I'm a Jett fan, and I'm here.

I feel Jett had a better run in the second moto after he had made changes.

Please remember, Jett like some others, did not have a proven sx setup suited to him to start with.

So I feel that this may have been the main issue in the first moto.

Jett has a lot of fans including myself who won't get riled up but on the flip side he's got a lot of ball garglers who are super sensitive and very easily riled up.  Since you're specifically looking at downvotes I would expect about 150 garglers show up here. If you compare it to my thread about his streak ending, only 70 garglers showed up.  I think you might exceed that here, time will tell.

As for Jett, I'm calling he'll win out at SMX.  But come Supercross '24 he'll continue to have more struggles like he did in SMX moto 1 Charlotte.

I knew if I clicked on this thread that you two would be in here jerking each other off over how clever you each think you are.

Didn't disappoint Laughing

Forgot Sexton was in the class until I seen him win this weekend.. Feels like its been a whole outdoor season since he has lead a lap or won a race.

I had forgot how good Sexton looks on a sx track then got disappointed remembering he's not going to be on Honda anymore. God I hope the KTM isn't a step backwards

OP is an idiot IMO.

 

Jett is not "my boy" - but he is a very talented rider. I nor anyone else claimed he was godlike and was going to win every single race in 2023.

 

Get off your man-bun high horse.

Haven't heard from you guys? Seem to be pretty quiet after your boy got smoked on Saturday. Just getting that 450 class welcoming like we've been waiting for. Sure went backwards real fast in the first moto before he tipped over.

Right here? Were we supposed to go somewhere after a 4th? l thought the 2nd place charge through the pack was pretty good for his 2nd 450 SX race.

I think you’ll find they all started with SX settings as a baseline.

His starts killed him. Second moto was better but it took him a bit too long to get to second and chase was gone. His starts were the most unreal part of the nationals. He carved through the pack nicely but sx isn’t as wide as mx. And there were a lot of pinch points on that track this weekend limiting passing opportunities. Some decent passing spots but quite a few areas where you weren’t going to pass a guy going half your speed.

Like a normal adult, if my "guy" wins it doesn't make a difference in my everyday life, I don't win when Jett does if it worked like that I'd have a lambo.

Where was your boi Sexton for 22 straight motos? Must have been enjoying Jett’s 450 welcome party to pro motocross. Jesus what a tool.

Ive been seeing the same nonsense on Facebook. People act as if Chase passed jet and pulled away. He was fastest in practice, got two really bad starts, second Moto he smoked absolutely everyone to get into second and at that point the race was over.

Seriously, what are you dildos even watching? 

facts do not matter when it comes to the Lawrence haters

He won 22 straight motos in a convincing fashion and lost 2, now all the sudden he is a B class rider? Give me a break!

I was a Jett fanboi, but now I can't even. It's like, yeah, no, you know what I mean? Dude clearly sucks if he doesn't win everything, all the time, forever. Second place is the first loser!

Jetts improvement from 1st race to second race should worry all specially Chase.

Here comes the ole “hold the rider to a higher standard because he just went undefeated” routine. Same thing happened to RC and Stew. This is really more of a compliment to their skill level if you think about it. You win so much that when you don’t, people ask why.

I'm just glad we didn't have to sit thru another 4 hour Lawrence Bros. Infomercial....

...except Sexton who said he softened his SX setting up in preparation and didn't touch a clicker all weekend. So 90% maybe? Ryder D also seemed to like it.

Jett is going to be a head case next year just like the first moto he’s not used to getting passed back after making a pass.

Did he never get passed in his four 250 titles?
