I expected no less. After a few heat races I think the new guy is doing good. I also Like Ralph so youll hear no complaints from me.

It's the director that can't keep up, and makes them use only the monitor's that is f**king up the show.

It makes them look bad, like a QB with a lame Offensive Coordinator.

camera angles make it look easy and boring. on the practice cameras you could really see how steep the jumps are and how big the whoops are. i hate to say this sport i love is looking boring on tv

Right.. This sport has too much shit going on to be error free for more than a lap. It will never be as perfect as some of these dipshits expect. Pick a team and twist it.

Bloss crashes out of a transfer position and they mention it like it isnt important? That's kinda shit announcing. That's the kind of thing you have to point out to the casual fan.
You mean some people actually care about what's happening to Bloss?

He's definitely improved his takes... His natural flow and cadence of speech is still a little jarring but at least he appears to be putting some time in now.

I've been slamming Ricky here for about a week but I'm man enough to admit he did a pretty good job in the 450 main. Mentioning the ruts forcing riders to cut down and being aware not to get taken out, jumping the whoops when tired, etc. I've always wondered why he couldn't just give REAL insight since he's the GOAT and all. Tonight he started to do that. Just be yourself Ricky and don't worry about being the perfect analyst. Leigh was fantastic, and I'm not even a Ralph hater. I actually think Leigh might be better for Ricky than Ralph because Leigh is a little better at the analyst part of being the announcer.

That’s because he was a carpenter. The only thing he could have commented on is when Austin “cut” the track. 😉😝

I knew there was gonna be crying about the new announcer on here! So many of you complained about Ralf and now you got what you wanted. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side.

RC was much improved and he is looking lean! I do like Ralph even though the Aussie was great too. Ralph is a huge motosport geek and he is cool with me.

That's better than the race looking like Supercross, but sounding like a lawnmower race.

Perhaps you don’t like his commentary, that’s fine.
But what on earth makes a guy you clearly don’t know anything about an idiot?

Some people are just losers I guess.

It's par for the course with Texas built comments.

It’s strange, I thought he was good, but every once in a while I caught myself thinking I was watching “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” Laughing Anyway, I thought he did a great job. Usually during the broadcast I’m so zoned into the racing that I don’t really hear much that they say anyhow.

I gotta know is he simply put into the announcement job because the producers want some type of Australian link to this being chad reeds last sx season ? Because why else is a Aussie in the seat ?
I think it’s funny seeing a Aussie bloke on the sx seems when we have sx in Australia we get U.S announcers for the main events 😂
