Leigh is dog shit fragile annoying. Shit commentator.

RC is a socio faker man child with no education, great racer,  but shittest of commentators. Out of his depth as equal as me racing an SX!

Will C is the most annoying self absorbed desperate voice of all on the broadcast.

Katie is way better than Will C. 

James is a breath of fresh air, technical, has Tv presence and personable and extremely insightful.

Weege is a legend. I dream of his voice opening the Outdoors production… My happy place.

DB was probably technically the best by quite a margin.

NBC wants a great name in the booth. Unfortunately, RC is not the same as an announcer as he was as a racer My biggest issue is if the broadcast was free, beggars can't be choosers but we pay to watch this. Why can't it be as good as possible?

The strange and sad part about RC is, for example, in the gypsy pod he did (IMO) and excellent job explaining himself and his pro career. I thought it was one of the best interviews I've seen in a long time. But when he gets in front of a camera his IQ drops 100pts and some of the stuff that comes out of his mouth is just ignorant. 

Because he only knows how to talk about himself.

I don’t mind RC as a commentator in general. Honestly could care less. He’s good enough for my liking. I like his input. My problem comes from the clip from Arlington. Never saw that. He wouldn’t talk stupid like that to a person like Bowers or Peick. 

Hopefully he comes out and says it was sarcasm.

You missed it. Just scrolling past this post is the "who cares" option, but you just had to stop and say something. You want it to appear that you don't care, but the answer when you ask, "who cares?" is you. You cares, or you wouldn't have said anything at all. 

I think you missed my point. I don’t care to vote for either because i don’t care who it is, I will happily take either option, or a whole different option so long as racing is still being broadcast for me to easily watch.

I’m glad you’re ok with trash. That’s nice. Let’s purposely make it as bad as possible while we’re at it. You know as long as it’s available.

Viewership in 2024 was up over 25% per race. I’d say you and Vital are the minority based off ratings, which is what all broadcasting has to go off of.

Didn't know RC was such a tremendous shitbag. Little man with Napoleon sydrome right there for all to see.

Either way, regardless of how good he was at his previous job, he fucking sucks at his current one and should not be there. That's all there's to it.

Regardless of who is in the booth, Vitards will complain. Well, maybe if Taylor Swift..

This is all a ploy by the Greenies to sabotage Motocross and Super Cross into extinction. 

If you don't like the broadcast, turn it off. Mute it. Go out and ride

Is RC the GOAT of MX? Undeniably, YES!

Is RC the GOAT of race announcing? Undeniably, NO!! 

RC is an egomaniac, and a guy who thinks his status as a multi-time past champion gives him the right to push his weight around, blind to the fact that he is ruining his legacy by his douchebaggery and ineptitude.

Not long ago People have had the total opposite take of this .

  People were saying how RC has all kinds of experience and should be leveraging it and not going so easy on the racers. Calling them out when they were doing something he saw.  I heard Steve Mathis saying it, and I imagine that NBC may have also said something to him for him change the way he has. Many were saying that its his job to do all of that. And were saying that he was too soft on the riders and teams before. 

 

Perhaps some of RC's connections have even helped NBC ,Feld or MX sports put together some sponsorship deals too.   I would bet that when the time comes for RC to hang up his mic . That I could come on here and see as many posts about why he should come back or why he shouldn't retire from TV .  

 

I do like that it seems like people love to hold onto the good parts of stuff long-term, and forget the bad parts. That their long-term memories are more positive than their current states of mind. 

 

If only people could enjoy the good old days before they are the old days. I'm not saying not to point out what can be better. I am pointing out how overall everything seems to be better in the past for many on here than it is currently.  But in the past , people were saying the same stuff about whatever was the current thing.  People hated Emig and called for Baily to come back, If there was a forum before that I'm sure that Bailey would have gotten hate too. 

 

RC has always been the biggest winner in the sport as well as the biggest crybaby. Remember fuel gate?

Give me someone who can string a coherent thought together while calling the action as it happens. Oh wait we had that guy and he got run out of town on a rail.

You're concerned about his knuckle placement during the broadcast? This crap is ridiculous. I remember having to wait months to see a 30 minute TV broadcast about each SX race. Now, we get all rounds live and its come down to tearing apart one of the greatest racers ever to walk the planet because he doesn't talk eloquently enough for your sophisticated verbal pallets. Some of you people have lost your frigging minds. Hell, Emig stutters and can't get the words right and none of you ripped him apart for it and in fact want him back. Build a bridge and get over it.

Come on RC! The least you could do with your new burner account is get an avatar...

Without clarification as to why viewership is up 25 per cent this stat is meaningless. It could be up for a host of reasons - none of which have anything to do with satisfaction with the commentary team. I would be willing to speculate viewership would be up more if RC was banned from going anywhere near a microphone - along with his girlfriend Tintin.

A few outliers might still complain, but the majority of Vitards would calm down a lot if the commentary team were changed. For example, I saw little to no complaints about the quality of commentary during outdoors with Weege and Stew. The RC bashing is a function of how bad he is at his job not because Vitards are compulsive complainers.

I should clarify...

The RC bashing is a function of how bad he is at his job not because Vitards are compulsive complainers about the commentary situation in general.

And to clarify further...

I think if the commentary situation was fixed (Weege and Stew in the booth and no Will on the floor) the complaints would mostly cease.

Maybe or maybe not we don’t know that. But we do know that these ratings are higher with RC in the booth then before when he wasn’t in the booth. Outside of that is just guessing.

If a tree falls in a forest and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

 

Tree = Vitard

Forest = VitalMX forums

Nobody around = NBC mucky mucks

Ralph at least was a fan of moto....Diffey is just a polished penny for appearances, I don't mind the job he's doing, he's just "there" and it doesn't matter.       I never minded Ralphs goofyness and flubs.      The whole broadcast went to shit when they kicked out Ralph and Fro.      

They're trying so hard to turn SX into something it's not.      We're a bunch of yokels sport, always have been and always will be.

Awesome!  Looks like RC won’t even make the night show with the poor performance here! 🤣


The more info that comes out, just proves what people said all along.  He might be great on a motorcycle but not a good person at all.

Are the 8 per cent of people who've voted for RC:

1. RC using one of his many burner accounts?

2. People in the industry or on the broadcast trying to blow RC (even though the vote is anonymous)?

3. RC's kids?

3. People who don't understand English and thus the question posed in the poll?

4. Farm animals who accidentally hit the RC button mistakenly with one of their hooves?
