When does Tomac ride beast mode in supercross?

he’s something else when he’s on fire he’s just incredible….

The supercross that most resembles an outdoor motocross race, in a year Dungey won the championship!

There are plenty of examples during Tomacs Kawi days where he got a shit start, ran the top 10-15 guys down and won by a large margin. The Motocross examples are all over the internet due to their sheer awesomeness which are more prominent due to the larger track and higher speed but there are still ample examples of Tomacs all time greatness in both speed and fitness on a supercross track. This is not a knock on what Jett has done this year, the guy has been unreal!! But it would do a disservice to not mention that a large portion of the top guys in the series are either coming off injury, are still hurt, or are not racing the series.

I'll openly admit I dig what Jett is doing and how he's doing it.  Having said that...if he and Eli did get it on...I'd be stoked no matter who won cause I know it would be a battle royale.  Cool

Agreed,  but its funny seeing the new. Bandwagon fans who have never been on a mx sx site until  their new guy is winning.

Yep.  But, he puts "butts in seats" so to speak.  Same with Deegan.  

Us core folks can laugh at 'em but the casual bandwagon fans are where the money is gonna come from to sustain or grow the sport.  Jett and Dangerboy are great for the bottom line.

He turns 20 today (August 9th).  By the time he turns 22 he will have had 2 x SX seasons, 1 x full MX season and nearly another MX season. 

I was thinking (conservatively) if he wins two of those four he'll be at 5 in total at 22.  Maybe a more likely scenario is he wins 1/2 SX and the next two 450 MX titles - that will give him 6 titles and just turned 22.  Of course anything can happen but if it's business as usual hard to see any current rider topping him over a full outdoor season.  SX is a bit more of a wildcard - we haven't seen him race SX on a 450 yet and there's a few more SX only or SX specialist guys that should be competitive - Webb, Roczen, Anderson, Tomac.

Edit - 6 titles would put him equal 8th on the all time list with Hannah, Glover and Stanton, and only two away from equal third with McGrath and Dungey.  Not saying that's going to happen but damn if he isn't in a better position to have a crack at the all-time records than anybody for a long time.

Read social media,plenty new bandwagon fans all over. They all appear when a guy is winning.  They havent been on a sx mx website for. a long time,all of a sudden they appear.   A lot a sports have those types. 

Every sport has those “types”.  It’s just a natural part of the fan base.  It’s almost like you’re insinuating that those fans don’t deserve to be there.

If I had to guess a number I’d say there’s tens of thousands of Aussies currently following the US SX and MX series because there’s a couple of locals doing really well.  Why would you not want that?

The more fans the better, the casual fans. Dont attend races, or buy merchandise, or watch most of the races.Hell most cant even figure out how to watch. You made my point, those fans you mentioned had no interest until a guy starts winning. Plenty of aussie riders have raced prior to the lawrence brothers.

I don't think the end result would be any different this year if he was out there. On the 23 bike that is, if he had last years bike it would be different and a great season

I doesn't matter where Jett is from.  He's young, cool, funny, fast and a pretty fucker.  Add in a brother that is doing fairly well and a Dad that appears to be on point.  That's a very attractive package.

Those casual fans may never buy a bike or even a t-shirt...but their friends or kids might.  This is positive for the Lawrence's but also for the sport as a whole.  

With the special coverage this weekend...maybe the story will be picked up more widely.  Like I said...the spotlight is on our series (yes, Lawrence represents OUR series)...and it's our time to shine.Cool

Man, I hope there's a MASSIVE crowd.  Great backdrop for the feature...and the track is so gorgeous anyway.

Nailed it, Sir.  The family is a COMPLETE package.  If their string of good fortune continues, OEM's will all be in a bidding war here in the near future.....

That's what I THINK I read in the presser (from MXSports?).  A feature on Jett and his season.  I have no idea how it'll play out...cringy or cool...who knows.  The potential is there (if NBC puts the A-team on production).

Yep...right place...right time.

I'm sure any/every team would welcome them and I'm sure the salary would be large for our sport but unless we get like Amazon or Walmart to be title sponsors...there ain't a whole lot more to give.Sad

True.  So sad, but, true....  We need to get Bezos to quit buying Botox for that ugly ass chick of his....  that alone could fund a solid team for at least a season.

Imagining beast mode Eli vs the Lawrence brothers indoors and out is a wet dream for most moto fans. The mind boggles.

The shitty part for us Aussies is that you have die-hard fans already over the understated brothers, yet the general public over here in Oz have no fkn idea this is even a thing. They are pulling their heads in over there, trying to get the media/balance right, for the USA market,   yet the average Aussie has no idea. Tragic, really how it has worked out, 

That being said, after we win MXON,

We may see them on mainstream media,

Fingers crossed.
