Message: [QUOTE="IndyMX, post: 1255030, member: 71057"] I'll say that they did an OK job on the broadcast. But, I really can't stand listening to Ralph Shaheen talk. He really has no clue. Then Emig. You'd think with his background he'd know what he was talking about, but at times, it seems like he never rode a bike in his life. Then you have the morons in control of the cameras.. When there is obvious good stuff happening on the track, this collection of Mensa Members is showing a replay of the holeshot for the 5th consecutive time. My thinking is no replays of anything until at least the halfway point in the moto. Too much is going on in the early stages, too much chance for someone to get tossed over the bars in a most spectacular way.. I was watching a race last season.. Lites class.. Villipoto ran away with the race. The race was a 3 way race for 2nd. It was down to the last turn. Rather than see that, we got to see Ryan roll the finish line and all the way off the track, while Emig & Shaheen were talking about this excellent racing going on. What really killed me about that incident was that this was on the broadcast of the race 1 week after the fact. They had 7 freakin days to edit it so that we could see the actual racing.. But they choose to show us something that didn't mean squat. It's the choices that the production crew of the races makes that bothers me most. I understand doing a LIVE event is hard. Things happen that the crew can't deal with live. But when they delay the show for even a day, they can do a better job of editing. Just a couple of seasons ago, they'd show both heats, highlights of the LCQ and the main. Now we get to see 45 minutes of interviews, commercials & and highlights. Then we get to see about 15 minutes of actual racing. It's lame. Sorry guys, I still think they suck at doing MX/SX. [/QUOTE]
