1. We the fans DO NOT want to watch 3 guys picking up their motorcycles on the opening lap of the Main Event. This is usually some of the best racing of the night and we all missed it last night.
2. When a rider goes from 3rd to 1st by making great passes, please show us a REPLAY (or better yet, see #1 to avoid this from even happening)
3. Your predecessors fixed this issue for the past few seasons by incorporating a SPLIT SCREEN into the broadcast. It would be great if you could call the old crew up to see how they solved this very frustrating issue we all thought was fixed.

Thank You.

Spyder cam lens cleaning kit would help too.

Couldn't agree more!! I'm always pissed when they keep the camera on the downed guys, missing the most exciting part of the race! Ugh, I hate that shit

And the split screen showing RD taking his bike back to the pits was completely pointless!!

Did they even hint at when/how Musquin got by Seely? Replay? Anything?

I like the overhead shot as having multiple fields of view is something you only get with television.

Split screen is certainly warranted in our sport. There are often multiple battles or items of interest to show viewers.

If FS1 feels they are losing viewers and therefore won't be able to have the commercials pay up, they'll make changes.

4) start interviewing riders back in the pits, concerning points of interest, during the nights racing progression

Hate the spyder cam. In the world of photography it's like a fisheye lens. It's a cool persoective but it's easily played out and over used.

They're watching the broadcast feed on a monitor and I don't think they're supposed to call any action not being shown.
I remember a few years back when Ricky reacted loudly to something on the track that wasn't on the broadcast feed....and kind of apologized. I guess he was looking over the monitor at the race. Wink

Shoot I'm just happy I get to watch live sx and mx every weekend. I can remember having to call 1-900-pro-race or wait weeks to get results in the magazines.

I love the spyder cam, although the mist kinda killed it last night.
You can see the line choices from above really well.

It is the oversized running order on the left side of the screen that keeps me looking for the minimize icon.

And why are we watching a bunch of pigs being raised on a farm, instead of watching the LCQ? This is bullshit.

4. Show the 250 LCQ. It is often the most exciting race of the night.

Disagree, although the bit on Dorkner wasn't all that much better.

I dont think its bitching to expect Fox Sports (who is broadcasting the NFC Championship right now) to use production techniques - multiple camera shots, replay, etc. - we would expect to see at a high school football game. They do know HOW and I think we should expect more as viewers knowing they have that ability.
