Yep, we are paying the price of a myopic exclusionary clique... Darn shame that anything between good and excellent is punished... Blair and now Hunter permanently exiled from the broadcast booth.

I am not a serial broadcast basher, and don’t believe I have visited this thread. But just had to say holy shit that was an awful night of racing. Going between MotoGP and Supercross on the same weekend is bad, but my god that was a bad night. 

Can not believe how much Hunter elevated the commentary, instantly. Insightful, quick, relevant, and some laughs. It was a light switch. These guys are fucking terrible. They just talk in circles about racing, the riders, same rhetoric, never actually ABOUT the racing that’s happening on screen. Someone is closing on a rider, taking better lines, doing a different rhythm, and they are just rambling on, nothing, until said rider gets to the rear wheel then “WHOAAA”, like with thrasher. Insane. 

I swear Ricky has the same script of talking points every weekend and just repeats them over and over, regardless of the situation that’s happening in front of him. How do we get another Hunter in the booth next week? Brayton, AC, where is Weege!? Can someone sabotage Ricky’s flight? So over it and ready for outdoors.



Sorry for my rant. 

No rant, not bashing, you are just pointing out the obvious. When watched alone, SX broadcasts are abysmal. But when you watch them in relation to other motorsports, like your MotoGP, the SX broadcast is simply unacceptable, bush league, and sophomoric. I know Weege and his minions will go on and on about how hard it is to broadcast or commentate but being a professional means, you make what others deem difficult look easy. And MotoGP, MXGP, WSBK, Speedway, MotoTrials, Dakar, Isle of Man, and other broadcasters of motorcycle events do make it look easy. While we get the bumble fuck ups and the entire supporting cast of Ben Hur doing the play by play for SX, totally unable to string two legible or relevant statements together. Oh, and I know RC won a lot of races.

does RC knows this thread exist or should we start to send him the link on his social medias? Im not on any socials but I'd create one just to keep sending him this, if thats the plan!. 
AND we should create one for Will too just to have a drinking game: everytime she say she "talked to someone earlier", you drink a shot. And then the survivors gather here on sunday to see whos still alive... or who managed not to passout before the end of the race to tell the others who won the race.

Said I wasn’t going to participate in this any more but Fuq that is gold right there.  He’s right, “keyboard warriors” wouldn’t understand.  Why? Because we fuqing can’t   It’s not English and it’s not an analogy, just a cluster of words and pauses.

That ramble on statement with mud on your shoes was epic! I watched the replay today and knew it would be mentioned in here.

And then JT came in and immediately described what the pit board was actually about. 

Watch out JT, Lil Ricky don't like being made to look dumb.

This was the quote of the night. That should go into Ricky's quotes hall of fame. I burst out laughing when he bumbled through that one.

 

Apart from that he actually wasn't that bad. I was almost disappointed in him. Ive now embraced his crazy ramblings and now I think they add an extra dimension to the show.

He's not even close to being a top level moto broadcaster. 

Really shows when he's sitting there with two of the best.

He has the tendency to over-talk.  Then always about when “he” raced.  
Stew is a natural and very modest.

My favorite part is when he repeats a point made by another guy, and elaborates on it by repeating the same things in a worse less coherent rambling two bit way.
