Exactly. 

Talk about an underutilized talent in our sport.

There's no doubt that there's an untold story behind him not being part of the broadcast team.

Probably directly related to the tongue tied farm animal we're stuck with.

He is a super fun guy and will have a positive impact where ever he lands. You have to wonder if this is ktm financial related, in light of their current troubles.

You have to assume amateur programs would be nearly first thing on chopping block for the company.

Undoubtedly the best guy I’ve heard, in the modern era, to announce SX IMO. I can actually listen to the guy and enjoy his dialogue. 

He’s good enough to announce mainstream sport .

It’s not like they have an elite talent on any of the 3 brands amateur teams any ways

DB knows how to get the most out of riders without them hating dirtbikes at the end of the day.

The eagle population has rebounded, so back to the grind of making his famous beak hand soap.

Yea, Landon Gibson, Seth Dennis, Beckham Smith, Austin Keller, Chase Brennan, Joey Vicari, Easton Graves, Braxton Mes, Ries Seeba, Brennon Harrison, etc… none of those guys are great.

Check again in a few years and see how many of the big bike kids still have rides. How many big bike kids won titles at mini os? Pretty sure that answer is 1. Unfortunately none of them are elite.

Blair’s riders won around 25 titles at Mini O’s this year. Easton Graves won 4 titles alone. Didn’t even count Mike Brown or La La.

He left on his own, this wasn't a KTM budget cutting thing.  No doubt he will kick ass in whatever he has lined up.

So many storylines heading into 2025 SMX but there can only be one lead story...

And it's Daniel Blair!

The former AX Lites West Champion and Eagle Grit Founder turned the industry upside down when he announced that he's leaving KTM USA and Orange Brigade KTM. Word is that he has been inspired to chase his dreams again! Overreactions are all over the map from him racing Arenacross again, to being the Team Manager for Star Racing Yamaha. Or stepping back into the booth to take over the Lead Role with the broadcast team. (Sorry Weege). 

But my money is on the most shocking announcement of all. Making his debut as NFL Announcer for all the Dallas Cowboys home games next season. 

Either way this dude is a living LEGEND and I can't wait to see what he does.
