Damn frustrating to not see use of a split screen which fox uses in all other racing broadcast. There must be a reason.

Either the booth cant follow a split or they think the fans cant.

Having to watch triple replays of tipovers in slomo while good racing is beenng missed makes me cuss the TV.

Show that after the 4 to 6 minute race is over instead of stupid pics of bikes in the livingroom.

And poor Jamie little,I love her but wtf is the purpose of having her at some desk giving an opinion,she needs to be down in the dirt getting interviews.

I think Jamie had a facelift maybe? She had that "pulled back" look around her eyebrows. Nevertheless, I still want her to have my baby...


Program need a re- format, Fox needs to be more creative than using a spider cam.

Dump the stupid tweets also, I like to look at Diana but lets face facts, she is limited to eye candy in the TV personality dept.

Sorry Diana

Overall I would say a good broadcast!

I have to say the image quality sucks! I switched the channels to football just to see if it was my TV or cable company and the image was SHARP and clear. The Fox 1 broadcast for me was blurry and cut out several times!

Diana as Miss Supercross is tiresome... I can't blame her ($$$) but you can see she is showing off more skin (sluttier) to try to hang on to her audience. Yes the whole Tweet deal is out of place.

Jenny Taft is awesome!!

Emig and RC did a great job!! I'm not a fan Ralph Shaheen and would love to see Jimmy Holley brought in as a replacement.

Don't understand the obsession with hash tags and tweets either. Maybe SX is just ground breaking, but don't notice other sports doing this....Agree with hillbilly on the replays. Happens every time where you can hear the crowd go nuts in the background but they are showing a replay...and then don't tell you what happened to get the crowd going. Maybe that's the way to keep live TV from eating away at ticket sales???

I agree with hillbilly, plus I hate the scoreboard it takes up too much room in my opinion.
I thought the picture quality was great on directv, never noticed any blurriness or other problems.

Agreed and all I can say is I hope these are just "growing pains".

I realize they need filler, but if I wanted to see some guy from Schenectady's pit bull in a jersey and goggles, I'd have a Facebook or Instagram account running.

Give us some pit news, rider profiles, anything pertaining to the event at hand.

Fox needs to dump Jenny Taft and Erin Little. Bring back Erin Bates. Also, RC should get out of the booth. He cannot talk and says stupid shit all the time. K dub was not bad. Maybe have some retired guys in there.

The split screen is the only way the replays should be shown,to me it is like the director thinks the crashes are more important,like it is what the fan wants to see.

Id like to see stuff like loading the gate,packing in the start,just action before gate drop and such.

Look,I'm happy I get to sit at my compound,drink moonshine and watch somewhat live racing, but this format is tired.

You would think they would do more for the teams and sponsors for filler. Talk to the teams and manufacturers about changes that occurred in the off-season. Short interviews witht the riders, mechanics, and team managers.....and i'm not talking about about stuipid questions like what is your fave food in off season. More like what changes were made to the bike during the day? How do you feel about the impact of JS7 penalty? How has the new bike affected your readiness for the new season? Do this in short bits throughout the show instead of one commentator recapping then throwing it to another announcer for more recap.

The whole tweet thing is annoying and that scoring thing on the left was annoying

Yep....the only thing I don't like about Anaheim 1 is the 2 weeks of sandy vagina threads about the broadcast.

I try to tether the complaining with suggesting improvements. Agreed that a lot of what comes in is strictly complaining. But Hillbilly does have a point. There are a lot of areas that the broadcast could be much better. My biggest WTF is when they cut away from an awesome battle to go to some other rider that is on cruise control. Then you hear the crowd react and you know you missed something.
