It looked as if Jett was afraid the front wheel might cross rut in that right hand turn, so he wheelied all the way out of it Blink

Jetts bike looks more settled, smoother than the first moto. The kid is just amazing.

5 championships in a row in a couple minutes, mindblowing stuff.

It's so hard to comprehend how this guy doesn't have a premier ride lined up for next year.

SX is part of it, but he had the best start of his 450 SX career this year until the incident with Roczen knocked him out.

Would have been great to have this Dylan from the start of the series. 

You’re the resident stat-guy/historian, what do you think the odds are we see Ferrandis line up at A1 with a last minute HBI or Team Tedder type team? I can’t see how he’d hang it up with rides like today.

He'll hang it up before going to a privateer team.

Based on Dylan’s words I don’t think he takes a ride like that. I think his best chance is HEP.

I've been witness to Damon Bradshaw launch his 250 season in the Astrodome (and launch over a triple no one else was doing.... yes he won), McGrath's meteoric rise to complete dominance in 1993, Carmichael's 2001 crowning moment, Chad Reed kicking ass only one year later (still not sure how that happened, Reed was badass that year), James Stewart's debut in Dallas Texas in 2005... wait why was this his first 250 race... ok well anyway, and now this. and THIS, I mean, this is f*cking crazy. I don't think anything will eclipse what McGrath did in Anaheim 1993 that spawned 7 Supercross championships, but that aside, this is an extremely odd, rare, can't get my mind around it moment in our sport's history. I feel like I'm somehow missing it all as it happens right before my eyes.

Jett's just toying with these guys. 

It's so frikkin obvious. 

 

Gotta be hard for the broadcast team to try and make it sound like it's anything else.

 

And...

RC is embarrassing.

How does Fernando’s not have a ride for next year? Second in points, past champion and clearly has speed. Is it just bad timing with contracts? I don’t know about supercross but he is clearly faster then Webb outdoors.

Bad timing I guess. A lot of guys were already signed through 2024 and Webb/Sexton signed their contracts earlier this year, but yeah.. it's crazy he doesnt have anything. And as Mav already said, according to his Pulp interview Ferrandis doesn't seem like the guy that takes a privateer/satellite ride. Would be really sad to not see him next year..

I think it’s his supercross results. I don’t think he’s finished a 450 sx season. If you flipped his outdoor and sx results he would most definitely have a ride IMO.

Although the racing has been uneventful, being able to witness what Jett is doing is pretty spectacular. This kid is unreal.

He makes it boring for us fans, but I'm really happy for that young man. He's truly an amazing talent. Congrats Jett!

He finished his first full season. 

Was off to his best 450 SX season this year going 4-6-5 then out with a head injury. 

Two time 250SX champ. He can ride Supercross. He struggled with the last gen Yamaha indoors, but it was great outdoors and he won the 450 MX championship. 

He likes this new gen Yamaha a lot better indoors and that showed early on. He struggled with it outdoors at the start of the season, but it looks like he's finally starting to gel with it now. Problem is that it's too late.

With how much Dylan blames the bike I’m sure teams don’t wanna deal with that.

I was gonna say his American namesake brought a lot more excitement, but that was only ever going to be a flash in the pan. Jettson’s here for the long haul and couldn’t be a better face for the sport.

Is Jett the most impressive individual in all of motorsports currently? I watch a fair few and I'm struggling to think

I don't know. It would be really weird if he would just wait for an offer by himself, right? Used google quick and found out that Jimmy Button was working with Ferrandis. Does anyone know if that is still a thing?
