I particularly love the very last comment - "how does Danny sit down with balls that big". Wish Supercross had announcers like that to liven up the show. I used to think the English guys that do Moto GP broadcasts were the best but these guys are my new favorites.   That kid was rippin too, wild stuff.

The riding was phenomenal, but those commentators trumped it! I think they need to come and do the Vegas Supercross. If the powers that be won't allow it, then they get my vote for the Monster Cup! RC, Fro, and Sheheen are OK at best, but those guys would keep me from hitting the mute button or wearing headphones while tuning in,

RC and Emig are OK for what they are (ex racers talking about racing even though they don't have the broadcasting background).  But Shaheen is AWFUL.  He is the typical sports announcer douche.  Knows nothing about the sport and tries to sound like he knows everything.
