So I used to watch fuel tv in highschool all the time they had sick skating shows dope snow and surf too. I get home from college for the summer and now every day its all motorcross or that ellis mania shit. I watch that channel to see skating surfing snow and fuck it even some bmx too. But all i get is like shitty mma shows and motor cross. All I'd like to say is fuck fuel tv fuck it in its stupid ass

I agree with you.
Its hit or miss now. Sometimes they have soon cool skate/bmx/snowboard shit. And as mentioned they did play Red Bull Cold crush but for the most part its gone all downhill.

First off its motocross not motor cross. More fans of motocross than skating so therefore by demand they show it more. MMA is growing so why not take part in advertising it and make money? Its a business not a place to show what SCHOON wants to see.

i still watch it every day about and yeah in the last year it has kinda just sucked. Now i just record my favorite shows, like dany and the dingo, firthand, new pollution and some other. new pollution and first hand are starting to show some skiers so im happy about that.

The whole idea of Fuel TV was to showcase action sports, leave the MMA to spike or some shit.

You are on crazy pills. There are way more skateboarders than there are MOTOcross riders and way more fans of skateboarding than motocross will ever have. God i fucking hate that shit its the dumbest shit. freestyle they all do the same tricks and in a race whoever gets to the lead first is going to win the race. wack ass sport

they play a lot of skiing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, and motocross. Shows like firsthand are popular and now they feature skiers and skateboarders a lot. They televise the whole pro wakeboard tour. a bunch of moto shit and big surf contests. also go on hulu if you don't want to watch the channel on tv. it's all free and when you search "Fuel TV' there was like two moto things showed up and a lot of skating/snowboarding showed

I have the same problem with the SPEED channel. All they have on now is NASCAR shit 24/7. No more of the crazy Lucas Oil Racing pulls, dirt tracks, or baja shit they had before.


Shits weak.

Freestyle is wayyyy different. Your theory for motocross racing for whoever is in first wins is completely false. How about you watch a race and learn before you act like a retard. You my friend are on crazy pills.

Yeah, I've been out at some pretty big sports bars before and they have old skiing comps on and interviews with skiers, usually simon, but still pretty cool.

ya but skaters go out to skate, fat lards who think they are tough like to watch mms then tweet about it to their 2 followers from their T Mobile nexus galaxy smartphone that they only bought because it saves them money so they can buy more potato chips and keep up their 1000+ tv channels that they only watch two of.

If I was a mod I would fucking ban you. I know this thread is old but sweet jesus. Fuel was going downhill and you were like "OMG THATS SO GREAT FOR ACTION SPORTS BEACUSE LIKE MONEY AND STUFF". Look where that got things. Well done.


Seriously should be able to ban people for shit like that.

Never heard of that channel before but is it like zapping over to MTV or TLC in hopes of either hearing some kick-ass music or learning something?

Basically. Back in the day it was all skate/snow/surf/wake and bmx shows and it kicked ass. In the last few years they have transitioned to all motor sports and mma and is now garbage.
