I wasn't a fan of that comment. Get this guy out of the booth, he has no place in moto.

He adds NOTHING to the broadcast. I'm tired of the word "towuff" coming out of his mouth every other sentence. Horrible.
x3 - all I kept thinking was STFU and let Emig talk more.

"Did Bestwick just say that?" I have no idea which of his inane statements you're referring to, because there are many. Just wish he'd get out of the booth.

You guys that sit eagerly waiting at Bestwick's gloryhole need to get a clue.

Why is he even broadcasting? Theyve had him on in years past as well. He makes bold statements and acts like he knows what ues talking about. The broadcasts go better with just jw and je.

There's some truth for you!
if you're talking outdoors........Dungey is now tied with Bubba. It was also mentioned in Moto 1 on Allisports that the # of races Dungey has raced in the 450 class he has more points then RC had at the same point.

There's a difference of opinion for you. I thought Miller was awesome, his humour and intellect added to the show. Now, with any kind of luck, this won't start a huge Vital pissin' contest.

LOL. Miller SNL weekend update and his analogies did crack me up. Most of the pissing contest people probably won't know Miller anyway.

F'n idiot, makes certain riders and our sport look stupid. How do you grow a sport when a guy like this sits on national TV and bags on our riders. He said stupid shit about Malcom in a race also. Whether its true or not, it makes moto have a negative outlook.
Wow, Jamie Bestwick tell's a few home truth's and suddenly he is making our sport look stupid??

So James wasn't stupid in impersonating a Police Officer?

Malcolm wasn't lazy in sitting on his arse in the middle of the track at Budds Creek?, and taking an age to get back up!

Bestwick tells it like it is, like him or not, he add's his own perspective to the Nationals and isn't another industry/media yes man!

Its all just a giant conspiracy to generate more threads like this hence increasing traffic and benefit to the advertisers, such as the Verizon 4G Spectrum ad I am seeing in the sidebar as I type this. Maybe Verizon is behind it?

Seriously, for a guy that is viewed as a know-nothing douche bag by the majority of posters in this thread, the more interesting question is why are you even paying attention to the dribble coming out of his mouth?

Most of you need to grow a sack and stfu and let the truth be known.

Dungey has only been a 450 Pro since 2010. This will be his 3rd season. How many wins and championships does Dungey have in the 450 class compared to Stewart's first 3 years? There's a little truth for everyone too.
And how many wins and championships would RD have if he had been racing RC his first three years in the 450 class? Just asking what you think.

Either way, it's a shame that people will try to step on James' record. BTW, I like RD as a rider and he seems like a good kid too.

JS only rode against RC for 2 full seasons (05' and 06'). I figure RD would have about as many championships against RC as JS did. Typical though, you read into posts what you want. Noone was stepping on Stewart's record. I guess you think it's fair to compare total win records when one guy has only been in the 450s less than 3 years and the other has been in since 05'? I'm just asking what part of my example you find unfair.

It is kind of scary to think I would rather have Ralph in the booth instead of Bestwick. Bestwick just doesn't add anything to the broadcast.

it's not surprising that there are 3 pages discussing what a commentator said, hell, there were multiple threads about Ricky Carmichael's over sized jacket during supercross.

wtf is wrong with this place

I think Emig can not spit the words out but he knows moto (probably smoked to many) but Raphy and Bestwick do not know anything about motocross. Bring back the Goat or Bailey maybe one of the other 70 to 80's guys.

You people need to realize that as the super-duper hardcore moto enthusiasts that you are, you represent about .05% of the proverbial slice of pie. the other 99.95% can benefit from his diction and sentence structure. Hell, some of you could, too.



I don;t think the issue here is what he SAYS. The issue is with his street credibility with vital fan-tards. Period.

I'm sure it was awkward in the booth, considering that, in 1999, Emig got caught with pot when he was a factory Kawasaki rider. He subsequently lost his factory ride.

Bestwick is an absolute abomination. He adds nothing of value, his accent is annoying, and his insight is nonexistent.

He got caught with a ton of weed, a big ol' bong, a 12 pack of beer, sitting on the bridge in Lake Havasu completely stoned and drunk.

I don't hold it against him though. There are football players getting arrested for quadruple homicides right now.

I'm not holding it against him. I'm just saying, it's pretty silly of Bestwick to say that in his company, considering his run in the law was much more serious and hurt his image tremendously. It just further proves that he has no business being in the booth with those guys, he is clueless.

My theory is silence, I actually tried to listen for a while, but at one point during the broadcast there was about 15 seconds of dead air only the bikes in the background. As soon as they started talking again I just hit the old mute button. Wow what a difference! Think I am going to re-stencil my DTV remote to say moto instead of mute!

I'm just asking what part of my example you find unfair.
For one total wins include 250MX,450MX,450SX not just 450 class, Ur right he did lose to RC in 05,06,07 MX and in 2005,06 SX. Do you forget that Stewart won the 2006 WORLD SX title over RC, and that in RC's 2007 season he said over and over im training like I do for a whole year and James won 5 of the 7 Races Ricky rode what do say to that. The only reason I say this is because and I quote "Typical though, you read into posts what you want" Practice what you preach buddy.

BTW: I like Dungey more than Bubba. But I am sick to death of all these retards claiming they know shit about MX belittling Bubba at every corner. He crashes way to much but everyone and there bro knows Bubba is the fastest SX rider of all time by a country mile. Not the Greatest, the FASTEST.

bestwick is getting better and i think he does a pretty good job, people should give him a chance and show some respect for a multi time xgames gold medal winner.

the best in the world at what he does is nothing to sneeze at.

not one of you spermbeards ripping on him can even come close to that...unless it has to do with spermbearding of course. Smile

And i bet Emig cares allot less about it then all the Vitards do.
