This is random but… Is “faster than you can shake a stick” a new Rickyism? He’s said it a few times now when he says something can happen quickly but I always thought the saying was “more than you can shake a stick at” meaning too much to count/a lot, like you're out in a field counting cattle or something by pointing at them with a stick as you count to yourself. It’s like he combined two different idioms “faster than you can say…” and “more than you can shake a stick at”. I’m just laughing at picturing how often people must be grabbing a stick and shaking it as fast as they possibly can that it would be a common measurement of speed. Grinning

Not surprised. Glad Chase got his MX title when he had the chance

Jett and Deegan are so damn fast. It's gonna be the Deegan/Jett show for many years to come. No one is gonna touch these guys if they stay healthy.

might be hot take, but i prefer Will over Katie, Will js makes the sport appear more professional, straight to the point and actual race discussion as opposed to the "newbie-fan" question katie likes to ask

Katie is too newsie story and cookie cutter.  Wil is part of the sport.

Will they ever mention Beaumer without spending a full minute talking about jetskis? 

That’s like every time I heard Reed’s name they had to say “you know he’s the grittiest rider”.
