I would rather wait 6 more hours and watch SPEED actually show racing and stay with the battles on the track. If you are going to go to the trouble of filming the races, why not show them.

P.S.

Take Shityheen and shove him your azz!!!!!!!!

Do you Seriously think that the CBS crew is not the same as the Speed film crew?

If you are going to complain, you should at least be a little more informed on what you are complaining about.

Thanks for the clarification Ocscottie. Didn't know I had to study to make a post. Are you not pissed off with the coverage?

It's the same crew and the coverage was good, it's a lot to do to get it on air a few hours after the race.

We all would like to see more racing. I'm sure the "fluff" is to inform the uniformed supercross fan so they are more knowledgable about our sport and riders. It sucks for us because most of us know the majority of the history and just want to see the racing action. I'm thankful it is on primetime and the next morning though.

It was a pretty exciting race and not watching or listening last night, the action up front was good. Chad rode a hella of race to come back to second.

X100, I was all into Reed passing Windham but I got Stewart all by himself instead.

Why sweet talk them?

That was one of the worst shows I've seen. Half hour into until any racing is shown.

Do people really care about Reed and Ellie's personal life?...No, show some racing

Do people really care about what the temperature is?...No, talk about the racing that you're finally showing

Hey fucking camera director, there's an exciting battle for 2nd place on the last fucking lap. Why in the fuck are you showing stewie cruising around the last couple corners when the cameras should be on the race going on. That whole crew should be fired.

I'm so glad they brought the webcast back, if I only had the TV coverage to check out the races I'd have to take up another sport.

1. I didn't have to pay to watch.
2. Chad is on fire.
3. James is struggling.
4. Poto and Grant are entertaining us with the other race in a race.
5. It isn't perfect, but like Garmon said, we got to watch. Remember the ESPN2 days when MX/SX got cancelled for Spelling B's and Hockey Draft?
6. I don't care about Chad's personal stuff much, but Ellie did look good!

The Grant interview was a week to late. Emig is brutal when he does a one on one.

Its just a matter of time before this sport goes big time. N O T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it is because a lot of the country still gets their TV picture thru that big aluminum thing on the roof.So this is the 1st race for a lot and they go thru and show the fluff again.

Lots of spoiled people.Go back to waiting until 4am (pick a day because you never knew )to watch larry maiers on motoworld and get week old news but still beating cycle news by 3 days.

Only thing I hate is the damn gay ass fmx shit they show.

1. I'd rather pay to "listen" then get that crap they're showing for free.
2. Not a Reed fan but yeah he rode amazing last night.
3. James needs to get that bike working.
4. Yes they are.
5. At least when it was on it was good.

Since we have the webcast and all the moto websites to find out live what happened, I would rather watch the race a few weeks later with proper editing than that shit.

I sure hope all the emphasis on the ever important TV Package for the nationals does not produce the same lame ass shit.

Yeah, 30 minutes in before you get to see any racing!! Come on, speed may be filming, but CBS is doing the editing and they did a seriously crappy job of putting together a 1 hour race program. All the info in the fluff section was seriously old news. I want to see the heats. If anything intense happens in the LCQ I would like to see the hilites of that. Then onto the main. I know they have to do commercial breaks, but they shouldn't cut out the racing. When they go to a commercial, stop the racing and when they come back resume the racing. We missed some good action because of commercial breaks.

Come on... the coverage of the actual race sucked.
Little coverage of the LCQ.. Ok...who cares!
A clip or two from the Quals... would like more.
The coverage was beyond sad. Chad works his way through the pack. Not a shot of that at all. Then when the last lap comes and Reed is closing in on Windham like a freight train they cover Stewart riding around on the slowest parts of the track until near the finish when they finally show a pass by Reed on KDub. The "race" was for second and it should have been shown. They have more than one camera on site, I would hope... why not tape various parts of the race and let a talented and trained editing crew put it together.

As far as producing the show... they have nearly 10 hours to edit the digital, which should have been ample time to understand that the Reed/Kdub battle was the most exciting part of last night and they missed the whole entire thing!

Glad I was there because the coverage left much to be desired!

Personally, I really don't care who is doing the commentary, its about the race. (Although Bailey in the booth would be a bonus).

My only complaint is they could have paid a little more attention to Chad coming through the pack early on in the main. And the lack of "WOW" when he first turned up on the screen with 6 laps remaining... They made it seem like Chad was in 6th the whole race, then poured it on at the end.

How pissed would football fans be if instead of showing the 1st half of the football game, they showed BS interview with the coaches, players, and owners? How about instead of showing the 80 yard TD pass they showed the left tackle blocking a linebacker the whole time? I guarentee there would be some changes real quick.

Really I thought they did okay with the main until they completly fucked up the reed pass on windham. That just really pisses me off.

You could see in the background that Grant messed up on another rhythm section and Villopoto passed him.

The Supercross broadcasts seem 100% geared toward getting new people into this sport. It's really just a commercial for Supercross. That's why it's free. That's why they are focusing so much on building a sense of who the people are behind the helmet (with the rider profiles).

It's a tough balance to hit I am sure. Too bad they couldn't have a web tv subscription service that showed every bit of racing for the hardcore fans, as an alternative to the broadcast.

I thought at some points-like Stewarts last lap- they could have used picture in picture to show both the battle and the winner.

The CBS Sports Spectacular broadcast & audio crews Suck! Today's broadcast of Supercross was a joke! I just watched last nights race in HD with no Phuking Audio!! "These Pucking people just don't get it!" The producer/director/audio supervisor & camera crew of CBS SportsTV all should be fired!! Thank god for SPEEDHD!
