This is absolutely cringeworthy. As good as RC was on a bike, he's that bad on the mic.

They cut to RC after he tried to make his way to the Joker lane and he couldn't even catch his breath. LaughingLaughingLaughing

I almost feel sorry for RC because I know he’s had to work through some tough times, but my goodness he’s awful at this.

It’s also pretty amazing to see RC next to Chad who by outward appearance appears to be very fit and embarking on yet another season of racing while RC has long since retired.

As for the press conference in general, I wish they wouldn’t try to do it live and look so terrible. As cheap as it would be, a choreographed and recorded event wouldn’t make the “sport” look so amateurish.

Something has to give. We are falling behind the rest of the world with traditional moto and supercross is becoming more and more of a circus every year.

Nobody outside of fans of this sport and other riders are watching any of this, so it doesn't matter.

Hmmm. I guess Monster doesn’t want it aired. Every single link is just the monster logo for 33 minutes. There isn’t any footage.
That’s just a reupload of the stream. They go live for a while to get the stream up and running before the actual show starts.

Fast forward to 11:50, where it actually begins.

Jesus Christ, here we go already with the announcer shaming threads. Are you going to be ok after watching that? Did Ricky's shoes match his outfit??

They cut to RC with Malcolm Stewart except he was with no one and couldn’t find Malcolm so they cut back to jason Anderson who talked about winning a truck for 3 hole shots except Ralph just said it was $10k for 3 hole shots.

Just get rid of Ralph. It s his actual job to be good at it . Fro and RC have to have been high level riders at one stage too. So they get more leeway from me

It was fine. Just be glad we get a bit more insight in the race and racers.

It looked fine to me. I wasn't expecting an On Any Sunday remake. I learned from it.
