DaveI Added a reply to Sounds like Dirt Rider Magazine will cease publication...
3/18/2018 8:39pm They were actually very nice about giving me a refund for Dirt Rider. At first I was going to switch to Cycle World but I had no idea it had been switched to 4 issues a year (Which they also told me)...They would have switched me to anything I wanted but after I found that Cycle World only had 4...

DaveI Started a new thread Ya think Roger may wanna talk to Herlings?
8/28/2017 12:12pm Three championships in Europe... Herlings comes here...One day of practice on a bike that is not the "premier" machine... And he destroys our best... 39th to 1st...Don't ever recall seeing that much ever before...1/1 Overall.. Ya think Roger "might" wanna talk to this guy about coming here for next year?

8/26/2017 4:10pm Each entity wants to protect it's turf (control)... But I admit that for the most part American motocross racers do not want to race overseas (with a few exceptions)... This has a lot to do with not much incentive or support for them to do so. I'm sure it works in the reverse as well. Many in Europe may not...

8/26/2017 3:46pm Basically that's what it is... A World Championship would have all the best riders from all over the world...MXGP doesn't have that... It has some of the best riders in the world (mostly from Europe)... As mentioned by another here that's because of territorial sport squabbles between AMA and FIM, etc. A real world Championship would be more like Motocross...

8/26/2017 3:08pm And personally... It would be great to have a little bit of a controversial figure at the head of our sport here in the U.S. again... Instead of Wheaties box nice guys...This guy seems to have an ego big of enough to fit right in here...

8/26/2017 2:34pm Staying in Europe proves your the best there... Not the world...Not arrogance...

8/26/2017 2:31pm He's already proved everything he needs to in Europe... KTM is going to sell in Europe no matter what... They have more to gain here in the U.S. to bring the title back with Herlings... Coming to the U.S. and proving what he can do here would really solidify his legacy...

5/20/2017 5:12pm Ran version 3.2 of the App on my Android Box (Mxq Pro 4k)... Ran very well...Was incredibly crisp for the first motos...Second motos were good but had a little of the motion lines on the riders when fast action happening... I've seen this before and I think it was their digital broadcast... All in all worked very well...For those running...

5/18/2017 9:07pm On and off over the years (past 40 yrs.)...No more MX (56 now)...

5/18/2017 8:54pm HOLY COW!!! Davalos finally got out of grade school...How many years has it been...10 or 11?
DaveI Added a reply to Who is the sports biggest star now?
5/18/2017 8:48pm Man...I cannot believe the number of people here who think Roczen is going to return... The injury he sustained nearly meant his arm needed to be amputated... He has compartment syndrome and they're looking for cadaver (as in dead person) to get muscle from to reconstruct...Even with miraculous surgery and rehab and recovery it would be years before it's even...

5/18/2017 7:06pm So it turns out that 3.2 is the oldest version that will work... Version 3.0 and earlier used a Username instead of email...I tried using my Email but it didn't work in the earlier versions...Looked to see if you could give yourself a username on the website but didn't see any place... So I'm reinstalling version 3.2 which allows network...

5/18/2017 6:19pm I only have a 12MB download connection (1.7MB Up) (I live and ride desert)...I'm on 5.8Ghz wifi link into a mountain Access Point 10 miles away...But I can watch HD movies on my Box no problem...This is the first App that does not work well...I figured it out from another person complain about them having changed the App requiring location...

5/18/2017 6:05pm I found out that only starting with this version of the Android app 3.3 does it require a WiFi connection and Location Services to be turned on....I downloaded version 3.2 and could run that no problem on my ethernet connection with Location Services Off...However it's still buggy... I'm going to try a much older .apk version...

5/18/2017 5:05pm The app is not working so good for me because it forces me to use a wifi connection... Browser and PC is better so I'll probably have to wind up using that.... All of my three TVs are hooked to a Windows 10PC (HDMI). The APP is very buggy...

5/18/2017 4:51pm I had MavTV on DISH two years ago...MavTV sucked...Basically cowboy shows when there's no racing... It only cost $4 a month and you got a couple of fishing channels (Wow) with it as well... I believe DISH dropped MavTV last year..

5/18/2017 4:49pm Again...NBCSN will be showing only half of the second motos (SIX)...You cannot see all of the second motos on NBCSN this year

5/18/2017 4:41pm Clarification for those who do not know... To watch Outdoors this year.... If you have MAVTV...You can watch the first two motos of each round. To watch the second two motos you can watch those on NBCSN...BUT... NBCSN will be broadcasting only 6 of the 12.... So if you have MAVTV and NBCSN you can watch all the first two...
