Actually my favorite was I think Glendale. He was talking about Deegan. Said “how can you not like the dude. He’s so polarizing!”

This was the best one for sure. I remember laughing out loud hearing it live

Do you guys remember  the bingo card from a couple of years back?

I liked when he used to say, "if you can't win,  wreck someone who can," and "there's a race, and you're not in it.," said to a lapper.

I laughed this week when he apologized for thinking Anstie crashed and not Cole Davies…


Like mate if you apologize for your mistakes the broadcast will be all apology —- and based on your treatment of DB, that’s not gonna happen

Chris were you bullied as a kid? Maybe a little short in stature? You seem like an angry little man.  And now you get your revenge as a keyboard warrior here on vital. Calling someone a cuck? Right after you called them dumb. All over someone’s opinion on the announcing of a race. Smdh 🤦‍♂️

Teenagers on 85's smoke me all the time. Is RC good at broadcasting now?

It's easy to sit there and judge from your keyboard, but the truth is, at this point, the one's who don't like his announcing are the stupid one's.  

They tune in every week, only to complain week after week after week, ad nauseam. If I don't like something, I don't keep going back to it. If I didn't like a certain podcast, I wouldn't keep listening to it. If I was subscribed to that podcast, I would cancel my subscription.  

And if I kept going back, only to complain and cry about it, knowing it's not going to change, I'd be the stupid one. 

RC doesn't bother me that much. I think criticism of him has been blown way out of proportion. I personally enjoy Paul Malin, but above all, I like the racing.  I'm sure as heck not going to let the announcing stop me from enjoying the racing. 

"I’ve never flown a helicopter. But if I saw one in a tree, I could still be like, ‘Dude fucked up. It’s not supposed to be up there. That’s pilot error.'"

 

How long has Ricky been in the booth? If I practiced ANYTHING for that long and was that bad at it, it would be a crime to pay me to do it professionally.

Not that he was amazing or even good, but Jett was a nudge better in his first try than Ricky is now after 20+ years of training.

I thought that too and also, when Mosiman crashed, Jett knew immediately who it was. The other guys in the booth had no idea and probably made a guess like with the Anstie/Davies thing.

Another thing I noticed was that in the 250 main, there was no mention of championship points/positions. There were probably quite a few storylines there. Vialle retook the points lead from Anstie but this wasn't mentioned at all and probably should have been given Anstie crashed at the start. If it was then ignore me.

What a weird take.  What if we like supercross? Maybe we like the sport and would also enjoy competent announcing like motogp, mxgp, F1, bowling, most all other sports…

Then put it on mute if it's that bad!!

By the way, people bitch left and right about the F1 announcers, and guess what they do on the motogp forums?  That's right, bitch about the announcers. 

If NBC had a broadcast option that was bike and crowd noise only bet your ass I would pay double for it. I generally try and listen through the gibberish to hear that anyway as it’s more informative as to what’s actually happening.

Getting a tow.

Still have yet to see any hitches, or straps dragging behind the leaders.

Yes I'm actually a little person. That's what we preferred to be called these days. Go look at the comment I responded to. He said anyone who doesn't like the announcing is stupid. I didn't start the name calling

Yeah absolutely, I actually didn’t realise he had retaken the lead untill I listened to the pulp review show

I will miss him when he leaves, and we are given some shiny, slick-talking never-was instead of the GOAT.  Given that you could watch these races with the sound off and see what happens for yourself, I enjoy hearing him and his takes-mistakes and all.
