I suppose it was innevitible with redbull paying for all this live feed business, sad though

will spectators be allowed to film?

Did anyone watch any DirtTV coverage before?
RB's live feeds have been about the best way to view it for the last couple of years... Before that it was freecaster...

TBH Dirt aren't exactly a professional media outfit are they. They barely keep their website updated...

Things seem to be getting a bit more competitive and polished in the world of online MTB coverage and I don't really think they can keep up with it all, For an MTB magazine focussed on DH and "Gravity fed" type riding securing permission to film at WC events should be bread and butter...

The facts are that Red Bull own the media rights to the series and thus have restricted our access, only film crews associated with teams are able to film on the hill.

...We will also be following the [U]Dirt[/U] Orange World Team at some events...

They are co-sponsors of a team... What am I missing here?
