He's a smart kid that knows he's 16 year's old and not 21...no trash talk, no inflated ego, just a well rounded young man with a bright future. If memory serves me right... he was 11 sec. up on Dylan before he crashed. Anyway. looking fwd to his return.

Jetts the real deal. He just barely missed the carrot dangling infront of him. He's gonna come back starving for that win.

I'm still drooling over that foot placement underneath the peg @ 3:18 as he's seat bouncing. So fricken talented.

How amazing it would be if we're being treated with the birth of a new Australian AMA SX and MX legend in the year of Chad Reed's farewell tour.

I hope that there was no concussion, this kid is something special. Others in his class need to watch out

Just from the way he's talking and seemingly struggling, it does seem to me like he's suffering concussion..I've had a few myself , you feel very dopey and struggle to get your thoughts into words...
A hit on the chin that leaves a mark like that when you are wearing a helmet would most likely cause a concussion and if he was out cold for a few seconds then he has to have concussion doesn't he?
I had a similar hit after crashing over a double jump when I was 18 in 1983. The guys that came to my aid said I was out for 30 seconds or so...when I came to, I had amnesia! Had no idea who or where I was, who the other riders I was with were, what day it was...nothing!
They took me home to my mum..had no clue who she was...the amnesia passed in a few hours but I was groggy and dopey and struggled to speak coherently for days after..
Jett's probably ok...I bet he is super emotional on the inside about what happened...and that's possible the reason he isnt speaking that well..He is a phenomenal talent for sure!

He is definitely concussed. The collar bone may be a blessing, it will make it him take time off to recover. If not for the collar bone i reckon you see him on the line next week

He would of been bummed with 2nd but It was that first crash he had which really cost him. If he eliminates that mistake he would of won easily and that would of been something to work on over the next few weeks. As he said it’s the thinking component during the race he needs to work on and that will come with experience. Being a good thinker will help him stay injury free too.
Hopefully this injury doesn’t affect him too much and he can podium when he returns !

You would have to imagine that Ryan Dungey will step in and mentor him...could be an amazing combination..

Dungey? Really? Cautious pussy who married and retired 10 years early injury adverse. Fortunately Carmichael and Chad are also around.

Pretty silly thing to say about a multi time champion who's consistency was rock solid, someone who always had the championship...the thing he was hired to win...in mind!
Will be fun to see others chime in on your calling Dungey a cautious pussy....he's a smart guy...made a fortune out of his sport, retired young without carrying debilitating injuries that might haunt him in later life and has the respect and admiration of a legion of fans...
Are you as successful as he is?

Amazing talent.
He is going to definitely be one to watch.
I really do hope that the whole thing with Dylan can be left in the past by the Geico team, and we get to see some great racing going forward.

Cautious pussy ? Really ??? How many pro championships do you have ? So STFU if you can't say something "reasonable". Dungey had his own style, own strategy and own perspectives, like Glover, Bailey or Bayle. He may have not taken all the risks every races but he still one of the all times greats in term of wins and championships, nothing to be ashamed of, and his strategy can actually be praised based on the relateively crash free and injury free career he did.

And just based on his results, there is no better mentor in the pits globally. (DeCoster/JS7/Reed/RV/Everts/RC are not coaching). If Jett manages to wins 50% of what Dungey won, he will already be amongst a very elite shortlist.

Troll bait. You must be new to the sport. Half of the battle is staying healthy to stay in a series. No one in the history of the sport did a better job at that than Dungey. His entire career was defined by riding at a speed that was very fast, but for him also pretty safe. For a period, RV could kind of ride a faster pace and stay healthy(ish) and he got the better of Dungey in 4 SX titles and 2 MX titles on the big bike.

Chad, yeah he came close in 2011 but then look at the years in 2012 and 2014 when he had the speed to challenge. He ate shit both years and was out of the series.

Anyway, Dungey can read your comment on his career from atop his giant pile of money and hopefully he won't fall off and get injured.

On his IG story after the surgery he posted an image of Seattle, so it looks like the plan for him will be to return then. That is good, no need to rush the kid and risk further crashes.

On another note, I cannot believe I saw video of Cameron McAdoo riding yesterday. 10 days after 1.5 collapsed lungs!

Not new.

I've been racing MX, among other things, for 48 years.

Dungey retired too early and did the sport a disservice. My opinion. Feel free to disagree but not to abuse me.

As far as mentoring Lawrence no one knows anything about what words may or may not influence him- you certainly don't and neither do I.

I think Dungey did the best thing for himself. Which is what everybody should do in their profession, obviously without screwing others in the process either...

He made a ton of money, only got hurt a few times. Won multiple championships, will be one of the best riders in our sports history as far as records and titles are concerned. Retired Healthy, AND Invested in the sport. Hes doing a great thing for our sport... He clearly still has a passion for the sport, im sure he was tired of the pressure and training required to be as good as he was.. the sport is hard.. What he did was very Noble in my opinion.

And honestly, with him leaving, it brought way more excitement to the sport.. We have had no idea who was going to win the SX title for like 3 years now(including this year)... Who thought Jason Anderson would have won a title? Who thought Cooper Webb was going to win a title after having a horrible start at Yamaha?

If you thought either of them were going to win, it was simply a random guess, not out of logic. Neither had shown they had the goods to win a championship until they did. They were "on it" those years for sure. But we still have no idea who is going to win..

Agree on this.

Like or not Dungey to me was a very calculating ride. He knew what had to be done, could work it out on track ( SX & MX - which was easier), understood and limited his ‘bad’ nights. If not for RV (who would ‘hang it out’ regularly) he would have had another couple of titles.

Think Kenny’s injuries was the end for him, can’t blame Dungey for that - if something gets in your head it’s in and wont leave!!!!

Who can forget the in air hand gear change when his lever got bent - that is stuff of legend!!!

Argue away

You are the one coming in with Dungey as a "cautious pussy", so don't get too butthurt about me "abusing you". If you are going to throw out a comment like that be prepared to take a bit back.

Carmichael retired from racing at the age of 27...same as Dungey. That's a low blow to a man that not only gave 100% to SX and MX, but also give's a large amount of his time and money to St. Jude. Hope that doesn't hurt your feelings.

I'm still drooling over that foot placement underneath the peg @ 3:18 as he's seat bouncing. So fricken talented.

How amazing it would be if we're being treated with the birth of a new Australian AMA SX and MX legend in the year of Chad Reed's farewell tour.
Sorry for derailing this thread about Jett that somehow became about Dungey and a few guys bitch fighting but I have a legit question...

This 2nd statement about the foot placement beneath the peg, what's that about? It's been 19 years since I last rode a bike but I don't see how having your foot under the peg to seat bounce helps in any way. In fact I'd find it dangerous as your suspension could bottom out and smash your foot to the ground. I've seen guys like Tomac go under the peg while in flight to maybe help pitch the bike left/right but I cannot see how doing this before or during takeoff helps in any way. From that video he's not using it to scrub, it looks more like he just didn't get his foot up in time.

I agree with your last sentence.
