Nice to have two two in the booth looking better but above all nice to have some good insight. What I see is the way all four of them give CR his time to talk. No disrespect to RC but he himself got caught up in the talking over one-another to get their point across which is lost in the mumble of collective words.

When CR talks he's not worried if someone is going to step on his insight, He just keeps on talking his point (which has happened a few times now) while they try to interrupt or finish his point.
Good to see respect in the booth gentlemen, it goes along way with the SX/MX community

Watch out MT MX may be here soon to attack you over your opinion that Reed was good in the booth.

Chad was impressive with the little time he had on air. He was able to add little insights regarding riders during the heat races. Wouldn't hurt to have him do a bit more in the future..

I thought he sounded a little nervous, but still very cool to have him in there and sure he'd get in the swing of it with more practice.

I was hoping he would ask JS a question on his heat race win.

Chad did a great job. I think he has as much insight as any I've heard. He's intellegent, speaks well, sounds good and I would say has the potential to be almost on par w/Bailey.

His trouble last night was two fold;

He's alienated James.

RC and Emig are soo competitive and they all know CR is just a year or two away from lining up full time on their gate. It felt like they were jockying for position.

Make that three fold; all three of their trouble is going to come after 2014 when KW shows them his front wheel.

I loved him in the booth. He was truthful and a natural. He took all questions and elaborated on techniques used to race the track. Plus he knew he could joke around too!

Prolly rght....i think reed has made it clear he wants to do booth stuff and see's it as a valuable marketing arm for the 22 brand and the team, as well as fun.

Also says that RC and Emig are handcuffed in there and if he won't be able to say what he wants, he doesnt want to do it.
