Does anyone else unfollow racerX during supercross? I find it interesting that they would think that this is helpful to anyone. If you’re following it in anyway, you’re not wanting a million tweets flooding your shit every 10 seconds explaining every little thing. Am I wrong?
If you can’t watch it, Live timing and the assistance of the odd tweet of why someone dropped a few positions (“Kelly down hard in the whoops”, as an example)

Happy to hear if it helps you, I’ll happily remove foot from mouth.



That’s 6 tweets in 3 minutes….

I check it all the time during the races. Good for things happening during the race but not covered by the cameras.

I can't really do video during the day on sat... typically out running around or riding... so their feed is cool for me

I will keep an eye out if I'm actually watching the race live. But more often than not am waiting until after the kids are in bed and catching the replay.

So you just refresh their twitter feed to get this sort of crap?

Honest question, wouldn’t livetiming be easier?

Not for SX, but for offseason races or Canada or other events I care about the tweets are nice...if I am not able to see, I enjoy the tweets versus just live timing. For instance, if Tanner Ward were to go from 2nd to 10th, I could see that from timing, but to see "Cannella jumps over the inside bale, hits Ward" "Ward up and remounting" tells me so much more.

Or if TV misses something or goes to commercial.

I like it . If I can’t watch a race live , it’s the first place I look to get a feel for how things went .

Just unfollow it like you said and let others that like it enjoy the tweets.

It's very handy. Raceday lives coverage is so shitty it's nice to actually get an idea of what's going on during practice.

I enjoy the updates especially when I can't watch it live and rely on Live Timing, you can find out what happened.

People are getting so needy on here lately.

If you don't like something or someone there is a magic unfollow button or the thumbs down below.

Livetiming is great if you're able to keep an eye on it.

Twitter updates are great if you're busy doing stuff and can only check in a few times during the race.
