I'm sticking up for Cooksey here. He has been sucking for a while along with the camera work and lets not even mention I usually can't read jersey numbers .... or the horrible sound quality.
I’m sick of all the side stories and drama bs when the race is going on. Just call the race. Don’t cut to Will or JT in the middle of a battle. Just call the race
@@SamPaulson-we7of I know, they’re trying to add complexity and storylines like a football broadcast but it’s not the same sport. Constant action vs. 10 second plays then 2 minutes of standing around. During the race, call the race. They can spend 30 minutes bench racing after the lcq instead of “science of sx” garbage
I like James, but I listen to his podcast and he's a little uneducated too. Makes up a lot of his own words. Sometimes I think he's doing it on purpose, but..... I don't know.
Langston was great with Weege for the outdoor seasons, which is what I prefer watching anyway. The way some of these announcers are practically yelling is cringe. Ralph Sheheen...
Ricky as got more talent on a bike than majority of us but commentating isn't the best Langston was brilliant until they shat on him over the covid situation such a shame for the sport
I can agree with some of the things you say but calling him a moron and a bumbling idiot is uncalled for. Also, accusing him of drinking whiskey on the job without any proof is a Friese move if I ever saw one. I'm not a Ricky fan-boy but there's a way to express your opinion without getting nasty.
@@waynekavanagh745 Not really. I know plenty of people that often trip over their words if they don’t take their time and it has nothing to do with alcohol. Some people are just like that. I can be that way because my brain is 10 words ahead of my mouth sometimes.
I think Stew is equally painful to listen to. He's trying too hard to create a false image. J7 is the kinda guy that would spend the day at the track serious and focused and might never smile even while watching, but because he's on screen, he's gotta sound happy, excited, upbeat, enthusiastic and smile. I think he'd do much better in full blown serious analysis mode. He sounds like an Olympic snowboarder showed up to visit and they want his impressions of the sport.
Good for them, I would rather bring my honest opinions than to be a puppet for a rich Circus wrangler. Hopper thinks he can make change by playing along, I have already had a press pass and I it’s not worth the compromise.
FYI I think it’s badass that you speak what you want to, I can respect that, my mouth gets me in all kinds of shit because I speak my mind too 😂 99 percent of the time I agree with you 👍
Hopper is going in the right direction, he still pushes and mostly deals with facts not opinions. He knows where the line is so ultimately going to be able to make more of a difference once he is more established.
I don’t mind Ricky, doesn’t piss me off anyway, but I do miss Emig. Really enjoy Bubba’s analysis when he jumps in the booth too. James does a surprisingly great job live.
Emig was way better too! When someone else describes what's going on in the race or in the pits, he always repeats it like it was his to begin with. It's annoying! What up Cooksey!
I have respect for Ricky he might not be the best speaker but he knows what he’s talking about I think he’s doing just fine he will get better with time
If you watch replays of old races w/RC in the booth right after he retired it was so much better. He didn't try to act like an announcer, he was just saying a few words from his perspective as a racer that directly applied to JS and CR who he had raced for years. Love him but he's frustrating to hear in the booth, tries too hard imo.
On his podcast with villipoto, he does so much better and is actually very knowledgeable and easy to listen to. But then he opens his mouth on supercross, and it’s like he’s an announcer in the special Olympics.
I have more of an issue with Will, as soon as she begins speaking I mute it, she shrieks, and always begins with " I spoke to them earlier".....seriously, the girl needs to go back to the land down under and commentate a women's volleyball league.
James Stewart does an amazing job as a color announcer. He's so comfortable with himself and isn't afraid to share his personal point of view, which is great and sometimes pretty funny.
Outdoors last year was atrocious! I think he is just uncomfortable in front of the camera way too much! Hence the stuttering, mixing up peoples first names and last names....
Dude, my friend and I were laughing so hard when he kept saying "points". Sounded like the audio was skipping. Anyways the only ones worth listening to are Weege and JT.
You disagree and dislike him, but ending up calling him idiot, moron, etc. Not sure why? Difference between critics and basically hate. But hey everybody got a diff in opinions.
What is your beef with Ricky? We have had many announcers stubble on there words over the years? He did so much for this sport and you want to cut him down everytime.
