How many times do you watch the most recent SX race within a 3-4 day period after the original broadcast on Saturday night?
My lady thinks I am crazy that I watch it multiple times during the following week. I always see something new and I told her, many of folks watch the races over and over and I am not the only one who does this......she still thinks I am crazy and doesn't get it.....
I watch the live coverage obviously and since the anticipation and " what is going to happen next" factor kicks in, I feel like I am doing 20 laps and cant really relax and enjoy it, so I typically watch the 450 main again after the race ends as she heads off to bed....Then I may watch it again sunday moring with my coffee....Then again Monday as well...If the race is really good like the past few weeks, I may fit it in once a day...... Anyone else do this?

GoPro's
Then I'll look at highlights online if I want to watch something real close.
She even watches it with me, which is awesome. But one Saturday when I fired up "Supercross live" she was like- "Wait, you watch PRACTICE???...for several hours...before the race?" She thought that was insane, so I quit doing that.
I actually sat and watched "the Bachelor" with her (it's horrible). Then I watched "Walking Dead" which I don't like all that much.
Sitting through that was part of my plot for having her watch "Chasing the dream"- hoping it might pique her interest in the riders.
Funny because I had the same conversation with my wife awhile back!
Pit Row
I hope you are kidding!!!!!!!
My girlfriend watches all of it with me, practice, qualifiers, races, all of it. Online, recorded....all of it! We just got back from Dallas and that night tuned in the HD replay to see it again!
She brings me beers and makes snacks for us, it's a weekly event. She knows most of the riders, and has
her favorites.....and it's fun to predict our "winners".........She even breaks out her "Milsaps" shirt when he is racing! lol
Don't feel guilty about watching Supercross.......it's not like your shooting heroin or in the strip club without her.....or both.....
(and.....I don't have to watch that other crap on tv) But, I do watch HGTV sometimes and like it!
Hope things get better bro
PS
I was on the road last weekend, so still have not seen last weeks race yet.
I used to watch it 2-6 times a week. Although there is multiple races that I have watched at least 15-20 times. Last vegas 2003 comes to mind.
sucks not having cable.
She's cool- on our first date I took her to the track. She loves riding around on the bike with me.
I've only been dating my girl for about a year. I am hoping with time she will get more into it, but I feel lucky she even watches it with me.
She never saw me race, but took care of me when I got my hip replacement this summer. So she saw the bad side of the sport right up front.
I've had friends whose girls literally threw a fit if we tried to watch moto. Like- despised it.
