Who, in your opinion is the best, most respected journalist currently working in Motocross?
In America I'd have to vote for Eric Johnson, his article's in RacerX are always well researched and a joy to read.
DC writes well, when he gets time.
Jody's articles on his recollections of vintage racing are the ones I first read in MXA online.
In Europe, have to give the nod to "Sir" Jack Burnicle. Sadly he is the voice of Eurosport's Motorcycle coverage and only gets to write a monthly retro article in UK Dirt Bike Rider.
So who do you like as a moto journalist, either past or present?

But I also agree about matthes......he does some cool stuff! I dig some of the things he does and writes about. He's a good dude to "lighten" things up a bit and make it fun.
And Davey....YES.....lve reading a bunch of his stuff to. He always seems to write with a level head and puts thing into perspective. He has done more for American SX and MX than anyone I can remember. Dude is awesome for this sport.
And lets not forget about our own GuyB either......he does some great stuff to!
DC writes great articles and is really in the middle of everything- which can't help but influence his writing.
Swap does a great job of showing the lifestyle and personalities of the riders- especially in his films.
Jody is funny and has been around forever but is only relevant in SoCal.
Cox writes some good articles and does a great job..
Most respected? We're not talking about Walter Cronkite here- They're all great just
depends on your taste and what you like..
Har har har, cracked myself up on that one.
I even used to enjoy reading TFS's stuff.

I know that I don't agree 100% with any of them.
Matthes. Prolific provider of moto info. Stunning variety of podcasts, articles and tweets. The PulpMx show is not to be missed. He has given us lots of Kenny ... can't wait for the Uncut show.
Weege. Always a good read or listen. Probably the best writer.
Ping. Insider. A little tainted with his opinions but mostly a really straight shooter.
MXGeoff. Respected. Aussie. Bringing the Euro flavour.
Izer. Cool guy. Core Moto supporter. Obsessed with poop and genitalia but carries a gun with a "laser". Gotta love that.
Jody. Old stories are great but often his words are driven by spite or some other unknown contamination.
EJ, Don, Gobert, Cudby, Cox. Hard working Moto guys.
We are doing very well with these guys informing and entertaining us as regularly as they do.
