July 28th, 2008 at 11:45 am

July 28th, 2008 at 5:01 pm
anyone knows wtha is going on with Grant Langston? When he will race again?
July 28th, 2008 at 5:21 pm
I agree with Tman. The ads suck!! Please change your format. If you have to have them, put them elsewhere (whether it is xgames or anything else!!). If these things keep popping up, I will be forced to view that other site (I cannot remember the name, but I think it has an “X” in it). Other than that the new site looks cool. Keep up the good work!!
July 28th, 2008 at 5:34 pm
yeah this new format sucks, and i’m tired of watching ads when i try to view the content here also… i recommend the following

ive never seen any of these ads you guys are talking about? oh well sounds like I’m lucky.
July 28th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
quit suckin up just cause ur picture won.. a five year old could of taken a pic better than that.. and if this website got any damn slower my computer would be in reverse
July 28th, 2008 at 8:50 pm
The new format is terrible. If something isnt broken why fix it, especially when you make it worse.
July 28th, 2008 at 9:10 pm
I dont like the new format that much either. Cant we make the pics full size?
July 28th, 2008 at 9:36 pm
Maybe it’s your computer or your ISP connection. The site is a bit slower than before but it’s still fast overall for me.
July 28th, 2008 at 9:36 pm
Quit your bitching. the contest wasnt about taking a picture anyways, sorry i had a picture that actually had me in it and wasnt one i found on the internet.
July 28th, 2008 at 10:27 pm
This is rubbish - sort it out guys. It was slow before now it is unbearable!
July 28th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
The new layout sucks, and top it off with those retarded ads makes me not want to visit this site
July 28th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
Get rid of these stupid ads, this new site is a complete joke.
July 28th, 2008 at 11:10 pm
I can’t believe they said the site was slow because of how “stoked” everyone was over the new format.
July 28th, 2008 at 11:29 pm
thats a lame picture to choose for the winner!
July 29th, 2008 at 1:38 am
Spent 10 minutes and still couldn’t get to see the kickstart, but got twice that f*** stupid X-games commercial…
Everything’s slow and confusing, it just plain suuuuuuuuucks!
July 29th, 2008 at 3:41 am
WTF with this new layout? It’s slow, slow and slow!
And this fu… ad!!! Please remove it!
July 29th, 2008 at 4:55 am
The new layout sucks! At first I thought it looked great, but there is no point if it’s really slow and has 6,000 advertisements.
MXA is where it’s at: http://www.motocrossactionmag.com - Old website but with tons of interesting, easy to access info!
July 29th, 2008 at 6:28 am
Brutal, this site was great now it just sucks. I can’t load picks and that damn X-Games commercial…. RacerX here I come
July 29th, 2008 at 6:42 am
I’m all for improving sites but these adds have got to go. At least let us skip them and get to the page we want. Not much of a fun of the new layout. The old site was great! Why the change?
July 29th, 2008 at 9:11 am
Why “fix” if it’s not broken. The old site worked really well for years because it was good.
This new site isn’t that we’re not use to it, it’s because it is inefficient and not very user-friendly. The old layout and style was SOOOOO much better.
Oh well, there’s 2 other really good MX media companies to go to if the site isn’t changed soon.
July 29th, 2008 at 9:16 am
Kinda funny that one dude would make a bunch of different names just to bash the site. It’s not hard to use buddy. The ad goes away, and the kickstart comes up. I don’t know what you’re talking about with the “slow” part… it goes just fine for me.
July 29th, 2008 at 10:52 am
What was the goal to the revised (website) look? More user friendly? No. More asthetically pleasing? Definetely not. Quick and easy to inderstand UI? Not compared to the last IMO. Increased load times? Much slower. I guess Racerxill.com will move up to the numero uno spot for the time being.
Aside from the fact that I am used to the previous setup it, based off of slower load times, obnoxious font/colors, advertisements, seems like a downgrade in terms of overall look and function. Still love your articles and coverage so keep that up please!
July 29th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
this new site totally sucks ….you can’t even read the captions under the photos learn to leave well enough alone
July 29th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
I really don’t like the new layout. its confusing and slow, and the commercials are stupid
July 29th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
not real down with new layout.
July 29th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
New site is very bad. Too much moving advertising, very slow. Go back to the old site or many of us will not visit this site anymore. FedEx tried the same thing. They were trying to be too clever and ended up losing our business due to new, ultra-slow website. More is not always better.
July 29th, 2008 at 5:03 pm
The new layout is TERRIBLE!!!! I won’t bother coming back until the site is fixed. Good Bye.
July 29th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
This layout sucks. I’m about to go to RacerX for good. Bring back the old layout!
July 29th, 2008 at 5:35 pm
This website went from the best in motocross to the worst overnight with the new layout. Very disappointed and hopefully changes will be made.
July 29th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
this pic won because the kid who enetered it is the one who fliped his bike in the background
July 29th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
i think the new layout is sick
July 29th, 2008 at 7:11 pm
From the best Motocross web site in the world to the most non user friendly web site in the world ??? Please change this back ASAP !!
Im sure I talk for all over 40s on this subject.
If your user numbers don’t drop I will EAT MY SPROCKET….
July 29th, 2008 at 7:12 pm
I hope you did not pay for someone to put this site together…
July 29th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
I agree that the new lay out is terrible!!
July 29th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
If you think that this layout is better than the old one then something is very wrong with you and you are about to findout how many people are still visting this website.
July 29th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
I cannot believe you guys changed this site, surely someone is reading all of these comments and will go back to the user friendly format. These ads have got to go, I have read all the comments and there is not one compliment. Get with it TWMX. Racer X has a great site that is easy to use if anyone is looking to skip the crap.
July 29th, 2008 at 11:54 pm
There is too much going on and pages take too long to load. Get rid of the all of the Flash features and get back to jpegs.
July 30th, 2008 at 12:54 am
This site bee-lows now…
July 30th, 2008 at 3:27 am
How i can save the pictures ?
July 30th, 2008 at 9:25 am
Sorry to see this change… not user friendly at all.
takes ages to upload things, and I’m not evoking the ads that are pretty obnoxious.
Seems like a few people agree on this, changes are not always good. I hate to say it but if it doesn’t get better… you’ll feel the decrease!
good luck and keep up the good work… the previous one.
July 30th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
what isnt user friendly about this site? is it really hard for you guys to use or what?
July 30th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
I dont like having to wait for those ads to play, it takes long enough for the pics to load. plus I think the old style was just better looking. this new format is kinda plain. dispite the changes all the pics and vids are top notch, still the best MX website Iv been to.
July 31st, 2008 at 12:00 am
It’s as fast as a MS-DOS program…
July 31st, 2008 at 4:58 pm
whoever designed this new website layout, please trade them for an old yellow dog and then shoot the dog ,
thank you
July 31st, 2008 at 7:41 pm
Can’t say I like your new web site. Those X games ads need a re think, what is the message, better higher a real agency.
Site is dissapointing….sorry. I will come back for a while but you need to re think or I and many others will stop.
Love your MAG, I subscribe.

when the old stile site come back? this one is orrible… please.
August 3rd, 2008 at 3:55 pm
The average user has a computer that is at least a little outdated.
The savvy designer would have taken that into account.
This site IS in fact slower than the previous design.
If the average user complains, as they are now, will TWMX tell ‘em to “F-OFF!” ???
OR will they do the right thing?
Based on the user responses, this IS broke.
Please, listen.
Please, fix it.

Image #24 was picked as the winner.

This Kickstart seemed very dull in lamence terms. I do and I don’t like the layout of the new site. And your bike test videos seem faded compared to Motocross.com.

grace site.
