I like the drones in moderation , and they can add a lot to the coverage when used at the right times . Drone shots in battle box should NEVER happen . Not a huge fan of the battle boxes but I get that it’s also ad time … acceptable when kept to a minimum .
Even worse was the 2 simultaneous drone shots in the battle box. Had no idea which battles I wasn't really seeing and who was in them. Like watching 2 sets of ants crawl around on my screen.

1/2 the broadcast? That's being more dramatic than norcalredryder

That’s stuff Usually drives me crazy too, I missed it this week. I must have had a off weekend? LOL. I will try harder next week! I will use my long legs in the whoops, to hit all my marks. Might also keep my bingo card handy.

Did anyone else catch “the lappers holded him up”? I almost spit my drink out when I heard that one because I wasn’t quite preparated for it!

That should def be on the next bingo card update.

Yeah that one was the worst in a string of bad ones. We were all laughing about it and it took the conversation (naturally!) right to home-schooled motocross racers.

Here’s an idea. How about you two geniuses apply to be guest commentators to illustrate your monosyllabic prowess?

Stfu noob. I’m an experienced public speaker and I’ve no doubt I could do the job just fine. Happy to step up at Washougal if they want. I sure as hell won’t say “holded him up” but damn well will use “up the inside”. Just can’t follow it with “that’s what she said” like happens at home.

There were so many like that , i just stopped listening.

Drone cam is at least a decent way to get more than one bike in shot, you can see who is coming, instead of just watching the times .

Its not an easy job, but being able to speak properly should really be a given.

I heard a new one this week... something like an "almost moment". Sorry but that's almost as bad as a "must situation". I actually cringed when i turned on the broadcast forgetting it was RC again this week

I guess I’m just not hearing what some of you guys are. It’s not a perfect science but it does involve passion and that’s what I hear from both of those guys. If they said every catch phrase that you approve of, I’m sure you would still find something to complain about.

Now Ralph…..that’s another story😁

Looking at your post history shows that you bring little value here. Perhaps you can go find another forum to pollute?

Am I alone in the thought that the racing coverage was way better without the commentary?

Just pure sound of bikes and fans?

This is the first time in a while I’ve paid attention to the announcers, with the guest spots now. RC, I just tune him out automatically at this point.

I believe RC is trying very hard and has improved, but it's a professional sport and basic grammar should be a minimum expectation. If he would actually break it down and share his actual opinion unfiltered, I could look past all the mistakes. All he offers is "he should ride behind and learn" or "it's a long race" etc over and over again. He knows more than all of us combined, but is far too filtered.

I love weege, but he had some moments too..
Something along the lines of “a lap ago tomac was 7 seconds behind the leader now it’s 1.8” he was looking at the rider gaps, there is no way tomac made up like 5 seconds in a lap

RC butchered the English language so badly we were laughing in our chairs at times. Even Weege told us (with 3 turns left in the moto) that the clock had stopped. Well no SHIT - that's what 30+2 laps MEANS. My son lost his mind over that one. SMH. What a shitty year it's been for the broadcast.

Still waiting on RC to understand that passing lapped riders is part of the game for all leaders. Fix the rules if you're just going to cry about it weekly.

Post a reply to: Another thread complaining about the commentators..
