1st off, even though your trying to be nice you are way off base, and forgetting to add all the other side, I'll do my best to address them. And I'll say the topic itself is biased, the way it hypes football and states in motocross we simply "run out of gas". 1st you say you have to be Quick strong and fast. In motocross, you have to be quick, on the bike and in your movements on the bike at high levels of speed, you also have to think fast, you have to stay one step ahead of the track things are coming at you fast, you have to react and think fast or you gonna be a mangled, broken, pile bones. You say you have to be strong, the stronger you are in mx, the better, you have man handle a 200+ pound piece of machinery with moving parts around a track for 30+ 2 laps, or 20mins full tilt, with the laws of physics working aginst you. Then you say you have to be fast, well again we sort of coverd that. No for agility, and hand eye coordination, well you are constantly looking ahead of the track you have to quick with your hands, eyes, and feet, to control you foot brake, hand brake lever, handle bars to stir the machine, and oh yes, your clutch lever and throttle. So yeah, hand eye and foot coordination are mandatory. Along with the agility to perform all of that, and to kkep loose on the bike, elbows up leg out, stand up, sit down for corners, up on the tank, stand back up, shift your weight, for different obstacles and track conditions. Now the willingness to hit and get hit, well, how about the willingness to case a 108ft tripe and hit the ground, and the willingness to have so.e guy come into your line, and clean you out with a 200+ lb machine traveling at 40mph, with sharp pegs and parts, over a 90ft double, the willingness to hit the ground and just take it, they do not make you sign a waver to go play a game of football, and if you play a backyard game there id not a high chance you will go home in a streacher. Courage, and commitment ........like ball players can't imagine. Fearleness, you put your LIFE on the line every single time you step foot, or wheel on a track. When you go to game, you never think, well, this may be my last. Or even have to worry about that. You have no clue about fearlessness. And finally you talk about remebering plays, well lets talk about technique, and the 1000's of hrs. it takes to prfect them, and try to remeber them when your riding something that is hurling you towards an object at 40+ mph, ready to launch your ass 90-100+ ft. down the track, oh yeah, with 40 other dudes all around you doing the same thing. Worring about your rear gyro, front brake, clutch control, throttle, rear brakes, dragging them, there is soooooo much technique, go watch hrs. of Gary Semics videos, and you will see what I mean, and remeber all that, lile I said while blasting down a track into your certain doom, if you don't. So yeah advantage mx. On top of all the endurance. Sorry guys, you just don't understand it, and thats whats aggravating. I get football, and love it, but I dont disrespect it. But so many teamsports people look at mx lile its not even a sport and it gets 0 inderstanding from you guys, but i can hang out play some backyard ball with my friends and watch a good game and respect it, but some people who I know that are big team sport supporters, not only dont understand mx, but don't give ots due respect. Even the family, and bonding aspect. Its unreal how family oriented it is.
