Bondo - Weekly Complaint box

If you're looking for something to be wrong, you'll find something. 

Nothing stuck out to me that was bad, it was a pretty good broadcast IMO. Obviously I prefer Weege, but Leigh was fine and I can't remember any blunders from RC. Actually, the only mistake I can remember came from James and it was pretty minor.

Giving credit- sound much improved as you could feel the environment and crowd in the stadium along with the bikes. The camera angles were much improved as well. 

Cons-Replays take way too long and are also poorly timed. Following the real action on the track, instead of highlighting a rider and telling a story. Races should be about the race at hand and not everything else while there race is live. Add those insights before and after if you like. 

Last year rating overall 4/10

A1-7/10

Hearing the crowd was nice 

100% with you there Mike!!! Please ML give us a mute button in 2025! We could use one on herr!!!

As for the racing my mind went straight to "THEY LISTENED, won't Vital be glad!" when the checkered flag flew, and they went back to the racing at hand. Bravo

Now please... about that mute button...

I'm not one to complain but it is so hard to go from race day live to the broadcast and everyone watching asks if I could please mute when Will C. is talking.  At this point they have to know it's bad right?

Hey GuyB, how's it going? 

I thought RC did a great job. I concur with some of the comments about Will, though.

lol at the people that claim to mute the broadcast when Will speaks.

Why do you mean claim? I actually do.

#metoo 

I can be critical of the broadcast but I think they did a great job in the main events, especially in the 450s.

I saw the highlights then at the end he says something about if you enjoyed blah blah.  I,m like plz shut the f up . His voice is soo irritating. Who ever hired him did you ever listen to his voice ?  Has to be the worst voice and energy in the last 50 yrs of any sport .  How can bball hv all Great announcers & Mx hv all crap .  

Watched about 2 minutes of RDL before I shut it off because I couldn’t stand that the music was louder than the announcer voices, someone please tell me that goes away at some point. Also, did anyone catch some riders flying off the berm after tripling into the corner?(First base side)I got a front row seat to that at the race, one guys even took out a flagger, i was scared for every flagger by that corner for the rest of the night. 

The production quality of RDL hasn't made any progress imho. They still stumble explaining what the hell is going on in timedqualifyingpractice (it's qualifying for God sakes) and just because they have Brayton and AC on there doesn't automatically make it wonderful either.

Will sucks in 2025 still. 

Broadcast has been much improved.  Commentating is still pretty flat.  RC sounds so monotone, but at least he was coherent.

I still don't understand why they feel the need for the play-by-play guy to talk about random nonsense vs. call the action on track.  There were multiple times where Diffey stopped mid-sentence talking about the off-season or something random to call the race and then never circled back to the original thought.

RDL is what it is.  I was surprised to see that Hayley Shanley is moderating the post-race presser instead of Dan Hubbard.  Is Dan still doing the announcing in the stadium?

Get rid of will.  She has no reason to be giving us mid race monologues.  I’m sitting here enjoying the race until Leigh and will start talking.  
”I talked to rider a today bla bla shut the fuck up

Anyone else having issues with buffering and audio sync on Peacock the last two weeks?

Man that first qualifying was pretty rough from a production stand point. Not in sync at all. It can’t be this difficult can it? 

I have not.

I’ve enjoyed RDL so far this year. Couldn’t stand Dan, AC and JB are great together. 

I did today. I hope it doesn't happen tonight. 

I’m trying to watch Supercross, not ride a roller coaster, slow down the camera movements tonight guys. 

Like an ADHD kid filling in all the scoops and stories he can in a 5 minute window while simultaneously missing the actual racing action. It takes actual talent to suck this bad 😆

Will is awesome. Stop being a snowflake smdh 

Can we please do something about how the starts are shown? Tonight it was shot looking straight down the line at gate drop which shows you nothing, then view from behind as they approach first turn which shows you nothing, and then finally as they round the first turn we get a head on view and if you're lucky you can spot a couple guys before they switch cameras again. 5 seconds between gate drop and first turn gets 3 different camera angles. 

All you need is wide angle view of the entire gate head on. Go to it long enough before the gate drops so you can actually find the guys you're interested in and just stay on that view until they're through the first turn. Stop being so damn cute about it and just show the starts!!! 

That's fair. Otherwise not a ton to complain about this week. they coulda replayed the 250 lcq start crash tho.
