unpopular opinion and probably not a great first post but

 

I cannot stand RC's involvement in the booth. I'd prefer anyone but him, even Ralph.

I hate when they do split screen on the broadcast, and they ALWAYS do it when there is good racing somewhere up front.

I don't want to watch 2 races at once.  I want the full screen, not one medium and one small screen and a shit ton of green virtual background.  You can't please everyone at once, and thats what this pathetic idea is trying to do... in my opinion.  Some may enjoy it and thats fine, but I dont and it pisses me off when there is a good battle on the track that theyre ignoring to show us 7th and 8th on the small screen which is like watching a tiny youtube video.  Its like, I just want the full screen.  Similar to how I would prefer to listen to one good song loudly so that i can hear it and feel it nice and clearly, instead of listening to 2 songs at the same time quietly.

I honestly don't remember how it was referred too in the past 20 years, but the racecraft term is only a couple years old and just bugs me. Another that is starting to get thrown around, mainly by JT on the pulp show is the constant use of the word nuance.

I have watched pretty much every race since the late 90's. Maybe it was used occasionally, but it definetly wasn't being jammed down our throats multiple times during every race or podcast like it has been the last few years. That much I do know. It gets used so much now it could be made into a drinking game.

Did this thread need to be created no, but it is going to be a complain fest.

1. Yamahas front fender and number plate look like ass this year

2. Im seriously despising the term (soupy) for supercross

I loved Magoo, but his legend is a lot faster than he actually was.

The announcers calling the gap “bike lengths” we aren’t nascar where everyone is running the same pace.. 

when it’s fast they spread out and when it’s slow they get closer together, the “bike lengths” are always changing 🤦‍♂️

Thread titles with just the rider's name like, "Tomac." Come on, Jimmy Olsen, put a little more effort into the subject you want to discuss.

And still I ask, why not the Grand national Champion? 

Just has such a good ring to it. Most likely didn't because I think they want to call it a World Champion SuperMotocross Champion.

Yes the '23 front fender looks like ass. It looks like supermoto front fender or Ronnie Mac fender. DUMB.

And the only person authorized to call it "Supey" is Diana Dahlgren cuz of her DUMPY.

I constantly hate the "we" term on the podium. I understand when you're talking about during the week. "We made some good changes this week." Then the next sentence, "We made a good pass and we were strong thru the whoops tonight." Like dude, YOU made a good pass all by yourself. And YOU were the guy on the bike sending it thru the whoops ALL BY YOURSELF. Stop the overusage of WE.

While we're complaining, ban Freezy before he gets a chance to ruin the '23 season for all of us.

I agree with Rupert X about letting the 250 2 strokes in the 250 class. The power is so close they might as well just let it happen now.

"Goats" 

As in "They are the Goats." There is only one greatest of all time. We can debate who it is but there can only be one.

 

Isn't it time that gear companies changed their names to "Kit companies?"

If I had to pick one thing that kind of drives me nuts, its Feld's insistence year after year of catering the programming towards the "new" viewers of the sport they hope to gain. By doing so, they actually are accomplishing the opposite in my opinion, driving the core fans crazy with dumbed down explanations of all of the minor aspects of racing (think pit board explanations), while ignoring the myriad of unique things that make our sport amazing. Sometimes you forget its a motorsport they talk so infrequently about the bikes and the things the teams are doing to the machines to gain an advantage. Also, we have the technology, ever rider on the board should have a live reading of their heart rate to display the insane shape these athletes are in and how this type of racing can weigh on the human body. 

Analysts covering pro football don't give a rip if you don't understand why they flagged the offense for illegal formation, they figure if you really want to learn you'll keep watching to figure it out. We should promote this sport the same. Don't do it a disservice by making it sound so simple.

Lorettas needs a 60 plus class, now. Saying a big HELL NO to Maier plastic. I know you stole my 3/8 drive 10mm deep socket, you SOB. No more British accents rambling about what the team boss told her two weeks ago, while there’s a battle for the lead (dammit!) Please, please, please ……bring 125’s back outdoors. Love my IPA’s, but they’re a 3 am alarm clock, ferchrisakes…Bush Beans ? I like the Original flavor.

West coast SX rounds should kick off at 1700 hrs.  5pm.  Drop all C Classes at Lorettas. Pearl Jam’s “Ten” Album, remains a perfect earful. Permit Works Bikes in the premiere class and encourage Toyota to make a Prius Pick-Up truck. Let us into the stadium before we hear the bikes inside spinning laps, ya filthy animals ! Pala is a silly track, get WW back on the schedule. I won’t work on bikes that require 11 or 23mm wrenches. I won’t !

P instead of place, which has already been posted. 
 

Also, I don’t think announcers or podcasters should be affiliated with brands they’re commenting on. I understand everyone needs to make a buck but they’ll never speak their minds honestly, especially bike brands.
