So watching RDL and I’m super impressed with Adams commentary and analysis. He seems super natural and his analysis is on point. Like “easy listening” music to me.

Him and osborne would probably make a good team trackside one day.

AC is so well spoken and entertaining. If he wants to he could be in the booth, on the floor as a pit reporter, in the media or anything he really chooses when the time comes. I'd personally love to see him move into some sort of media role when he's done, not just TV announcing. I just think he would bring so much to the table and create so much valuable content for the fans.

He’s been like that his entire career. His interviews in his moto (3 maybe) movie segment with Villo we’re great, he did some booth work when he was injured during a 250sx series and he’s popped up a few times since he made it to 450s. He’s a natural speaker and knows how to articulate what it’s like to ride at his level better than Ricky or Jeff can.

This is not a surprise, he has always been good behind the Mic.

AC supports my theory that you either got it, or you don’t. He’s immediately eons better than Zach and RD and they’ve both had multiple cracks at it.

Yeah, not surprised. I hope he races for a long time, but takes over PulpMX when he retires.

He did some commentary when he was out hurt I believe during his rookie 250 SX season. I was impressed with his knowledge & how well he spoke during the broadcast. I can definitely see him having a career in broadcasting after he decides to retire from racing. Big fan of the kid.

I was going to say, I bet we see him as a regular in the booth by 2025

Only if Zach gets a 5Hour Energy sponsorship, with free product included.

Have you ever watched his vlogs ? The guy is not only well spoken but has a natural personality.

Are you crazy. Ricky Carmichael doesn't know what it's like to race at the highest level. Ricky and Aldon Baker invented the level that guys are on now

Probably missed it somewhere but saw a Daniel Blair IG post yesterday and AC had a full knee brace on. Did he (or anyone) ever elaborate on what happened?

Correct but what he means is they (Ricky and Jeff) can’t spit it out very well.

Adam is doing awesome! Tonights been the best broadcast for SX in years. Sounds much smoother not as awkward. Blair, RC, and AC9 make a great trio

I guess with the great broadcast team nobody asked him how recovery was doing and be back on the bike ?

Every time they asked him something, he didn’t just given the canned response. He would expand on it and really explain exactly what’s going on. Perfection.

Probably told the booth guys, “hey man, we’re not going to get into it, don’t try, let’s talk SX”.

Yes. It’s not about filling time up with “announcer words” which is what Ricky sometimes gets caught up in. Your job is supposed to be to make the viewer at home understand why what they are seeing matters.

With Osborne behind the camera?

Zach seems like a really good dude and I'm absolutely sure he knows what he's talking about but he's not exactly an excitement machine!

Both are great, but I personally prefer Zach overall....less manic, slower cadence, and better voice.

Careful now, I said something similar a couple weeks ago and got ripped apart. Apparently since he's a good guy and great racer then we should automatically love him as a reporter. Adam is a natural with a microphone in his hand. I hope we see more of him.

He took public speaking classes along side emig when he was like 15 there was a whole deal about it on either the first monster cup broadcast or something like that

He did ok I guess. I just think he's a Dollar Store version of Pastrana. Pastrana was a genuinely nice guy his whole career, even after all the fame and money came rolling in, he never wavered from who he is. He's still the same guy from 1997 as he is today. On the other hand you have AC. Who even as an amatuer and his first few years in the pros was kind of a dick to people (some say that is to his Dad's doing) Now that his star is fading with injuries and the fact that some fast 250 kids are coming up to the 450s looking for a Factory 450 ride. He has now done a complete 180. He's not bad on the mic, but he also is not that great either. Just my opinion.
