Props for this video. You lost me a bit with the Degan stuff early, but the last few videos I’ve come back and checked out have been great. Makes sense now.

the reason RC in the booth never bothered me much is because its normal to be so good at one thing and horrible at a bunch of other things. i care more that the guy still stays involved in the sport and knows what he's talking about, than how he does his job now. i liked how at Southwick he says, "oh hey i fell in that same corner in 2006!" or whatever. that's cool history you wont get from a non racer who might be a good announcer. i couldn't stand the joke the 80's announcers made of the sport... sure it was funny at times, but also annoying when there was so much more to be said. you can tell if its a racer talking. just show me how to be a better racer and lets enjoy the sport we love... either watching or riding.

Awesome vid. Never really saw this side of the sport until this year. Keep making these vids! Can’t find this info anywhere else.

Hey Cook love the content, really opened my eyes with the Carmichael Blair video. Keep it up man!! 🥸

Never thought you were too negative I love your one of the only people who actually give a honest opinion on these topics. A lot of people in this sport kinda stick together on opinions and your not scared to say what others won’t. I agree with what you say 99% of the time. Keep it up man!

I get what your friend is saying about some of the hateful comments, but I also love the fact that you say what’s on your mind. You speak what you believe to be true based on your information and you’re not afraid to put it out there. Keep being yourself and keep up the good work!

I’m sure Webb will stick it to KTM every chance he gets

Awesome video drop!!! Keep them coming 🎉

Cooksey you've grown on me man. I haven't noticed anything overly negative but I respect people who can self reflect and own their shit. Good on ya my man! Keep up the good work!

I am going to venture to guess (or maybe predict the following: 1) Very soon (next week or so), Webb shows up at the GOAT farm and begins riding and testing. 2) He shows up at the SMX rounds on the Yamaha. 3) He does the Canadian WSX round (which is in Oct) as a wildcard.

I am a new moto fan this year, but not new to racing. I have noticed that in pretty much any motorsport when people are passionate about a series it can sometimes come across as negative but this is often just because they care deeply about it and want to see it succeed and bring in tons of fans. Because they observe so closely they can identify issues that casual fans might miss. They can also see the potential and are very aware of the gap between 'could be' and 'is'. Keep it up but do remember that you are kind of an ambassador to the sport. Tough love is okay. I like your videos.

I've been watching dirt bike racing since Rick Johnson era. I am a huge fan of Supercross and Outdoors. I think you're very knowledgeable in the sport and there are different layers of negativity. Letting us know some of the drama behind the curtain is good. But I think you should speak more about the event that day and the Riders. And possibly try to get interviews with the Riders. IMO. Love your show.

Hey man I appreciate the honesty and I agree with 99% of the thing you say that could make the sport better. No one else in media says these things so I think you should keep the good work up. Cheers mate. Call it like it is and I'll keep watching. You do you.

I'm guessing one of your sponsors spoke up and said something about you going in a negative direction. If that's the case then I would definitely listen to them as it seems you have. Keep up the great work,I always enjoy your videos.

Really like your content you tell it like it is basically your the bearer of bad news some people might think your negative I disagree keep up the real news!

Agree w your buddy, but your show STILL ROCKS. You didn’t scare anybody away!!!

Coop being stuck on production based suspension was a huge red flag for me. KTM didn’t wanna spend the money on his outdoor program this year.

Thanks for subbing! And thanks for watching, feel free to critique me if I cross the line into too negative.

Good job toning it down.

Here's my observation from being involved since 1970. I have seen the evolution of the motorcycles and the bikes have become so good now they don't fit in a stadium setting like they did in the 70s and 80s. Watch the races from that era compared to today. Riders are much better now too. Maybe the tracks could have obstacles like endurocross to make races more unpredictable and not be just a drag race to the first turn. But you are right about having ONE camera angle on the start with 4 or 5 bubbles naming the key riders. It's important to me to be able to watch the rider(s) on the line and their start.Changing cameras in the middle of the gate drop is SO annoying! Super slow motion of how a first turn crash develops would be cool.

Imagine if Ricky trained for tv like he did moto

Love your show Chris I think Ricky is trying to be a broadcaster instead of an analyst. Regarding Cooper Webb this is almost completely on ktm. It’s pretty low rent an not very loyal to a rider that has brought you as a company a lot of success. Star Yamaha is the benefactor of this, they will have the two most mentally tough riders in the industry in the same truck I think they will get along fine.

