Official 2017 Supercross Thread

^^^Yeah, lol too many times Ralph or Jeff will be commentating on a rider and then that rider will make a mistake! That wall into sand was kinda silly. ET3 def got the hard charger award.

 

I was a little bummed seeing reed slide out. I was like NO! he was doing so well.

 

Anyone else get really annoyed at Ralph's commentating sometimes? Lol some of the stuff he says I'm just like, do u even ride bro? Haha

 

Anymore I just watch it on mute... I couldn't stand Ralph Shitheel and his constant banter about nothing and trying to force a conversation with whoever he announces with just drives me to drink and yell at my tv.

 

He is pretty annoying. He for sure sounds like a non-rider who learned some of the lingo. It is probably fine for the casual fan but to a rider / enthusiast, you are rolling your eyes as he talks, for sure lol.

 

I'm just watching dirt bikes and hold my breath when someone is about to pass.

 

Jeremy Martin will ride Roczen's 450 at Daytona. That should be good for him. That is a track where he should feel right at home. Plus, it is a glimpse of what we will see next year, when he makes the jump full-time. I'm going out on a limb here and saying he will be top-10 this weekend.

 

Ralph must have naked pics of someone cause he sucks ass in the booth. I would love to announce a race.
Straight cussing and I would make motorcycle sounds too. Calling out great passes and squid moves.
I think they should do more pit interviews too. Especially after someone gets taken out. That would make for
good TV. "Damn, did you just see that mother f*cker wheelie through the whoops like a boss"

 

I definitely agree with the more pit interviews... I wish they'd talk to more than just the winners of the heat races too

 

If they do, they need to stop all of the robotic sponsor babble. No one cares what 10 companies sponsor the team. I wish when the guys talked, they would just have a graphic or pitboard up to give their appropriate sponsors their exposure but let the guys talk regularly. It is currently so uninteresting and makes for horrible tv. I realize the sponsors need their props but they need to figure out a different way of doing it. Every rider interview is just a list of companies and the same boring response.

 

I agree with That, but when a company shells out alot of money, rhey need a return.

 

I want to thank Red Bull while I drink water out of my Red Bull water bottle.
I want to my mechanic and team for setting up a great bike. I want to tank Fox,
Oakely, Alpinestars, Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, KTM, and Yamaha. I love you guys.

 

You forgot The Lord, Jesus Christ (who I guess decided he hated all the other guys that night.

 

Yea it does get kinda old... No need for a sign tho, their jersey tells the whole story! They're covered in sponsor logos. I like it when the guys actually kinda relax and just talk instead of the rehearsed lingo.

 

Speaking of terrible announcers. How the f*ck did these guy ever get a TV role is beyond me.
Talk about hitting the Red Bull black token guy announcer jack pot. Sal Masekela has got to be
the worst announcer ever. I hope this guy goes to bed every night knowing how lucky he is.

 

That would be a killer idea for a new style of media commentary to pop up. No way a channel on cable would have uncensored sports interviews. ESPN and Fox are too clean for that. Start off with a YouTube channel and let it grow. There has to be a demand for hearing what goes on in the background of all this. Keep the advertising subtle so it flows. That would require one hell of a smart sports broadcaster.

 

Just left my house for the weekend a few hours ago and realized I forgot to set SX to record tomorrow!

 

I have mine set to auto record ANYTHING with motorcycles. I spend almost every Saturday night away on ski trips and then watch the races during the week. Its real hard to avoid instagram and this thread till i watch the race.

 

I just came here to post: Anyone who DVR's the races, double-check your schedule! Mine is set to record all new episodes and this one did not even register as a "skipped".

 

I hope that's not true. I already left for the evening and won't be home to change my recording.
