Does anyone know if they are going to streams the CX Nats?

Cxmagazine announced live streaming on FB this morning so I am guessing it’s out there for all to see now

USAC said somewhere that they were going to start streaming around 12:30 EST on Saturday on their youtube and FB feeds. I think CX magazine is doing the same.

But this brings up a chance to have a minor rant over something that's been bugging me all week -- first, USAC has done a terrible job making information available about when they will be streaming it. At first the only mention I could find about it was where USAC responded to someone's comment on an instagram post.

Second, this thing started Tuesday. Why no live streaming all week? And the only recap footage I can find is little 5-10 second clips on CX Magazine, barely anything from USAC other than a few podium shots or finish line clips.

I get it, maybe not everyone wants to watch the masters and and the College club races and stuff, but is it really that much more effort to throw up a live stream of that stuff somewhere?

Compare this to some of the UCI world cup races earlier this season, which were being broadcast live on the Olympic channel (and presumably NBC sports gold).

Anyway it just seems that USAC is putting zero effort into publicizing this or making it accessible.

Harumph. Get off my lawn.

^I understand what you mean; all of the the national championships are ostensibly the showcase for USAC CX. But I think production costs for anything resembling watchable streaming are $$$. So I'd think any streaming would be reserved for elite races.

W/ respect to masters racing, etc., I would think USAC would have a developed social media approach to racing and results, but I haven't checked into it (all I see are FB posts/pictures and straight results).

I'm following this and hope there's good streaming for the elite champs.

Looks like there is going to be a stream.

I think I remember reading that it costs somewhere around $30,000/day to livestream a cx race.

So....

Yes, I think it would really be that much more effort to throw up a livestream of the misc races earlier in the week.

[Lewis Moon]

Too much running.

Looked like the course was was in a stream. :)

It seems they do a decent job on their twitter feed with updates and short videos.

What mud! Good, tough racing. Rooting for Compton later, but any way it goes, it's a win-win. Imagine Keough especially is getting running legs ready, and Ellen is revving up. Among other great racers.

Hyde seemed strong at NBX, but maybe someone's got a card up their sleeve?

[Gummee]

I raced enough mud races this year that I'm very very glad I'm not there racing.

Ugh

USA Cycling YouTube steam is working well.

Good commentating by the team.

Great race. Man the river coming off the power washers was brutal.
Sunny weather... Ifyaknowwhatimean...

JFC !!!!

Epic ride for Sunny

Feel bad for ‘Becca

That was a great race - I was pullin' for Ellen but it just wasn't her day. And speaking of not her day - what happened with Katie Keough? I was shocked to never see her in contention.

[Bruce K]

Katie Keough was never in it from the start. Neither was McFaddin

Tough conditions that seemed to suit the power folks and the long legged runners

Awesome performance by the women!

That was almost not fun to watch. I mean we all like mud and muck in cyclocross but that was just ridiculous. It was like watching the entire race in slow motion :D

..which is why I was very very glad I wasn't there.

I DID see some of one of the local shop's team in the crowd during the women's race. Bikenetics' stuff stands out with the pink and green!

I agree. I did want to go but was too out of shape. Plus I was sick as a dog this weekend. But yea that just would have been no fun.

Listening to the broadcast, Shimano brought some Moots bikes as spares for people who couldn't bring multiple bikes.

I checked his Instagram and it appears he's been racing on them for a while. Colorado guy.

[JStonebarger]

We were lucky enough to be there all week. An excellent course, dry(ish) and wet.

[JStonebarger]

Oh, and the streaming went all day and for the most part the coverage was very good.
