Sorry yet another thread on this. No not that Flo but I’m down for that at least.
Spent all day Saturday at Washougal. Awesome day with great weather and racing, and a huge crowd. Just sat down to watch replays after a busy day working on bikes in the shop.
Fvcking 480p quality. Almost unwatchable. 250 moto 1 started 15 seconds into the moto. No lead in, no nothing just right into the race well after the gate drop.
Oh and now “no input signal” and it freezes.
I fvcking love this sport. It’s my #1 passion. DC you are fvcking us with this shit. Yeah I know Washougal is in the woods. Record it local and give us something decent. This is a joke.

Ok. So far, 450 moto one is looking much better. Plessinger with a rider profile only to get interrupted with a comcast commercial? Holy hell. And the 450 moto gets interrupted by the same stupid commercial which goes back in time to earlier in the race. Amateur hour. Unreal.
Villopoto has been fantastic.
Not a full lap into first 250 moto. Another commercial.
What the hell is happening.
Great conversation about the Nations following Chuck Sun… let’s go to commercial. Two laps to go… another commercial.
450 moto four minutes in another commercial. Are they doing this to make fans angry? Jesus! Again! Eli and Chase going at it… let’s go to commercial with 4 minutes left. 2 laps to go… another commercial. God damn.
Another commercial at the finish. What is going on. Dungey gets an interview. Let’s have another commercial and not hear what he has to say.
And I am paying for this.
How fking hard it can be to match that?
Oh and the quality of the picture was awesome too.
Pit Row
We all need to own our incompetence.
Either way, pretty sad.
We have had Peacock and flawless viewing for several years.
Then a complete and utter failure this year. And yeah, the ad within an ad. Feels scammy and dirty. Like the viewers are just whipping boys and will pay whatever and view whatever is shown. Treat Mx fans like we all wear a dunce cap.
Sorry. I’m not that desperate to watch.
And yeah the vid quality S.U.C.K.E.D.
I am sorry it's not working the way we thought it would when the season started.

Honest to god... I think the local high school A/V club could put together a better production if given the chance.
What the hell is happening that 3 weeks in they still have audio issues at every commercial (that we weren't supposed to have), errors in going to commercial, black screens, picture and picture showing an earlier part of the race when they go to commercial, terrible quality stream at times, etc. etc.
It's absolutely nuts!
For the love of god bring back Peacock!!!
If Mav or Flo told us how to jump through the hoops to get a good streaming experience it may not have been such a fiasco. It seems like they just took our money, laughed, and said "figure it out yourself".
could mxsports not set up some sort of fund where we the actual fans can contribute to a streaming service that we want? Somebody posted on another thread some start up costs that seemed to go well into the millions - not sure if true/accurate but at this point Id pay $200 per year for a crisp, simple stream with no ads and less midrace BS interviews. Just a simple reliable stream. Just put Weigandt in the commentary booth with a case of Redbull to commentate and when there isnt racing just turn off the camera and mute until the next moto. The podium interviews, midrace team manager chats - all of that I dont need. That can be recorded and uploaded to RacerX on the sunday/monday etc - I just wanna see live HD motocross racing with 0 fluff.
Oh wait we can’t talk about commercials or the mob will loose their mind!
But you want the consumer to crowd fund a streaming platform for poor Davey?
It’s not like buying uniforms for the little sisters of the poor sports team.
The investments needed to have your own streaming platform needed to start happening a decade ago.
This group has milked the nationals for decades. Same tracks, same payouts, same production team. Same everything.
It’s called resting on your laurels and they have done it for years and years.
Sorry if that sounds harsh but that’s the reality. That’s why you have vulture companies like Flo Sports step in to stream and then rape the customer on the cost and provide a subpar streaming experience. Because there are NO other options.
Post a reply to: Ok Flo sucks too.
