Not a cool move for sure and a little rowdy, but I bet he won't say Mosiman "fell on him" causing him to crash.

It was shitty, but it was racing.

Now Jett set the tone, game on

Facts are live timing had Jett way behind mosiman by the time he got past Jo about 4 secs and he pulled that in was all over mosiman for a few laps couldn’t make a “clean “ pass so the kid did what any true racer would that’s in the championship battle he made a aggressive pass for a podium ,valuable championship points and for prize money , if he didn’t do it y’all be saying he has no heart or he ain’t good enough and I am pretty sure Mosiman has dished out some aggressive or dirty moves before too. A little more experience racing and Jett might be able to do it cleaner without taking him down but the kid never grew up racing sx at all so he has had 8 races to learn . But you can all hate on him again this week then flip and love him the next.

The way Craig and Nichols are riding right now, every single position counts towards the championship.

It was a hard pass, but he had to take it in my opinion. If he would have checked up, he probably would have lost 1/2 a second or so and would have then needed another lap, maybe 2, for the same opportunity. It was too close to the end of the race not to make the pass.

Yup! He said Mosiman is a pain to get around so he had to make "a bit of a dirty move" to go by quickly. At least he owned it and didn't deny it like Forkner.
That’s because it was world’s different than Forkner’s incident.

There was practically no contact in the Forkner incident until Hampshire had nowhere to go and did in fact fall down on Forkner. Forkner wasn’t lying, even if he didn’t accept enough responsibility for his own actions that may have caused it.

In this instance Lawrence pretty much center punched Mosiman.

The 2 incidents are exponentially different.

So will it also be "racing" when Mosiman takes him out in a future race, thus causing Jett to lose ground in the points race? Sure, it was just racing tonight. But it was dumb because its going to come back to him at some point.
If Mosiman catches him from behind and puts an aggressive pass on Jett, more power to him, but I bet we both know that’ll never happen.
Mosiman didn’t get roughed up because Jett doesn’t like him, he got roughed up because he was in the way of a guy racing for a title.

And u don’t think Mosiman is racing for the title too ... Mosiman set the fastest lap so is quite capable of a win

Mosiman likely won't run down Jett from behind I'll agree, but if Mosiman is out front or close to him early in the race when its tight, I'm sure he will lay it in on Jett, and not be afraid to put him down. Mosiman isn't afraid to bang bars with anybody. When the opportunity presents itself, Jett will hit the turf. Jett better ride with his head on a swivel for a while.

But racing is racing. Eye for an eye. Folks better not whine when Mosiman gives it to Jett to take a soil sample.

Rest assured Mosiman will rough him up and put him on the ground sometime in the future, likely in a main where it counts for points. But rest assured Mosiman will eye him up at some point and get even.

It was a dumb move in my opinion. Ultimately he would have gotten around MM eventually, regardless of when though he wasn't going to catch the leaders. Now he's a marked man with a guy who isn't afraid to trade paint. That pass gained him two points tonight, but could lose him ~10 (or more) sometime down the road. Should be entertaining though.

Jett basically challenged Mosiman's manhood. Risky but if Mosiman never retaliates and Jett wins the title by one point it was a good move. Or Mosiman could clean him out in the last race while Jet is leading the championship.

Mosiman will entertain us given the chance. Kid is NFG. It’ll be a good battle for 3rd the next few rounds.

He’s young but he will eventually learn that you don’t help yourself by making enemy’s on the track. The first chance mosiman has to ruin jett’s points, you can bet Mosiman probably will take it. I would, I would mess with him every chance I got now. Clearly Mosiman is living in his head rent free if that’s all he can talk about during his interview for whatever reason. If Jett is smart he will move on and not let this linger.
Ummm, for whatever reason? He was asked about it...so he talked about it.

I look at it this way. The kid is 17 and was frustrated and doing his best. I can live with it and to boot he wears his heart on his sleeve. Besides Colt he is one of my favorites on the East Coast for sure.

Mosiman is a dirty rider, we did not see what might have made Jet so mad and aggressive.

Jetts pass on mosiman makes forkners pass last week look like child’s play... uncalled for... Not a good day to be a fan of Jett. IMO His podium interview after the heat race was a joke. If you’re unhappy with how you rode just say “I have some things to work on for the main” and leave it at that. To say you rode like shit bc mosiman was keeping you in check was just disrespectful and immature. Then to claim that pass like it was a joke is just like wtf man.

Sure I agree he was asked about his aggressive pass for the main interview. But whats your excuse for him after the heat race when he was talking about how he was frustrated that mosiman was keeping up? That’s what the for whatever reason was for, maybe you missed that?

When people use the "it's the pro's man" reasoning I get angry. Here's why... it is the highest professional level of stadium motocross racing in the world. You are supposed to be some of the best riders on the planet and you can't pass on a track 18feet wide without ramming the other rider?!? I'm all for aggressive passes, block passes and taking someone wide. BUT you are a professional and have been at this long enough to know how to execute a pass without endangering other riders.
