<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>BUT what i'm afraid of, is it being like lets saaaaaaaaaaaaaay....
The Ozzborns... i LOVE metal/rock whatever you want to call it..
How many times on that show have you seen Ozzy in concert?
All i'm saying is if the show is like that, i will be disapointed... it needs to center around Moto GP and Nicks life THERE...not at home with the rest of the sister fuckers and pig farmers..sure a bit of that is fine, but not all home life and just a mension that "OH HE RACES MOTORCYCLES"... you know what i mean?
I can certainly see your skepticism here but here is my thoughts on that. Nicky isn't braindead from two decades of alcohol and drug abuse (no offense any Ozzy fans). Outside the track there isn't any drama for him, he's a relatively humble guy and very focused at the track. Tommy, Roger, Rose and the sisters don't make it to many races and Sqiurrel is relatively normal so there really isn't the crazy family angle. MTV HAS to rely on racing drama, there isn't any else in Hayden's life.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Some members have been called "Spinster", MTV will show you how to do it. Denver had the "Real World" for a few months, and people that met the cast said all the drama was instigated by the film crew. This could hurt Hayden/motogp!
This is definitely a concern but I don't think it'll be a problem. It's not as if the film crew could instigate a fight between Hayden and say, Pete Benson or Squirrel. Nicky has a pretty good relationship with his team and no film crew is going to shake that. I could see MTV trying to spin something of a Nicky vs. Pedrosa feud or something but I don't think HRC are going to allow anything serious as far as filming in the garage. As bad as MTV are with reality television and conflict creation, I think they may have their hands tied as far as creating friction in the Honda garage or even the entire paddock. I'd be surprised if any other team allows the cameras near their team, truck or riders but if what Katt said is true about Dorna being involved, MTV might be able to work something in their favor.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>ya but to bad USA just try to see how much money they can make like things like "formula Drift" in USA. Coporation in USA always try to take it over the top only thing that not good. but even tho I hate hayden Im sure I will watch it haha
sorry hard for me to explain in english but I read this and this is what I really ment on a news website
"There's good publicity and bad publicity, and this one will fall into the later in no amount of time at the hands of the MTV crew. You can almost see this spun as a Biker Boyz/Torque remake, USA vs the world. Once the contract is signed, the Hayden's will discover that they have to put out X amount of wheelies, Y amount of stoppies, and Z amount of burnouts. We alreaady have an example with SpeedTV and their Superbikes! show. Of all their episodes, only one was spent on the road racing scene, the rest was on hooligan riding. Remember, this is coming from a network dedicated to the promotion of motorsports racing, you can imagine what a teeny bopper network will do with it."
Defintely another worrisome issue, especially considering this is MTV. But I think it will be alright. MTV isn't airing this to show fans Nicky going fast or doing tricks, they're hoping the life of a MotoGP rider is as exciting as the racing is and that the off-track rivalries are as fierce as they are on-track. Nicky might do an extra wheelie each session so the cameras have something to shoot for a commercial but nothing too crazy. Certainly no more than Valentino's wheelie parades (don't take that the wrong way guys, I enjoy watching). When it comes down to it, HRC own Hayden, not MTV. If MTV starts complaining about Hayden being too dull on the track the message will come down from someone, be it Hayden, Benson or HRC themselves and it will be as simple as this: "Get stuffed."
