I don’t care what anyone says, you can downvote away, it won’t change my mind.. I miss Ralph and Fro.
None of the announcers we have had lately are perfect, to me Ralph’s voice just is Supercross. Being that Ralph and Fro are actual friends, Their chemistry is flawless.
I don’t care if Ralph says Green Kawasaki and sometimes Fro fumbles his words, I miss them in the booth.
Since it’s a weekend off, enjoy the below race.. one of the most exciting SX’s of all time, with Reed on a Red Honda, Stew on a Blue Yamaha, Ralph, Fro and Ricky in booth. Chad and James fighting to the death to not be first loser..
enjoy!
If you think Ralphs voice is more supercross than Todd Harris, your right nobody can help you LOL
Art Eckman joined by David Bailey with Davey Coombs trackside.
I like Ralph. I Like Fro.
Fro was good. Ralph absolutely not. His spastic screaming was up there with Ricky’s climactic Oh’s!

Ralph.." and it's roczen sponsored by Jimmy johnstens"
Ralph might state the obvious like “green Kawasaki “ or “red Honda” but at least he doesn’t say “works Honda” like Diffey does when we haven’t run actual works bikes in America since the 80s.
OK, you can have Ralph and fro back under one condition. You must bring back Erin bates and Dianna Dahlgren
Might consider Nancy Grace and Joy Behar.
It's pretty easy for me to tune out the announcers and digest the race using the leader board and what I'm seeing on screen. It was hard with Ralph, though. His high-pitched enthusiasm permeated my hearing like a gnat buzzing around my ear that I couldn't swat.
I think Blair and Emig (or Glover) would be a good combination that would calm down the booth, a lot.
Nancy Grace doing a rubbin is racing murder segment would be fantastic
How about "The Psychology of Supercross" with Dr. Phil?
Carmichael has trouble with the Lawerence brothers names....
It makes me angry that this comment is getting downvoted. Art and David were iconic.
I’d vote Fro back in for sure. Ralph can stay on the bench
Ralph was too animated.
Another one of these posts! Sheesh! That ship has sailed… time to move on.
Remember when Erin Bates was showing how rocky the track was on the start, and she dropped the huge rock she was holding right in Barcia’s line? Then he freaked out lol funniest shit ever.
I miss Ralph too, reminds me of my childhood watching Stew, Reed, and RC.
Pit Row
A lot of rose colored glasses in this thread...
Bailey was my favorite by a long shot. I miss his detailed insight.
my favorite is...."learning lesson" ...
You only want them back because the current broadcast sucks so bad. Fro never really bothered me, but Ralph is terrible.
And Art Eckman
No. Just no. Just put Brayton and Blair. I grew up with Art and Bailey and for me it will never get better than that, but let’s not go backwards with Ralph and Emig, please. Emig is always searching for the words he wants to say and Ralph is on too high of a dose of his depression meds.
“…Dowd just nips Dobb!”
Bring back the huckabuck!
That’s honestly what I miss 😂
I think the Ralph and Fro show sailed, but I never had a problem with either of them and liked listening to them call a race. People hate on Ralph but he is as core "racing" as anyone out there, and Fro is just Fro which means one of the coolest cats out there.
Todd Harris is outstanding. RC is great if he is being straightforward and honest but the “experts” in the leadership positions won’t let him do anything besides sing to their playbook (which is wrong and they are not experts at all, they just think they are).
Emig was badass imo.
Harris and Emig would be phenomenal. Then again Blair and Weege are both outstanding as well. In fact Weege is probably the best to ever call the sport.
Don’t get me wrong, I loooove weege, he is perfect for outdoors, but don’t think he is polished enough for SX..
remember he was calling the Outdoors last year and forgot 2-2 Beats 1-3.. “wait a minute!”
haha love weege and I laughed when that happened, he suits the chilled, whatever vibe of the outdoors