Hey Cookie, thanks for the videos (they take a lot of time and once they are out there, you can't take them back) :) However don't beat yourself up about it, it sounds like at the time you thought it was the way to do things. It is very easy to look for some dirt to report on, but unfortunately that is all you will find, some dirt. Most sports have a lot of politics and behind the scenes manipulating by those with the power and money. A good rule of thumb, before you say something about someone is, would you like it if they said that about you? Try and make your video titles a bit more mysterious and you will get a lot more views, you know let people think you have ALL the latest scoops and then surprise them with some amazing first-hand info, others have not reported on. Also, If you report on 2 positive things every time, soon the negativity will look silly to you and it will disappear. Overall I think you are doing a great job, keep it going :) Us Saffas don't get to down on ourselves, because in our country we don't have half the opportunities you have in the states.

I'm sorry to hear about the negative energy in your life, I'm going through it too, stand tall brother. Do you think we see a better and faster Cooper, at star Yamaha? This seems to be the twilight of his career, he obviously wasn't happy in the KTM tent, but I don't think Webb is the kind of guy to sabotage his results, especially after going back to the baker factory. So, did we not know at the time that 2021 was his peak? Maybe Yamaha is a better fit, but I have a hard time picturing Cooper getting much better results, especially with all the new talent in the class. Not to mention, Tomac's coming back at some point, I don't know that coopers going to find the story book ending that he may be searching for.

It’s nice to see some top guys “revolting” a bit. ET didn’t like the kawi, they didn’t wanna change it so he leaves. But on the same bubble with CW and KR. Teams are gonna start being more flexible with the riders over sponsors?

Who cares wat others think…. Make your videos how you feel and wanna do them. I rather watch or hear someone’s true opinion on how they feel. Vs someone making videos on how there think you should make em. I didn’t think the vids came off negative at all. You are just speaking how you truly feel. Don’t be fake to get views. Get more views being real with the truth.

I understand both sides of RC qualifying things he says as an opinion. I consider it, him qualifying, being unnecessary because anything he says is his opinion, feelings, truth, whatever you wanna call it. It doesn’t bother me either way though. I’m sure it doesn’t bother a lot of other people and others I’m sure it does. It obviously bothers you or you wouldn’t have brought it up and that’s perfectly fine. If everyone thought the same then the world would be a dull Fn place! 🤘🏻

@seanhaberman4619

Жыл бұрын

It's way more than the qualifying thing. He hit on some other issues that go along with it and I think he settled on that phrase because he was struggling to articulate what his issue was. The problem with Ricky in the booth is he never says anything that isn't completely white washed and insincere. He does this absolutely cringey thing where he tries to build up these riders that are getting their asses handed to them and just panders to everyone's feelings. He sounds like a little league broadcaster handing out 'atta boys to children. There are races where everyone can see a guy is having problems and Ricky refuses to say anything about it, he makes weird long winded excuses for them and refuses to say anything of meaning. Then there's the irrelevant anecdotes he tries to tie in to every broadcast instead of commentating on the race. He gets lost in his own thoughts while he should be giving us play by play. He could easily identify where guys are losing time or where they could make a pass but he doesn't want to step on anyone's toes or say anything negative because he's just a corporate guy now. He's completely owned by the promoters of the sport and won't say anything that might come across as negative. That's why James telling Chase to tuck the front wheel was so great. It was an honest take that may not have been nice but was at least genuine. Stewart talks about the race like a racer. Motocross hasn't been screwed up by the no child left behind everyone gets a trophy bull shit that other sports have in this country. There's respect in motocross, but it's an individual sport where your results are what earn you that respect. It's not like baseball or football where every bench warmer gets the same trophy as the star of the team. Go watch mxgp and listen to their commentators, they talk about the race and how the riders are doing in it. They tell you who is doing good, who isn't, and try to give you the reason why. It's much better than Ricky handing out pats on the back while he talks about the good old days.

Idk why dudes got such a hard on for Carmichael. RC isn’t supposed to be the perfect speaker, he’s there to tell us what’s happening. Which he does well. He’s more qualified than anyone to talk about riding dirt bikes. Blair and Stew are both awesome, no negatives there. But RC is also doing a fine job.

"The phrase 'nice guys finish last' is an idiom that means people who behave in a fair and pleasant way will not be successful in a competitive situation."

Coopers contract is either unconditional release or it isn’t.

Cooksey is spot on regarding Carmicheal.
