World Supercross Announcing Team Revealed

I'll defend Kristen, but if she's the reason your viewing experience isn't ideal then you probably aren't a real fan of racing.

ok,

I will say it if nobody else will..........

so, the team everybody bitched about that Feld replaced?

seems odd they bring in Australian/English announcers/pit reporters for the NATIONAL USA SX series, and Americans for the WORLD SX series

"Everybody" who bitched was likely a combo of Diffy / RC connections / shadow accounts - who wanted the job - because they did a perfectly fine job.
And if they didn't - the Vital Brains trust aren't the type to know or care anyway.

-Ralph especially has an Eckman-esk nostalgia to his voice - and is polite and knows his shit (in some cases better than Weigant - who likes to pretend he was around the sport in the early 00's - when he wasn't)
You can’t be serious. Ralph maybe a nice guy but he was absolutely atrocious at the job.

What is the streaming option going to be? Can’t see my self going too far out of the way to watch this geriatric sx.
In keeping with the geriatric theme of this 'series', my guess is that it'll only be available on DVR via mail order.

And that was me hoping I would never have to hear Ralphs voice again, damn. If anything this Outdoor season was perfect proof of others being great at announcing too.

Really hope Weege does SX next year

Press release: "The stage is set for the FIM World Supercross Championships’ inaugural event in Cardiff, Wales at Principality Stadium on Saturday, October 8th. The WSX has been hard at work announcing its exclusive 10-team field, race format and structure, along with a laundry list of world-class riders. Today, WSX took another step in solidifying the inaugural “pilot” season of the FIM World Supercross Championship by announcing its all-star broadcast team, including Ralph Sheheen, Jeff Emig, and Kristen Beat.

Sheheen, long-time voice of Supercross in the states with over 30 years of experience, will host each FIM World Supercross Championship broadcast alongside his co-host and 1997 Supercross Champion, Jeff Emig. Emig will offer viewers an in-depth color commentary and technical analysis from his unique personal perspective as a former World Champion. He’ll be able to identify and clearly communicate technical idiosyncrasies and the psychology of racing like very few broadcasters are able to.

The final cog in the trio of WSX broadcasters is Trackside Reporter, Kristen Beat. An Emmy nominated Pit Reporter, Beat has background in NASCAR, Supercross, and American Flat Track making her an ideal candidate to jump into the pits and get all the real-time updates from teams, riders, and crew chiefs."




are my eyes bad, or does her mic say "kkk arena"?

Haha it's not your eyes, strange marketing choice, however I think it's the Kicker logo (speakers, subs and amps and whatnot) and a couple of K's for some lame acronym.

I can't knock this team at least for the one event I'll be at listening to them.

I kind of get people's issue with Ralph although as a British dude he does bring back classic American Supercross vibes when I hear him, I don't get people's beef with Kristen, and I sure as shit don't get people's issue with the legend that is Fro. I know he says "ok?" halfway through sentences and a lot and stuff, but he's a good, knowledgeable, former champion.

That said, I still like Ricky even with his countless mistakes and repetitive phrases when most take issue with it, so I'm probably not the best judge of announcing talent.

Does anybody have a link to the roczen interview?

Bubba would have been a good choice. I like him in the booth

It is the Kicker logo followed by kic on the mic wrap. The IC kind of looks like a K in that photo as it wraps around rhe corner of the mic.

It's funny to set up a retro SX series that plays on the nostalgia of 5 years ago.

Matthes said the '22 series is down to just 2 rounds, any truth to this?

How do you know I wasn't?

After all, since we are name dropping every chance we get.... I've known Kody Kopp since he was in diapers, hell I think I even changed one of his diapers.

I know you think you're pretty important and want to let us know every chance you get....but don't go assuming that the rest of us don't know shit or don't go to races. Just a little less "holier than thou" attitude might help you make a few more friends around here.

I’ll defend Ralph all day -

Does he say stupid shit from time to time? Sure - and he’s not alone.

Look at James digging his feet into the “sexton looked over and crashed” even after the replay proved other wise.

The dude has been announcing the sport for decades, is knowledgeable, and an all around great guy.

Yea, I don’t like the “red Honda” either, but that’s not for us boys…

Really looking forward to Ralph’s spastic screams as he announces who won the race as the white flag flies. I’ve missed that.

Emig or JT$ and Malin would have been my first choice considering it is a "world" series. Emig and Ralph ain't bad, though. It will still feel like and AMA thing, though.

Emig is cool… and ralph is ralph and will be ralph… but the blonde? why? she was horrible during SX and the train wreck of an “interview” she did with Roczen was atrocious… not sure what some of you see in her, this is very underwhelming for me.
What we see in her? C'mon man, she's a smoke show, and if you disagree please post pics of your chick.

Now, what we hear from here when she's on the mic? She's no Jaime Little, but I would not go as far "horrible". She's got a little room for improvement, but her segments are short so really just go grab a beer or snack if you really can't stand her.

If I may put forward a slice of personal philosophy, nothing's more unappealing than a fake blonde with black eyes.
Unsure

Guy, I’m not sure what your issue is, but you got it all wrong.

You are the one who chooses to attempt to attack me at every chance. It’s utterly ridiculous.

Now you’re accusing me of more crap and having some sort of attitude?

If you can’t handle a simple comment without having an attitude, making a snide comment, and bashing shit into the ground; then you have an issue, not me.

Did I screw your daughter or something? Seriously, what gives?
LET IT GO…….

Gotta get the old sx announcers to go with the old sx racers. Only makes sense. When are they going to announce the series is only 2 rounds? what about TV? Thought this series was supposed to be the future?

Go re-read your "5 years" thread where you came in here like king shit, thinking you were the most important thing to motorcycle racing in history. Shitting on anyone who wasn't some "OG" like you think you are.

You, and only you brought on the shit talking that is coming your way, you came in here like you were better than the rest of us and quickly found out that nobody gives a shit.

Just a couple quotes from that glorious thread...no attitude eh? Sure seems like you think you're pretty important...

"I’ll be cruising through the forums for the next two weeks and putting some of you in your place, be prepared."

"Well, when a Legacy and Founder stops by, it’s a big deal. I’m kind of a big deal……"

Like I said in the other thread, it's a reflection of how pathetic the AMA is that someone like you is in any position of power.

By the way, my daughter is 8. Let me know the next race you're at on the West Coast and we can talk in person about how you feel about her.
