I wake up most days, put on my tinfoil hat, watch whatever Cooksey has put out and then scroll IG rage-commenting on most every rider's post. 

(I kid. Can't believe nobody joked about Cooksey!)

Vital post race show and whatever else looks interesting on the main page. Weege post race show, & title 24. And the forum to solve the worlds problem obviously 😄

I don't buy moto publications any more, but I'll pop over on RacerX or MXA online ever so often...and will check out Gypsy Tales when there's an interview (like the recent 3hr Cooper Webb interview) that catches my attention.

Pulp show, Moto 60, and Race review

Here for the forum, pit bits, social scoop, some interviews (prefer to read), Post race review

Blair's stuff

Some articles and info on Racer X

JT's pod

Some of Keefer's pod content

Occasionally a Whiskey Throttle episode - if it's a guest I am really interested in (Ping is hard to listen to at times......)

Rarely I will listen to Gypsy - has to be a great guest (Jase is really hard to listen to bro..........!)

I'll listen to something on SWAP Moto if something pops up that looks cool

Most of my media I take in is through podcasts, listen while working/driving and I can take in a ton of information. It really bugs me when people call them selves a podcast and only post it on YouTube. I listen to all pulp/main event moto/ vital stuff. I used to listen to swap moto more often but it’s gone down hill since Anton left only really listen when there’s nothing else to click on. Have been trying to listen to Johnny hopper some but I listened for about 15 minutes this week and all he wanted to talk about was how many more views he gets then anybody else.

Twitter is also my preference for social media. Lewis, matthes and Kellen all post a lot during the day during the races and are quite interactive. Even a few riders like savatgy, Jordon smith and Hampshire will jump into some conversations

I glance Vital daily, and I still get the print version of MXA.  I do have to admit, my amount of time and clicks on Vital is down-trending.  The posts sounding more and more like prepubescent menstrual bad social media posts is getting old.  Social media is making us mental, it didn't used to be this way.

VitalMX of course. As far as Pulp goes, I really enjoy the Blair Matthes project and Lewis vs Kellen.

I also really enjoy the Live Motocross YouTube uploads with JT and Ben Townley.

Can’t forget pulp. Pulp goes on every Monday when I get in bed. Don’t believe in half of Steve’s views but that’s the good thing about freedom of speech. He always nails down some of the best guests and he does more than he needs to for the privateers. I do think it’s funny how people get mad how he pats himself on the back for all the things he does for the sport. Don’t get me wrong he gets more clicks and eyes on him for supporting the privateers which mean money in his pocket. But before him no one was doing exactly what he is doing and trust me all the privateers love it.

Vital has replaced Thumpertalk for me and I'm sad about that. I still visit TT a few times a year, and the DRZ forum there is still great. 

Websites: Vital is my most visited site. I go to MXA for their cool throwback posts and the other sites occasionally. 

For video/audio: I can't handle much youtube, I watch Daniel Blairs show and that's about it, unless I'm searching for something specific. I don't listen to audio interviews on Vital or YT. I do listen to Pulp Podcast, the race review shows and will listen to Gypsy if the guest is right. Oh and Motocross Vault for throwback bike reviews!

I prefer reading over listening if I have the choice. The podcasts are for driving and work when I can.

I thought TT died a long time ago? I remember back in 2004(I think) they were pretty big but not so much the last 12+ years? Lots of great info on there when we were all going on our first 250f.

Vital, the best overall website/content, good job shaping this up ML! 

Racer X ”new” website layout is terrible, almost stopped going there. Weege is great of course but the ”Weege show” is strange sometimes, words, words, words…

Swaps content is ok, nothing to much, easy to watch. Likeable guy.

For having the absolutely best detailed bike tests that has the best info and a value for a bike buyer (sorry ML) the MXA website totally sucks (same stories run over and over again) and is also packed with wrong facts in many articles.

DB is really knowledgeble and sharp (even tough he was fkn wrong about ”george” in the SX preview show) and i really like his content. Edit: at least he admitted he was ”wrong” about Jorge and possibly even the Kawi in the Glendale review show, props to him! 😄

Matthes knows stuff, knows a lot of people, mellowed down a bit i think, great content. Tries to get most stuff maybe not a full 5,5 hour Pulp show.

Gypsy? Still havent listened to a full episode. Im sure they are great, to me the short reels on FB/insta is enough.

Whiskey/Ping: watched most shows with his guests, really great!

DMXS: Legends!

Title 24, i love them both but pretty hollow, sorry.

Tony Blazier, great stuff!!!

This forum. 
But otherwise on vital I’ll only really look at pit bits. I don’t really like watching a video of the post race shows. I suppose I could listen to them on podcast, but I don’t watch them on this site. It feels odd just looking at you guys wearing headphones and not much else.

and Steve’s Pulp show. 

That’s it.

I use to visit RacerX and Vurb. Vurb just ain’t what it used to be and between DC and Weedge I’ve got to where I just don’t care to hear their polished corporate opinions on everything. I pretty much only visit vital and listen to pods.

I used to follow JT and Blair but too much overlap.

I read very little anymore. I dont subscribe to any magazines anymore.

I'm pretty much a Pulpmx guy, followed by Vital and Swapmoto in that order. I'll watch Mossiman interview guys on the MXA youtube channel sometimes and sometimes i will listen to JT$ on that livemoto channel, or whatever its called. I might listen to bits and pieces of Gypsey interviews. 

This is me too. Pulpmx and his sub shows is the majority of mine. That and Vital for forums stuff. I do like mxa you tube videos, reviews, Josh racing etc.

I am surprised MotoXPod isnt mentioned more.

Really enjoy listening to it, they seem to be regular down to earth people interviewing the riders as fans of mx/sx.

Not so anxious as the other "journalists" to be their favourite racers best friend and getting free stuff from the industry.

I dont trust any media outlet regarding technical content, especially "garagebuilds" and "project bikes" 

Even i could make any bike work great if i throw 10K @ it.

1) Vital: Pit Bits! The more recent tire and bike stuff with Tokarski are excellent.

2) Podcasts: Pulp, Swap, Vital, LVK, (Paddock Pass for road racing)

3) YouTube: MXA, Keefer, Vital, Weege

4) Visits to Keeferinc, MXA, or RacerX as articles of interest come up. I do still subscribe to MXA.
