Just thought I'd type out Carmichael's insightful and brilliantly executed track-side analysis from 450 main number 2 last night:
Jeff: "Ricky, what are you seeing that's happening with the whoops down there?"
Ricky: "Well, they're definitely getting beat out, ok, through the middle, like we... like we know. Ok so some guys are going to the edge of that, kinda long side... err the hay bails, like we, talked about... earlier in the broadcast. W-what you're trying to see also... starting to see - pardon me - is that they're starting to jump through them, ok, and I think [inaudible bable] and Anderson's doing it really really good, is he's getting over the first couple of whoops very very... clean, and good. He's jumping, like, over the first three. So he has a lot of momentum... into the whoops which is really helping, his cause."
Articulate, insightful stuff from a former professional rider during a live TV broadcast, right?
Honestly, get this guy off the broadcast. I know that most pro MX/SX riders aren't the last word in intelligence, but he can barely speak sometimes.

Blair is too PC. It really shows in his podcasts also. He can't have a negative opinion or tell the truth for fear of a job.
It was night and day change when he got the reporter job.
That makes for bad reporting.
And if you are, is the fact that he has sex with a lot of women qualify him for the track side reporters job?
Please explain, I must be missing something.
Seriously, how good would you do if every time you spoke you never finished a sentence because Ralph started having an orgasm live on air?
Both RC and Jeff drop insightful stuff from the racers perspective all the time that you'd never get from most people. RC's pretty uncanny at telling the viewers the sections to watch or what might be the deciding factor in a race.
I think Blair does the same thing, and is obviously more polished in his articulation. I say replace Ralph with Blair full time and see what happens to the broadcast.
He could without a doubt be an amazing contribution to the broadcast (give the fact that he is the fucking GOAT) but, just as he trained his ass off for his championships, he needs to put in some serious work to grow his broadcasting skills because they are pretty poor.
