Can someone tell me why Vegas is not live this year? This is such a let down.

Well why do they show Daytona then? I would want to see Vegas over Daytona any day.

Daytona is part of a bike week package.


Oh, and who's supposedly a primary shareholder of SPEED?


Oh yeah.... NASCAR... the owners of Daytona

I thought they did a great job last year with the live broadcast. There was a lot less downtime. SX this year is even better paced. Sucks it won't be live.

Ya I know why they show Daytona but Vegas is the best race of the year and they wont even show it live? I think thats so disappointing to the fans.

I agree..The hosts bullshit alot...its almost obvious as if they were stalling...Like he say "we should see reed pounding some seroius laps comming up in just a few minutes"Then like 5 commercials and an hour passes buy and theyre barely starting the race...Im not even exaggerating on live races it takes about an hour of talk before they start the race!!!

Not only is Vegas not live, but the CBS SX wrap up show is airing before the actual race is.

Exactly...the level of riding has gone down and so has the audience...last year there was serious competition between real pros, ricky and james... Now the pros are just mediocre,reed and windam not to say that their not good but they dont compare to the action that carmichael and stewart brought to the sport...SPEED,BUMPING,FALLING,PASSING,BAR TO BARJUMPS...

Bet there are more motorcycle owners than race car owners! More MX races every weekend than car races! More MX competitors every weekend than car racing. Personally the outdoor series is more fun to watch.
