After a lot of commercials early on, that was a heck of a show for the network.

Saw most of the moto without lots of interruptions. Great live moto.

Thanks NBC; Thanks DC/MX Sports. Awesome IMO..

At first I was thinking it was going to be one big commercial, but after it got going it was great! I thought it was much better than CBS.

They should really think about having the 250 class on their next live broadcast.

Yep, the only thing is for the NEWB's to this attraction that tuned in probably still don't know the toughness of the sport...
My neighbor thinks a basketball player hittin' the deck is tough, and I agree that basketball is physically demanding. I tell him that the Basketball guy is a pu$$y - see how he would feel getting thrown off at 50MPH...No sweat mop up boys out on the dirt trackWhistling

I would have enjoyed it if they showed the updated points standings. Unless I blinked and missed it.

OUTSTANDING Job NBC, MX Sports, Alli Sports, and everyone involved.

I thought it was top notch! The live network TV deal is definitely a plus and it was very well put together. I already can't wait until the next round that shows on NBC.


But everything needs improvement and all I ask (like others in this thread already) is to add the 250s in.


Overall, I was very impressed.

NBC did a really great job but the track wasn't the best to grab the attention of a new or non moto fan.

I liked it too. Only one small thing I wish they'd fix is the audio. Bikes seemed to drown out Jason and Bailey. Otherwise, great job over all.

Good broadcast,
I liked the sound of the bikes being a bit louder than usual.

I think they should have RC on full time... He really adds to the commentating and the way he gets excited during the race is fun to listen to as well. But i know that wont happen due to his other commitments. Other than the way too many commercials at first It was an awesome show!!!!

FUCK! I thought it was going to be on speed again, I don't get off work until 5 on saturdays. Good for the sport I guess, but shitty for me. Does anybody have any video?

Man, NBC did a fantastic job of the race and the footage....a little much on the fluff before the second moto but hey it pays the bills and I was stoked to see such good coverage the day of the race! Keep up the good work NBC!

They also did a great job in explaining things so a non moto person could understand it.
