Gary and David Bailey Talk Jett

Enjoyed hearing from the Professor!

They both still have solid insight and valuable knowledge about riding a dirt bike. 

Can we get David back in the booth just once more for a guest appearance? I'd love to hear him call another race.

Watched last night.  Great assessment of what Jett is doing.

Thank you Gary and David!

I have always said that Jetts smooth style reminded me of David and wished Gary would analyze what he was doing like this.

Throughly enjoying this 

Crazy how easy Jett makes it look

David was definitely a pioneer. Interestingly I was watching bmx racing videos the other day and the way they were landing as soft as possible with both wheels always perfectly touching at the exact same time reminded me of jett. 

My Mum gave me a book written by Gary Bailey” How to ride a minibike” I was the same age as when Jet did his first 2 day mx school with me, small world..

When these 2 are breaking your style down……you know you made it👍

Yeah - this just confirms or at least parrots what other industry people are saying, and anyone with a clue has to agree. Enjoy it while it lasts -  Jett is the best there is right now.  

I liked the nod to Jorge Prado as well.  

Where it all started Greg !

I liked the comparison to Travis with video examples.

Reminiscent of that old Carmichael pic. 

Watched it yesterday. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Gary and David are worthy of listening to always.

Gary probably did the editing himself on that video. Pretty impressive.

Yeah Travis had Awesome fun style. He should’ve stayed on the 125 1 more yr until he filled out some more.  Gary is 100% right get balanced & centered on the bike.  I installed IMs pro series pegs , wow what a difference. I 200% trust that my feet will hv grip that’s huge. Get in a good loose standing position & let the bike work under ya. Hard pack never worked hilly track that’s real slippery.  It’s like riding on ice the ice riding of yrs ago really helps with bike control.  2 sided tape

on clutch & front brake. Makes it so much easier.  We hv more technical tracks with a lot of clutching & braking. Why not make it easier now you can go faster the easier & More comfortable you are.  If Jett did some ice riding & opened up his front & rear wheel slides . He would hv all the chapters covered. 

Now if Jett ever rides the 04 cr125 dBP double boost port , forget it his skill set is set at Mach 5.  Matty B. Had some great clips of Jett,s creativity. I think it was at Budds , he pre lded & sprung off a bump on an uphill to clear the hill top & used a neat type of pole vault scrub to clear the top.  Just like landing from a table top then race to 1 of 4 ruts to turn rt & hit a step up ramp.  After landing off the table top , shoot left up shift & cut an angle to the inside rt corner .  A little controlled rear slide to the rt corner. You end up on the left side going up the hill to the step up ramp.  You doing a corner at an angle with acceleration.  You just saved 2 seconds rt there. You may hv to slide the front & rear in 4th. If your going to hit the inside rut your done   You want to sneak threw on the inside of the ruts, 

Amazing to hear the voice of my childhood sx/mx announcer (David Bailey). I never knew about his dad. So cool. Makes sense that his dad is a guru.

Jett’s balance on the bike reminds me of Windham. Windham always looked effortless especially in the premier class. Jett is more athletic though.

I thought so too, I was really happy with how this picture turned out. Hope to make it to more races as media this year.

Waiting for RC to jump in and say that it’s nothing wrong with another riding style.

Like DV said at Pulp, you have the blueprints here for how to ride a bike now days.

I like that Gary didn’t talk about toes in.  If your going Mach 5 on a technical track. It’s about body position, no time to toes in.  And unlocking your hips, haha.  That stuff works great if you’re going 70%.
