Just watched the races. It was pretty good I was entertained. The track definitely looked pretty sketchy in a lot of parts, the first corner, the whoops, the finish line everybody kept casing. The track builders definitely dont have it all figured out yet. That being said I enjoyed watching the racing. They really should have started the series after the nationals, then everybody wins imo. Instead you have this one race now and then after mx you have the rest. Either way good day of racing with red bud having some guys come back in 450, some rookies in 250 and wsx to round it out.

This is the 3rd wsx round , and all 3 have had horrible first corners ,  im not sure why they continue on the path of short start straights and flat corners ,  unless it’s actually part of the plan to crate kaos with the 3 heat format

Shame it was on at the exact same time as Red Bud but I really enjoyed it, looking forward to rnd 2. (I watched Red Bud on the TV live and had WSX going on the ipad)

I don't care who won. It's a second-rate series with marginal talent. Freise won a moto? Sheesh. Red Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuud!

1 things I thought was goofy, is AMA Motocross had a off weekend last week and WSX decided to do their opener this week as opposed to last week? Just maybe I would’ve watched the WSX race when there was no other race dirt bike race to watch…

I just watched a replay on YouTube and a few of the races were cut off with just the WSX logo over the screen. Not sure if that's how it was for the actual broadcast but it felt pretty bootleg. Hope they're just working out the kinks.

I recorder it and watching it just now. It’s not the best, maybe be pretty good if attending it live, but is pretty shit viewing. If you were t a fan of the sport and started watching it, I think you would turn over pretty quick.  
 

I hope it finds its place, but from what I see it’s no where near an elite series.

They always have dodgy 1st corners. The worst was the Melbourne aus x open in 2019. The 1 jett made his debut. It was a long straight images.jpeg-1 1.jpg?VersionId=DVr9ss3P1OORX.uGscnyxcL9UDsaF5

None of the Aussie open or the Nz open first  corners were any better either

Watched the ama stuff first because premier series etc etc. Skipped through it because it was boring and there was alot of racing to catch today. Figured wsx be the same and with low expectations it was actually a great Watch. Schedule should hit the off weekends in motocross so people can double dip and so I don't spend half the day watching races haha

 

*And it's available on free to air TV without all the weirdo ama glitches

I was entertained by the event but I think the pace is too frenetic. 

I say drop the heat races, qualify by practice and super pole only and then do standard triple crown style, alternating between the 250 and 450 class. 

I get what they were trying to do and I commend them but the short sprints don't allow for much to unpack on the track. It also doesn't allow for much coverage through the pack.

None of their scheduling makes sense. I agree with you and now we have what, like 2 months until round 2? I should have more money than the people organizing this.

Okay, watching the YouTube stream right now... I'm not sure how I feel about the helmetless parade wheelies. Grinning

I know they're gonna be fine but it just seems weird to me.

NO WAY Jeff Emig just called Deano out on his fake accent! Grinning

I thought that was just a schizo VitalMX forum take.

The running order graphic during the race is far superior than the Peacock garbage that covers 1/4 of the screen. Also, the lack of picture in picture shots with blue bullshit in the background was refreshing. Just show the race.

How? Theres 0 time info on it and it only shows 1-10. 

0 lap times

0 rider gaps

I guess personally for me, the flag emoji next to their name doesn't make up for actual race info...

Good point. Replace the flag with a time and it's good to go, less is more. IDGAF who's in 22nd.

Okay, they took some of the worst parts of our Sx broadcast and made their own version of it? I just want to watch sport. Why do they keep trying to implement these educational lessons into SX? This thing is fuckin' doomed.

Watching the YouTube stream, 3 or 4 races and they kept the static screen on and you missed the first 4-5 laps!! I guess between the track, the announcing and showing all the races it can’t get worse. Only way to go is up.

You beat me to it! I was about to say, their stream is just showing a WSX logo with Ralph screaming in the background. And people thought MAVTV was bad...
