Last Week was the Best ever. Blair and Carmichael. That is the team. The "Sportscasters" may be seasoned, they SUCK. They know nothing about the sport. Having two EX Professional racers is what and WHO should be announcing. Get Weege if you want seasoned. 

Thank you. You would be a Major Dude if you could pass that along.

Exactly who do you think I am? Some moron that writes the "support" line that no one reads? I need action. Real change. I come to Vital where the real insiders are reading what you mooks do. 

Thank you for your suggestion. 

Yeah I do think you're a moron.

Actually no, thanks for asking. Do you eat squirrels there in Louisiana? Y'all got electricity? I'll be damned. 

I can tell 

So, do you eat squirrels? Not judging just curious.

How does everyone feel about having second audio program (sap) where we can just listen to the music of the engines rather than a lot of blathering on that I certainly don't need

Remember when we had to read about what happened?

Or search here and there for where we might be able to find part of the race?

I do...

Dont like the audio, turn it down.

How did you find this year old thread for your first post?

Didn’t someone last season on here say that they were embedded with the production team for a weekend and was going to do a write-up on it?  What happened to that?

They were promised a case of Monster delivered weekly to be hush hush about their observations

Yes I do, when I was in high school back in the early 2000's.... Guess what? Shit has changed unlike our beloved program from the ever secure position of Bondo.  You know i think it is interesting... Back in the early 2000's with Art Eckmann, David Bailey and Davey Coombs we used a pre race report with three keys to the race, a science of supercross explaining what the sport and bikes were, and now that i think about it.... That sounds like today as well.  The least this lazy team can do is find different graphics that work better for timing/scoring,  fix audio issues, and not fumble all over themselves cueing the most un informative, ill timed, excuse of a rinse and repeat program.

Wasn't that Darkside? If that is the case they were the softest questions about how great of a job he is doing... Then he came on here and tried to defend himself for his lack of effort on the situation.

The sad part is that I don't even know if you're joking or not.  That's how plausible this story is.

Double post, but @Zycki11 was right.  It was @Darksidemx3:

Production Director is Clueless - Moto-Related - Motocross Forums / Message Boards - Vital MX

The article can be found here:

The Golden Age of Moto Television | Editorial - Motocross Feature - Vital MX

FWIW, I am pretty critical of the broadcast yet missed the above article.  I appreciate that Darkside at least tried to address some of the concerns.  The dismissiveness of the production crew in their responses was no surprise.  The whole "it's a lot better than it used to be" line is getting old.

No disrespect to Darkside, but that was like a one-legged man entering an ass-kicking contest!

Well, perhaps its perspective. Mine is about 2x longer than yours.

SX is still a fringe sport. We hafta pay pee cock to watch it cuz advertisers wont cover enuf of the cost. Why? Cuz appeal isnt broad enuf, so, they try to put in filler that will appeal to more of a general public type of person.

Got ideas for better fillers? Write nbc/feld.

However, this thread isnt about the production issues that you are mentioning, its about the broadcast team.

Again, I'm thankful we can watch it, but I hate having to pay pee cock cuz I despise nbc.

Change is not always good. EG - we lost Miss Supercross cuz of trying to appeal to general public and not offend anyone. I say bring back Miss SX!  YMMV
