Ha, I’m already bored from watching the clips from practice. No way I’m spending ten bucks to watch live when I can watch the highlights later for free. What a joke.

Wow dude what a great story, everyone here loves how you shared your opinion! Please don't forget to do it in the bench racing thread, I would hate to miss out on another one.

Mine did that to. Go to your phone settings for the espn app & turn on location services.

I used a VPN to watch it for free "in the UK"

There are enough things shown worldwide for free that we have to pay for in the US that I find the VPN cheaper than the 15 random apps they want me to pay for.

Side note: there should be a PPV style app that you can pay like five bucks to view individual events

I get ESPN+ with the Disney bundle so I was all set to go. Picture looked great on my setup. It was fun to watch, I really enjoyed it. Weege and Blair did a great job also.

Alas the sweet feeling of humour is so short lived for international fans watching those in the US complain about not being able to watch WSX and Straight Rhythm live…..
It only takes a moment until we realise; once it gets to SX time we’ll be screwed over yet again too.

I still struggle with everyone's issues on the streaming side. ESPN + is what, $10 a month and you could have watched it Live? Cancel it if you don't want the service after the race.

Why does everyone think TV production and all the costs that go into it should be free?? I don't care if it was free in the past as RedBull and many others are beginning to realize giving all of it away no longer provides a return.....example is they are no longer covering UCI Mountain Bike.....it will be on Discovery. I am in CA for work and drove to Huntington, spent $45 on a ticket, $75 on Ubers, and sat in the rain to watch it in person. It was badass and I am sure was badass to watch Live too.

The constant entitlement that all the companies owe you some thing is ridiculous. We are lucky to have the option to watch nearly anything we want should be thankful for it, even if it is $10.

For me I would watch it if it were free in time. It's just not that important to me. I'll save my ten dollars because ill need to pay for the military equipment to fight Putin whether I want to or not

I think the frustration is more generalized. Depending on what series or individual race you are watching and where in the world you are, you may or may not get to watch it live. You may or may not need a VPN or sign up for a streaming service. If you already pay for cable TV and have the race, it is delayed because they want to extract more from you to watch live. Glad you are local and got to watch. I watched a live stream on YouTube but would have paid for a one off race live if it wasn’t needing to signup for another service. Yes I know I can cancel. Just wasn’t willing to do the go gimmicky sign up and cancel dance.
