Not sure why so many downvotes. The "It's good enough, here's a participation trophy" mentality infesting our society is a plague. People CAN and SHOULD be expected to grow, improve, and strengthen themselves continually, not to wallow in a cocoon of cozy mediocrity. We shouldn't be afraid to criticize or to demand excellence - especially not from "professionals."
What you got against cozy mediocrity cocoons bro ??

I agree, I like hearing what RC has to say. He has said some bonehead things in the past though.
He’s human. He’s a racer not a public speaker. He has an ego.

Here's what I do. I turn the sound off and practice guitar while I watch the races. It's Supercross!!!! I know what's going on and don't need anyone helping me out. Occasionally, the closed captions will work enough for me to get the gist of some drama or another. I get 2-3 hours of practice and watch a race. It's great.

I am just suggesting complaint in a separate thread then the race day thread. Start a complaining thread and knock yourself out.

I'll take Ricky's experience, knowleged, and insight into the best way for the competitors to get around the track, the best way, over someone who may have an idea, but that's about it. He may ocassionally make a mistake, but he knows what's going on during the race better than anyone.

What I think is worse is a bunch of grown men going on a forum to non-stop bitch and whine about it.

So you're complaining about the complaining is that right? Ricky sucks balls as an announcer, why put up with that s***? Where else are you going to get your opinion heard? They, being the producers, need to know that. I assume they're trying to present a professional broadcast. If that's the case then Ricky and Ralph are no bueno whether you're a first-timer or a long timer. You want to promote this sport beyond amateur status you got to up your game. Complacency sucks.

Right! Show me the battle! I don't care if it is for 1st or 11th. I want to see the bar banging action. Not the leader riding around by himself 10 seconds in front of second place.

It would be easier to win the upcoming 2020 SX series on a Hodaka with two flat tires than to obtain a Gentlemen's Agreement with a majority on the subject of the booth. Its...... Mission impossible.

Thank you, I fixed it. BTW, I'm pretty sure that Ricky has more time on his hands than I do. Since I'm not on live tv, my grammar on Vital mx hardly matters. Since you are the grammar police, why don't you tell Ricky the difference between seen and saw.
