Thumbs down me all you like but the MX media desperately needs an infusion of new talent who actually take their job seriously. They've asked a total of 3 questions combined the past 2 post race 450 pressers.
ET3 signed an SX only deal and his Dad all but confirmed this would be his final run at the nationals yet no one even bothered asking him to confirm or what led to the decision despite having the perfect opportunity at the hangtown, thunder valley, or High Point nationals.
Can you imagine in any other sport where the biggest name in the sport indicates his intentions to walk away and no one from the media even bothers asking them about it during a press conference?
I get MX is niche sport but surely we can get a couple more competent journalist who actually treat it as a job rather than a side hobby.
When Barcia lamented at how weak the questions were(both quality & quantity) what does the media come back with? "Would you rather look like a potato or feel like a potato". I'm sorry but the MX media should be embarrassed at the job their doing.
Rant over. Now bring on the down votes which are sure to cost me many hours of sleep and thousands of $ in therapy bills.

Additionally, yes, he has been asked. At Thunder Valley it was brought up on the podium and Matthes asked it in his post race interview with him.
Its funny seeing the brothers have a bit of banter and kinda joke around with who ever else is up on the podium. Or it gets a little spicy with a few jabs at each other
all so they can keep bro’ing down.
Honestly when you have a media person being referred to as “darkside” in a after-race press conference, you know how professional our sport is….
I feel like the press conferences are a waste of time while this happens
"Would you rather look like a potato or feel like a potato?"
I say, why chose only one?
Go all out like I have, and do both
Pit Row
ESPN and mainstream sports are way harsher on players
Look how many times Cooksy was right, and vital/pulp nation lambasted the dude.
