I feel for Ferrandis and Sexton. It looked like Jett was comfortable keeping Ferrandis at bay with a 2-3 second lead, and then as soon as Sexton got into 2nd Jett just turned it right up and gapped them both. I hope they both figure something out to make things interesting but the future of AMA Motocross is all Jett.
RC and Stew were fun to watch because they pushed and pushed. You could tell they rode on the edge when they beat the field by more than 90 seconds. It was exciting to watch. Jett’s domination is a snore fest. Hopefully someone can at least push him so it’s somewhat entertaining. I don’t think most care that he wins, it’s just that it’s a very boring type of riding.
It’s just racing bro no need to be weird about it
Jett’s doing amazing, but, and this is a huge but. Let’s not act like Jett hasn’t had way more prep on the 450 outdoors since he was riding half an sx season vs the full time 450 guys. I’ll be interested to see if he can keep up the same dominance next year after a full season of SX.
Kinda like Ferrandis first season of outdoors. Prepped way more on the outdoor side of things since he didn’t make all the sx rounds as a rookie on the 450.

Remember mxdn? How much 450 prep did Jett had then compared to Sexton and Tomac?
IF Jett is going to continue to dominate and assuming it’s not the weaker field (like the Dung in 2010) and he is THAT gifted and special then he should get into 4 wheel racing yesterday… look to the future. Keep racing MX/SX, but start getting dialed in for 4 wheels. Higher earning potential right?
Could he be a future F1 star or is that a nutty take? Could he catch up skill wise at the elite levels of car racing?
Jesus Christ. Have a look at the footage of Jett at the 09:30 mark. The guy is dancing around the track. How the fuck is he so light on the bike?
His vision and processing is like a super computer. I bet he is way stronger than he looks too. Wait until he hits physical peak age.🫣
Yeah, like I said, Jett’s a beauty to watch ride, but I enjoy a good “race” more than watching the top 5 spread out 15-20sec each rolling around the track. At least with RC and James, they didn’t pull holeshots every race, they came through the pack a lot of times. The 250 class is holding my attention the entire race, I watch the start and 1-2 laps of the 450 class and then I’m out.
Yesterday was the clearest indication yet that he has speed in hand and hasn’t shown all his cards yet, this is incredible to watch but I think indoors next year presents a much bigger challenge than this outdoor season
Jesus what did I just watch. Next level.
At this point I'm kind of rooting for the streak to continue, I feel like whilst he's unbeaten he will keep trying. But once he's beaten he will switch to just making sure he clinches the championship dont you think?
looks like he's play riding on a MTB.. The way he was using braking bumps to jump down hills was crazy when they showed him jumping down and then compared sexton bulldogging down the hill (who normally looks effortless). it looked like a different part of the track
I was standing by the left hander before the fly jump in the back section. Jett was doubling braking bumps into the inside line and flowing through the corner. Everyone else was plowing into and through the berm. Unreal what he’s doing on the track.
Apparently that’s boring and he’s only dominating because the field is weak 🙄
It's a feast for the eyes to observe. I enjoy watching it. Real craft.
When I started hard enduro lessons I recall trial riders telling me that Jarvis was doing things we watch but don't see. it takes a while to improve one's skills to begin to comprehend what is happening. It can be subtle.
Did Nicoletti ever get as much coverage? it was nice to see him for a while. Frigging fu**ing tree moved in front of him , I swear.
FMOTP is gonna go through Jett for a while. Maybe some MXGP guys will be up to the challenge (not likely)
Matt Burkeen made a sweet highlight reel
Pit Row
At 2:15 Jett uses a breaking bump to step down double into a right hander. Anyone that's ridden Southwick knows how wild that is.
Doesn't it just look as though Jett was genetically engineered to dominate MX when he rides. No other explanation really.
Precisely. I cannot wait to watch in person at Millville this weekend.
"Could he be a future F1 star or is that a nutty take?"
You're kidding right?
F1 drivers start racing carts before they are teenagers, and race lower car ranks before they even see an F1 car, Jett has spent those years honing his riding skills, the skills aren't transferable!
What would be the most important “natural skill” to drive a race car? Reaction time/hand eye coordination right?
What would be more difficult, race car to dirtbike or dirtbike to car? That’s an easy one. We’ve seen other Motocross riders transition to race cars before, Jeff Ward, Pastrana, Deegan, Billy Boat was a flat tracker that went to Indy Cars… someone help me out there are others.
F1 is obviously the pinnacle, but the driver is secondary to the car at that level anyway. He’s a Red Bull athlete, get him in a sim and let’s see what he’s got! 🤘🏼
Amen brother.
You're right F1 is the pinnacle, it takes more than hand eye coordination to compete in F1, a lot of drivers win in lower categories and fail when they reach F1.
Being a champion in one racing category, doesn't mean you will be a champion in another category.
Jean-Michel Bayle was a naturally on a motocross bike, his results showed his talent...
1988 125cc World Champion
1989 250cc World Champion
1991 AMA 250cc Supercross Champion
1991 AMA 250cc National Champion
1991 AMA 500cc National Champion
but his talent didn't transfer to road racing...
