Is it just this sport or is it every sport? They all do it.

It’s called language and cultural influence.  People use it to communicate and relate to one another.  Language evolves and people pick and choose which parts of language they identify with then use what makes sense to them. These kids are decades younger than you I presume.  They probably do lots of things differently than you.

 

the terms and phrases people use in any interest, hobby, group etc is “silly” to the next person. (Ie. I hit that triple from the outside in 4th wide open is a silly statement to someone who doesn’t get it)  It’ll be ok.  Relax and let people communicate differently than you.

Fair enough. English isn't my native language, but what still bothers me is the insane usage of "like". It's "like" they don't know any other words these days.

Bit different, I think almost anyone knows what wide open means, and as far as from the outside or 4th, that should be obvious by context, it's not like it's some ridiculous moto specific nomenclature, though I kind of get what you mean.

Saying "yeah, no..." and "like" every 3.4 seconds shouldn't really be considered "motocross speak" or sport specific language like maybe your triple example (although again I'd argue that isn't really some kind of moto-jive, calling three mounds of dirt a triple is pretty logical). It's just a little dumb regardless of age.

Not picking a fight man, difference of opinion I guess 👍

Put a person in front of a camera and put a mic in their face and their IQ tends to drop considerably. Happened to me once where a reporter on the street was asking me grammar questions and it felt like everything I knew on the topic was just gone. I'm a genius when I'm sitting at home on my couch - especially after a few beers!

It's really eye opening when you read a transcript of what you said thinking you were smooth, lucid, and clever.

Like most American factory guys saying “yeah…” a lot when being interviewed. Ferrandis didn’t do that when he first came here, neither did Musquin…but they’ve been here long enough to adopt the vocabulary of the guys they spend time with.
