Suddenly, Every Angle Is Your Best View
You remember seeing those absolutely wild onboard camera shots in MotoGP, right? The ones that made you gasp and wonder how those riders hold it all together? Well, imagine *that* level of intensity, but now it’s coming to the dirt oval, courtesy of GoPro. These cameras are going to be everywhere, snagging those incredible onboard perspectives that put you right in the racer’s helmet. But it’s not just the race action! We’re talking behind-the-scenes content and all the raw, unfiltered race-day drama, spread across every AFT broadcast, digital platform, and social media feed. AMA Pro Racing CEO Gene Crouch nailed it perfectly when he called GoPro “a natural fit” for the sport. And honestly, who could argue? Our sport isn’t for the faint of heart; it screams speed, pure skill, and an intensity that makes pretty much any other form of motorsport look tame. Crouch made it clear this partnership is built to bring fans closer to our incredible athletes and their machines, giving us a whole new way to tell the championship’s story across every platform imaginable. We’re talking a seriously up-close look at the riders, the teams, and those jaw-dropping motorcycles that define this championship. You’re gonna see what it’s like to be deep in the action, the dust flying, the tires digging, the adrenaline absolutely pumping.
