If one team hops as much as he/she does, then they clearly don't even have the speed to stay on a team, let alone qualify for a main. It doesn't matter if they team hop? Why not just close your team recruitment in the beginning of the race season
Because I don't like downloading GB's of skins for them to be useless a few rounds in, so annoying. I already don't download most teams stuff because I have no idea who any of the people are on them, I'd rather not have the ones I do download be a waste and not be able to see any skins a quarter way through the season.

That also goes for team add-on packs. "Here's a dyno change for joe SX", "Heres a new set of 10 gears for everyone even though we already have 50 sets each". Should have figured out what bike you like riding in the 3-4 months after nationals guy.

There really isn't a reason to be on a team if you're constantly switching (and no I'm not calling out Wilcox, I'm speaking in general). People view teams like they actually mean something when in reality they don't. Maybe a few years ago when there was a team championship, but none of that exists anymore. Only reason I'm on a team is because I've been friends with everyone on any team I've been on, and we're all in the same Xfire/Vent/Teamspeak and playing the game together all the time anyway. I'm not going to join a team with random people I only heard the names a few times and never talk to just to get some new sick skins brah.

That's why I give a damn. I figured since I "created" this topic I should reply again :lol:

Then don't download the skins. That's their fault that they won't see their skins on a stream because they came to the team late. If they wanted to be able to see their stuff on stream, they should have joined before race season started. Just don't dl the skins

So you´re saying they should run the stream with roughly 20-30% people with skins and the rest on stock bikes? So that no-one can distinguish who´s who and who is battling with whom or who that was that just crashed back there.

I'd rather not see 2/3 of the field on stock RMZs/YZFs in the same gear.
