Ralph and Jeff are the worst announcing team in sports. Do they think all MX fans are retarded, or do they just speak slow cause they're inarticulate rednecks? Do they state the obvious cause they think they have good insight, or just cause they don't really have anything good to offer? And what's with Emig saying J-Law's totally outta the running?? Has he not watched other lites championships? Does he think Stewart's totally out of the running too? I mean, c'mon dude. As for Bates, I wish she'd give up the lame cliches and cheesy borderline awkward interview wrap-ups. But I guess she's less annoying than Krista Voda, so good for her.


And what's with Bates' and pretty much everyone else glorying over Lawrence's bad night? Holy crap that could of happened to anybody, including cRyan lil'dungey and dragons. If people wanna make fun of somebody, I say focus in on Brayton's stick-on eyebrows, those suckers are so nicely plucked and trimmed they guy's definitely gonna pull those two twin 30 second hip-gigglers! Regardless, I'm stoked to see those eyebrows on the podium. Long time due, so good for him and the way he climbed up the moto ladder to penetrate the glass-ceiling.


And what's with wiener Weimer's sand wash? I'm thinking that was all mental, unfortunately. He must of been thinking about other things, like winning, cause that looked like some rookie stuff. I said to my buddies when he got onto FC back in the day, "he'll never do shit". Well, now I'm eating shit. Sucks to be me. Morias riding tight? Damn, he must FLY when he's feelin it. Definitely gotten a lot better over the years, too bad he doesn't have the confidence to expand on that "embarrassing moment". How bad could it be?



And speaking of getting better, holy Chris Blose batman! Dude has a lot of mental strength and I thought it showed in his riding. I didn't notice any mistakes, even when he mad pressure behind him. Definite props to that dude. And no props to the Treynard who grossly over-estimated his skills when he attempted that crazy wack pass. What up Trey? Where was God? lol j/k


And speaking of no props, what's up with Tyler Bowers and where did all his speed and talent go. He had a lot of hype, and even beat Dungey in AX last year... what's goin down? How about Millsaps? Dude looks like he traded in his heart for some HGH doses. And he's still making dubious racing decisions, like that little dive-to-the-inside move on Reed in the heat. That attempt simply eliminated any chance of passing Reed back all together.




But Grant on the other hand, whoa. Whoa. Finally showing his true colours! Dude's the real deal, just like that holeshot, which makes me think "where's that self-proclaimed holeshot master"? Oh yea, he's eating those works for breakfast, and then shitting them all over RV with punk-ass brake-checks for no reason other than revengeful spite. Oh well, kid's never raced forward anyway *rolls eyes* All that said, I'd think the speed broadcast was awesome compared to last year, and I appreciate them showing us a lot of racing rather than other BS. But I think most props should go to Reed, he's riding more amazing than I ever thought he would. Even James believes Reed had more speed!! That's simply AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! peace out

Slow down, think about what you want to type and execute with spacing. If you want people to read your thoughts, don't make it look like a big pile of shit.

I thought the camera angles and coverage was pretty awsome, the camera facing down in the turn was cool.

Bates has strange, but ginormous breasts..... one of her breasts is physically larger than Blubba's entire torso........ strange, and not hot...... oh and..... why do they insist on having her report from the starting line when you can't hear one fucking thing she says??? (maybe that's for the best).....

give me the Canadian announcers... or hell, even the Australian ones.......

the camera angles were the worst EVER...... does every camera guy gotta stand on the stadium floor so that the lower half of ever shot is a tough block?? not enough money to get the camera's up in the stands?? why all the close ups on the bikes during the race so you can't even tell what section they are in??? it's dizzying and looks like crap..... close enough to read the numbers, but far enough away to see upcoming jumps is highly preferred....

i do dig RM from pro circuit..... but i could give a shit less what his favorite cookies.... i doubt he gives a shit what his favorite cookies are..... LOL...... we don't need all the bullshit fluff.... even just a casual fan just wants to see racing (but they are watching more for the crashes than for the actual competition).........

jumping off my soap box now....

and to jump back on it for one more thing.....

the 2 hour block that included both the tiddlers and the big bikes is SOOOOO preferred..... they essentially did that today, i hope they either keep running them back to back, or just go back to having both on the same 2 hr show...... having both back to back keeps viewers on longer.....

Bowers was running really strong actually, by far the fastest non-seeded rider...Then in the heat he was all set to qualify and was right on the pace but he went off the track in the same spot as Canard and unfortunately tweaked his knee a little. He got bucked coming outta the whoops and (obviously) couldn't get on the brakes so he blew the corner. Give him a few more races and he will be mixing it up in the top 10 for sure...

Dang some of the comments.

I guess being a slime bag is the preferred reputation fans want from riders these day's

Some people just don't seem to get the fact that these announcers talk down a bit and explain seemingly obvious shit not because they think we are stupid, but because they have to try to appeal to a wide audience and that includes die hard moto heads and non-moto people alike, in hopes of gaining new viewers and fans. If they talk in strictly moto language most people wouldn't understand what they are talking about and that's not good for new viewers. They do the same thing in many sports, one resident expert and one "straight guy" asking questions about various techniques and such.

Get used to it, it will always be that way because it always has.
