I get the sense that Jett is better than Hunter.

I guess no one watched that national that he was at, or am I just dreaming. Seemed decent when compared to actual pros and not amateurs. He will improve with time, but not like he was crushing the comp when he rode with actual pros.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I checked the Racer X Vault and yep, he already rode pro and didn't win. As I said, he will do well. But lets not give him the title yet.

I cringe at most of the Lawrence's interviews. There's a difference between being yourself and being professional, put the donut away.

I hope they go far as the gap between Reed and the next Aussie front runner is few and far between.

These young picks have been given the talent that you and I missed out on.

There was some commentary (cant remember from who) that mentioned their father Darren had told Hunter that Jett was going to end up being faster, because they took a "different direction" with Jett's training and that Hunter would have to follow and learn from it.

I found that snippet interesting and wondering what it meant.

I'm just hoping that Hunter can stop this injury train.

That's a bit of a long bow i think. They've been in Europe for quite a long time, im not sure Mossy can take too much credit. I think every racer who is halfway serious in Australia has been to a mossy school at some point, a lot of us haven't gone anywhere, does Mossy get the credit for my poor performance also?

Did you check out Clout's lap times compared to Brayton's on the weekend, he has stepped it up, that track on Saturday night was nothing to sneeze at either, was freaking huge.

Things are looking good for the Aussies, looks like another three in MX2 next year, though hoping Wilson Todd did not do to much damage on Sat night.

I still have to watch Monster Energy Cup, will do that tonight.

You’re not one of those people who whinge and moan about riders being to serious and not sharing or having fun with the fans but meanwhile a young bloke fresh off a dominating performance jokes around and eats a donut but here you are saying he needs to be more professional and can’t eat a donut?

The fuck...

No, no I'm not.

Reeds a good example of someone who can say what's on their mind, ruffle a few feathers yes, but still act professional and not try and ram donuts in people's faces and just embarrass themselves.

But they're kids, they'll grow up and out of trying so hard to be funny (I hope)

I hear Ross Beaton is responsible for some serious talent these days too....Jedd, Webster, Duffy, Wilson Todd etc.

No doubt those are some big names but its hard to credit the talent solely to the coach. They were all pretty talented before getting any coaching at all i would suggest. They've all spent time with Mossy and probably multiple other coaches around the traps.

Wilson Todd and Mitch Evans are both from Cairns i think. Correct me if im wrong. But i would think alot of their progression is probably due to them competing with each other at a high level often more so then some magical riding coach.

Totally agree with the Cairns boys pushing each other (include Jatz in that mix too) and Webster & Duffy are from WA although different age groups. It's the fine-tuning at that elite level that gets them to the next level. Moss is good for juniors.

When he said Hunter is my Sister i both laughed and cringed. Not because I give a shit, it was funny as fuck. But I bet some people won't like it.

Moss is great at any level. Learnt alot from him. I know exactly what i should be doing to ride the bike like the pros. Actually doing it is a whole other story.

There are alot of great coaches out there. Luke George, Lee Hogan, Jarrad Davis, Shane Metcalfe, Craig Anderson, Michel Constantinou the list goes on. And most of the up and comers and top guys have spent time with many of these guys at one point or another.

Man you'd have to be in the running for the most negative dude in the world!

I'm harsh but fair, so you know me like, in this thread? Or you know me in general?

Just saying, kid is fast, but annoying in his interviews with his donuts. If your not a fan of that opinion then stick to smelling your own roses

There are some good Aussie Juniors who will make the transition, even more so with them doing SX, one to keep an eye out on is Brad West.

the upcoming talent pool and seeing what the Lawrence brothers are doing is driving thr sport foward here

Nah don't know you apart from seeing your posts on Vital.. Just seems like every one of them is negative..

Jett is young and still finding himself would hate to see what my interviews would've been like when I was 17!

Maybe yours would've been perfect

Jett has Hanson as a personal Supercross coach..The style mix of the two is effortless and smooth.

I love how Jett was pulling that trigger on the triple as well. Will be good to see how Reynolds and Lawrence go up against each other.


Again.. Jett will be only 16 racing the SX series. When was the last time we have had a rider that young behind the gates at SX. Since the whole 250f transition... most kids are 18 at least until that start the SX season.

Nah haven't.

He seems like he has gotten better but the comfort at home thing can't be ignored. Like Matthes ranting about Canadians being fast at home. I don't think he showed his best in the US stint but having said that I don't think his best is what some of these kids can be either.

He also turned 16 a few days before dilla. He’s super young and has a ton of time to learn.

I thought Jett was funny and stupid. I’m a grown man so me expecting to relate to a 16yr old isn’t expected. I saw it as fresh air.
He is also playing mind games early and as long as he cash’s the cheque’s his mouth is writing, it’s a good strategy.
Personally I’m a Hunter fan more as he is less Cocky, even though I see it as a ploy on Jett’s part, and generally a larrikin.

Probably jumped the gun giving moss credit for all these fast kids, but from what I understand he played a pretty big part in the development of the Lawrence boys.

On the subject of Ross Beaton, I can remember going to the maffra 2 day open in 2007 maybe? Anyway, I’ve never seen anyone make riding a dirt bike look so fun.

While I think Jett is very talented and he is very entertaining, let's just back down the hype train here a bit. As impressive as his riding was on Saturday, let's go back to Austin Forkner who won MEC 2x on a Supermini and 1x in the All-stars, arguably beating tougher competition than I think we saw Jett deal with.

https://archives.amasupercross.com/xml/SX/events/S1599/SAF2POINTS.pdf

We are now 3.5 seasons into the Forkner era and while he has won races and looked dominant, he's yet to seal anything up in terms of a title. Remember his first year of SX in the west coast whoops? And until we see Jett hammer the whoops consistently, and handle himself in traffic on a regular SX track, etc, it is way to early to say he's the next superstar.

Don't pile on me, I'm not being a hater here, just trying to insert a touch of pragmatic reasoning.

Not piling on, but if 3.5 years Jett has done what Austin has and with the same bright future, no-one will think it's a let-down.

Austin is still one of the very brightest stars in the sport and bar AC maybe no-one else is more marketable from the younger generation.
