Anyone know if the best Moto show on TV will make a return for a 5th season?
I know Troy ruffled a few feathers last year with the direction the show took, but it was an amazing show and in the end, probably resulted in more fans.
I really hope to see another season and would be willing to help crowd source if funding is an issue.

I am willing to bet that if Troy wanted to do it again, he could get enough money from Moto guys with a kickstarter project or something similar. I know I would definately donate for the production.
The Shop
my girl asked if there were any new episodes of it since we watched a few last season together.
she'll watch the races a bit if they're on but definitely enjoyed the behind the scenes stuff more.
RE Kickstarter- not a bad idea at all, and i'd be in to donate.
RE UFC- Old UFC events cost basically nothing to air since fox is in bed with ufc pretty good now.
For a network trying to stay in the black- reairing these events and keeping costs low makes sense, no?
Being a video guy in this industry, though I do not consider myself anywhere near the level of Troy and his crew, it's tough to bring ideas to life and it is especially hard when you want to tell the stories we saw in season four. Aside from the money being almost non-existent, when you go to a industry sponsor and pitch them on a concept that may be a bit dark and expose how things really are (from a rider's perspective), sponsors will shy away despite the fact you'll bring the story full circle and close on a happy ending.
I've had a few big ideas that I strongly believe could be eye-opening films to show what can truly be done with motocross films, and I've tried finding financial support for them and it's just not happening. A lack of supporting creativity and outside the box thinking doesn't always jive well within this industry, and it's hard to even find a few bucks to go make a couple minute teaser to show them how cool it can be. Kickstarter, IndieGoGo, etc is something I see being a great way bring ideas to reality without necessarily dealing 100% with industry sponsors who are telling you to kick rocks, and it's something I've been kicking around the idea of doing for a while. And, if Troy and his crew were to go that route for whatever project(s) they may have coming up, I would 100% support that however possible.
The Moto: Road to the Amature Nationals
He could really get into the home schooling, big dreams and big let downs of the amature scene. Start by following a few families through the qualifiers all the way to Loretta's. Show the triumphs and failures, the big amature teams vs the mom and pop racers.
Never thought of that, but that would be more than cool.
Last season was the best piece of journalism ever concerning MX. I've never seen anything else that captured the attention of non-moto people like those episodes. They just spoke volumes about how difficult this sport is from many angles.
Pit Row
Good stuff!!!
Yeah.
I also laugh when people pick on riders for homeshooling, when their posts are filled with typos.
His posts haven't really improved from before.
