Haley Shanley

Seems very knowledgeable and doesn’t string a question into a 2 minute statement 

Big improvement over that thing they have now.

I met Haley about 10 years ago when I was announcing for a race in Duquoin  and she was working for a live streaming company.

She is the real deal, genuinely nice person, knows her stuff about the racers, has been a rider for years and knows when to let the subject do the talking.

Super happy to see her get on RDL and look forward to seeing her more.

She's awesome and should replace Shrill immediately...

I still don't want trackside people talking during the race though....but if we must, she's the one it should be. 

Been a fan since she was working for Snocross. Seems down to earth and does her research / is a fan herself.

I dig her.

She’ll say something vital doesn’t like and you guys will insult her soon too. 

If Will drives you guys nuts, I would hate to see how you feel watching/listening to Arica Alread.  She is the Arenacross equivalent of Will if you do not watch AX.

In the audio version she says she's checked out the vital forum and is aware of all the hate that some people get in comment sections. She says she tries to just avoid it. These women work together, they aren't dumb, and they talk to each other.

Keep it classy.

Never ONCE had a complaint about Jenny Taft.     She set the bar. 

Haley is core and if you have a problem with her we will fight. 

She does ride and race herself and was posting pictures from the Red Bud grass track race. 

I just hope the producers aren’t the source of irritation as she gets more involved. I don’t mind Will, it’s the way they interject her into the race that is annoying. Have her stand on the start in front of a rider she has a monologue and deliver pre-race. She has good info/stories to share.  Not during the race…. After the gate drop, it is not story time, cover the action on the track. Who is faster, and where, Lines, passing areas, bike setup or technique that is making a difference, strategies, mindset, and cover the riders (and sponsors) throughout the field. 

It's not hate in Will's case, it's valid criticisms by viewers of SX. If she took some of it on board she wouldn't get criticised as much. It's the same gripe RC has. He makes it out that people have nothing better to do than criticise him. People criticise him because he sucks at commentary. You don't see posts and threads on here 'hating' on Weege, DB, Malin etc.  That's because they're good. Likewise, you don't see threads on here saying RC sucked as a motocross racer. Valid constructive criticism is not 'hate'. FFS. 

Who cares if she's 'core'. That's not her job. Her job is to be able to find interesting background information and to convey this succinctly and clearly. RC is as core as you can possibly get and it doesn't do shit for his commentating skills. Perhaps if the sport started giving jobs to people with the relevant skills, rather than because they are 'core' or blow the right bros, things would improve. 

I agree, Will brings nothing to the broadcast. Every time the focus is thrown to her it's always the same. Some long story barely relevant to the situation that starts with "I talked to"
