Can we say unanimously that they are doing a great job?

I'm impressed, Grant reminds me of Bailey a little in how he calls the race. I have a tendency to ignore the announcers in many sports, but I enjoy listening top them.

Great job guys.

Did you hear Langston talking about the steam engine or diesel engine once you get it going blah bla my god that was painful. They were arguing about the 2nd 450 holeshot again painful to hear. On a side note I think Georgia got a boob job?

Langston knows his shit like Bailey does. (Bailey is still the commentator God though)

Langston called that dislocated shoulder instantly. Very first thing he said.

Hes a racer and he knows what he is looking at, great job Grant.

PS....he mentioned himself racing Southwick that year way back when with a dislocated shoulder. I was at that race. Then BAM an hour later Eli pops his. Ironic.

I prefer Daniel Blair, he killed it calling the Vegas SX and I hear he may be in the booth for Monster Cup.

Utmost respect for the Zulu Warrior- I was at Steel City when his rear wheel disintegrated on his KTM 125, and Mike Brown won the title.. Grant was devastated needless to say, and basically broke down emotionally. Being a foreigner, you would have thought that the fans would swarm Brown in cheers, but it was very different. Tons of fans seem to console Langston on the off camber where his bike stopped... Won a lot of people over that day.

Guy never gave up- Great career, great view point as a commentator!

Yeah. I'm there with you guys. Weege and Langy are a-ok in my books. The only issue I had was the diesel over and over again. lmao.

I don't think she did. She's a classy good looking girl naturally. I hope she wouldn't go do something like that.

Yeah, the arguing got a little old today. The Diesel crap is lame too. Somebody can come up with something better. Leave the comedy to the pros.Pinch

Weege and Langston are doing a great job! They give great insight and know all of the riders.

Also Langston is not afraid to give commentary, good or bad, which is the job of the color commentator. Whether its James Stewart or a Lapper, he gives an honest outlook. I feel like the SX crew is scared to say anything negative. Fro is great at dancing ....around questions and rider critique.

Weege carries Langston the whole show. Yes they work good together but GL is make to look better because Weege is the man. Bet we loss him to NASCAR

By far the best team in the MX business. Wish they would do SX also.

What do you guys not like about Langston? He brings a lot of knowledge and humor, and he flows well.

I find him a little bit smug at times, he often calls things wrong and I don't... particularly like... the way... his sentences.... become stop start... when he gets... a little... worked up... and excited.

I don't dislike the guy, he was a great rider so he obviously knows what he's talking about, but there's something about him and his style of presenting that I struggle to warm too.

Luckily the world is not ending and I'm sure I can cope with it though Smile

"Jeremy Herlings " summed up Langston for meAngry

He gives some good knowledge on set ups but offers nothing really on the riders,teams,race history,bikes,injuries etc,Weigandt is good and keeps the commentry upbeat but I like listening to Malin's knowledge,it shows he moves around the paddock to gather as much info as he can.I appreciate he has more time and does the interviews etc

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of Grant either. I appreciate that he's very good on a technical level i.e why a rider crashed etc, but for some reason he just grates the rest of the time. These things aren't easy to define but I think it's because I prefer the 2nd commentator to be a little more subtle like David Bailey or Adam Wheeler etc. Of course each to their own. The broadcast is free and I certainly don't feel strongly about it one way or the other.
