Paradigm: Shifting Towards Greatness tells the Jett Lawrence story like no other, and what an incredible story it is. 2023 began with the young Australian phenom claiming his fourth consecutive title with the 250 West Supercross Championship, adding to his two 250 Motocross Championships from 2021 and 2022, as well as his 250 East Supercross Championship of 2022. It was the end of a truly remarkable 250 career for the likeable 19-year-old, yet what was to come next was even more remarkable.

We sat down with Jett himself, along with father Darren “Dazzy” Lawrence and Honda race team manager Lars Lindstrom, to get some firsthand insight into one of the most inspiring athlete stories in recent motocross history. Watching Jett’s debut 450 outdoor season unfold in the manner it did was nothing short of incredible, and Paradigm aims to tell that story in a way that shows how Jett truly is the paradigm shift that will see our sport evolve to higher levels than ever before. It also aims to highlight the special bond that keeps the Lawrence family grounded along the way as both Hunter and Jett navigate their way through the upper echelons of our sport.

The Lawrence family as a whole is making its mark on our sport in so many ways and Alpinestars could not be more proud to be part of the journey and success that both Jett and Hunter have already achieved and will continue to achieve long into the future. Enjoy the film!

It's fun to speculate about the 24 season to keep it interesting- Eli returning, Chase on KTM etc but if we look at the cold hard stats from this year and what he accomplished as a rookie, we shouldn't kid ourselves. Jett will dominate again in 24.

Thanks for posting Mav, this was truly an honor to create. They are the real deal as a family and exactly who they say they are. Which frankly, even caught me by surprise at times. My whole goal with this film was to try and showcase their authenticity because they truly deserve it and even if you're tired of hearing about the Lawrence's, I think there's a high probability that you will gain more respect for them as humans after watching.

You should be immensely proud of that film! I'm an Aussie living in the US and that made me feel so patriotic. Their story and what they've accomplished while still being true to who they are is massively inspiring.

Jett obviously is a great motocrosser, I think he is very good in Supercross!  However he has not been untouchable in Supy on a 250 and we all know the 450 is a different animal indoors, ask Ferrandis.  Giving Tomac the time he has had, the maturity he is at, I am so ready to see the young Lad's debut.  Probably Eli's last hoorah, who knows what Chase brings.  Go Eli!

That was beautiful to watch, Jett looks like how we think we look when we ride, just poetry in motion.

The last round of SMX at LA was a supercross track; he did ok at that.

He didn't really dominate outdoors on the 250 either and look how the 450 turned out there.

Great job showcasing the family first variable as it is one of my favorite reasons for enjoying the Lawrence family through their successes.  I try to teach the same to my boys.  They will be watching this after school todayScreenshot 16.jpg?VersionId=UVIYGh

Some parts of JS7 legacy were bad for young American riders. The wide open or nothing syndrome. The sending it on a groomed tracks is great for YouTube videos but that make you just ok when it's time to win titles.

About Jett skills, interesting how his lower body twiste the bike bad before he land to get a better traction.

to your point about the lower body, there's  a few shots in there that were awesome to watch over and over again during editing. This one being one of them, his body movement paired with the tire never touching the ground is poetry.

His last year on a 250 mx he was pretty dominant. His dnf was the only thing that spiced up the season. He's been clearly much better at mx his entire career

I like Jett a lot, I think he is a phenomenal talent and will get it all done, whatever he is capable of we will all get to see.  Surely we want to see him go mano e mano with Eli in his last season.  I wish them both, a healthy season.

Jett carries the front wheel more than anyone I can recall. Not just on starts; corner exits, braking bumps, rhythms, everywhere.

Great production and great story. A job well done. Something I found interesting is that Hunter always has trials snd tribulations. He is always grinding where Jett things kind of fall his way a bit more. If I were Dazzy, I would be immensely proud of my boys, my entire family, including myself. People forget they have another brother who is a ball of light but more than likely can be a lot to handle. All the while racing is damn impressive.

Who was the last rookie to enter the 450 sx class and be considered a favorite/title contender straight away?

Unless Jett gets injured imho he will dominate until he’s done. No one close to his level even coming up, except maybe Deegan in a few yrs seeing as how he seems to improve everytime he throws his leg over a bike or possibly his bro but doubtful.  I’d be very surprised if Eli or Chase has anything for him, we’ll see soon enough.  Gonna be fun to watch

I got flashbacks of Ken Roczen and the Jeremy McGrath remake as soon as I saw this video on YouTube.

I don’t know if I’m alone on this and I don’t want to come across as a dick because this was really well shot and produced… But does anyone feel like this is the 100th time we’re being told the same story? Maybe it’s over exposure (which is well deserved) but I feel like the Lawrence story needs a new chapter or something.

Knowing how much we have heard about where they came from, I wanted this story to give a lot more context to why they are the people they are, and shed more light on their morality. I think it's super easy hearing them say "we should not be here" to just blow them off and question if thats a marketing scheme that they play because it makes them relatable. But it really is them, they are who they say they are and the goal was to try and get that to come through. 

 

Edit* no offense taken to your comment btw, your point was just something I had kept in mind throughout the whole film process.
