You would think with World SX on the horizon and seeing what they have to offer and what they’re trying to do, that MX Sports would make this as easy on the consumer as possible. Especially with a small sport like this. I love the nationals, always have but if this shit continues I hope they go belly up and if they do, it’ll be their own fault.
I wrote this on DC’s Instagram and he deleted it “What you’ve done with the streaming for Pro Motocross this year is an absolute joke and a gut punch to all of the hardcore viewers you have/had. With World SX on the horizon and what they’re trying to pull off, this isn’t the time to be screwing over the people who bend over backwards to support you and this sport. Plain and simple, do better.”
The Shop
So if you didn’t cancel MAV after the first few rounds, here’s what you do, based on my understanding.
1. Cancel your MAVTV service after Washougal on July 23rd, as that’s the last round before the switch.
2. Use the code to get FLO for $6.99/mo. You’ll only need it for two months, so the rest of the nationals will run you $14.
3. Cancel after the last round, and hope they don’t fuck us with a $30/mo. subscription next year.
The series overall has gotten worse in the last 10 years... Or at the very least not in any way better. Here's a few questions that always come up: Why do pros still have to pay an entry fee? Why are purses so low? Why has there been no change to cc limits (why does Matt Burkeen have to race the 450 class...)? Why does the race schedule criss-cross the country?
I don't know why I thought this sport would see an uplift at the professional level with all of the sold out dealers and crowded local tracks for the past couple years. Seems there's a massive disconnect between the consumers and the powers that be. Follow the money, I guess?
The outdoors are dying a slow death. Based on how it's been ran... It is well deserved.
How long til Vital MX max+ comes out?
In other news we still have the snapchat map, hopefully this link works:

It has reviews from only a couple days ago all of which indicate Flo is a huge scam that charges you even if you cancel. Here's a sample:
"I have to agree with everyone else so far and also wish I had looked into this further....I wanted to watch the **** *********** wrestling tournament as my husband is a high school coach - since March 25th all I've been doing is dealing with this company to get back a portion of the yearly fee - since I too, thought I was ordering a monthly subscription that I could cancel at the end of the month- nope...they charged the full year of $150."
Pit Row
So cancelling subscription and then signing up again next year is clunky and not something I wish to do. All the other app subscriptions we’ve had in the past for Moto were reasonable, Flo is not.
The only reasonable solution is to have a 2 wheel option for Flo. Subscribers would pay for that portion only. Pretty standard stuff for streaming apps. Not sure why this is difficult.
You're butthurt because a thread was pinned at the top of the board for a kid that received a bunch of help from Vital members and I noticed you haven't let that go.
The TV production of our sport has literally jumped the rails and has caught on fire. DC is silent. No answers from anyone but stupid robo-emails from MAV that has us all going for 10 pages with confusion and anger.
Moto-media? Snooze.
DC isn't hard to find. This is a small industry so they all know one another. Hell, DC OWNS part of the moto media. Why can nobody call him up and say "Hey, let's talk about everything" and create a video segment with actual questions that require answers and publish for the community?
Yeah, I know they're all buddies and don't want to hurt one another's feelings....but I've said for years that if a particular media outlet would get some stones and ask actual questions and deliver real NEWS, they'd be the go-to source for information for the consumers (All of us).
Yes, oftentimes we are told "Well, if we piss off the riders, factories, owners....we'll get no further access" and I'm sure that might be true. HOWEVER, if Vital (for example) was the go-to source for the majority of the moto public, the industry itself would have to play ball with Vital to reach their consumers.
I just have never understood how we have major news in our industry and the one portion of our world that crawls under a rock and vanishes is the media itself.
Rant over.
I don’t really understand the outrage now that we’ve learned it will be the same price.
“It’s been quite the journey thus far, but like with anything new you have to expect some growing pains,” said Davey Coombs, President, MX Sports Pro Racing. “Our audience has certainly shown a tremendous amount of patience as we’ve worked alongside MAVTV to address the issues and concerns involving live streaming. We cannot thank them enough for their commitment and their willingness to be honest with us. With the new partnership and establishment of ‘MAVTV on FloRacing,’ MAVTV has helped provide the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship with a new home for mobile viewing with a proven track record to showcase the rest of what has been a truly memorable 50th anniversary season. We sincerely hope our fans continue to lend their support, which is invaluable to the success of the championship, and understand this is the most effective solution for the series moving forward to ensure we’re servicing our viewers both here in the U.S. and around the world.”
He is a nice guy that is probably more upset and frustrated than any of us can be. I hope this all works out for them because the outdoors are truly amazing.
