Are you serious?!?!?! How the fuck did they do that?!?!?!?!

It boggles my mind how many times they miss stuff..

Like when they replay the start... Who the fuck wants to see it 5 times when the racing is on... just do one good race recap and only replay good passes or sick moves or crashes... Is their a MX rider directing the footage or some stick and ball fucknut!?!?!?!

No that's bs, if a rider is coming up through the pack and heading for the win you don't have to be a brain surgeon to stick the camera on him!!!! Fuckin hell????

Same thing is someone is way out front and someone else is ripping through... Like Supercross this year, James is 5 secs out front and Reedy is catching KW... Show the pass for fucks sake, that's the exciting bit, who wants to see someone hit the checkers?!?!

Do any of the insiders here know who directs what footage gets used, ie what we actually see? Is it a former rider or an mx fan at least???

I was yelling the same thing, and my wife is like "You know there will be a replay." But IMO that's not the point, we watch for passing, and whats the point of watching live if your not going to see the pass for the lead!

Other than that though I really enjoyed the broadcast. I like the pip interviews and the coverage was good. Live MX is good, it will get better I'm sure.

Even if it's live they could do better on the replay. They started the replay right as CR was even with JG. At least show it from a few seconds back. On another note....pretty darn good coverage other than that missed pass. I really do appreciate live coverage on TV and on the NET.

The best part of the live race, which we all saw coming, we got to see in a replay. What's the point of live racing if we see the best part of the race on tape? They do take the commercials about the same time every race, so maybe it's already decided when commercials come before the race even starts.

I always love when we spend the first half lap of a race watching some guy pick his bike up that fell in the first turn.....
