Bummed for him with all the injuries.
Moving forward, Put him in the booth. He’s done well in there during his guest stints. He doesn’t seem to hide anything, just tells it how it is. I think he will do great when they get him on the broadcast as a regular.

Dude you might be onto something here
I hope he replaces ricky, or anyone but stew, JT, JB, Weege and maybe dan.
It's about time we got something fresh for the booth.
I'd have to watch his podcast again to hear exactly what he said. But he alluded to wanting to have a role on the broadcast

I would love AC in the booth but RC will fight tooth and nail to keep him out. If you thought he cut DB off at the knees to keep him out, just watch this one!
Exactly! There’s no way he wouldn’t Tonya Harding AC to keep him out of the booth. AC runs circles around Ricky with his enunciation of the English language.
Weege, JT, Brayton, AC, bit of Stew would be the dream team in whatever shape or form it would look like. Rotation in the booth, JT on the floor, Weege is a must though. Oh how good it could be, and we have the guys willing.
Thank you, my thoughts exactly.
Can you imagine this with daniel blair on the floor 😮
Ironically enough, RC’s comment on Adam’s retirement post on Instagram is full of grammatical error. It almost felt like blatant foreshadowing in a movie.
AC is one of the best spoken athletes in the sport, and deserves a spot in there if he wants it.
I said this in another thread but having AC on the floor talking over the more technical aspects like detailing some of the rhythms, corners and things like that would be awesome.
Doing a mic'ed up couple laps around the track with a go pro detailing the rhythms and possibly alternate ones and lines in the corners and such would be a great segment to run in the night show before racing kicks off.
Adios Ricky
Refresh my memory, is RC in the booth for mx? I know he's done it before but is it definitely his spot? Love to see AC in their for the summer
I literally cannot wait for you guys to start bitching about AC like 6 races into him being in the booth. It’ll happen, you watch.
No it won’t. Someone bitches about stew every now and then but it’s 90% positive. RC is 90% negative. He is just not good.
RC just signed up for some online Babel English lessons…
Not surprising, at least 30% of the words Carmichael uses in the booth aren’t actually real words and that’s when he can string a sentence together.
Fair play he’s way better than he used to be and obviously trying his best but it would be nice to have a guy in there that actually sounds like he graduated high school.
AC has whatever "it" is that makes certain commentators the best of the best. I really hope he gets a proper chance in the booth, I feel like he would be wasted on the floor. He has elite of the elite insight along with a talent for public speaking. You always get one or the other but very rarely both in the booth.
Pit Row
Doubt it, david bailey was universally loved and I think Daniel Blair is spot on when he says AC would be the next David Bailey.
No Vital wouldn't do that
Chris gets it
It would be cool if they give him a spot on RDL next year. Him and JB would be awesome together. Just a thought.
Is English Ricky's native language?
Asking for a friend.
The thing about RDL is that staff also does the live stadium announcing once the night show begins. That's a long day. I think they want more of a talking head like Hubbard to lead that, who doubles as hype-man with Lurch for the night show.
I'd love to see AC as part of the regular broadcast crew. His short stint a couple years ago proved he "has it". And RC ain't got it.
And Daniel! OUT WITH RC.
The amount of pressure and expectation AC had coming into the pro’s, I feel like he will soon have close to the same when it comes to getting in the booth lol the amount of comments asking for it.
I’m 100% here for it. Sorry RC.
I've not got anything against RC.
He skipped school, he gets tongue tied but he's a legend and I'm sure to some degree he has his hands tied and real insight clipped by the broadcast management so it's not all on him.
That said, he's had a hell of a run and he's gotta be suuuper flush, so time for a change and AC is 100% the man for the job (if he wants it, and we all hope he does).
ya'll always trying to add people to the booth....let weege carry the show. jt on floor. guest spot randomly is fine for people like AC. to work them in. but jesus they need to stop all the other non-sense they are trying to do with the show. racenite is too small/short to fit all this crap they try to do
AC will do well with media, but throwin him in as a color guy...., if i was him i wouldn't go near it til they fix all the other shitty things goin on with the production
AC would be the perfect guy in the booth. It would be so cool to get him in there for 2024 moto and 25 SX.
Sounds like “elbow grease” to me
Post a reply to: AC to the booth!!!
