SX Race Companion (for those who don't like the FS1 broadcast team)

Well that could actually be pretty cool, so long as there’s no delay between the two broadcasts

Cool idea actually going to try this

Cool. Do you have to have a Facebook account or can you just watch it?

Good idea. I enjoy Ralph and Fro but any mention of Eckman/Bailey gets my attention.

Question. Will this be available archived on the OTB podcast? That would be cool to re-listen to. I used to do that with the Weege/Holley audio webcast.

Wow, i was not notified of anything!

that is a great idea.... thanks.

i knew i couldn't be alone in realizing that you can call a race and have a colour commentator... and not think you have to talk to people like they're ignorant.

when was the last time an nfl commentator explained first down and ten?

humans are pretty smart if you give'm a chance.

Damn. Im gunna be at a bar watching the sx but id give it a listen. you going to do it for any other rounds?

For those interested, Jeff and Mike's Race Companion is now up on the OTB podcast to listen to. I, personally, like Ralph and Fro but still have always wanted the Supercross audio webcast back with Damiani/Holley then Weege/Holley because it was for the hardcore fans like us. I'd always listen to the archives thru the week as I travel all week and it's a great way to listen to the race even after seeing it.

THIS is probably as close as I'll get to that. I thank Jeff and Mike and think they did a great job. Hope to have this all season long.

I am all in for this.

Finally a alternative to listening to Emig & Barf.

Well, Emig doesnt bother me.

Sampled different parts of the replay podcast. Good stuff throughout. I'll look forward to listening live while in the garage wrenching or driving somewhere. Also, would be cool to listen to this if you're at the race too.

What we need, is a little Larry Huffman. Man that dude really got into the evening race action.

Thanks, Jeff. Both of you do an excellent job. Especially for your first race companion. Mike Garrison is really on an elite find for pbp. He is very much in an Eckman/Damiani/Weege vibe. Which is a huge compliment. You guys have hit on something here that I've wanted for years since the audio webcast was taken off and I wish you guys success.

Really nice to get in depth pbp and analysis. In most cases, in sports, radio broadcasts are generally more detailed. I enjoy that and I understand Ralph and Fro have to cater more to everyone where you guys can cater to the hardcore fans. That is awesome.

bumpity-bump!

I do have a question as I wasn't able to check it out last weekend. How was the syncing of the FB stream to the FS1 broadcast for those who tried it? I'm looking forward to trying it out tonight.

Thank you Jeff & Mike for coming up with this, it's brilliant and definitely needed!!!

I totally like Ralph and Fro but let's be honest. It's their job to cater to the casual and new fan more than the obsessed SX/MX fan like us Vitards. My favorite way to listen to SX was always Chad Damiani/Jim Holley then Weege/Holley on the much missed Supercross Live audio webcast. I was bummed when that went away since it was for the hardcore fan like me/us. Mike and Jeff do a great job of getting that back. The first broadcast was great and I actually listened to the entire thing again during the work week. Driving all week gives plenty of time for all moto podcasts and the Race Companion i now at the top of the list along with Matthes' stuff.

Mike Garrison is a super strong pbp guy, one of the best, right up there with Weege and Art. And Jeff does a great job on color. If anything I wish they could go even more in-depth. My only critique was a few small things like they didn't know Bogle was out. But, seriously, that is a small gripe.

But for sure, guys. This is gold, either during the actual race or re-listening on the OTB Race Companion podcast.

Highly recommended!!
