Here is a little help for the riders on the podium that have seem to fallen into the rut of not physically being able to thank the sponsor "I Can't thank all the guys at..." or the other extreme, and unfortunately ran out of time and "Can't thank X-Sponsor enough" Since all of the guys on the podium are way faster than myself, and I will never be on the podium, here are a few other phrases that you can use. And if you are on the box every week...Yes, you actually can thank them enough.

Optional Thank Phrases for Podium Use:

I would like to thank...(this phrase alone solves most of the issues stated above, if you need more continue reading below)

Thanks to all of the crew at...
Much thanks to...
I would like to take a moment to thank...
Give thanks to...
Shout out to...
I am grateful for...

Fortunately I have a lot of talented people behind the scenes...

X and X have been Vital to the team...

I would like to tip my Flat Brim to all of the fine people at...

Helmets off to my sponsors...

Thanks for paying my bills and contributing to my 401K...


What else?

Just leave religion out of it. I can't wait for some Devil worshipper to podium and thank The Man Below Satan my dark lord for helping me lay waste to the rest of the field. Or how about a muslim winner who thanks allah and screams "I want a Clark bar I want a Clark bar, aye aye aye aye ya ya death to the infidels"

But their grammar would also be incorrect if they said "Vital" and "Flat Brim" with capital letters like you suggested. These guys are motocross racers, not english majors. Who cares if the sentence structure is off. Sponsors give them $, they give a speech and we hear the sponsors name. If it bothers you that much, DVR it and fast forward through the podium interview.

I love Marvin's interviews - long winded and he actually says relevant things.

I'd like to hear them say "I can't thank anyone because it was pretty much all me."

Wow. It always amazes me at what some people get their panties in a wad about. . . It's maybe 5 words in a podium interview that just cuts straight to the core and you can't get past.

I would like to hear a rider start quoting scripture on the podium just to watch people like you have a melt down.

I usually fast forward through the podium speeches to get back to the racing faster. I guess some people watch the race to criticize how other people speek.

I know its seems like a small gripe. I wished they would either throw the speach out the window and talk straight from their brains or if they feel like a more structured aproach, put a little effort into sounding a bit more professional. some of the guys do a good job, others are a bit painful to watch.

Could anyone explain why someone and a lot of folks in the mx industry say this... "Yeah. No"

Mike you were really pushing those last two laps for the podium spot. " Yeah, no it was good, been putting in work and its paying off"

I don't get it.

Dude if you were behind me I feel bad for you, these dunlops were crankin out some serious roost and got me a killer holeshot!

When I came around and was passin all those lappers my Oakley air brakes worked flawlessly.

If you have time checkout my go pro video from the first moto, they uploaded it at vitalmx, it showed the 2 chicks fighting in turn 1

Also if you have time this week a couple of us will be on pulpmx.

Thx for spending your Saturday with us!

I can't thank you enough for posting this thread.

You guys think it's bad that MX riders say it, but it's really annoying when several companies/corporations use it. Because I see it used a lot in press releases/statements.

1. Ignore Georgia's question

2. Grab the mic from her

3. In a rock star voice say "thank you Tennesseeeeeeee!!!!"

4. Mean mug Deegan style into the camera

5. Drop mic and walk away
