Too much ambitions too soon. Be humble and don't even talk about it till you have at least a few 450 SX titles. Bonne année Mav au fait.

IMO, it's never too early to set goals and work towards them.

I don't find him cocky or arrogant at all. It would be a whole different story had he said "I'm going to beat MC's win record and have at least 8 450SX titles before I retire." 

Bonne année à toi aussi.

Jet wins one race and starts talking about dethroning MC. Nobody wants to hear that crap. “ the Lawerence’s know where they came from “

He actually  said it before he had raced his first 450 SX race.

One of the questions I ask at every interview, "what are your future goals", before I hire them.

They better say they want my job, I don't want anybody that just says they want to do good, if they're not trying to climb the ladder, their not working hard enough.

You think LeBron isn't trying to beat MJ, or Brady didn't set his sights on Montana. Marquez is definitely gunning after Rossi's crowns. Max is hunting down Hamilton's records. The great ones always want to beat records, to be known as the best, and some achieve it, while some don't. Jett wants to win, EVERY time he lines up.

The king will lose his crown, eventually.

Don’t think so, it’s going to take a lot of good luck on his part and a lot of bad luck for everybody else.  Then there will be the races when JL will make a mess of things.

Personally I hope he doesn’t, long reign Showtime 🏆

Damon Huffman beat him easily in atl then blew his knee out practicing for out doors. Damon ran him down out of nowhere in Seattle. Then his clutch fried. The next week every bike had a quick adjustable lever. 97 kawi put pressure on Damon to use the new frame etc Emig did not. The 97 kx was garbage.  Michael Craig beat MC also on his short stay at Yamaha b4 he was canned. MC also won motos on a 125 in a stacked field.

Last year or the year before I remember saying on here that there would never be another perfect season and nobody would ever touch 72. I've been proven wrong on one since so it'd be dumb to say it's impossible, and it makes sense on paper.

But like others just said, life happens, shit changes in a hurry when you least expect it. Let's talk more about 72 after he passes Tomac (or even cracks the top 10 on the win list).

I think that has more to do with Feld Entertainment than the riders.

IMG 8835Ty Davis beat MC on a privateer cr125 in 1990.  Does Ty get a statue?  Not that I wanted it but I had the lead going across Nebraska Thursday in 2-10 ft blowing snow. Then u c a 60 ft wall of blowing snow, something u never want to c in your life. There was quite a few.  I put the hazards on slow down but not too much too cause a chain reaction wreck.  And enter the 60 ft wall hoping a 20 mph idiot is not hiding in there.  Once inside the 60 ft walll the mystery of the unknown is revealed.  Thousands of Snow Blind cats r racing in packs of unknown directions.  Visions from Chief Long Horn received like thousand of unclothed Indian women bathing in the river. They take turns bathing me & 1 filled my coffe thermos. Etc.  below zero & windy as f. I parked at x 312 a huge ts everyone is so cool here in Ne. I never sit down @ eat but this bar restaurant looked cool . A ton of racing stuff including bikes hanging, stock cars, pics everywhere. We had a lot of laughs. Surprised they didn’t hv a Denny replica 90 rm125.

I have thought a lot about some motorsports legends, and their records being possibly beat.  You can never argue with raw talent, but I think one thing that makes breaking records nowadays a more significant challenge, and that is the efforts sanctioning bodies have put / learned / developed towards leveling out the fields that was not nearly as tight in the past.  All forms of motorsports, be it, NASCAR, SX, Indy, whatever, used to be a lot looser, or they were not nearly aware of some of the performance advantages some had, even just think about Honda in the 80s for example.  The amount of knowledge that has been gained and rules put in place to level the playing field has just gotten nothing but tighter over the years to make sure nobody has an advantage and the only thing to get you on the top box, is talent and training.

My point, some records may never be broken, and it is not necessarily because the riders today or in the future are not on the same level, but just that advantages folks may have had in the past, are no longer an option.

IMG 8826No but nice attempt at making a corporate post.  MC practiced with team Honda watching RJ & JMB  he picked up the little things then added the bmx style. The biggest thing was being around RJ and feeling the vibe of an extremely confident champion.  Lamson was actually faster on the 125 in 91,92. MC threaded  the needle to get a pass done on Lamson. MC also rode an early version of the DBP this created a much Quick er McGrath.

You kinda missed the point, that I have no idea how you viewed that as 'corporate'.  And we are probably the same age, we saw the same things with MC blossoming from a variety of sources in his early professional career (cool picture of Ward BTW!!).  My point was not totally about MC, it was a blanket statement, motorsports athletes nowadays do not have the same advantages they used to, some records may never be broken, nothing more.

I personally would love to see MCs record never get broken, he earned it.  He made a few years of watching SX boring, but that was beyond an accomplishment.

If Jett beats the record, wouldn’t he have earned it?

Popular riders bring people to the races. The mascots are just a fun way for the younger fans to get a cool photo in the pits. 

Besides, mascots are not anything new.

You have no clue what you're talking about.  The area around Mercedez Benz stadium is incredibly nice, been there a dozen times for football and SX races

They don't race there anymore because the owners didn't like the dirt getting everywhere inside their brand new stadium. Literally had nothing to do with crime or whatever nonsense you just made up

Well that's what motocross media sources usually tell when times are moved up in knowingly high-crime areas when they try to have a dirt bike race..

A simple google search will show the amount of shootings that happened around the stadium just this year. I found 5 different instances in 2023, just on the first page of the searches. And all I looked up was "crime near Mercedes Benz Stadium Atlanta, GA"

I call BS on you finding 5 shootings near Mercedes-Benz in 2023. Provide links for each one to prove me wrong.

Also, we continue to go to stadiums that are much less safe than Atlanta so that's clearly not the reason they are not on the schedule:
