Yep, I said it and I meant it....never has it been easier or cheaper to watch the races LIVE every Saturday night.
$5 freakin' dollars a month is amazing, that's about a $1-$1.25 for 3 hours of entertainment.
Some of ya'll just need to find something to bitch about each week....
Also, spare me the "it was free" crap, paying $100+ per month for some crappy TV package is not FREE.
Just had to get that off my chest.
Commence the downvotes.

I don’t have any problems with crew. Do the producers and control-room folks need to use more P-n-P and develop better timing with their “features”? Uh, yes!
But, outside of that? I’m good.
"I love your mom" was meant to be dismissive of your post, not an insult to your mother. My condolences on your loss, that's a difficult thing to go through.

Some of ya'll are actually delusional enough to think that we are on a level with those sports and will get the same resources allocated that they do.
We are only a few years removed from the promoters PAYING to have it on TV, keep that in mind.
Is the coverage better or worse than when Magoo was racing?
Maybe we need a sub-forum just for you guys who want to constantly bitch about the TV coverage because there are threads on it Every. Single. Week.
If some of ya'll are such TV Production experts then put in a fucking bid to do it and show us just how good you are.
Guys on here clowning on RC for his commentary probably get camera shy when someone starts filming at a family birthday party....
The way I see it, we're lucky to even have a way to watch it Live every week. As important as we think it is, SX/MX is pretty frickin' small time in the world of sports.
If you love the 11th-13th place battle, as the stadium is freaking out about lead changes.
The beef everyone shares..... interrupting the races with last weeks BS or someones interview or birthday celebration etc etc etc.
Stay on the racing...that's all we're saying.
Every round in HD and live
I have no problem with paying for peacock and watching every qualifying session and night show
Pit Row
Drives me nuts…call the race…
Mountain bike, snowboarding, bmx would all be considered smaller than our sport, and they don’t have any issues with coverage. We’d be better off with RACEday Live.
Thought that was pretty obvious but I guess some folks need the obvious pointed out to them.
Glad I could help you to understand better, have a good day.
Totally agree. It was especially bad this last week as it seemed you would constantly hear the crowd going off in the background on something other than what the director was showing us. They may have set a record for missing the action. For those of you that were at Seattle and saw the broadcast ... was that the case or was there some off track stuff going on that was setting off the crowd?
Anyone recall when we would heap praise on the director / crew of the Canada outdoor series for their ability to instantly find every battle on the track yet still keep focus on the leaders? It can be done.
Televised sports may be all about 'selling soap' as they say but you still want to capture as much of the action / experience as possible. Even if the only goal is to up your ad rates.
