I'm with ya. This coverage is terrible. From their press release... "We are very proud of the broadcast and digital package we've put together for this season, both for the television audience and online viewers,” said MX Sports Pro Racing President Davey Coombs.

Are you sure about that? This is a JOKE! haha Clown show is what it is. Amateur hour, etc. You name it...

Kind of harsh, I am sure this was never anyones intent. I am as pissed as anyone but I will survive. I thought we were doing OK when we were watching the womans moto and it ended just before it was completed. I am sad but I will not shit on someone who has tried to take the sport forward.

I dont know if DC even knew about this in regards to how they were going to stream the second motos only to a list of certain providers(which most of us do not use).
This may also have came as a surprise to him just as it has to most of us.
From the sounds of the PR - it sounds like he thought we were going to get the same type of coverage as the first motos.
Hopefully our outcries can get something changed though.

Im not shitting on DC, I feel honored that he takes the time to even read this board, let alone the hard work he puts into MX.

However at the end of the day, he runs the show so its his problem.

He will respond the same way he always does. Make an opening statement about how great everything is, make a faint apology that things aren't perfect, then an excuse about how difficult motocross is to cover, followed by a comment on how far we have come and that we should just be glad to view the motos at all.

No mention in the pre-race about the lack of online coverage internationally. No mention that US viewers need an approved cable provider from some random list to view online. Bait and switch.

You guys do know you aren't obligated to streams as fans of the sport?
Be happy with what you have or just start reading magazines like the old days.

It was hyped as being different than last year. I guess that was true... last year was better. At least I didn't go into last year thinking I was going to watch two motos only to find out only a few oddball tv subscriptions would be on the list.

you start a thread titled "F*uck you DC" and then you say you are not shitting on him?

I'm watching the live feed, at the end of the day, it sounds like your problem.

The fans of this sport want progression. I am not a fan of calling DC out, but this was a disaster for the fans. When there is issues, DC tends to fix them and I have faith he will do it again

Exactly.
Myself and many others have dedicated this window to watching live moto because we are super-fans...
I could have been doing lots of other things... but I was promised live streaming moto...

"F*CK U DC !!!!"

Ummmm...

I believe this was talked about before, no one said it was all 4 motos free for international viewers, in fact, they said we wouldn't get the last two...

And again, i'm sure DC and co worked their asses off to get it done, but international tv law is a little stronger than a (few million at best) mx fans opinions

Im just venting my frustration level.

Its not personal, its just business.

DC promised international live streaming of both motos.

There is NOT international streaming of both motos.


Its DC's problem.

Fuck you, some people don't have more than one provider.

And DC did a shit job or providing the proper intel. Sure he's busy, but I bet he ain't to busy to cash the checks at the end of the day.

Then move to the place the series is held, wait for it to air sometime or somewhere else or simple shut up.
Coming on here and saying F DC helps nobody. I dont mind you being upset but make an appropriate title.

So I suppose you think I should "be happy" if my $7k brand new 4stroke doesn't start when it gets hot, I should "be happy" if my $35k Silverado has crank windows, and I should "be happy" w/ dial up internet, phones w/ cords, rocks for wheels, etc. It's called progression numb nuts. I don't think it's too much to expect. I, for one, think we all deserve it.

Shit...
MXSports actually pays big money to get these races put online & on TV.
I would assume they didnt want to pay for this headache. Smile
Hopefully,with these outcries something get's done to simplify it for ALL & gives access to ALL.

I am watching it live on Allisports.

When I am in europe, none of my USA streaming works, not netflix or any of my cable providers. I blame DC as well.

We usually have no problem watching the Alli Stream. (unlike you in Europe watching mainstream us streaming stuff)



Clearly they have changed some settings, somewhere.

AND they even went as far as providing a dedicated link for the internationals and that didnt work..

DC's runs the show.