The other weekend he called kitchen “Eli kitchen” 🤣 I had to rewind that race just to make sure I heard right. It’s insane how often he fucks names up. I could see maybe messing up a privateer who isn’t known but you can’t mess up the biggest names.
The dude never finished school. It’s crazy we are letting a guy who just knows how to ride a dirtbike fast and nothing else announce a live event. He’s great at one thing, but he sacrificed his education and everything you need to be a competent adult in life for his racing and this unfortunately is the result. You also tell he’s trying to stay relevant and has serious insecurities with himself.
Everytime RC talks I say shut up Ricky 😂 ‘So he just went round a corner there. And the reason I say he went around the corner there is because he rode round the corner’ etc. Yeah erm thanks for explaining that RC 😆😂
Yeah, we have to agree. We NOTICE the bad commentary, so you aren't alone. Some people are just good at this, others are LIKE ME and can't do this. We just don't have that gift for rapid commentary, we forget names, we're looking in the wrong spots all the time, we're just not good at it. But WE KNOW IT. Yes, on Jeff Emig. He was awesome. He was GOOD at it, but had to work extra hard because of his stutter. Yeah, it's TIME for Ricky to stick to running a team or something else. Justin Brayton is a natural at it. And Adam C is going to be fantastic at it one day. He's got that natural gift.
Im was homeschooled. GFYS on that comment. While yes, some homeschooled students lack because they chose to focus on a sport versus studying, don't generalize all homeschooled into the idiot category.
I'm right there with you! I spend half of the broadcast yelling "shut up Ricky!" He's the worst commentator I can remember. I think Ralph Sheheen and Daniel Blair together would be the best! Love both of those guys' commentary. Anything but Ricky
Aside from all the hearsay.. I really enjoy listening to Ricky charmichal announce races. I like to hear from the GOAT what he's seeing on the track. I did love Fro, David Blair, and Langston too. I've got no problem with Ricky in the booth though!!
I think it’s important to have the greatest riders still involved in the broadcast, still the face of the sport so to speak. I hated it when Stewart just stopped racing and fell off the public stage completely. Villipoto and Dungey did the same thing. Having the all-time greats there every week brings an authenticity to the broadcast that a good speaker just can’t in my opinion. Ricky’s not a great speaker but the other broadcast members are and that’s good enough for me.
RC is the customer service guy who tells you whatever the hell comes to mind, regardless if it is correct, just to have something to say and they’ll never simply say “they don’t know” or simply be quiet when they don’t need to be heard
THANK YOU!!!. I have been waiting for this video. Arizona was especially BAD. Diff and RC were the WORST combo thus far. They bring out the bad in eachother. There were several times that neither one spoke and there was awkward dead silence. I was literally talking to my TV for them to say something!!
I am pretty sensitive to some audible sounds that “trigger” me and I had to literally mute the 250 main because he was sucking on something the entire time. Glad that was pointed out.
I think they need JS in there full time, he kills it’s. Even my girlfriend (who isn’t really a fan of the sport but does watch with me) can’t stand listening to RC talk. She’s told me that if she pays too much attention to the words he’s saying she’ll get a headache lol.
In my opinion what makes a good announcer in any specific sport is that he can point out instances of what the racer maybe thinking or why a racer responded a certain way in live time: because in Ricky's case has that experience. It's obvious that those attributes aren't important to Cooksie. Cooksie is just worried about how the words come out not necessarily the message.
Personally I like RC in the booth. But I also see what you're saying lol I wish he wasn't afraid to piss people off. He's the GOAT he's got a pass to say whatever.
I watched arena cross a couple weeks back… Three announcers. Ping, another guy, and one gal down on the track…it was great and chill! SX could learn a lot from those broadcasts.
The things you had to say about RC in the booth made me chuckle, too, Cooksey! I don't think Ricky's completely terrible, but just when I think he's getting better, he says something that puts him back to square one. It's the job RC does that makes me so pissed that Jeff Emig got clipped from the booth, because I FREAKING LOVED JEFF EMIG IN THE BOOTH!! I'm a little surprised though you left out David Bailey and Denny Stephenson for good TV analysts (just saying). I'd rather have someone out there like Emig or Bailey or Stephenson than Ricky any day of the week! Keep 'em coming, Cooksey!
