I like pit bits also. I also really like the What I learned on Friday videos. Does anyone know if these videos will continue for the nationals?

Yes, every week for Pro Motocross, SMX, and we're even working on plans to carry them into WSX and Australian SX (we might have a very busy "off-season")

Pit Bits is the best!

Getting some details on the real factory bikes in MXGP would be really cool. Understand that's not easy. Need a sponsor for funding. Start it with an ad and include their logo? 'Motorex MXGP Pit Bits'

Keeps air out of the system/the lever firm. Try it on your front brake, makes a big difference especially with the crappy stock yamaha masters

With the current “implied changes” coming from Feld regarding SX Media…is Pit Bits likely to be a “casualty”?

I had a fairly long discussion with Feld staff at SLC, off the back of there being maybe some ruffled feathers over my comments in the Friday video, and I'm hoping there's a positive light at the end of this tunnel. I'm cautiously optimistic that things will work out, but until I have the new plan in front of me, I'm also not going to plan for everything to be okay.

Well, Michael, it’s like this…

I’ve been addicted to this sport since the late ‘60s. I saw the Webb brothers, my neighbors, bring home DKWs, CZs, Rickmanns, Carabellas and the very first TM/MX/YZs & Elsinores…and I’ve been seeing and enjoying all this sport has to offer since then…including working in this industry and even taking a few racers to Supercrosses and the U.S. & Canadian Nationals…and truly enjoying this sport of ours. I’ve seen a lot.

The point: 

After all these years, you wouldn’t believe how much I enjoy…I much I go looking for…how bitchy I get when I can’t find my…

Pit Bits.

So, this Feld Media Situation is starting to piss me off.

And…no, I’m not kidding.

^^^Can I get an AMEN! 

 

(Though i didn't start until the 70s... )

 

Edit: One of the first times a National came to my area, my mom drove me to the hotel where the teams were staying on the Friday before the race. They had a time slot where they had the bikes out and you could see all the factory bikes. This was when watercooling, Full Floaters, Pro Links, UniTraks were only on factory bikes. Everything about the bikes was hand made, and amazing to me. Pit Bits is my weekly reminder to that day way back when.

Did the same thing in the same era.  Seeing the factory stuff back then that we had only read about in MXA, Cycle News, etc. was intoxicating and addictive.  We need Pit Bits!

I’d bet that if Feld tries to control/manage the moto media coverage, their coverage will be about as interesting as the Feld approved t-shirt and hat stands at the races. AKA, it’ll stink.

Is there a way to protest the proposed changes to Feld without dragging ML or any other moto media under the bus? 

And isn’t Feld making enough of the money from our little sport?

I was kinda shocked how terrible it was. Attended my first SX since I got back into the sport. Detroit so no pit access. Two merch stands, completely boring shirts with the series logos on them and very basic rider merch. Extremely limited options. I came there expecting to light my credit card up, and I ended up buying nothing at all.
