Jettson and Shimoda.

Anyone who can beat Jett. The kid is too fast, lol. It’s gonna get pretty boring if he keeps winning everything.

Masterpool on 450's, forkner on 250'S

Was amazed at what he could don outdoors on a lesser 450, and forkner has unfinished business, if he can stay off the ground.

I'll throw a vote for Webb. Won't say he's my "favorite" but he's a sneaky little bastard as far as SX goes. Never looks like he's going fast, and actually looks like he's going backwards and by the end of the race he's in the hunt for the win. 

Appreciate the Lawrence bros, specifically Jett. 

I like 80% of Deegan but the other 20% will hopefully come when he matures a little.

I like all the riders a lot. 
 

I always enjoy AC and his interviews and outlook on life. He puts together amazing lines and is fun to watch. 
 

Cooper Webb is my other favorite. I love his style on the track and never give up east coast attitude

Tomac.  I only followed SX/MX casually from the early 2000s.  Being a mountain biker I knew the Tomac name and started following Eli in the 250s.  His top end speed and inconsistency made him an exciting rider to watch.  2017 sealed the deal.  Watching him get terrible starts and then charge through the pack was a ton of fun.  I have a ton of respect for the way he and his dad conduct themselves as well.

450 - Chase, love that dude’s work ethic and just his kindness the way he interacts with everyone. Doesn’t make too many excuses just puts his head down and gets better. If it wasn’t for Jett, he would be getting a lot more praise for how much he’s grown as a rider. He’s really the only American rider of the next generation (post Webb, AC, Anderson era) to be a successful 450 rider in recent years.

250 - Definitely Shimoda. Dude is just such a nice guy, I remember he’d always make an effort to thank his team in every interview and never makes excuses. I’m ngl at first I didn’t think he had the race winning speed so it’s so cool to see where he is now.

Honestly everyone. I just want to see good racin. The more riders the better, for the fans and the sport. 

This looks like a cop out at first but it's a solid answer really isn't it 😂

Something about riding moto seems to *generally* bring in good people and it stays true on the big stage.

I could pick a load of 250 or 450 guys on any given day.

Fan of MOST everyone, but I’ve always admired the privateers, of late - highly enthusiastic dudes like med-student Jeff Walker, and sometime racer, full-time realtor - The Nick Fratz-Orr and, everyone’s fave - the amazingly talented, thrash anything- Carson Brown. *A53EBF2E-7968-4F59-B1F5-4B5BA012CF94.jpeg?VersionId=Aju7yvXIcfKDylQq8QuVery real personalities that are willing to talk to a common dork like me.

I started being a Tomac fan because of his dad, and I've kept being a Tomac fan because he hauls ass and does his talking with his throttle.

Plessinger and Anderson for me. Cool personalities and style on the bike. Really wish AP won that SX last year.

I’ve always been a Broc Tickle fan, but even more so after his interview on Whiskey Throttle. Guy’s definitely been through the wringer. As far as active racers, Chiz and Anderson. Chiz because of his work ethic and longevity.

Ty Masterpool is my current fave. Great person, great rider, and a very down to earth family.

My 2nd would be Austin Forkner. I've always been a fan, but he's gone through so much. Just want the guy to win some more and stay healthy. 

3rd is Izaih Clark. A great rider out of Fort Dodge, nuff said
