Roczen finished 2nd last night
We’re all experts… in our own minds!
Jett currently has 30 career wins not 43. Ricky’s 150 is 125MX, 250t/450MX and 250t/450SX.
And a lot of these little bastards are getting some incredible skills very very early on ripping around their back yards for 4 hrs a day on these electric bikes. Not a huge fan of electric powered motorcycles but there is no denying that when a 4 year old can do unlimited laps like that, well that's basically programing him/them to be great riders when they mature. I wonder how early jet started riding. I want to say not that early. So maybe my theory sucks....

I’d say if you can crash in the first turn and pass your way up to a pro top 5 or podium on a sketchy track late in the main someone’s gonna take some scouting notes. Or, if you start top 5 and find your way around your competitors to win with a safe margin that’s champ material.
Some are legends in their own mind but at least they got out there and tried. You gotta start as your own hero to be one to others.
Someone needs to save screenshot of this and pull it out periodically over the next decade.
That’s funny how moto people use the word “healthy” to describe being in decent form and not having too many nagging broken bones or surgeries when most of the world thinks it means staying away from eating too much junk food and walking their dog for exercise.
someone pointed this out to me and i realized Chase is a bike baby, it’s always his bikes fault. F that. Chase just sucks so he blames his bike
Yea I mean it just seems odd when you listen to interviews with him. He was constantly searching for things with the Honda, blaming his tucked front ends or mistakes on the bike.
same with ktm, running that hybrid kyb suspension and he always sounds kind of negative or like a downer. Meanwhile Jett is winning on the Honda that he left and AP and Vialle are winning on the KTM he’s on.
maybe he needs to stop searching for a magic setting on these bikes and just learn to ride it?
to my recollection McGrath was never injured and I definitely hope the same for Jett, though we have to consider the odds of an injury-free career.
72 wins is probably even more remarkable than we're aware of. we're used to saying it. it's the gold standard. we're comfortable with that number, but when you really look at everything it took, the forces of nature to come together to make that possible, the odds of it being exceeded are still very slim imo.
MC had a foot injury but I think that only affected the outdoors. He also may have had arm pump surgery later in his career. After he retired he broke his neck at his own invitational race. But yeah he was pretty super nac!
They said the same thing about Stewart. 2 titles
It would have been nice to have had this conversation after 4 titles and 50 or so wins. Boy did that fail miserably...
He's incredible..BUT....you meat whistlers need to calm down...LONG, LONG way to go to even get close to The King or The GOAT....or Bubba...or Tomac...or Reed....or Villo....or Dunge....or RJ...or Hannah
Coenen Brothers VS Lawrnce Brothers is the next Era in MX/SX im excited for
He also went SX only at age 26 to extend his career and get 30ish more SX wins and 3 more championships. I don’t see Jett doing that. Just another reason why 72 is so difficult to get to.
I think it’s odd how people like to focus on 450 as a measure of success.. Most of these racers have been going as fast as they can their whole childhood and pros winning regional titles. People ignore the fact that Hunta had a big 250 career till his brother took over 450. It was a big deal to have a perfect season and be leading now but he’s been doing that for many years.
Nah he will be lucky to get 50
Pit Row
The only thing that could stop Jett is injury, that's about it.
MC will always be the king to me though, even if Jett gets 500 wins.
Let's look at SX as the baton was passed...
Hannah - RJ - Jeremy - RC - Stew - RV - Dungey - Eli/Coop - Jett - ?
? - Father Time and an 18-20 year old with talent and guts will be there to rip the baton from Jett. That is assuming he makes it on the list. Injuries, early retirement or ill-handling machinery, could prevent it.
Yup “cool your Jetts” 72 or even passing 1 legend is still a ways off. Doubting bike issues the way he rides and with modern tech.
broke his foot or ankle at millville, I thought thats what he said in his book, in the last year/s of Honda. But looking at the vault, he was top 10 in millville every year
and then cut his foot open on a broken beer bottle - I think is the story before vegas in 97
There were similar predictions made for another rider.. I forget his name, green bike #259. He certainly looked poised to break all the records.
Having said that, Jett rides at a different level so crashes aren’t very common and if he doesn’t burn out and stays with his proven machine there shouldn’t be too many bumps along the road.
8-10 seasons winning +60% of the races should get it done.
Sounds great if you're playing tennis or ping-pong.
Supercross is a whole other animal. "Shouldn't be too many bumps". The carnage this sport has caused is breathtaking 💀😲☠️
so youre assuming honda will always have a great handling bike? Im sure KTM thought this also, and its plagued their riders, yamaha thought this and it seems certain pro level riders have struggled with it also. At some point in his career Jett will end up with an ill handling honda that he wont like and will be fighting the setup. Jett could be one that just pushes past a junk setup though so we will see how this plays out.
I have the book, too bad it’s a trophy I never read yet.
