About RD never having a reality show because he does his work on the track? "If you want a reality TV star, James is your man. He has the million dollar quotes and he might even get arrested but not Dungey"

How unprofessional can you be? This guy is a disaster!

Probably made for a bit of an uncomfortable moment in the booth.

Yea , that wasn't right. James made a dumb mistake, but he definitely doesn't seem like the kind of guy to get in trouble. He seems like a genuinely good guy. His whole family seems like good people.

He may have been "correct" but that doesn't make him "right". There is a HUGE difference.

I wasn't a fan of that comment. Get this guy out of the booth, he has no place in moto.

I thought it was funny. Its not like dozens of you guys haven't said the same thing anonymously on here is it?

I thought Bestwick did better this week actually.

Doesn't James have some episodes where he gets pulled over by the police??

When the broadcast crew was discussing Blake being sick, Bestwick said Bagget was flushing the toxins out of his body jumping LaRocco's leap. Seriously, how much more hilarious can he get?

x2

He adds NOTHING to the broadcast. I'm tired of the word "towuff" coming out of his mouth every other sentence. Horrible.

He is there stiring things up a bit and I like it as well, just a bit of dry humor.

F'n idiot, makes certain riders and our sport look stupid. How do you grow a sport when a guy like this sits on national TV and bags on our riders. He said stupid shit about Malcom in a race also. Whether its true or not, it makes moto have a negative outlook.

Dont seem to find a lie in any part of his comment.

The truth hurts I guess...

I loved that comment myself.

Dungey won and Stewart talked about lack of a sack. Bestwick pretty much nailed it I would say.

I hope he calls out some of the guys for the podium sponsorship robot spiels too... may as well ruffle a few more feathers while he is in there!

It's not something I personally would've said if in his position but it didn't bother me either. I knew what he meant.

It was basically just his way of blurting out that Dungey's a much quieter character compared to a rider like James. He just sort of butchered it a little in the process, that's all really.

Well it looks like the Bestwick fans are posting more than they did the first time he did a broadcast this year. Last time in was about 98% to axe the guy.

He was better this week, the Stewart remark was probably not something a commentator needs to get into, but he still is terrible as an MX announcer. It is simply not his sport and he makes dumb comments. He doesn't get it and his employer doesn't get it. Where are Bailey and Eckman? I am buried in the past but they were the best.

As much as Bestwick is performing commentating faceplants, Emig has been solid, and Weege brings commentating moto to a new level. Shout out to weege and emig for bringing Intelligence, insight, and good flow.

Oh really? HE is the guy that makes our sport look stupid?! Not to mention all the riders have Ph.Ds, right?

What exactly qualifies Bestwick for the job? Prior jobs announcing, ex-racer, follower of the sport for x amounts of years with a vast amount of knowledge?

Post a reply to: Did Bestwick just say that?
