Spotted what might be an interesting program: NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CHANNEL TODAY 2200 (10PM) EST CRASH SCIENCE - MOTORCYCLES - THE HIGH RISK WORLD OF MOTORCYCLE RACING Additional showings: 2/2 1300 EST 2/3 1400 EST 2/8 1800 EST Jack | ||

I've run my own experiment and come to the conclusion....... Crashing hurts!   | ||

And that program also hurt to some extent. But it did have some interesting historical footage and details, mostly from World SuperBike. The technical info and discussion of the nature and details of going fast were pretty good in the interviews with some legendary riders and technical people from inside the sport. But they kept falling back to this narrator who was technically clueless and reading a script in a dramatic voice intended to get general interest/non-motorcycling viewers excited about what they were seeing. And *way* too much advertising time for the content, seemed like almost 50/50 on ads. I'd give it an overall 6.8 on a scale of 10. Worth watching in the off season. Jack | ||

The "clip repeat ratio" was a bit absurd as well. It's not like it's hard to get enough clips of motorcycle racing accidents to fill up a 60 minute program, geesh. I agree, the people they interviewed were fantastic. Whoever wrote the narrator monologue was a bit shallow in technology though. |
