It seems like years since we started the series (2005) and finished it (2008). Oh, yeah is has been. I guess time has gone by and other projects that pay the bills have come up like our work for Lucas Oil (commercials), Feld Motor Sports (Legends of Supercross) and now the two web series for AlliSports (Young Guns and Orange Assault).
To give you a little info on how a show like this gets on the air and stays on the air. Speed picked the show up in 2005 as a "barter" deal. We give them the show for FREE and they give us some commercials for sponsors that we sell to try and pay for production. For a tidbit of mx sponsor trivia. This was Lucas Oil's first major MX sponsorship project.
We did this for the first three seasons making 5,7, and then 9 shows totaling 21. But, it was always a push with Speed that we had to practically beg to keep the show on because the ratings weren't there (they have never had much luck with ANY motorcycle programming).
So since 2008 we have been constantly looking for a network that will take the show without us having to do a "time buy". That's where we pay to produce the show AND pay them to put it on. There is just not the sponsor dollars to do that.
But there may be good news around the corner as we are "discussing" with a network to put the show back on for 2013. With this will come 9-13 new episodes and possibly the re-air of Season 3 since those are in HD. Plus on-going film "passion projects" like our John Penton project and yes...the 1981 MXdN we hope to have in 2013. (Sheesh!-I do want to ride my Yamaha Super Tenere once in a while!)
It will take sponsors to make it happen so if anyone out there knows of some companies that would like to be associated with "The Motocross Files" please let me know.
In the meantime, we will be revamping the web site/store as well as setting up a download program for the other 21 archived shows so stay tuned and always...THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT.
