On a positive note our grandson and the 7 year old neighbor kid we invited (who just got his first bike and was at his first MX race of any kind) had an absolute blast. Walking around for 3 hours after the race was over was just an extra added bonus for them. The neighbor kid is super enthused, it was fun to see him get to check out a bunch of stuff he wouldn’t have had we not been stuck there. Like him standing on the starting line and imagining he was in the race, throttle and clutch hands...

It never ceases to amaze me honestly - old man rant incoming (I am not old). I coach 2 of my kids Flag Football teams. 1st/2nd & 5/6th grade divisions. There are three rules every player on my teams must follow or they are benched immediately. Be humble in victory. Be gracious in defeat. Have respect always. Over the weekend we had playoffs, and despite us getting absolutely SMOKED in the semi-finals, we put a good drive together that had the other team livid. The all-star of the other team missed a big flag-pull that resulted in us getting a...

MXGP and MotoGP aside SX is arguably the most visible example of motorcycling on TV. The two other disciplines I mention have quite capable, professional announcing. It is not unreasonable to expect your sport to be presented in the best possible light, and after years of "it's a really hard job" or "he keeps getting better" RC is definitely not it. The consensus even from RC's supporters is that he is not ideal, or as he states "not a big thinker". Why doesn't the sport we all enjoy deserve "a silver tongued commentator", any reason why not? In the presentation...

Agree 100%, and have literally been the person in your example as an engineer. As you said, that's workplace politics and the normal stuff you have to deal with in the professional space. Ended up brute forcing my way to being the "next guy" early in my career. The sitting director of engineering got moved up to COO, so I filled his spot; in the years after there were many instances where he would still get his way in design choice and product selection over me, even though I was supposed to be "the guy" now. That stuff tore me...

I'll pull the band-aid. I think DB was doing his job too good and becoming more assertive in his segments and becoming the darling of social media and forums and RC got territorial and talked to the guy at NBC (who already had a problem with DB ) who then called DB in and reminded him of his place and told him to tone it down and sit in the corner like a good boy. DB is holding back in his comments about RC.

Sorry to derail what is a good topic (rider salaries) but JT saying they have to dumb down the broadcast for those that stumble upon it…I have to search peacock each week to find the broadcast. I watch nothing else on peacock. How the algorithm doesn’t automatically bring it up for me each week is crazy. No one is stumbling upon the broadcast, that is crazy talk

When you zoom in on a rider, you lose perspective of the surroundings. Larocco’s leap becomes…..nothing special at all; like a still photo. I’m not into photography or videography, but even my dumbass understands the advantage of perspective, especially in a sport like motocross. Back TF up please.

Ricky does the same in SX. The passes usually don't happen though

If something bothers you stay away from it. If your kids ask about it, teach them why it bothers you and maybe they will feel the same way as you. It’s called “parenting”. Take it as an opportunity to open the discussion up. I don’t remember hearing about any young drunks needing rehab that came out after MC was sponsored by Bud Light.

A good comic once said why can't people just be offended? If you're offended then don't go to races or don't talk to racers/teams who are sponsored by sponsors who offend you. Just because someone is offended doesn't mean the world needs to change for them. Just go home and be offended, life will go on.

This is bigger than moto. This is bigger than the controversies. This is about losing someone from our community who we've known pretty much since he was born. I will always remember Jeff ( and Mike) for the rest of my life. The first time I rode a dirt bike in the US was in Castaic Lake in January 1996, Jeff and Mike were there on KX60s. They were so small. Matter of fact, they scared the s*** out of me the first time I saw them ride. They were riding together and flying for being 2 very small little...

Those dumbfucks showed the points like they were paid per moto….what a bunch of dumb shits….

Why is the broadcast acting like points are paid per moto

Dipshit diffy and the points. Does he not know !!!!? Fuck Ricky sucks. Stewart isn't much better. Holy shit what a great moto

Yeah why they acting like it’s points per moto? Did it change for this round

These idiots need to understand the points….So fucking frustrating…

Great moto but how the hell are they updating points? Jo has 4pts for that moto and Deegan has 5 🤷🏼‍♂️ It’s the overall that counts…

It’s Olympic scoring FFS….