@@lylesommers5018 At first, I liked Jeff Emig in the booth because he was a guy I remembered watching. Ralph was not terrible, but he got much better from 2006 on when Supercross moved to SPEED Channel.
I passed Ricky on the highway after unadilla this year and my daughter spotted him. He wouldn't even give us a wave he just sped up and totally ignored us.
I don't mind him really, it's mostly just back ground noise for me I barely listen to them. I focus on the racing, looking at times and positions to see who is moving up and down. I couldn't tell you a single thing he said after the race
Yup, it’s hilarious watching grown ass dudes crying about this shit non stop. I get why the channel does it. Negative videos are the ones that get major views. But these people that seem like they are watching the broadcast purely just to shit on RC is just funny AF. Bunch of manchilds 😂. I’m watching the race and don’t even hear the announcers. 11mins of complaining about one single dude and these people eat it up lol.
I like your takes on Ricky and see where you are coming from, but being homeschooled my self, and being into many sports like dirtbikes, basketball, and soccer, I don't see why you used probably being home schooled as one of you pionts. Besides that I love the videos and am glad I can get some inside knowledge and other perspectives on things.
I'm a friend of Ricky's you hit the nail on the head. He paid his dues in full to be the goat when Greg Albertyn just absolutely freight trained his head that was like getting knocked out by Mike Tyson 10 times in a month. That's why nobody else bashes him because they know it's multiple concussion issues. Thanks for bringing that to people's attention.
This is the first time i've heard anyone speak the truth about RC's ADHD and i hope its not the last. Please make this a weekly review because R.C. is a distraction to the show. . and the show much go on.
Cooksey is right. RC isn't showing out for our sport in a positive light. For the sport to progress it needs professionals announcing. He's stumbling all over the place. Let's grow the sport properly.
Chris, I gotta correct you on this one. Statistically Home Schooled kids are more articulate and more socially adapted that others. Maybe helicopter mom or dad is where you meant to go.
Ricky has you losing sleep, I grew up racing the guy definitely not a big fan but damn, did he screw your old lady or what. Should stick to the racing a bit more and not Karen dumb Ricky
After watching this video and reading all these comments, I must be the odd one out. I enjoy Ricky on the broadcast. Maybe because I was such a huge fan back when he was racing, I dunno.
Emig is the man considering the troubles he had with speech when he was younger, he must have worked so hard to become so great in the booth! Bring him back .
I loved this video! Your honesty is refreshing. When I watch these races, I secretly look forward to the "Ricky Carmichael-isms" because they are hilarious. Horrendous and hilarious. I guess being horrendous and hilarious at the same time makes him dynamic! haha 😆
RC living rent free in Cooksey's head
Haha! 😂
LOL yes he is! Haters gonna hate.
I'm sticking up for Cooksey here. He has been sucking for a while along with the camera work and lets not even mention I usually can't read jersey numbers .... or the horrible sound quality.
Fact!
He told no lies though
Weege should be our main announcer. He's got a true passion for the sport and is a true fan. He knows the history from riders to racers to mechanics.
For the love of the game
He is so articulate that it amuses me sometimes...he's the best.
Yup. He's just GOT THAT GIFT.
Weege in the booth yea.
Absolutely
Weege handled him well. Tossing him yes or no questions and not letting him ramble.
Weege is smart
Agree, Weege works well with him
Yes. I wish Weege was in the booth every weekend. Weege & Daniel Blair be a good combo.
@@cfarm85they are the bomb!
He's been open about this. Dumb to hire a guy that wants the whole thing to burn down.
I click on these and then wonder why I did it.
Well said bro.. Im with you
His so butt hurt...
Same
same
Same 😂
David Bailey was the very best at this. Everyone after him, year after year, just verifies that for me.
I'm not really into deadpan milquetoast Justin Brayton either. Hell, ALL of 'em!
Hmm? Brayton is ok. But that is qualifying, not main event. Got no prob with JB.@@vintagemxer9165
"Milquetoast" -- you nailed it.
