Is it just me, or is Chad’s Australian accent almost non-existent now?

Nah he’s still got plenty of Aussie in there, but you can really tell he has lived more than 1/2 his life in the USA. Pace makes fun of his Dads accent sometimes on the vlog and it’s hilarious

I doubt whether anyone can live in another country for 23 years and not pick up the local twang.

I watch all of their YT videos, when they go on holiday to Oz, particularly Ellie reverts back to sounding Australian.

It's because she's a big fat phoney.  As for Chad 'Um' Reed he barely sounds Australian and has sounded that way for a long time.

You heard Patty Mills (NBA) talk? He been there for about they same time and still talks like a straight Aussie. Reed put his fake accent on from the start

Watch Robbie Madison’s videos, he still sounds Aussie, and oddly enough, so do his kids.

Wow. I don't know if you're a guy or a scorned female from Chads past, but either way what you said is bullshit. Call out the racer, the mechanic, the suspension guy, or the whole team. But to say that about a racers wife and mother to his kids is just bs.

Why? She's out there on social media and YouTube as part of Team Reed and open to criticism. People don't get to go on these platforms and reap the benefits that they bring and also say, hey I'm off limits

Yep his accent is so weird. He’s clearly tried to make himself sound Scottish rather than just develop a Scottish accent due to exposure to it and now it’s like he’s forgotten what he should sound like.

I’ve lived in San Diego 27 years and still sound as if I just arrived yesterday.

Sorry guys but people that, as adults, move here and then end up with a bloody stupid sounding quasi American accent - which is how Reed sounds- are doing so because they want to sound American. It takes a concious effort.

By moving and living in different parts of the USA you start picking up different dialects along the way. 

Where all have they lived along the way? They have lived in Cal,  Charlotte NC and Ocala FLA that I know of so that could be part of it.

I have lived in SW Michigan, Nashville, Baltimore/ Washington DC, Southern Maryland and Charlotte North Carolina and South Carolina so my dialect sound I have picked up along the way is all over the place.

He's a fake.   He was putting it on 6 months after he arrived.   Often, you'll notice, he forgets to put on the accent.  As an Aussie, it's super obvious.  I wonder if he lived in India for 6 months, he'd be putting a fake accent there?

My father has been living in Florida since 1992 and hasn't got an ounce of American accent. Words are different though like flashlight and hood etc.

Kinda ironic that a native German has a better command of the English language than most of his peers, lol. Especially one of the guys being paid to commentate. 

I wonder how many on here criticizing Reed have ever visited another country,  let alone lived and worked abroad?

Hell just traveling from state to state is like hearing a different language

Calm down girlfriend. Ellie Reed is fair game. She was a part of his race team and is now a constant part of his reality tv series. Therefore, she is a member of the industry.

Yeah, but only family members who are part of the industry. Most notably your friend The Princess.

So that's your excuse for being a low life troll....you actually think its ok to personally verbally attack family members of riders because "they are part of the industry" to you mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers are fair game for your immature bullshit attacks.....your'e a fucking classless joke....
