Should I go ahead and mute the MotoAmerica streaming?

Yes Mute! I will say it... The only one worth listening too is Pridemore... the others especially the Brit suck. And are annoying as hell.. even when they get the riders right...

 

I don't get the hating on any of the announcers, don't mind any of them that much. They're all human, trying their best I'm sure.

Of coarse most guys on here are married or dating a super model so the standards are high.

 

What about at a WERA race?

 

We will just have to agree to disagree on this point.

I know they are the track announcers, but this on-demand feed changes everything, and I feel they should adjust their announcing accordingly. If they feel the need to announce a lost cell phone, there has to be a better time to announce it. Those kinds of things should be done during the downtime between races, when nobody is on track. That part won’t be on the on-demand feed.

When it’s race time, the focus should be on the racers/racing.

Also, while not knowing everyone personally is understandable, especially in the first weekend, stating you “have no idea who any of these guys are” on air is not.

 

On-demand is the only thing that works for me.

 

If someone wanted to play a drinking game during a WSBK race, they could have to take a drink every time the announcer said “step forward”.

I can’t count how many times he talks about someone taking a step forward, or how they need to make that next step forward, etc.

 

Is there not a seperate PA system for the paddock at most of the tracks?

 

It they were trying their best they would know who is who.... I can understand not in the la ge fielded twins class but when there are 9 Superbikes give me. A break... At Road America a couple years back We actually moved away to where there was not a PA over our heads.. Green I think was horrendous... Especially when just talking about the foreign riders all weekend.. nahh he’s not biased...

 

No.

The on-demand feed picks up with the riders are on track.

That in-between race time is when they should make announcements about cell phones and shit.

 

Tell you what...if GMC's crew announced the races, it would be a higher quality broadcast that pulled its weight...and Roy would be happy.

 

why is that? You are using the internet for it right? Sling is just a streaming service. Its pretty much basic cable but in HD and $20 a month. During winter I turn off the sports package. You can add or remove these at no charge and they're on or off right away.
beIN lets you watch the MotoGP and sbk races on demand if you missed it. Motoamerica went with FS2 this year and they don't have this option. But sling has DVR. You can watch it on your phone or cast it to a tv

 

Been there, not the easiest thing to deal with.

 

Maybe this year... but not last.. I am sure others will. Chime in... MotoAmerica even had their Pics wrong in their riders bios... Showed Beach as Lewis a year or so ago... Pro racing should be Professional. Especially when we are trying to put it higher on the map here in the US.. I will quit my negative nanny comments now... sorry..

 

Yeah FS2 is pretty shitty to be honest.

 

MotoGP posted a video yesterday that said "Repsol Yamaha". Shit happens.
