Everyone loved Hannah for being outspoken, confident and cocky. Yet they hate Jett for way less reasons. Imagine if Jett threw some Monster girls crotch in his face on the podium! Lmao! You can’t make this shit up. The moto community as long as forums have been around have proven to be a bunch of cry babies. You never go to the track and hear this bullshit hate on anyone really. Nature of forums. Flame on.
Imo . It's not so much jett it's his huge casual fan base same as deegan . They barely know anything about the sport but are very vocal on social media. it's like big soccer teams . The players are grand it's the fans that turn you off . Ie , Jett is like the Man U of moto riders
It’s mostly jealousy - some people can’t handle watching others have success come to them seemingly easily.
Jett’s a super nice kid. My son and I ran into Jett a couple years ago at MotoGP at COTA. My son follows Jett closely (and named his own son - my grandson - Jett) and we knew he was there for a promo with Marc Marquez. One morning we’re walking down a walkway towards the track and pass a few kids, and as we pass my son says to me, “That was Jett Lawrence!” Jett jokingly says, “No it’s not, mate.” Despite the fact that Jett’s friends kept walking, he stopped and took pictures with us and signed our lanyards. Then he ran off to catch back up to his friends.
I’ll treat him like I would anyone else in my Thumpa Reports - I’ll follow the comedy as I see it and no one is off limits. But my family and I are huge Jett fans.
1988 he was 125 world champion on a factory Honda. 87 on a factory Honda a much superior bike to any. He lost to a Dutch rider. 86 he didn’t do much. 91 he was just a smarter rider Bradshaw on a 250 was a lot faster. On a 500 Stanton was faster. Only 5 or 7 rnds in the 500,s. And 7 or 8 in the 250,s. 1 bad moto and your out. He never won a moto in 91 on a 250. 1990 he broke his arm on the 125 in the nationals. Guy Cooper won the 90 125 title. The Coop still rides a 125 a 05 cr125. Guy Cooper is a Legend. Jett doesn’t ride 125,s nobody likes Jett. Haha

“In all seriousness about that, it probably might not get done, it’s a lot of race wins. Coming in you have got to set such a high goal for yourself that’s going to make you go a little crazy for it and make you work hard. It’s not meaning really that I’m going to do it, it’s I want to have a goal, if I didn’t have a goal I would be happy just to be here and race around in whatever position I wanted."
Sounds like a cocky prick, where's my pitchfork?
The other thing I'm seeing in this thread is people claiming he is crying, can anyone document a single case of him crying? I love how people at the same time claim he was crying about Hombre and then claiming that he was the aggressor. You have to pick one.
For the people complaining about yet another Jett thread, I do apologize. I'm being honest when I ask the question about the Jett hate. I can't imagine a world where someone I don't know would have the power to make me dislike them so much. I said it earlier, I think Hombre and Jett both did their jobs. I just like good racing, watching people ride dirt bikes better than me and good stories.
And a 250 one as well (89)
Explain Dungey then, Tomac, Roczen etc.... Sure, you have people that don't like them. ....but none of them were shoved down peoples throats 24/7.
I wondered how long it would take for the usual bullshit "reasons".
1. Jealousy
2. He's not American.
Two of the dumbest and most incorrect reasons that get repeated.
You get it... It's the over-saturation. ...and it's why many of us continue to poke fun at it and the psycho fans every chance we get.
It's the truth, I've been watching the sport since 1997 it's the it's been that way since I've been watching it, the one before jett was ferrandis, herlings and so on.
I have a friend who is aussie die hard mx fan, he hates anyone who isn't American or Aussie.
The only American I've seen hated on here in recent times is friese which is well deserved and Deegan which checks the jealously box.
We will see what happens when or if Prado starts winning, because that kid has a lot in common with jett especially personality and ego.
Haha i can't believe that people are so incredibly anti Jett that some of you claim that his 22-0 in the 450 class as a rookie wouldn't put him in the all-timer bracket (or at the very, very minimum on the brink of it).
Sure, the dude made mistakes with the Anderson deal. Sure, he is getting a lot of exposure (95% of it is deserved). But what he did in the summer of 2023 surely puts him in the bracket as an all-time rider. It says a lot about you if you are unable to separate his exposure, his mistakes, his person from the achievement that he did in 2023.
On the track both guys did what they were supposed to do which is try to pass the guy in front of you and try to stop the guy trying to pass you from succeeding, you can't justify what #18 did after the race (off the track) as something "he was supposed to do;" there is zero logic to support this theory.
The boo's had nothing to do with him not being an American either.
People looking to find fault will always find something to fault. Maybe try a little harder to not give people multiple options to choose from when they are looking for reasons to dislike you.
^^This. I try. 5 minutes in the broadcast with my 7yr old and Im already turning on Scooby Doo
Tastes like chicken
If he says that, the haters just say "Look at him just reading a script from HRC" He says what he is thinking and gets bagged for it.
The joys of a sport with a huge pool or fans with varying thoughts. Some want him and like him for saying what he thinks, some hate him for doing just that. If he read from a script and answered everything neutral there would still be those that hate on him for just doing that, and others thinking he is smart for doing so.
A forum full of varying opinions who would have thought.
Unfortunately he is currently in a no win situation with those who want to either see him completely full from grace, or just be humbled a little are taking every advantage while he is down a little.
Thing is, he is still a race winner in 450SX this year, looks to have the speed to win more, at least in contention with 4-5 others for race wins, is only 6 points from the points lead and we finally head back to a dry 20 lap main event this weekend to see where the field is really at.
The best he could do now is just go out race and keep getting results.
It is pretty much going to be the complete opposite for him for the near future compared to how it has been the past few years. The past few years, every great feat has been highlighted and praised, at the moment, every little mistake is going to be scrutinized and turned into a 20 page topic on this forum and all over social media.
He is not he first it has happened to and won't be the last.
I for one wish he didn't crash last weekend, and Jason did not get the one position penalty, because the podium and press conference after the race would have been a lot more interesting with the two of them up there
The most disturbing thing about this topic is the number of grown men, most of whom are probably middle aged, who deeply dislike some stranger whom they’ve never met (and most likely never will) and whose claim to fame is that he’s fast on a dirtbike. The guy has zero impact on their lives in any meaningful way yet they dislike him enough to be critical of his personality, his family, his career goals etc.
If that’s not fucked up in some way or another I don’t know what is.
The way she goes
The moto media have a part to play in this. They get their new pet, shove it up everyone’s ass until you finally puke then find a new pet and, rinse and repeat. Same with “danger boy” (puke)

Are you a Justin Bieber fan?
This.
Plus I will add that it started very early with 'generational talent'. Every fool in the media was regurgitating those words During every race, podcast etc. It got WAY overused and I got really sick of hearing it.
Then he rode out of control and ended Forkern's season. I was just starting to really pull for Forkner.
As someone previously mentioned, I too like to pull for the underdogs and the veterans who may only have 1-2 years left.
When Jett is in the back half of his career and considered a veteran if he reaches number 2 on the SX win list then I will most likely be pulling for him to break it.
You realize going undefeated gets you nothing other than the championship, right?
See what you mean, people hate Roczen too.
If there was ever going to be a Drive to Survive style SX show, this would’ve been the season.
People in general are softer and more easily offended now than they were in the late '70's. Especially here in the US.
You nailed it!!!
For the lazy people...go straight to the 2:50 mark.
It gets you bragging rights and main stream media attention...

It doesn’t really have to make sense, that is life in the spotlight.
People still hate Metallica for kicking Mustaine out and that was 40 years ago.
I only hate Metallica for the black album and everything after
