Shootout has been lame for a long time. It won't be missed.

Shootout needs real bouncers back. But I expdct they could never have enough purse for it to be worth while. Make it or break it is expensive.

Agreed on real bouncers and real U4 "cars" on real point and shoot obstacles. While watching the trail rigs is fun, it's just not the same.

while the announcers were trash, it was the only thing i watched. I thought it was cool seeing some of the trail rigs try it. The course either last year or year before that the rzr blasted was kinda gay. They should have left it at backdoor.

Agreed all around. Once it left Backdoor, it wasn't the same anymore.

They just need a live feed of backdoor every evening lol.

King of the Hammers announced a new free app for all things KOH. Search "King of the Hammers 2024" on your devices App Store.

Also the YouTube coverage will be as it has been in the past.

Free coverage on King of the Hammers YouTube channel with whatever camera they pick and occasional, full screen commercials.

Premium/PPV coverage on King of the Hammers YouTube channel with multiple cameras to choose from and less commercials (shown in small screen). Click "Join" and give payment info. It's $25.99 a month, but just cancel before 30 days and you'll only pay for a single month/30 days.

I look at the $25.99 spent for a week of viewing as cheap considering all their $ and effort into broadcasting the race. Plus I've spent $25.99 on much dumber things before

There is a Premium option for YouTube ($25 bucks per 30 days, but I plan to cancel my subscription next week) that has zero commercials and tons of camera options.

What a race!

Agreed. If someone doesn't have all day to watch the 4400 race (which I'd still recommend anyway), watch the last 1-1.5 hours of it. Straight up drama for the last 30-50 miles.

Very broken Canned Ham at that. He went from finishing 1st physically to 8th overall after penalties.

There is tons of drama within that if someone wants me to go into it.

I saw it all in the comments on the live feed during the race, but to me it is impressive either way!
