I have noticed that you can’t find several seasons of late 90’s and early 2000’s 125 supercross races online. Is this a licensing issue or is it just because people haven’t posted the races? The reason I am asking is because I think I have a several of these races and I may post them.

Who has all of the master copies of all these old races and why do they not make them available for viewing?

Seriously, what good is coming out of having them locked away in a vault where no one can see them?

Fans that have uploaded old races on Youtube are a godsend but it would be nice to have higher quality versions to watch.

Ive noticed the same thing. 2004 comes to mind, there seems to be one guy that posted most of them and the video quality is terrible. Like you can barely make the bikes out. Frustrating, because that was an awesome season.

Feld has been taking them down off YouTube for a while now

I think I heard somebody (maybe Jason Weigandt) say that it is unclear who even has the rights to those broadcasts. Feld seems to claim them, even though they didn't own the series at the time.

Not sure if there are legal disputes behind the scenes about that stuff, or just nobody even cares enough to try to resolve it.

Youtube has been pretty garbage in dealing with "gray area" content like that honestly. I used to drop old vhs races on there but i just kept getting striked and restricted for all kinds of reasons. Which is a bummer since it would be so cool to have a giant collection of all oldschool races avaible online!

I've never understood why Feld , or anyone that may own the rights to these races now , doesn't give the fans a chance to actually purchase them? So many years and so many races just not available any where. I know they wouldn't make a boat load of money , but I'm sure it would be well worth their while......and after all these years , still nothing. Depressing.
