I remember as a young boy, when I was still living at home with my parents in Sydney, Australia, waiting eagerly at the letter box for a white envelope to arrive with the AMA logo on it.

As my father owned a motorcycle magazine at the time (1970s) and also worked for a lot of the leading magazines in Australia and the AMA results came in handy for stories.

What is amazing, and rather normal back then, the letter with the results would take six weeks to arrive and that was the first we would know who won a major race in America, or any other motorcycle race in the world.

The excitement of opening the letter and seeing my hero, Marty Smith had won, or maybe Bob Hannah. Or maybe who won the Daytona 200 road racing event. Yes, times have changed.

Last weekends round of the World Supercross Championship, held in Argentina was a big event, despite the series struggling along somewhat. I just wonder if supercross is a worldwide sport, because it seems outside of France and Australia, its hard to make a supercross event a success. But that is a story for another time.

Many websites, MXlarge included had reports and images from the WSX online, minutes after each race. The whole world checked in and surprisingly, I guess because of the 450 debut of Haiden Deegan, our figured for Saturday and Sunday were as high, or higher than that of a normal GP or AMA motocross event.

WSX played their part by supplying a lot of information and images, not to mention, a live stream. Now, while the stream didn't work for a little while, eventually it did and we could do our report and put it out to the world.

When I speak of english speaking media, it isn’t hard to look at some of the worlds best websites, like RacerX, Vitalmx, Pulpmx, Gypsy Tales, Swapmoto, Motocross Action, MXGP.com, Gatedrop, Cultmoto, Dirthub, or our own website, mxlarge (some will say MXlarge is more Ausglish, with a touch of Dutch).

Media sure has moved on since those white letter days when I was a kid and as somebody who has owned mxlarge for 25 years and worked for most of the leading magazines around the world for 35 years (before I owned mxlarge), I don’t think the coverage of our sport has ever been any better.

America has always been something of a leader in the world of motocross websites, and it isn’t a surprise. Back in the day, Cycle News and Motocross Action were without doubt the best magazines in the sport, and while England had Dirt Bike Rider, Trials and Motocross News, or France with Motoverte and a long list of top MX magazines. RacerX came along and nothing could compete with it.

With magazines slowly dying off and very few top magazines left on the magazine bookshelves, websites have really turned it up when it comes to coverage.

As owner of MXlarge, I don’t know a time when the Grand Prix or AMA race reports have been out quicker and with such a huge range of podcasts, interviews and galleries within all these leading websites, its just exciting to open your computer or mobile every morning. Huge help from the media who work for the teams and supply us brilliant press releases and images.

When you consider that I have only mentioned English websites, you also have to remember, countries like France, Germany, Italy, Spain, The Netherlands, Belgium, and so many other leading motocross countries also have numerous websites.

Media like Pascal Haudiquert, Ray Archer, Massimo Zanzani and myself (Geoff Meyer) have been around the sport for around 50 years and all four work for a variety of media around the world.

The young guns Andy McKinstry and Jonathan McCready from Gatedrop and Cultmoto trio Chris, Rob (sorry guys, don't know your second names) and Edward Heather have joined the already stacked media room and continue to make sure the sport gets the coverage it needs. Or something of a young veteran, Arno van den Brink from MXvice and Motocrossplanet.nl. Arno is also heavily involved with the Dutch Masters and many other MX events.

Add names like Paul Malin, who doesn’t just work for MXGP in commentary, but also writes stories for international media. We have the new kid (big kid) on the block, Ben Rumbold, who has also been around the sport since he was a little boy, works for MXGP and some British media.

We also have photographers in huge numbers, Juan Pablo Acevedo, who also owns MX1onboard website in Spain. MX1onboard is also a website with a number of regulars in the MXGP media room, Xavi Francés de Andrés and Santiago Crevoisier being two of those.

Eva Szabadfi and Julie Cogis, who both work for teams, Fullspectrum and other media sources around Europe. Bavo Swijgers, the owner of Fullspectrum also works for teams, but also supplies images around the world. German Ralph Marzahn, who owns mxnews-online.com in Germany is also a regular in the media room.

Nikki Malin and David Bulmer, who work for Yamaha and Honda and of course, the guys from MXGP, who run the press room, Anthony Andreu and his team. The list goes on and on and many of these media attend every single Grand Prix and then a lot of other races around Europe.

When I say the sport is in good hands, it isn’t difficult to see when we have so many hard-working media and I as owner of MXlarge am thankful for all their help so many of these people give our website, to make it the longest running and most successful website in motocross in Europe.

Believe me, when I say that thanks to internet, and websites like the ones I have mentioned above, the sport is in better hands than ever and while we might miss the brilliance of Jack Burnicles or Alex Hodgkinson, the two best media ever from Grand Prix motocross, we still have a stack of talented people making sure MXGP looks good.
