Travis707 Started a new thread Vitard Rumor Mill: Vital MX Has New Owner
6/4/2022 8:22am I’ve heard a rumor that Vital MX has a new owner. Supposedly it’s a co-owner, not a full owner. Heard a couple different things... one is the new co-owner is DC, the other is that it’s someone close to DC. No idea if it’s true but Ping said Vital MX is going in a different direction. When companies “go in...

6/3/2022 10:47am You’ve said yourself that Rumor Mill is called that for a reason... no need to insinuate anything about me personally. I find that insulting and condescending. It’s just what I heard, nothing more, nothing less. You just clicked someone for calling Ping crazy. Maybe you should give yourself a time out LOL. Anyway, I do appreciate the second part of...

Zoom Liked a forum topic Observations From Spain. Stark Test Ride & MXGP...
6/1/2022 9:14am Well, I can't say anything about the Stark test ride until June 10.... Toured the Stark factory and was quite impressed. Spent some time in Barcelona and loved it! Then over to Madrid for MXGP. Getting my credentials was one of the most unusual experiences ever. We set the GPS to the address for the track and when we arrive its a high end shopping mall! As we are walking into the mall, there are a couple of people walking out of the mall with snowboards and wearing snowboard gear complete with helmets! We go into the mall and head...

5/31/2022 10:06am They already have a TV deal in place with a subscription streaming option with MAVtv and NBC. Even though there are only a couple races on NBC I doubt any sponsors would want to give that up for youtube. Plus I am sure the production crew has an existing deal in place for the season, which would be hard to get out of.

5/31/2022 10:06am Kart clubs in the UK provide live-streaming as part of their service - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMGL5hwS1nk .... to drivers. So live streaming isn't particularly expensive. That club meeting has around 150 entries paying £60ish. The club, including practise fees, isn't taking in much more than £15,000-20,000 You can add a few bells and whistles if you want (well known commentators and maybe a few more cameras) but the base cost of it could probably be covered by the entry fees alone if you wanted to go that way. It's really the fact that there's a demand to watch motocross, and thus it's...

5/31/2022 10:05am Unless live revenue is massively different, it’s much much less than you’ve posted in revenue. I believe most of the financial benefit for livestreams is for individual content creators that do chat windows and have users donate, similar to Twitch. To gain revenue from YouTube directly, there will need to be ad breaks. And if we’re going off what most people would consider to be acceptable (every 15-20mins)…my guess is you’d only be seeing around $2,000-$10,000 ish off that 255,000 ish views. There’s a ton of factors to YouTube revenue such as did those 255k skip through the stream much...

5/30/2022 7:50am They wont nearly make as much money on YouTube vs their own service. Now is it possible? Yes it is as we’ve seen. Youtube has decent data compression that lets people even with slower connections be able to watch a live stream and not have it look like shit. Is it likely? No, because $$$.

5/29/2022 4:00pm Well, unfortunately the MavTV debut was a bit rocky, to put it politely. It’s great that they put it on Facebook and YouTube and were able to salvage the day. I paid for MavTV+ so I could watch on my PC, didn’t know about the YouTube stream so watched on Facebook but it had all the commercials and the video...

5/28/2022 5:35pm We were moving around some boxes in the basement recently and I found a box that my mom had packed up from years ago..stuff from when I was a kid and teenager. In there was this autograph from one of my first hero’s as a kid. I had watched Jo Jo when I was a kid may times in the expert class here in New England. He was my favorite rider by far..his speed and strength on a tracks like Southwick was amazing to me. I got this autograph sticker at a National at Southwick. I don’t know what the...

5/13/2022 3:23pm Something interesting that Kenny said on Weege’s podcast relating to his health was that he took a lot of antibiotics and now his immune system is not great... shingles, EBV, Covid. It’s one thing after another. Antibiotics can absolutely destroy gut health which in turn results in a weak immune system and a whole bunch of issues can result. I...

5/9/2022 4:47pm Took this van everywhere as a kid from regionals to AMA AX and now it’s been able to get me to sx a couple times. By the way it’s also been my Dads daily driver back in forth for work the whole time too. This is at a regional back in 2016. Vans almost at 500,000 now. Just a little back story on it.
