What is up with Grant Langston? In 450 moto1 when he was talking about Roczen catching up to Dungey on points he mistakenly said that Dungey got the hole shot and was checking out. When in fact Dungey crossed the line in 3rd and had movedto 2nd.

Then Langston starts talking about Tickle being a Michigan local and growing up riding around here. Wtf tickle is from NC.

All joking aside, I think Weege, Langston and Georgia are a dream team. They are awesome.

They do a good job, but Canadian announcers are best ever.

You never bothered to say where "here" is in your two posts. I guess nobody is perfect.

He made a mistake while announcing live? Fire him, get his ass outta there, and replace him with mjr119, mjr119 no doubt would do a better job and be a great addition to the team. edit...i'm totally giving you shit here, not serious at all.

Langston is the only one in the booth I can stand. Langston is fair to all the riders and teams, and he doesn't give a shit if they bro down with him or not...

Tickle is from Michigan BTW....

Tickles bio lists him as being born in Wilmington North Carolina. As an amateur his residence was always listed as Cary North Carolina. I believe he moved after marrying a Monster girl who is from Michigan.

"Hometown" it seems can be interchangeable to mean where you live or where you were born depending on who is using the term.

Nickname: The Tickler WoohooWoohooWoohoo

Yea I like him too. He's like an x-boxer commentating during a fight. He's been there, done it. The Canadian announcers are pretty cool. They seem really passionate about the racing but they are overly biased toward the home boys. I like the World Superbike series announcers also.

Weege nailed the "lobster bisque" when talking about Barcia's back-to-back wins. Well done.

I think Langston is such a cool dude but I hate his announcing. I will get attacked for saying that but he's always cutting off Weigandt and is just unpolished imo. Again one of the nicest dudes in the pits but just would like someone who is smoother at commentating.

I don't know if they're the best but they sure are entertaining. They may have a bias toward Canadian riders but I've always thought they threw tons of respect to all the foreign guys as well.

No mention of Emig yet...he was my favorite, but Langston is OK too. I also like RC in the booth, esp with Emig.

Dave despain has a radio voice. And face for television. So easy to watch him talk about basket weaving championships.

Someone please tell Georgia to stop moving her dam arm trying to be expressive. Drives me up the wall watching her report things. LOL
