A recently conducted telephone poll (that was unfortunately incomplete due to a dead battery) produced the following results:
In the survey of approx 500,000 motorcycle enthusiast worldwide:
Number of enthusiast that knew a MX National was taking place at Hangtown = 100,000
Number of MX enthusiast that would choose to go ride instead of watching others ride = 470,000
Number that actually attended Hangtown = 20,000
Number that sat at home on a beautiful weekend to watch live action via Internet or TV = 10,000
Number that witnessed excellent live first moto coverage = 10,000
Number that realized 2nd motos were not going to be streamed and decided to get off their asses and go do something worthwhile on a Saturday = 9,970
Number that threw shitfits and proceeded to light up Internet message boards and claim DC is a piece of shit intent on ruining the sport of MX and sabotaged the broadcast on purpose by running down his cellphone battery by watching too much porn = 30
Number that believe "heads should fly over this fiasco" = 30
Percentage of those 30 who are members of Vital MX = 100%
Conclusion - you bitchers need to get off the energy drinks and relax

The Shop
Do like the other 499,970 in the survey n go out n do something instead of sitting around
The point is average MX customers are more easily upset to feel like cash cows, especially since the youthstream hold up (or the french MX licence, $350/+20% a year for nothing, as you must pay the track entry too) and here the provider question was just like putting oil on fire. After some difficulties to see the first 2 races (international link needed...), I was even not surprised that it was not working anymore as I am like the black cloud for this broadcasting company/conglomerate. I will not going into details but everything I used to watch had to be fixed so ... I started to think that the magic was back
Back to the Youthstream example: so far I was paying $200 a year to access a few. channels mainly to get motors tv, which as everybody know is also broadcasting the MX GP. About 1 week before the GP season starts, motors tv got cancelled without notice from this offer, and Motors TV signed an exclusity agreement with only 1 provider in France. What do I do? Do I have to pay like 3 months the cable channels before the direct debit stops, so $50, then pay another $180 mainly to Luongo & friends? In other words should I pay 15% more that season while I lose about 20 channels? Thanks technology, it brings progress to people, which is why I decided not to pay anything.
On a more general note, that is why people tend to be upset more easily; each piece of the economy is a scam, for instance now fridges or LED screens last 5 years, or never bring a car for maintenance if you do not know personally the guy who will work on it.
chance of rain.
It didn't rain Friday.
Who do I see about that?
Is that Coombs fault also?
I had no problems streaming all four motos yesterday.
Thanks DC
Not Davey's fault.....and i am sure he is as bummed as us that the motos didn't get delivered to the majority of us. He'll make it right.
I think it's time for a change. life goes on.