Bailey pissed off too many people by saying it the way it is. I wish they would bring him back
Get Bob Hannah in there @@mathmark100
I’m sick of all the side stories and drama bs when the race is going on. Just call the race. Don’t cut to Will or JT in the middle of a battle. Just call the race
for real and its always during a battle or pass
That’s not Carmichael’s call to cut to a side story though…. That’s the production team making those bullshit decisions

I would gladly pay an extra $10 per month for Peacock if they provided an option to mute the broadcasters' mics.
They do - It’s called the mute button on your remote.
I’ve been saying it for decades!
@@TheFullKananihear the bikes and the race without the commentary
I disagree Cooksey, he was good, but not the best. Especially in both!
@@TheFullKanani Then you can’t hear anything else, it’s just the talking over the sounds of the race I want muted.
Dude, you couldn't sound more petty. You can always find an issue with someone you don't like, this is just turning sad on your end.
Sad but true..lmao
Bang on cuz this bloke bores the shit out of me now not interested in that channel
Id rather have James Stewart, Daniel Blair,
and AC
@@silkynormal5034that would be a killer trio
Blair FTW!
Love JS7 podcast but he was horrible at A1, that would explain why we haven't seen him back.
Live TV doesn't allow him to be himself
DB and Weege would be excellent!
I got my dad to watch supercross this past weekend and when I asked him what he thought of it he said the announcers were terrible
Langston is probably one of the best in my opinion. James Stewart is also good as is Emig.
James in the booth is great. His breakdowns are awesome
I like James, but I listen to his podcast and he's a little uneducated too. Makes up a lot of his own words. Sometimes I think he's doing it on purpose, but..... I don't know.

I have to say respect to ricky for his racing skills. His announcing is horrendous and its very distracting.
RC's racing skills are crap. He hasn't won a race in forever.
And your skills must

Yes Stewart Is good

One race, he continued to confuse Hunter with Jett, not once, which would be fine, but THE WHOLE FREAKING NIGHT. It was driving me crazy.
Whole freaking season in 23

James is good!
What I'm hearing from this comment is everybody else is better than Ricky I just don't care about Ricky
"I see he's taking different lines, going inside, outside."
😂😂😂😂😂😂
"All season long" in the first couple of races 😂
Aaaaarrrgggg!!!make it stop!
"Just because you can play doesn't mean you can coach" Same theory.Some ones Triggered!
coach rob can coach though... just ask him.😂
Is this Cooksey channel dedicated to dissing Carmichael?Because that’s all I’ve seen here
Yep
Emig was way better too! When someone else describes what's going on in the race or in the pits, he always repeats it like it was his to begin with. It's annoying! What up Cooksey!
That's his narcissistic tendencies showing through. What up Bobby B!!!
Emig is a class act. Emig and loud mouth Ralph were a great combo.
Loved Emig and Ralph. Ricky is great racer but announcer is different skill set. Langston, Thomas, and Weiget all have more insightful commentary.
I have respect for Ricky he might not be the best speaker but he knows what he’s talking about I think he’s doing just fine he will get better with time
He has not...and time marches on.
The show is about the race..not someone talking
I don't think he will ! Never mind the best speaker, he's not even a good speaker

I think he was told to fill the dead air with SOMETHING but it's also his voice. 😖
Yeah, RC sounds fine when he’s on podcast but when he tries to put on the announcer voice during the broadcast he just sounds ridiculous
You are absolutely right! It didn't used to be this bad
On his podcast with villipoto, he does so much better and is actually very knowledgeable and easy to listen to. But then he opens his mouth on supercross, and it’s like he’s an announcer in the special Olympics.

And I don’t believe you on this. Dude is a well known asshole and dbag. That’s why a ton of people hate him.
I don't mind him really, it's mostly just back ground noise for me I barely listen to them. I focus on the racing, looking at times and positions to see who is moving up and down. I couldn't tell you a single thing he said after the race
Yup, it’s hilarious watching grown ass dudes crying about this shit non stop. I get why the channel does it. Negative videos are the ones that get major views. But these people that seem like they are watching the broadcast purely just to shit on RC is just funny AF. Bunch of manchilds 😂. I’m watching the race and don’t even hear the announcers. 11mins of complaining about one single dude and these people eat it up lol.
