I'll probably get flamed but my god Ricky was cringeworthy Saturday night. One more WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAA! and I was about to jump off a cliff. He seemed like he had a couple cocktails in him or something. Holy hell!

I don't get why everybody bitches about this so much, it's not that bad. I do the same shit at home so I can't even hear him over my own OHHH's.

I noticed too, but doesn’t even register anymore. Blair and RC are a good broadcasting combo and will continue to be for a long time to come.

This had me in tears.

I normally really like Ricky’s commentary, but he had a few weird ones in MN

The only good thing he did was throw to Adam over and over.

Someone did say to take a shot every time Ricky said “WHOOOAAAAA” so I don’t remember much of the race.

I would much rather have someone who is excited and as much of a fan as we are. You guys don't remember the days of Sam Posey and Jackie Stewart commentating on the USGP... Ricky is a fan, and it shows up when something exciting happens... Good on ya RC. Just keep doin what your doin.
Jaysus Criminy, some people will just piss and moan about anything...

Watching one the supercross commercials during the broadcast (or on youtube? cant remember) and because its a commercial, its just a highlight real of crashes, and they kept in all of the woaahs from Ricky. It was hilarious how amateur it looked.

We really need that supercross race whiner forum. This time, took 3 days for someone to decide they had a complaint that other's needed to hear about.

I always watch their after the checkered flag almost every SX weekend.. Definitely not cringe-worthy. Good insight from the GOAT and clearly communicated.

Ricky climaxes a lot during the broadcast. Blair has definitely made the broadcast better but I’m not a fan of Ricky in the booth. Repeats the same stuff a lot. However as long as Ralph Shaheen isn’t called off the bench all is well.

I think this is best combo of someone that can carry the show and have a former pro rider. Its a good show and they are both so into the sport so it provides great entertainment.

The screams are perfect, exactly what I do when potential carnage happens.

This is motocross, not golf

I understand people taking jabs at RC for the "whooaaas" and everything, as it is funny. But I don't mind it. RC is the man and I think it's good to have him involved in the sport like he is. I think him and Daniel do a great job. Adam was awesome as a trackside guy as well. It is funny that a lot of the time Will or somebody is in the middle of talking when there is a sketchy moment and RC drowns them out with his reaction, but I don't see anything wrong with it. It adds to the excitement. Weege is sort of like that for the Nationals too. I will take someone in the booth that is knowledgeable and passionate about the sport, 100% of the time. And RC brings that to the broadcast.

Excellence. I can not emphasize enough, what a good combo these guys are. Ricky feeds off the vibe of his cohort. His professionalism and articulation are on point. His insight spot on. No duo is going to do better than these guys right now. We are at an all-time high with the guys in the booth, and I, for one, am enjoying it.

Good grief.

RC is not only the announcer, but a fan and into the racing unabashedly. His reaction is like any of the thousands of other fans in stands. I'll take that any day of the week over corporate dry commentary.

Speaking of corporate dry commentary... Here is what I'd like to see happen to Will every time she opens her mouth.

He’s taking a page out of cam McCall’s book: it’s been working for him.
Or maybe he’s been watching old Canadian moto

Put Osborne in the booth (NOW) AND see what happens. The director can scramble anyones brains even the veterans at times. Add in some carbon monoxide and it’s a wonder Blair and RC could even do their job in Minnesota.

Blair and RC are on deck for a great run of young SX talent that is beginning to surface. Looking forward to hearing their call for many years to come.
