DUDE, I thought ok who is making these. They desperately need to change it entirely. Even just RAW clips with some commentary.

So the rawness of pro motocross, the heat, the amount of riders blasting off the gate into the first turn, the fact they gotta do 2, 30min plus 2 laps for race day, show clips of dudes absolutely whooped right after the motos, like the clips of them under the tents behind the podiums. Jumps, yard sales, alllllll the shit. Not some lame song with the words DANGEROUS & SHOW TIME across the screen. Hahah.. maybe the intro should allow the newer fan to get an idea of what their about to watch?

Lol.. maybes it’s just an intro & we’re over thinking it.. but I feel like if I was showing someone motocross & that intro came up, I’d be like “don’t mind that intro, that was gay.. dare I say CRINGE!!!”

lol..


Something, anything, would be better than what they played for the intro. Haha it’s BAD.

Honest question... do people consider a rider's nationality when watching a race (outside of MXDN)? It's an interesting observation that all of the riders who are hurt are American, but a rider's home country has no influence whatsoever on who I'm going to root for. 

Sandman's comment just got me wondering. Would someone cheer for a rider (who they otherwise do not like) just because he's the last American with a chance to win? I certainly wouldn't.

I don't care where a rider is from. In today's world, it's all about nationality unfortunately.

Heck yeah.  My first moto heros were Roger, Joel, John Banks.  I was chuffed when our boys started givin' what they'd been gettin' but I never once gave a shit about what flag a hot shoe saluted.  Except for those damn Rooskies. 🙃

Honestly, outdoors RDL isn’t worth the time to watch. They’ve got to find an alternative to AC and JB like supercross RDL, but for outdoors because this format sucks as a race fan. The UI is useless, the fluff and status updates don’t matter, and somehow, we always miss the fast laps and heaters while they show someone rolling around the track.

Maybe I'm a dummy but I thought James was hot on that mic today.  I mean spot on.

If you are watching on a computer look at 23:20 to 23:35. Some Deegan Prado drama?

What happened?
