I prefer this to the regular format last week. But there really is a lot of dead time. I don’t know the answer.

I think youre on an island of one bud.... i agree with the consensus here this isnt jiving well. Maybe its bec of it being the first of its kind for AMA SUPERCROSS but its not working thus far for me.

Racing has been great, just massive downtime with a ton of commercials. Not sure the answer but def need something. Maybe some amature races?

This format is superior, but they have to work out some bugs. Of course this is going to happen, it's the first time they did it. Too much downtime can be fixed and adjusted, but its hard to beat the 3 gate drops with the best guys each race.

Riders have to recoup between races so i'm not sure how you would shorten the time except to not give them time to recover and be ready for the next race. Each race is longer as the night progresses so not seeing the program getting any shorter.

Multiple motos are a bad idea for the casual viewer. You have to know MX to have any idea who just took 2nd in the 250s.

Triple lame.
One, truly main event is much more exciting. Seely can when a heat race length “main” event, then finish 2nd in the final 2 races and when the night? Right? Seely can’t lose if he gets 2nd in this last race. ???

It’s all good bro. We all got our preferences. It isn’t perfect, but I’m burnt on the old format. 2 motos scored like outdoors points wise is my personal opinion of what’s best actually. I can see how some don’t like it, but that’s just me.

Nobody here has a dvr? Always start the show at least an hour late.

Yeah I got bored of watching ads and ended up watching UFC instead. I'd rather wait until it's uploaded instead of sitting through all that shit.

I would rather watch a women’s exhibition race than this Make up to Mud BS... it would be better exposure and either a local amateur exhibition or the KTM jr to fill the massive gaps between the three main event cycles.

That's what I do. I thought it was cool. Every gate drop was a main. I dont know about every race of the season, but 3 isn't too bad.

I guess that I don't get it. People are too bored with the longer races but they are going to stick around through 20 minutes of commercials and fluff?????????
You don't get it..but I don't disagree with you. They tried this because people tuned out when the top guys weren't racing such as what typically happens in the semi's. When people tune out, somebody loses $s. So they are trying this format. This would be a great format if they just make the races (almost) one after another. It would be tough on the riders but it would be tough on all of them and better for tv.

If you like watching Bud Light commercials it was awesome.

TV ratings will cause this dumb Idea to go away. 30 minutes of commercials is way to much.
The first round was 45 minutes of commercials. Insanity.

I had plenty of time to get beers between races: "Easy Button"
