A topic Misano fans have been screaming about this weekend is that all the riders (or at least the current ones) are disrespectful.
But is it? We spoke to a random ‘fan’ in Misano to find out their perspective and the true talent associated with the weekend buzz.
Are you screaming this weekend?
Yes, yes!
So tell us, when did you first discover your love for… well, screaming?
In the year In the year In 2015, it is clear. Rossi lost the championship to Lorenzo, and the Boo of hate in me was born. It was just like my spirit animal—except my spirit animal was a loud disapproving noise.
Interesting. So, do you enjoy the contests?
not really. Especially if the result goes like the first race at Misano. My blood pressure was so high that it was pouring out of my orifice.
Do you scream every rider, or do you have a favorite…dislike?
Stupid question. It’s not just random! I scream dirty scams… all with the same name.
Did Rossi’s latest comment make a difference?
Absolutely. Vale’s words were fuel to the fire – not like these knights who were too afraid to tell the truth.
So, what happens if a driver crashes in front of you? What’s your game plan?
That’s the beauty of MotoGP. There’s always the chance that Marquez’s brother will fall before us – so hopefully if he’s seriously injured, we’ll be cheering knowing his cheating corpse is too broken to move. Glorious!
What’s the loudest sound you’ve ever made?
Oh, no doubt, it was here a fortnight ago when the rogue knight went to the front by cheating and asking the spirits to make it rain. The whole crowd was in shock, but I looked out my window. I screamed so hard I almost pulled a gizzard valve. The guy next to me gave me a high five. I think we bonded for life – he even shared his tagliatelle with me later that night.
And what do you say to people who think yelling is negative?
Hey, MotoGP is an emotional sport. Some people scream, some cry, and some – well, we just scream. It’s like a yin to the yang of stressors. You can’t have a clean celebration without a little excitement in the mix. I am doing my part.
So we have to ask – what kind of training to be a bitter boo-er? Do you have a routine?
Oh, absolutely. Screaming is an art form mate. You can’t just walk in the cold! I had a full treatment.
true? Walk through it.
Well, first of all, sound heaters are key. You can’t pull a vocal cord mid-boo; That’s rookie stuff – like these Verstappen fan noobs. I start each day with a few “boo” sounds—like “boo-oooo-OOO-oooo-ooo!” Scroll up and down existing notes. It’s like I’m an opera singer, but my aria is pure dissatisfaction.
What about persistence? This isn’t a speedway, MotoGP races aren’t exactly short.
Exactly! You have to pace yourself. I do cardio. I have a custom boo sprint workout. This is a mix of short, intense bosses for emergencies caused by Marquez and Marquez leading by miles and wanting you to know how much we all hate him. I screamed for 45 seconds straight. That’s my best. You must be prepared for any situation.
45 seconds? Amazing. Do you use any equipment?
Yes. I have a home practice megaphone that I made from a discarded pizza box, but only for special occasions. I prefer the strength of natural booze. There is something more personal about it. I also work on breath control – yoga is great for that. Do you try to shout from the diaphragm? It is powerful. You can feel it in your soul – from my soul to the pit you call it.
Worried about overtraining?
Oh, definitely. Boo burning is real. It’s a fine line, you know? And there’s a very real chance I could blow it with Misano’s doubleheader. Too much noise at the wrong time can cause you harm – or worse, look weak. Sometimes I have to let go and let out a little “meh” or “tsk,” as Alex Marquez says during practice, to be loose. But come race day, I’m at 100%.
Looks like you have this down to a bitter science. Thanks for sharing your bo training tips. You have definitely opened our eyes to a side of MotoGP that we never knew existed.
At any time! Remember, rocking is not just a hobby, it’s a lifestyle.
