Yeah, I watched the entire TV broadcast, and I'm still not sure what the format was.
Did they earn championship points on each gate drop, and the overall winner was Tomac in the Super Main event?
Also, did the stadium floor just seem more dull than a Supercross stadium? I can't put my finger on it exactly. Maybe because most (all?) the tough blocks were "WSX" branded, instead of various sponsors? Maybe it was the black/orange color just isn't as vibrant? But somehow the track overall just seemed "minor league" compared to the Feld product.
and i got down votes on page 3 while trying to explain the same with different words 🙄
It’s new, it’s different. People really like to whine and bitch about everything.
Watched it today...
And people here think Bondo is bad...

Yeah, this is my first year watching the full races and it was an eye opener. Last year my moms boyfriend watched one of the wsx races on the tv when he was in the hospital, but I didn't ask him his thoughts on the broadcast.
I think the combination of the color of the dirt plus the mostly black livery on the tough boxes really makes it seem dull on camera. I was on the fence of the high-vis color way that SMX adopted but it really does pop against the color of dirt and under the lights.
I agree. Also the huge fireworks show made it smokey all race. Gave it a low contrast blurred effect on the stream.
More whoops than AMA SX?
Yes but they were small.
And more prize money?
I will say, Micah Kranz and Ryan Gaulds announcing at BC place was really good live. Gauldy is one of the best announcers in my opinion
I mean I want this to be true, I’m rooting for these guys hard. I think the sport is better with wsx than without it ESPECIALLY if some of the top euro guys start racing wsx. That being said racing back to back races in each class seems like a “big thing” they got wrong. They can get away with it once or twice, but what if eli or roczen had crashed or had a mechanical dnf. The 5 minute break between races means their night is completely over. Then not running the correct amount of laps is another big problem. Timing and scoring ill give em a pass cuz the nationals have been bad too. I feel like theyre going to have to switch this format around AGAIN because back to back races is not gonna work when a lot of their entire selling power will be paying a couple top guys to show up. They need to make sure that those guys can make every main unless its a catastrophic injury, them missing a main cuz the format is wonky will just make them look like they dicked it all up… again.
I noticed that too, I couldnt tell if the stadium itself was darker inside than normal or if it was something else, but thats what it looked like. I figured it was either the stadium itself had dimmer lights inside than US stadiums, some type of like contrast issue with the broadcast or cameras, a ventilation issue making it smokey, plus the color of the dirt or all of them combined. Whatever it was it seemed dark.
A few residual Ralph and RC fans in the house I see?
Couldn't get enough of the fuck-ups, man bodies, and alligators aye?
The old fat guys who were hitting on the young girls asking them if they wanted a man friend, those guys? I thought they were the worst part of the show.
As a fan of Tomac and Roczen...I'm just glad a race happened. BUT, the camera production was absolute shit. Almost never watched the battle up front. And instead we get to watch 10th place....10th in a series of 2 legends and the rest are 10-20 place guys normally. For a "series" I deem inferior in every way, it proved exactly why its a fair-race level event. Dirt had more rocks than Unadilla. Track was dangerously choppy in most areas. At least they could blitz the whoops instead of pussy jumping thru them like the ones Feld creates now. Granted they got smaller as the night went on because of maintenance and weren't even tough. (Tomac wheelied the whole section multiple times).. Most crashes I've seen in a Pro race night in history. Track was way too narrow. CARDBOARD....the cardboard was back!. No safety tuff blocks, just air and paper, people...ffs. Half the guys that crashed into the boxes were trying to pack their bikes into them to ship them the hell outta there.. Freezy was a dick as he normally is. How any sanctioning body lets him race professionally is astounding.
edit: Don't even get me started on Raplh and Emig...worst duo in MX commentator history.
The dirt was a paid actor tho...
Pit Row
It was a decent event
Friese, once again proves he is the most irrelevant man in moto. Hasn't raced since last season, and the only thing he can do to keep himself relevant is block other racers as he goes backwards.
That's his race-craft, hole-shot, protect the insides, and hold on....
