    early to say best ever... 2011 will be tough to beat. It is definitely exciting to see how things get shaken up and how close the top 5 are.

    Tight racing. Different winners. Reminds me of 84-85 seasons. Not lapping up to 7th place. Exciting for sure. Tracks make for difficult passing but that's sx.

    Millsaps is making it exciting to watch. He has stepped it up in a big way.

    Yeah for sure. Now I want to see Reed, Short, and Canard all get a win.

    Canard! That dude is a beast just for being out there again. When he's on, there's no one more fun to watch IMO

    Yeah that was one ugly crash last season. The guy is always upbeat no matter what goes wrong.

    Re: 2013 SX season - maybe best ever

    watched it yesterday. i cant say i have any favorites in the series but theres something about Reed that i cant stand. i have respect for him doing it almost entirely himself but id be lying if i didnt cheer a little when he fell.
    i still think that JS7's injury is the best thing to happen to him. hes riding smart and consistent. he needs a win to really be in the hunt.

    Re: 2013 SX season - maybe best ever

    went to watch last weeks race yesterday and immediately noticed something was up. it only recorded 2 hours. so i start watching. 250 heat 1, 250 heat 2, 250 LCQ, then 250 main, then "thanks for joining us" and arena cross started. WTF!? did they not show the 450 race on speed?

    Go to your settings and under channels, set it to record on all channels. Your welcome

    That being said, mine did not record last weekends race either, but I do have record on all channels settings. Sounds like it was an exciting race!

    I know that I have to have two different searches on my DVR set up to catch the races that are on SPEED and the races that are on CBS. There is something different about the way they title the races in the program guide that makes it miss one or the other unless you have both set up. I'll try to remember to look through my settings and see how I have it set up and then post it here.

    Last weeks race was pretty good, couple of things that were sketchy with flags and taking advantage of a rider being concious of the flags (apparently passing under waving yellows is fully allowed in AMA Supercross...............'poto started "racing" before Stewart did after the red cross flag where Stewart was having a little more respect for the track workers/fallen rider, AMA deemed it perfectly ok and 'poto would have eventually gotten by him anyways but I thought it was a cheap move on 'poto's part) but nonetheless a good/entertaining race to watch. I'm not a fan of the fact that trailing riders can use a medical flag as well as waving yellow zones to catch up to a rider that was a decent ways ahead of them on the track. Not sure how to avoid it but not a fan.

    Good to see Reed coming around now that he has his old forks back on the bike. I would like to see Dungey get back in the mix up front. What happened with Canard? He was flying earlier this season but lately he hasn't been doing so well. Never thought I would say that I am glad Stewart is making a go of it and seemingly getting stronger every race but it is great to see him out there battling. It is definitely a different type of season where anyone of the riders in the top 6-8 could potentially win on any given night.

    I liked Canard's "wrong way driver" trick lol. He's the nicest guy in the game so I hope he can get up front. Reed looked damn good aside from that washout.

    Re: 2013 SX season - maybe best ever

    Took a look at the searches I have saved on my DVR and I have Supercross and Motocross saved. I realized that for some reason those aren't catching the live broadcasts on SPEED and I have to manually add them in every week. I'll have to figure it out at some point but that is what I have. Good luck!

    Great season. AMA pro allows passing under yellow. Close situation though in St. Louis with the med flag.

    This is why. i never seem to catch it on CBS to see what they title it. its same reason i cant record WRC. its titled as "auto racing" on SPEED, which cood be anything from NASCAR to rolex series, austrailian V8 supercars to WRC. id end up with 80 hrs recorded.....70 of which would be NASCAR

    i think SPEED actually lists it as AMA supercross or something
