Has Ronnie Mac gone too far and become too vulgar?

Well, I voted I don't care.

If he's looking to get AMA or GP points, along with a factory salary from Honda, yes, he's gone too far.

But, if he's looking to make a living outside "The Industry", no.
And I don't blame him. He has to make a living. If Renthal won't pay him, it sure looks like Pabst Blue Ribbon will.

No, it looks like the farthest you can go is with sex.
Even that can be perilous if you want to stay in the let's keep it clean crowd.

The Mitch Payton and DD vid comes to mind.
I remember being surprised they put that out.
Even tho you see just as much, if not more, on a trip to the beach, I knew the PC Patrol would jump on it, which they did, Funny as heck it wasLaughing .


Just Joshin'. But I agree. Sex sells and all he really does is talk about sex which nearly every comedian does in their skits. I think he's pretty funny. Especially his straight rhythm interviews. I was rollin' when they interviewed him after his crash. Told my fiance I was going to get that swing arm sticker just to push some buttons also. Haha. I don't see Jimmy Albertson going very much further in racing seeing as how much he focuses on Ronnie, so why not? I think it's a sense of humor many enjoy, just keep your kids away from it.

I was a fan of Ronnie Mac when it was Trey Canard. Once it became Albertson, and it became publicized and starting becoming a "thing" at events, that's when it started getting annoying and a bit overused.
Pretty sure Trey Canard was never Ronnie Mac.

It was funny when he was off season entertainment. Year-round Ronnie is just too much for me.

I don’t really care either way. Some of it is funny, I definitely laugh. Mac to the future was really funny, but some of it I almost cringe for him. I could totally see some 19 year old kid riding that shit out, but he’s 30. Unless he is just really making good money off of it it, kinda makes you wonder what’s going on in his head. I wonder if his break up had him acting even crazier lol. Anyway I say live and let live. If you don’t like it don’t watch. Pretty simple. Jimmy is a funny dude in general! He should def do some pit reporting or interviews or something with his crazy attitude.

You might be right, who knows, but this is Brett Cue... so the rider behind the helmet definitely changed hands at times.

When I was a teenager I thought it was Trey Canard, but after going back and watching a few videos I can tell it definitely wasn't him. I thought there was an old video somewhere out there that looked a lot like Trey (shorter rider than the original videos) but I'm not going to go searching for it to try and prove a point. You're probably right Alex.

The goon riding is hilarious as well as some of the stuff he does like pounding on the side of the dog house at straight rhythm a few years back. Some of his trash talking was pretty funny too. The perverted stuff goes a little over the top and is pretty weird in my opinion, almost like there's some kind of real issue there that is being vented through the Ronnie Mac character.

I dig the character outside of the weird perverted stuff and I think if he axed the sexual stuff, or at least learned where and how to deliver those types of jokes without coming across and a creepy person, he could go pretty far with the Ronnie character. He's basically trying to be a comedian. He has the riding part down and seems like a funny guy, so I think if he wants to further this niche character maybe studying different comedians and comedy in general would help with the off the bike antics. A good comedian can make jokes about super raunchy perverted stuff and not come across as someone that has to register with Megan's Law. Jimmy should try getting on the Joe Rogan podcast or something and start making some comedian friends to learn from. There's definitely potential for success with the character he created, just needs some polishing.

Yeah that’s know they’ve had a different rider but like you mentioned, I’m pretty sure it’s always been Jimmy, Greg or Brett Cue.

I was a fan of Ronnie Mac's early stuff. I though the goon riding videos were very funny and entertaining. For me, he has strayed too from his good fun humor with the 'I EAT ASS' sticker, and vulgar behavior. I exercised the same right we all have, and stopped watching a while back.
You did the best thing anyone should do if they don't like something; stop watching and clicking on stuff related to it. If demand falls, it'll go away or become irrelevant eventually. I just wish people would stop watching the Kardashians.

He doesn't exactly possess the rapier wit of an Oscar Wilde or a Dorothy Parker, does he.

The vulgar stuff doesn’t bother me, it’s just not funny any more. After the “rimskin” straight rhythm video he gained popularity and videos were just stupid. I loved the goon riding ones

The Ronnie Mac bit isn't funny to me. But I do think that instead of the bang-dangy over the face he oughta go with full-on clown makeup. Maybe change it up at times with a Pennywise look.

It's all kind of changed for me. I used to go out of my way to show people the segment from Kickstart 4. I thought it was freaking hilarious. Now its just not that funny anymore. I do have to agree, I'm pretty sure Canard played the role in one of the less popular youtube videos. I'm all for someone having fun and making some side cash doing it. I will say he rode the heck out of that thing at the Straight Rhythm.

I noticed he got way more crude after the divorce. Just kind of wrecked the whole thing. I'll bet Georgia left cause Jimmy was going off the deep end, after he got hurt, realized he was done racing, and his doors started closing. Just a guess.

I'm not sure if he was ever Ronnie Mac but he has been doing the goon thing for quite a while. This is from 08, definetely the inspiration for Mac.

I guess I'm in a minority that doesn't really find goon riding particularly funny anyway. Never been a huge fan no matter who was doing it, I'd rather watch them ride properly. I find it to be pretty unsophisticated stuff to be honest, kind of like a Motocross equivalent of Benny Hill - always seems like it should be accompanied by "Boing" sounds and canned laughter or something. It always makes me think the person doing it is a bit of a showoff, an attention seeker.

Never been a huge fan of Rodeo Clowns either, but at least they serve a purpose by distracting the bull. So for me, the whole thing is kind of a waste of time but I don't find it particularly offensive or object to it if people like it. If it was on TV I'd change the channel.

It’s just crazy to me that Ronnie’s been around for almost a decade now...first video of him was posted Nov 18, 2008

Once I found out they weren’t going to make the A main or affect results AND it was for charity I was fine with Ron racing mxon. He made me watch an otherwise uneventful straight rhythm to the end and the boner airs on the finish jumps were hilarious.

Ya a bunch of grumpy old facks in here. I'm glad Kdub is replacing him, but still hope he's the team manager. A healthy TP, K dub, and Sipes on legit bikes could be exciting. People need to lighten up, The real Team Usa is gonna light some shit up, Herlings might be able to hang since they're changing the track to appease the Euro's who are afraid of jumping anything over 80 feet. There's alot of natural talent on Team Puerto Rico, then you have Eli, Barcia, and AP23 on team USA. Can't wait....

Unfortunately, in my opinion, Jimmy Albertson was only a big deal and only got the press he did because he was married to Georgia. Now that she’s out of the picture for him to have to resort to the Ronnie Mac shtick is pretty sad. He could have been a lot more popular without having to alienate himself with families with conservative values by the vulgarity he posts on his bike. But, I guess some think he’s hilarious! Oh well...to each their own.
Dork......there is a chick that works at Denny's that is hotter than Georgia in my 5k population town and she doesn't have an annoying English accent. Ronnie Mac is making him more money then Top Jimmy ever did. What is Georgia doing these days?

they're leaving Laroccos leap in if that's what your insinuating to. Also the only change they've had to make for us "euros" is that we have a longer pit area requirement due to our pit lane. Read the post the Rupert posted.