I will listen to the entire video, but anyone who doesn't think RC is the absolute diarrhea craps of announcing, is a dolt.
Dolt, always liked that word
He is always talking about a racer giving someone "elbow grease", completely using that wrong. WTF?
Come on cooksie. The whole RC thing is becoming very walty like 🤦♂️. That guy is a muppet. Dont become a muppet
Cooksly is like a 13 year old girl reporting on her jr high.Embarassing.
Yet you watched and commented.
Why has there been no attempt at bringing in Bailey again. ?
He hasn't been asked, and he does not want to be on camera anymore.
I miss Ralph and Emig. I would gladly take Weege and Blair in the booth though.
Ralph and Jeff were a great combo
I like your takes on Ricky and see where you are coming from, but being homeschooled my self, and being into many sports like dirtbikes, basketball, and soccer, I don't see why you used probably being home schooled as one of you pionts. Besides that I love the videos and am glad I can get some inside knowledge and other perspectives on things.
Well said JonnyL
"Prolly home schooled" wtf is that 🤦♂️🤡
I'm sure Ricky has concussion issues.
I'm a friend of Ricky's you hit the nail on the head. He paid his dues in full to be the goat when Greg Albertyn just absolutely freight trained his head that was like getting knocked out by Mike Tyson 10 times in a month. That's why nobody else bashes him because they know it's multiple concussion issues. Thanks for bringing that to people's attention.
"Please allow myself to explain myself"..😂
I’d honestly take Matthes over RC 😂
Mathes for president
I just puked
I AGREE!!!!!
This is the first time i've heard anyone speak the truth about RC's ADHD and i hope its not the last. Please make this a weekly review because R.C. is a distraction to the show. . and the show much go on.
Cooksey is right. RC isn't showing out for our sport in a positive light. For the sport to progress it needs professionals announcing. He's stumbling all over the place. Let's grow the sport properly.
Great point!
David Bailey and Art Eckman were the best
I agree 100%. Half of the words out of RC's mouth are stupid. DB is my favorite, but Justin Brayton is better too.
Chris, I gotta correct you on this one. Statistically Home Schooled kids are more articulate and more socially adapted that others. Maybe helicopter mom or dad is where you meant to go.
Of course they ran out DB, GL and others, they know what they’re talking about and speak well
Ricky sucks!!! I love hearing your thoughts on him!! How do we get him fired?!?!?!
I think if he had a voice changer it would help.
Ricky has you losing sleep, I grew up racing the guy definitely not a big fan but damn, did he screw your old lady or what. Should stick to the racing a bit more and not Karen dumb Ricky
Ricky does need to go
After watching this video and reading all these comments, I must be the odd one out. I enjoy Ricky on the broadcast. Maybe because I was such a huge fan back when he was racing, I dunno.
“It’s Saturday night they brought whatever game they got” 😂
They should replace him with McGrath. He was a commentator before and did great
Right -- two years ago, McGrath and Rick Johnson joined Weigandt for an outdoor at Pala, I think it was. It was fantastic.
@@DS-oi4wl right..he did some supercross too. RC gotta go
Me and my brother make a drinking game out of it. Hammered before we even finish heats. 😂
I guess Ricky forgot to bring his a game to the booth lol
Emig is the man considering the troubles he had with speech when he was younger, he must have worked so hard to become so great in the booth! Bring him back .
Weege is the man for the job
I loved this video! Your honesty is refreshing. When I watch these races, I secretly look forward to the "Ricky Carmichael-isms" because they are hilarious. Horrendous and hilarious. I guess being horrendous and hilarious at the same time makes him dynamic! haha 😆
Weege and stew would be good
You ever heard the phrase "its easy to spt a red car if your always looking for a red car"?
Did you seriously use that in this instance? 😂
Cooksey, you sure hit all your marks with this video 😂 I think you gave the GOAT the “business” !
Remember when he used to say: “He’s got alottttt of wood to chop coming back from 15th” 🤣😂
We need Blaire and AC in the booth
I hate it when Ricky uses any of these: "uncharacteristic", "hold on to it buddy", "I rather be in 2nd place", "inside, outside".
