Can't agree with you more!!! Show is awful! Can't believe that it will be on much longer if it doesn't get better fast.

So, what happened with Michelle?

She was told the show was going in a different direction. They asked her if she would like to appear on the show but not host it, she declined. She did say however to e-mail Jay and let him know how you feel about the show. Myself, I was waiting to see a few episodes before I formed an opinion but after seeing the metric bike and the two chicks contribute aboslutely NOTHING to the show I have come to the opinion that the show is going in the wrong direction. Where I come from the skateboarders are generally considered to be punks. I know Jay has to produce a show with the content that draws advertisers as well as an audience but he is WAY off with the show as it is now. I'll just continue to watch Ride Like a Pro over and over, don't get tired of that one.

American Thunder was a good and informative show a few years ago. Agree with the above... Kuryakyn infomercial. The new show = worse!

Yep, it was painful to watch. I deleted it from my record list on the DVR. Why can't somebody produce a show about RIDING and not all the other crap?
