Alright! My first five pager! I'm so proud. I knew y'all had it in you.
I feel like he will have the same melon and kind of career than the whinner.
Jett cussing on live TV sure made RC uncomfortable, he was studdering trying to change the subject. Todd did a good job keeping the conversation moving during Jett's rant though.
I don’t know if the RC comparison is fair since RC never lost an outdoor title, including winning nine races in his outdoor rookie season at 16

Jett is nothing like RC nor James in the 125 class. Stewart Destroyed the field at 16. Took get several years and riders to get hurt to win.
Still, Ricky says Jett has more skill than he had.
Jett hasn't lost an outdoor title yet either.
Ricky's doing his job in hyping the kid up. Jett would never have won a race against Stewart unless Stewart crashed.
2020
He didn't have the 2020 title to lose.
Well he didn’t win it either….some view not winning as losing…
Do u just make up your facts?
Ricky didn't turn pro until he was 17.
And he won 7 races that year.
In jett 17 year old season he won with 4 overalls.
In rc 18 year old season he won with 8 overalls
Jett did the same with 9.
Your upsetting the Jett huggers. The kids good but he's nothing compared to what James was doing at his age. Jett will have problems racing the 450. Before SX started Honda was gonna have him race some east coast rounds on the 450 until they didn't think he could race one without hurting himself. Hes racing ZERO 450 east coast rounds because Honda doesn't believe he will stay healthy for the west coast 250 class.
Jett and RJ lay it down more than most but so does Sexton. Sexton makes up for it by being blazing fast. Guess we'll see how the new guys do.
Is Jett riding 450 at Daytuna?
Hondas plan after MX was to have Jett race several east coast 450 rounds. After they watched him practice on a 450 hes done ZERO. That right there tells you everything.
In RC’s first full year he won the championship…Jett finished 4th…I think Jett is a great talent but let’s not get the cart ahead of the horse and say he’s an equal to RC, JS or even RV…now if he goes and wins the 450 title in his first attempt then we may have the beginnings of a conversation….
I suppose the same could be said about Sexton. He didn't race a single 450SX race in the opposite region. He appears to be turning out just fine. Riding a 450 in the opposite region is not a prerequisite. It also does not give any sort of indication as to if they'll be successful once they move up full-time.
Jason Anderson, Cooper Webb, and Ryan Villopto are other riders that didn't ride any 450SX races before moving up. Anderson is a 1-time 450SX champion, Webb is a 2-time 450SX champion, and Villopoto is one of the best to ever do it with 4 championships to his name.
Trey Canard did 6 races on the 450 and was on the podium for 5 of them. That showed a lot of promise, but his 450SX career didn't end up with multiple championships.
Besides, all the teams/manufacturers have held back from having their 250 riders ride the 450 in the opposite region. It was common to see 15-20 years ago, but that trend has changed.
Jett is not racing the 450 at any SX races.
Pit Row
LMAO.
Nobody is beating McGraths record. Nobody.
Didn’t Dunge win his first year on 450 and also stepped up to ride and win MXDN with his first ride on the 450? It’s been a while and have hit my head a couple times since so I may be wrong, it why doesn’t anyone bring him up in these comparisons?
Let me get this correct. your saying Canard was a success on a 450. Let's clear this up then talk about how Honda changed their schedule after Jett couldn't be consistent on their 450.
Actually he raced the 450 in MXDN first and won and then went on to win in his first full year on a 450….
Jett is smart, and focused on the big picture. He has the best people around him.
Why would he risk injury and his West championship to show off, and reveal his hand at Daytona? Surely this is obvious to you? Even if he had a 26 point lead and with the long break it is not sensible.
We've already seen how good he is on his 450.
It all depends if u compare years in class. Or age as the key factor.
In junior racing they have 85cc 9-11, 85cc 12-14. Not 85 cc been racing for 5 years+ class and 85cc racing for less then 5 years class.
Then they had a massively different up bringing. And riding at different eras.
So to compare riders from different eras is impossible.
I'm not trying to say jett is on Ricky's level.
But he is the current guy doing what guy like rc, stew and RV have done.
If Jett wins this current championship some ppl dismiss it coz it's taken him 3.5 seasons.
But he will be the 2nd youngest ever to win 4 titles.

looks like we both make up facts, it was eight races
He rode some east coast 450 rounds in 2008, podiumed Minnie. Did not win though.
If you aren't saying he's on RC and Stews level why do you continue to compare him with them? Everyone seems to forget in Jett's first championship year he was not dominant his two main competitors were injured during the season (I know you have to be in it to win it) Cooper had the red plate and was headed to the 2nd Moto win at Washougal, the overall and a large double digit point lead when he crashed on the last lap and injured his shoulder, he wasn't the same the rest of the season. RC and Stew dominated in their first season they were the fastest by far week in and week out. Let's cool our jets on placing him up there with the greats of the sport as there are a lot of great champions that are between Jett and RC that he has surpass to be in that conversation.
Then how did it happen? Must of been intentional. Just using jetts own words he uses towards other riders.
Yes....stew and Ricky dominated while Jett had better riders get injured so he could win. Jetts a great rider but definitely not the talent of Stew and RC.
