Both. I'd love to see him do it. I'd love to see him get beat. Whatever happens from here will be remarkable. The pisser will be if he loses a race because of a tip-over. If he gets beat I want it to be a legitimate, good battle.
I'm sure if jett had ridden the dutch championship he wouldn't have had a perfect season....
But he isnt, so its irrelevent.
This topic just cracks me up. Of course I (we) love close, hard fought racing.
The fact that there is ONE rider that is laying wood too the competition doesn't take away from the war that is happening behind him or his victories.
If this were Chase, Ando, Plessy, Noren, etc, instead of Jett...I'd still feel the same.

I guess I started this topic, because I find it ironic that people who are making up excuses for as to why Jett Lawrence is on track to a perfect season and who hope for an unfortunate problem to arise to prevent it, were perfectly fine when Ricky Carmichael and James Stewart had their perfect seasons and didn't make up any excuses of it being because they were racing against a weak field of competition. I look at RC's perfect season with a bit more respect, because he did race against some pretty good competition, but 2008 was absolutely a weak field of competition, but James Stewart get's all kinds of mad respect and if a comparison between 2023 and 2008 is made, a person is somehow labeled a hater. Yes! I prefer close hard fought racing, but I also respect the talent Jett Lawrence is displaying and I hope to see history made and a rookie accomplish what is an extremely difficult feat. Obviously there's a huge amount of interest, because during yesterdays race they showed an endless sea of cars and rv's parked at Spring creek and I expect Washougal to be the same, so a Superstar like Jett is what this sport needs and it will be interesting to see who steps up their game to challenge him.
Carmichael said he thought Lawrence might be the fastest motocross rider of all time? I missed that. If so, that’s a wild exclamation point on this unprecedented moment.
Again, you’re basically the only one labeled a hater around here, you have a reputation now, because it’s the same thing over and over with you. You constantly takes digs at Stew while giving compliments to someone else. It’s like you have to bring up Stew in every scenario to make your point. And again, I don’t see no one constantly hating on Jett.
btw, you forgot Townley, Tedesco, Mike Alessi, Davi Milsaps, Josh Hill and a few others in James season. All factory riders at the time.
For the record, I think perfect seasons are boring, just like I did with RC and Stew. It’s a good record to have for the rider, but not so good with most fans.
y’all quit talking amongst each other and answer my question
When did he say that?
X2. Comparing. Jett to rc ,stewart rv and even tomac is comical. Lets. wait a few years, then come back to this..
I haven't heard RC said exactly that Jett is the fastest MX'er of all timem but this Pulp segment he said something similar about Jett in reference to his skills. 1 minute mark (sorry I can never get time stamps to link on this web site).
Warning...it can be a tough watch as Matthes (as per usual) is in full "me me me" mode talking over everyone every 2 seconds.

Haha RC said most skilled, then top 3, then top 5, all while MC is sitting there with a smirk on his face trying hard not to roll his eyes.
MC on the monster energy podcast was asked, “if you lined up you(MC) RC RV RD ET JS all in your prime, in a SX race, who would win?” Without hesitation, he said James
And we all know RC has been quoted saying James is the fastest to have ever thrown a leg over a bike.
Jett is young though, he has time on his side to create his own legacy, and who knows, he may end up being the new goat. Time will tell
Carmichael has said Jett is the most skilful rider he has seen including himself, a number of times. He has also said he has the widest zone of control as well.
I haven't heard him say JL is the fastest though.
Shougie might just be Jett's biggest hindrance to his perfect season. We'll soon see.
As much as I'd love to see some hectic racing , watching Jett put in those fast qualifying laps just makes any normal humans brain fart out and collapse.
RC/Stewart era outdoors still wins because of the racing, but I'm grateful to be alive ATM to bear witness to this new era,
So go get that perfect season Jett, raise the bar n watch out for Hunter next year.
I'm rooting for him to win them all but I will tell you one thing, everyone else has a lot to gain from winning one of these remaining races.
My opinion has nothing to do with this rookie's history making march.
Pit Row
So!
Definitely cheering for a perfect season. Chase has the speed to beat Jett (if you believe Jett was not holding back), but will he not crash and really beat Jett straight up? Will we have a perfect season first from a rookie first time ever?
I think the "depleted field" comments from others really pertains to one rider at the top, defending (though injured) nat'l champ Tomac. Last year it was mostly a Tomac and Chase show, now it is mostly Chase and Jett. Nobody else except couch surfer Roczen has been able to stay in Jett's league.
If Chase stays healthy for the remaining rounds and stops crashing, it could be very exciting. That combined with a wild stacked 250 class makes this year very interesting.
After Spring Creek going 1-1 again, I would like to see Jett get it done with a perfect season. Chase should be a threat at the upcoming tracks. Last year we saw him come back and pass Tomac at Unadilla. It should be some good racing coming up.
You’ve got to be the biggest whiner on this site
Well! if you look at the poll results, approximately 25% are whiners complaining about Jetts success. The championship barring injury is almost decided right now, so all we can do is wait in anticipation for someone to give him a run to the checkers, so we can see what Jett Lawrence has in reserve if he needs it. If he goes perfect, it'll be history and one for the record books, but if he gets beat, it will cool to see who stepped up their game, because it'll mean he rode the race of his life trying to keep it on two wheels to match Jett's pace, unless of course Jett crashes at the start, which 25% are probably hoping for.
Can someone please show some amazing footage of this wonder kid, it’s a shame only one side of the world knows what’s up I hear his name many times but never seen him in action 😞
Maybe! you're not serious, but first off this track looks incredible, at 4:00 into this video, if you watch him ride, you'll understand, Dude rips and it's awesome to watch. Fast riders against another level rider.
I think we need to be vetting people to post things...
Actually it's not. It's very appropriate to compare Jett to those riders at this point in their career. While it's not appropriate to compare him to their career, you absolutely have to compare him to them. Why would you not?

Different eras, so honestly. Ya cant really compare anything. But stats when they retire for ama record books. Same as the ama. Mxgp.debates. Just bench racing.
That makes no sense. Jett could retire today and have a 100% win record on the 450. That's the stat. You're saying you could compare that? C'mon man.
