Don't know about you guys but I am really digging Kristen Beat announcing during RaceDay Live.

She's paid her dues doing Arenacross and seems to really know the sport. Has a great personality, sense of humor (luv her laugh) and is a knockout in the looks dept.

Nothing against Will Christian but this is an American sport and we need American announcers, including in the booth.

Supercross is an American sport created on a cocktail napkin...

Are there American announcers overseas announcing major soccer events?

Wasnt she was the sideline reporter during the FOX Sports days after Jenny Taft? She's a professional broadcaster and has been doing the same job for AFT recently. Like Nick Wey says, if you stay ready for primetime, you dont have to get ready for primetime.

Will Christian's accent doesn't bother me at all, I just wish she would hold the mic closer to her mouth, you can barely hear her during the race usually.

Not ready. She seems very nice and I like that she has a background in the sport. Her first interview with Roczen was cringe...I watched a couple more and then I just started fast forwarding thru all the garbage to watch the qualifying only. She's not working out IMO. Neither is Joseph Allen for that matter.

Race Day Live absolutely SUCKS without Jim Holley.


Will Christien needs to go.

Kristen does a great job and I have zero complaints about her segments. She’s a pro.. Also, I do not hate when she wears those pants 😍. I hope she sticks around for awhile before she gets snatched up.

She’s great, big fan! She brings value to the show.

But her fiancé needs to worry about not getting shelled by the M’s 5 different times this season.

Kristen beat has done supercross before. Got sent to arenacross when they got on FS1. She’s better than will christen and has actually been around the sport her whole life. The beats are good people.

Having announcers who are connected in some way to the sport should be a must.

Georgia was married to a pro racer so it made sense. But just having British or Australian announcers for no reason is dumb.

Did they do this because Georgia was once there? Probably.

I have no doubt your last statement is true. For me, she's just nowhere near the level of Jenny Taft or Georgia Lindsay. RDL is just not working the way it is now. I'll wager that many of the upvotes on this poll are due to Kristen being an attractive young woman. I'm not going to objectify her, my comments are purely based on her performance. My wife overhears these broadcasts and has made comments about the commenting and she's not into the sport at all.

As for being better than Will....almost anyone would be better than her. Ashley Reynard was a terrific replacement last season.

On occasion and seventeen rounds are apples and oranges.

So you’re good with having Leigh Diffey then? Because he’s had a 30 year+ connection to the sport.

So you don't think it's odd that 2 of the 3 announcers on a Saturday night American Supercross are British?
I thought Daniel Blair did a Great job!

Like I said before I have nothing against Will Christian or Leigh Diffy they are very good at what they do and are true professionals.

Would it be weird to you if they were announcing baseball, football games or a rodeo?

Motocross is another deal it started in Europe and I really liked Grant Langston as an announcer as he raced overseas and here in the States earning hard fought Championships.

But Supercross was created in the LA Coliseum and I was there for the first event and Kristen Beat is about as American as you can get.
And like somebody mentioned we'd better promote her before we lose her like we have the other good ones that got away.

I mean if a non American wanted to commentate Football/Baseball/etc and they knew what they were talking about…. I’m really not sure why I should have an issue with that or care that they are not from America?

She was great. Will does a good job also. If they can do the job and on top of that are also attractive and have a nice accent? All gravy baby.

Saying she shouldn't be announcing because she's not American is JUST as bad as giving someone the job JUST because they're American.

Jenny Taft, while she was here, made our sport her basement husband. She was too good for a niche sport, and the fact she got bigger and better jobs proves it.

Side note: I'd pay an extra $5 a month to Peacock to get any combination of Weege, Blair, and Langston in the booth and trackside.

I know supercross has a very American feel (especially the crowd), but did you know:
The first supercross was held in Paris.
The first ama supercross champion was Dutch.
Supercross tracks were based on bmx, a sport invented in Belgium/Netherlands.
There are no American bike manufactures in this sport at the moment.

Cocktails are traditionally thought of as an American innovation, but they were actually at least partly inspired by British punches.

I barely ever pay attention to what anyone is saying during the broadcast, hence while I'm not crying about it every weekend....But she is super hot and I like looking at her. So ya she deserves primetime.

There is literally NO CHANCE of a non American ever hosting/commentating the NFL. Go Google what Romo, Collinsworth's bitch ass, and others are making to commentate and it would blow your mind. Romo is making more money than a majority of the guys still playing.
