1. How do we watch this?

2. Why is it mostly US riders in the "World" supercross race? Are they going to make allowances for other nations soon as attrition happens?

Are they aiming to have music/FMX and SX all in one night? Seems like they are trying really hard to be like F1. The thing about an F1 race is, the race is the headliner. The weekend is filled with qualifying, club races and events over four days

Anywho - How are we going to watch this?

To answer your second question, it was up to the ten teams to sign who they felt was best. There was no allowances per country.

It’s mostly US because we have the only good SX series. WSX is the US SX leftovers

I went to 2 of the Aus X supercross here in New Zealand and they were amazing. Would go again in a heartbeat.
This isn't for people in the US that can pick from 17 events

Why do you post this picture in every thread concerning WSX. For someone who wants to hate on it you're advertising it a lot.

The only thing that has really annoyed me about this whole WSX things is their “we don’t want to tread on anyones toes” facade. They knew going into this that it would conflict with either the US Supercross Series, the MX Nationals and/or MXGP. They continue to push it as their company line and really, it makes them look desperate… do they expect to convince us they wanted to start a world championship WITHOUT the worlds best? Rather insulting really.

I’m sceptical about the series as a whole, I think this year will be good, but I have doubts as to how it will do in the future when it’s on during the MXGP/National season. That said, Cardiff will be the biggest SX in the UK for 30 years or so, so I’ll be there and I’m looking forward to it

Tickets bought, hotel booked and looking forward to taking in the fumes.
Ding-dongs taking a dump on the event seems weird but then reading through here a bit it seems taking a dump on everything is a default position these days. Grinning

I’ll watch WSX, but as of right now I’m really not excited at all.

I'm excited for it, but only because I'm going to watch it live. A great and rare opportunity for people across the pond to watch some of the best US riders ride SX. So in that sense, this event is awesome

If the 1st round was in Europe somewhere and my only option to watch was TV/Youtube, I don't think I'd be as fussed.

From an outsiders view WSX looks cobbled together, but racing is racing, soooo how/where do we watch it? Binoculars? Got a big pair, good enough to see Jupiter and 4 moons.

To be perfectly blunt... my interest level is about 5. I'm a bit miffed that their end game is to compete head to head with the nationals. Also, this is not a knock on any of the teams/riders....but at least for now, the top cheese ain't really playing.

I do like that they have Fro and Ralph announcing.

As to this comment: "Supposedly a big announcement coming soon with awesome ways to watch worldwide. We will see how that plays out."

I have PTSD after hearing that said about the Nationals this year.

I can't believe they don't have the TV/Streaming info out there yet.
