Why is this? It has been on live for quite a few years now. I guess BMW test drive and Livin the Low Life is much more important to watch on a Saturday night when there is the East/West shootout as well as the title beiong decided at this race in the big bike class. Come on Speed pull your head out and give us what we all want....

I know, it's really a crock. Reed's point lead is only 10. And the way he's hurt now and always falling down, anything could happen. I hope Windham takes it.

And I hope he decides at the last minute to ride the outdoors this summer. Stewart, Reed and Langston are always hurt and are always falling down, so anything could happen in that series too.

The east/west race would have been cool, too. None of those guys seem to like each other. Finally, things are changing and we'll have some hungry guys coming up to the big ranks in a few.

This is the SUPERBOWL of SUPERCROSS What is the deal here? angry

You guys announced that it would be live last week and now you decide to pull it for lame programming. What a disappointment.

I pay good money for this channel just for this kind of event... I must be stupid if I continue to do so after such stupid decisions on your part.

OH, I HAVE AN IDEA MAYBE I SHOULD JUST WAIT A MONTH OR TWO FOR THE VIDEO TO COME OUT.

This is total crap!!! Every year I have everyone over to watch, this goes way back to Pay Per View years! Why is it canceled and will it be available pay perview? This programming decision is just stupid and has pissed many viewers off especially after you announced it would be on LIVE!!!

I hate to say it, but maybe it's because there's a live stock car race on Saturday evening? red face

It does seem strange, as much as they've been hyping the finale, that they aren't doing a live show.

No there isn't. I'm east coast, BMW Test Drive at 10pm; Unique Whiffs at 11... The race will be starting 10:30 my time. They could have shown it.

This is an outrage. The the whole reason that I purchase the Speed channel is to watch motorcycle coverage and now we can't even watch what we want and pay for. Do away with some of the countless NASCAR coverage shows and worthless things we don't want to see rerun after rerun and give us more Motocross and Supercross coverage.

i am pretty pissed to say the least. i have people over to watch it as well. I am so sick of all the crap they have on Speed. I pay good money to be able to watch motorcycle racing and F1 and the last race of the year we get shafted as usual. Its like showing Race1 for World Superbike then showing race 2, 3 days later. WTF???????

Not to jack the thread but, did you guys have to purchase a higher tier of cable or dish to get SPEED? I did and it's the only reason I purchased the higher tier. This IS disgusting. It seems that SPEED is going the way of Mtv. Maybe in a couple of years there will be NO racing on SPEED and only reality shows....

Good comparison to MTV, that's exactly what happened. I see the same thing with Speed. Nothing but reality show crap.

I have upgraded packages for years to get Speed. I still cant believe that Livin the Low Life and Unique Whips trumps the Las Vegas Supercross. What a joke. I check a few times a day to see if the schedule changes to no avail. How could those shows get more ratings than a live Supercross broadcast. I just cant see it happening, but i could be wrong I guess. i wonder how the Outdoor Nationals will play out. A three week delay?????

Not to Jack up the thread but Speed has done another # on my Log-on.............42 billon messages AGAIN !!!

Speed only does 4 wheels considering that everyone will eventually have to go to Two wheels in the future at the price of gas !

Zoot and Anderson, Joe...I'll give you a running commentary if you want my # cool smirk (Hope I'm sitting next to Ben)Mums the word..... wink

WTF!!!! I am outraged that Las Vegas Super Cross won't be aired. All my kid has talked about all week was Kevin Windam winning it all. I had the whole night planned pizza, sodas, snacks. he was all excited to stay up late to watch the race. YOU SUCK SPEED!!! excaim
