Last night I had the chance to watch the Swedish FIM Speedway Grand Prix on HD Theatre. It was my first time to see a complete speedway event. What a cool race — the speed, color, action. A very action-packed format with lots of four-man, four-lap heat races, everybody full-on sideways, diving in and out. [...]

FIM launches new website
February 18th, 2009 · No Comments · Events, Industry, Racing
Federation Internationale de Motorcyclisme (FIM) has launched their new website. The old FIM site was rather poor. It was only useful for finding press releases, but it was not regularly updated. My expectations for the new site are low and I will probably still be disappointed. But it has video for highlights. That’s something…

Now you can add crappy content from MotocrossMX1.com to your Facebook page
January 22nd, 2009 · No Comments · Racing
Youthstream announces that effective immediately all the users of MotoCrossMX1.com and SuperMotoS1.com can post the contents, including news and photos, to their Facebook friends. Woohoo. MotocrossMX1.com has some of the worst, most vapid motocross content on the planet. It’s a veritable black hole (and I don’t care what that moron John Wiley Price says, that’s [...]
Part 3 of History of World Motocross Championship sucks
January 11th, 2009 · No Comments · Racing, Vintage
This is pathetic. This History of World Motocross Championship series is a miserable excuse for a history of anything. I don’t know who runs MotoCrossMX1.com, but they should be ashamed to put anything like this up on the site. It’s an embarrassment.
History of the World Motocross Championship
December 24th, 2008 · No Comments · Racing, Vintage
Motocross MX1 is publishing a short series of articles on the History of World Motocross Championship. Part 1 of the series is up now. Parts 2-4 will be published in the next few weeks. If they are as poor as Part 1 there isn’t much point in reading them. Not much history here — there [...]

MediaZone closes Moto channel
October 29th, 2008 · No Comments · Events, Industry, Racing
Last week I got email notification that MediaZone is closing their Moto Channel. This is a big disappointment to me, as I just signed up for a 1-year subscription when I watched the MXdN on live video. MediaZone will refund my subscription fee on a pro-rated basis, but the money isn’t really the problem. I’m [...]
The Battle for world domination: FIM vs. DMG
August 8th, 2008 · No Comments · Politics of Riding, Racing
Two things of note this past week in the world of motocross (three, I guess, but I’m not all that interested in who hired Chad Reed — it was obvious someone would) – Youthstream opens U.S. office in southern California, and CycleNews publishes an interview with FIM president Vito Ippolito confirming the FIM’s intentions to [...]

FreecasterTV to show 2009 FIM MX GPs
August 3rd, 2008 · 1 Comment · Events, Racing
I saw this announcement FIM Motocross and Supermoto Live Online in ’09 on RacerXIll.com today. I haven’t really kept up with the World GP scene and so wasn’t aware that freecaster.tv already have video highlights of all the GPs on online. According to the release: The FIM Motocross World Championship promoter Youthstream and the online [...]
