My DVR caught the Sumpter National Enduro last night. If you are number 2A on a Husky I saw you on there. It was really good coverage and even has Mark Hyde chasing the pro riders through the woods. I think there is even an extra hour of coverage of the amateur ranks. I fell asleep so not sure on that. Pretty cool that TV is covering our sport.
I will be recording both hours today, I think at 10 and 11 am. I like watching the trials on that channel also, it is a pretty good channel especially in HD.
The second hour is footage of 3 of the amateur classes, 250A, Vet A and one other class. Unfortunatley for me I don't know a soul with that channel.
Arod.. do you recall seeing anyone with TV like cameras at the Alligator? I don't.... Would take Stanley and Livingston and Ho Chi Mihn and Crocodile Dundee to get a camera crew into that one with all the vegatation! BANZAI!!!
I just watched the Cherokee National Enduro and it was awesome. There was a heckuva' contrast between the fast guys and some Husky rider Tim Blanton lol. Tim
I am noticing from the first 2 shows aproponderance of KTM coverage due to the number of them at any event. However, there is soo much coverage of Bergs also. Oh wait.......snap......who owns them? Very one company centric stuff on the amatuer hour portion. Pro hour shows no bias but the ametuer part......
I think that one amateur Husaberg Rider must be related to the camera man. I wish I got that kind of coverage, oh yeah you have to be there to be on TV. I agree there is a lot of coverage on them but I am just glad to see our riding on TV. It can only be good for our sport. It is a shame that the MAV channel is so hard to get for most people.
I'm not sure there's a bias at all just an actual representation of the number of orange bikes amongst us amateurs. They didn't ask or care about my bike brand before using my sd card. Tim
wasnt so much orange as our "swedish cousins" Alot more now but nowhere near the amount of orange. And as Tim pointed out Billy burns being related to camera crew (jokingly) Nice helmet cam shots....I guess they just asked after seeing a helmet cam on you
