Thanks ESPN for disabling embedding of all your FMX videos and getting even tighter on your RSS news feed.. Not much point posting just the first 5 words from your news stories... The ESPN FMX news forum has been removed, this works both ways, I'm not sending them anymore more of my traffic either... I hate corporate, advertising filled, bland arse, boring websites anyways... I'm sick of seeing Leyba's face on top of every single news story... He is starting to look evil the more I see it!! lol Hows about abit more thought goes into your site design?? Anyways thanks ESPN, we only ever took a few lines of your stories and sent the reader to your site anyway, its not like we stole the whole story... As for vid's we always credited & linked back to ESPN but meh, the fat cat's I guess need to make more of that advertising dollar...

Rock on Red Bull & X-Fighters, Freerider, Metal Mulisha, Crusty, Nitro and everyone else that shares, atleast you share and help grow the sport!! ESPN can suck on my exhaust pipe...

No, they didn't do it just to us, nobody can embed their vids anymore, they just quietly disabled it.. The RSS feed is a joke, it was bad enough pulling only the first few lines but now it seems they limited to like the first 10 words LOL

Guess they figure they couldn't force advertising down our throats unless they forced everyone to the ESPN site to watch and read.. I guess they need to make more money...
