Love it so much this the competition format I prefer, so much adrenaline and show!
4X Protour was appealing me for a while since I can't really access dedicated tracks near my location. This is a sign, I may attend some of them and avoid this beauty to get covered by dust :

The UCI sucks massively.
Think it's good that 4Xrs have their own independent races.
Enduro /EWS does ok workout the UCI.... I'm sure DH could follow suit without any impact on the sport.... It may even be a blessing. The series could go where it wanted without any of the UCI money grabbing and politics being involved.
I might go and spectate at a few of these, especially the Santa event.... Some good riding around that area!
I have very little interest in snowboarding and board X has got me so stoked, 4X could be the same for people outside our sport, and would make an amazing Olympic sport (not that that would ever happen. But a guy can dream).
f*ck the UCI. Make 4X great again.
Some races where already streamed in 2017. Check 4cross.eu/livestreams
Appologies and commiserations to those of you with no sense of humour
