a producer with a track record for making shows that perpetualize stupidity doesn't deserve our respect. you guys are confusing drama/low quality entertainment with respectable documentary style production like what we see with the moto by troy adamitis.
if she was from ESPN or a respectable entertainment company that was trying to make the sport look good, it'd be a different story. they're trying to capitalize on drama and make MX look like a bunch of wack job rednecks. The sports hurting as it is
Do you know why his stuff isn't on MTV or any other major network? Because only those involved in the sport can truly appreciate it. It is a special demographic that it aims to. It doesn't appeal to the masses. Our world is very small.
You are right, him directing would be amazing. the show would have to be a lot more like the show he did with Grant and Chisholm and the reality of what really happens. It would have to show this stuff ....
Did your toddler learn to ride before learning to walk? Do your family’s finances go straight to paying for his or her training, repairs or even injuries? Does your life as a parent revolve around your child's moto training schedule? Is motocross the one thing that brings your family together (or sometimes pulls it apart)?

Personally, I would like to see a show that documents the sport in a good light. Something showing the sacrifice and dedication of the families and participants in the sport would be great. I doubt that this proposed show will focus on this side of the sport; so less assume the worse content possible, i.e. a theme of fabricated excessive dramatized trailer trash. This doesn't necessarily have to result in a lose/lose.
Frankly, the audience of MTV is probably not a super set of the groups that others are worried might develop a bad impression of SX/MX, so, I wonder if it is even worth worrying about the group this proposed project will cause to have a negative perception. It is likely though that the project could develop an interest in likely attendees of events such as SX and the Nationals. Even if this interest is because they think they will see a freak show, it is hard to argue that something that potentially could result in more attendance at events is a bad thing. Once they attend the events they can get a true view of what the sport is about. Unless of course they are sitting next to the drunken brawlers that only come to get wasted and see a big crash. Hence I see a realistic possibility of increasing attendance with the opportunity to overcome any negative perception the show may have caused originally.
Just some thoughts.
Anything MTV produces isn't going to help the sport at all.
The True Life Or MADE where they took a girl and trained her to do a race? I think Hughes was here trainer? That was a great 1 hour showing what it took to ride dirt bikes and prepare for a race. It had no negativity at all.
I just find it funny that everyone knows this show will reflect badly on the sport because this individual is looking for the family that sacrifices everything to get to the top..... All because of a couple shows they don't like on the network.
You're delusional if you think this is going to turn into anything worth watching
Epic shots of people training, winning and hitting 100' triples with 12 ruts up the face can only be appreciated by us that have tried to do it and those shows struggle to get any airtime unless the people making it pay for it.
I hope they don't try and do a show personally, unless someone is attached to it that knows the sport and isn't just looking for the "dirt" so to speak.
But showing everything this girl has asked for in a family? absolutely. They are a part of the sport. a major part of it at the amateur level.
I think it would could be a successful show to show that side of the sport. My favorite "The Moto" show was the one with Grant and Chisholm and the reality of the sport mixed in with riding.
1 side can see some Media Value.
1 side can't see ANY value due the "Kardashianesque" Credentials.
It's a POISONED Subject.
Even if the show was a hit and put a couple more folks in the stands at a SX or even made 5-10 more people show up to watch a local race-who cares?
Pit Row
maybe you caught it.
It's usually the other way around.
As far as the " reality trash " it is out there and it sells, so IF you decide to ever put your family in the spotlight do your reserch, ask questions, and keep your guard up.. stay in control!
The "other" show that Andy (Regis) is refering to is about the day to day training, sacrifice and commitment the young athlete has to commit to be the best at their sport! It will showcase the family dynamic and family commitment to their children to help them follow their dreams, not just MX familes but all types of sports (4 families) and is being filmed for a major network on prime time TV, a made for family documentry.
I have 5 children and we have played sports from baseball, football, soccer to Motocross and trust me they all have the crazies they ALL require a full commitment from the families to rise above average and play or race @ an amatuer national level!
So I wouldnt worry about MX Dads being any differant than a crazy Soccer Dad, Baseball Dad, football, on so on ..the NUT JOBS are everywhere in youth sports!
Thanks so much for all of your responses - there's clearly a lot of passion about this sport and it's portrayal, which is awesome to see. But just to clarify, this project is currently unaffiliated with any network.
Again, submissions are going to 11streetcasting@gmail.com. It's been so great to hear the stories we've received so far, so please keep sending them in or referring others to our project.
Look forward to hearing more from ya'll soon. Best,
Amy
Motocross has the greatest stories from people who got paralyzed, overcome that and get back on the bike riding professional and winning races. Example: Christophe Pourcel, Christian Craig, ...
I also hope that you love the sport a bit or appreciate the sport a bit. You've worked with Travis Pastrana and the Nitro Circus gang so maybe you are doing this because you like Xtreme sports?! Don't know?!
PS: You should have mentioned your work at Jackass, Nitro Circus and Punk'd at your first post. Then those flamers wouldn't start to bash on you and Teenmom.
With that said.
Her track record, of shows she has made makes this venture for any family a 50/50 chance. It's going to really rely on what is said/asked during the auditions/casting process.
Hypothetically speaking, somebody should go, and report back whats really going on lol... Some tatical espionage.
I turned to MTV t-minus 5 mins ago and low and behold... a shitshow of a channel.
soo if her track record is legit, its going to be affiliated with mtv in some why.
Obviously somebody is interested in the sport to make a show.. But we all need to find out what channel it is. that would settle alot of these questions.
even for the beliebers that think mtv can be behind a show asking about ( Did your toddler learn to ride before learning to walk? Do your family’s finances go straight to paying for his or her training, repairs or even injuries? Does your life as a parent revolve around your child's moto training schedule? Is motocross the one thing that brings your family together (or sometimes pulls it apart)?
OH AND IF THIS IS BACKED BY CBS, im not watching a hour long infomercial about monster and how they help these people in the sport ahhahahhah
on another note, that true life or made episode. had tyler evans as the coach on one of them... and the other one was ryan huges.
A big ass gripe of mine about those two shows... is why the hell did they find the slowest girl riders in the world? .... They should have had some decent boy riders, so we could see some actual motoing.. Not survival rolling every damn jump. (end rant on that subject lol)
Stay so close to the truth as you can. Kids who break bones and try to ride with it are pretty dramatic.
Dads who are working 14 hours so they can fund the race career of the kid that is pretty dramatic. Moms who are terrified every time the gate drops is pretty cool! Brother and sisters who are giving up everything for there brother/sisters MX career is pretty dramatic.
If they really want to they can make one hell of a TV show without to much interference from a script.
