It's nice to see a viable contender, but I tried watching the replay yesterday and just couldn't get interested. I'm not sure what the series is lacking (star power, probably,) but something about it looks amateur. 

Let's hope they make the show better and better as they gain experience.

I don't want to see WSX fail, but it definitely needs some work.  The audio production was terrible.  Distance to first turn was too short, and the turn was too tight, needs more space.  I thought the 3 races in-a-row format was odd, maybe the US triple crown formats are better for the fans?  I wonder what the riders think about that. I think just the existence of WSX has helped increase the payout of US based series and income of riders this year, not just a coincidence.

Wish I could ride like a fish out of water. lol I thought all of the passes he made were pretty exciting. He clearly really really wanted to win which was cool.

Ken was a fish out of water for sure. He has no comp. I don't care what anyone else thinks, WSX is 3rd wheel right now and I hope it fails.

Yeah they are getting paid well until the people bankrolling the whole thing realize they are wasting their money on a losing proposition. It really pisses me off that they attempt to do this during our nationals. Go up against our SX series and see how your series fairs Screw WSX!
