I am also not a fan of watching mx on tv but because we are starved of any major events this side of the globe I went to watch the mx gp in sun city (south Africa's Vegas) in 2005 and live was just something else got to see some real classy riding (Stefan everts, cairolli ratray) but still don't watch it on tv
I do watch ex though for a few reasons. Firstly I can relate to it better (similar obstacles to what you see on the trail) and also because it is so unpredictable so easy for a leader to drop the bike. And you just need to watch the pro women to see how tough it is. The pro men give the impression that it is not so tough
BUT i would much rather be riding than watching and I think that is something we can all agree with
