Wow. I've met RC at a couple of VIP Experience sessions during Supercross events. He was always at ease with the fans and very well-mannered, even the one time some dumbass said to him that he, "Wasn't as short as I thought you'd be."
But it seems like if he views you as the compition, he only know one thing: go for the jugular.
It worked for him on the track, of course. In life, it's a little different.
You can’t seriously think there is anything to this video.
Is this going to be the new, “where is Blake Baggett?”
It's just RC busting his balls....he's that way with all his friends and the closer you are the more he is going to bust their balls... just ask JH....and if you think RC is bad you would never survive around Reed or RV...

This may be completely anecdotal, but DB is still following RC on Instagram. If it was a big enough beef that he quit his broadcast career because of a soured relationship with him then I don't think he'd be following him on social to keep up on what he's up to.
NBC had the perfect play-by-play guy in DB but his value was not being reciprocated when they were literally flying Todd Harris in from London to call races and keeping him on the floor. His issues are definitely with NBC which is a shame because he wouldn't have hired an agent if he didn't have his eyes set on growing in that role.
Under appreciated is the best answer to this question.
Yes, I do. That exchange was awkward as shit and if you can't recognize that, you're blind.
Now, nobody can bust RC's balls on this because you're hugging them too tightly.
"But what if you're wrong"
On one of their podcast after a national where they had RC in the booth instead of Stew, they were talking about the commentary and DB goes "I can't comment on the announcing since I watched it on mute. It was one of those weekends."
Tin foil hats - engage.
The guy you're replying to isn't Australian either...
I grew up in the UK or GB.....people in USA don't have this kind of banter like u all do.......they just don't get it or understand this type of humour. Took me years to figure this out. In the UK it's a sign of endearment or affection for a mate. In North America it's one step from a punch in the boko.
RC on his best day has zero sense of humour much less any personality - this was a total POS bully with his massive ego and attitude ! ! He looks like a total asshole. He has about 2% of DB talent in this field. But yeh he could ride - so fuking what.....very offside.
I never heard about this RC-DB beef other than here. I don't recall them working very much together in the booth. Wasn't Bailey out before RC started announcing?
if i wanted to help RC hoist himself with his own petard, i would put the clip out. which he did. Blair went along with it, b/c he's playing the long game.
DB, David Bailey was one of the best announcers of all time. Just sayin'...
Didnt seem like banter to me. That was disrespectful!
Dan Blair is was 1 of the best natural commentators we had. Yes Blair and Weege would be a great combo.
You seriously can't think there's not.
98% of Vital members googling "petard".
That was a Daniel Blair segment for Monster Energy Supercross's official YouTube channel. He didn't put anything out. If there was any real animosity, SX would have squashed it and cut that part out because it's a bad look. Some of you just seem to be looking for something to be angry about.

Oh good it wasn't just me, For a couple seconds I was like DB ... ? What DB ? .....David Bailey ? Oh man Did I miss it ? No not David Bailey ...Damon Bradshaw ? I saw him on tv recently.... no not him, Dick Burlson ?
doubtful, what DB..... ?...
Oh Daniel Blair, duh........
Looked like they were fucking around to me, hard to tell in the first part but the second part seemed liked it. I think if RC was really pissed he'd come over and say gtfo of here, not some spiel about telling "Beautiful VIP's" to go watch old videos of DB so they know specifically what not to do" Watch the guy in the background in the second part, he's not acting like there's any tension in the air, if they were serious I don't think he'd be smiling and laughing. Ricky did seem upset about the boat comment though lol. Who knows. I like how some guys said they "Were" RC fans and "used to like him" but not any more. Damn tough crowd hahaha
Looked to me like RC was tired of showing the charlatans around the track and threw Blair into the mix of objects on the track that were in his way.
Somethings never change.
Life must be tough for people who actually think this is serious.
Just wish DB was more open about it.
Dude stays so far away from saying anything negative. Trying to preserve his career choices which is understandable.
But this sport is filled with so many who don’t want to step on anyone’s toes and don’t speak up about the wrong doings in the sport.
They’d rather keep it quiet and let it happen again. Weird to me.
Pro MX/SX is a small business compared to stick and ball sports. Gotta be more careful to not burn bridges. Also I like the fact he’s taking the high road and not stirring the pot.
You are spot on. You can't fake that.
Blair is a fantastic announcer. He should be in the SX booth with James, JT on the floor.
Ricky is not very good.
Blair's Breakdown was Daniel's personal content. It got published up to Monster Energy's YouTube channel but was not a created by Monster Energy. He created it, and at times he didn't do them during the year. The content and editing was all DB's. As mentioned before it was left in on purpose.
Based on the way some people are reacting to that video, I'd say some of y'all don't realize when someone is being passive aggressive with you. That's what co workers who don't like each other do, just jab at each other passively. It's pretty obvious by the body language in that video that there's tension. That's my opinion, been wrong before though.
Thank you for using your brain.
