It is not closed minded. It is your SKYTV limitation. They carry CBS and Supercross comes on CBS sometimes, but why don't they carry NBC sports? They carry ESPN, but why not FuelTV or Speed TV? They carry Parliament TV as well as French 24 why not NBC SPORTS, Fuel or Speed? They carry other American channels like Nick Jr...

Ok, before you blame Roczen perhaps like some other reasons. People keep saying he looks like a different rider. But to me it looks like a different bike. Perhaps Roczen could do this on a Suzuki but is more difficult to do on the KTM. It is easy to blame the rider but if he is doing this on the...

I feel for you, but that is hardly a problem that DC or anyone in America an fix. You can find some reruns or even live links on the internet. That is all they can do for you. Realize a lot of people in America have access to these channels and complain. They just don't want to pay for it...

Some motocross tracks are getting better. I have seen some local tracks have pretty good amenities. But for a pro AMA track, they should have pool for the kids, mist sparyers for when it is hot, big outdoor monitors to see the action. Huge outdoor general admission tents with food beer and tables (yes, make some money off the people)...

My point was, they have hard core people like me that will pay just about any amount no matter how brutal it is. If they want to attract a larger audience like supercross does, they have to start appealing to not just the hard core. I have been been to more AMA Nationals than you have. LOL I went to...

I am hard core and go to every outdoors I can make, this year it was Hangtown and Colorado. But it is brutal for women and children without shade, easy access to food, and poor toilets. I was hovering under an umbrella at Colorado waiting for the race to start, because I am hard core. My wife would never come...

Don't buy the tickets, watch it on TV and taking him to dinner afterwards. Vote with your wallet. Realize that when you do this if turn out is low, TV coverage may get cut back. The way I see it. I don't mind the ticket prices at SX because it is a comfortable location, you can see all the action...

You can manage to do all sorts of unnatural things. But interface design, whether it be for a computer, a car, or a bike. Making the process is as close to natural and instinctual to do unnatural things like skimming the whoops.

Why? You assume just because you watch American mx, Americans would be interested in European mx? I had a German foreign exchange student come here and we became friends. We rode the Calif highway one, seen all the sites in Vegas, went to the mountains in Co and stayed in NY. He went on to see a number of other...

To me at the crucial point, the lapper was in front of Bagget and he quickly disposed of him. Previous to that, Roczen was happy to follow whatever line the lapper was running. Why didn't he take a different line? It wouldn't have mattered anyway, even if that lapper was not there, you would see that Bagget was flying.

They have Cox in Nevada and Fuel and NBCSports is available. Motocross will continue whether the people in this post complaining watch it or not. If motocross was really in demand then people would all get direct TV and have the channels, But they don't, they would rather complain. If there was some real effort to having to watch motocross...

If he was paid a lot better I think he would. Would you move to America for a huge cut in salary? Would I move to Britain for a huge cut in salary. But if it was a huge increase, both of us would consider it even if it was temporary for a few years. But it does seem like...

I have Direct TV. It recorded the first and second moto of the 450. It did not record the 250 which is the one I really wanted to see. They will rebroadcast it tomorrow on Fuel and the DVR is set to record those but the DRV has been recording on Fuel, but this time just didn't and it is...

And this shows that there are advantages to either way and that people can adjust. But I think with any interface you try to make it as natural as possible. I do not know the psychology of it all but when a person is heading toward an object their tendency is not to reach forward to and grab a brake...

Yes, you must play by the laws the people have set up. Even on your own property you must abide by city/county/state rules. If you don't they have the means to shut you down. The problem playing by the rules is it usually costs money. But if the place is bringing in a lot of money it should not be...

I ride on the balls of my feet and my size 11 feet are no where close to the brake this help keep my foot from dangling and catching the ground or on the trails a rock or root, also prevents my foot being turned backwards in injuring my knee. I have to pick up my foot and move to...

One of the reasons I bought my recluse clutch is because in tight trails, trying to use the clutch and the front brake wears your arms out. Also on the track having to grab the clutch so I wouldn't kill the engine coming into a corner would get tiring as well. Some people say not using the clutch out of...
