Knuckle draggers in the stands were giving him the fingers when he went down. 

This is an opportune moment to pour water on Gypsy Bro's ridiculous idea that supercross can be as popular as Formula One. Supercross fans are from a completely different demographic.  Formula One appeals to the wealthy and elites. If you want supercross to start gaining some mainstream fans don't show the people in the stands.  They make the sport look far from glamorous.

Standard Australian, lumping all Americans the same, even though it's a country of 350 million people spread over 4 time zones with thousands of sub-cultures. It must be the stress of having the Koala bear as your only marketable tourist attraction, a fence going through the middle of the country to protect you from rabbits, and knowing that it is inevitable that Beijing will be your capital.

Kinda like the Reese's commercial  "You've got your chocolate in my peanut butter".

This Indoors deal is a tricky one. More variables to factor in.

How could he be mixed up, sx is supposed to be indoors with a roof, mx is outdoors, well outdoors. Can't be any more sensical.  

Whats difference between this and a National, the lap times.

They both have mud, metal starting gate, sand, sx obstacles and the weather.

Outdoor natural tracks don't have whoops, the same design/style jumps, holeshot dependant, one 20 minute moto, lack of dirt, and fall apart as much when wet. Outdoor SX tracks and Indoor SX tracks are way more dangerous.

This after our resident statistician posted Jett's fastest lap was 1.4 seconds faster than Kenny's fastest lap.

But my favorite post was the "Jett proved tonight he can dominate when he wants"!

On a night where he finished 3rd by 24 seconds, with AP closing on him? You could say that after Daytona but not this race. I guess that's the difference between a fan and a fanatic...🤓

Keep beating the drum about how he was over 20sec down when he you know he got stuck behind a lapper and shut it down to take 3rd. Like Webb and Sexton put 24sec on him with pure speed.

With my amateur eyes, it did look like Jett was clearly (and yes, clearly) faster. He did mistakes and things happened but I didn't see clear indications of anyone being faster. Then again, the fastest doesn't always win.

I think the Jett dislike has more to do with the promoters than Jett. The camera showing Jett watching the race, the camera showing Jett cheering on his brother, The camera cutting away to Jett rolling around in 3rd when there was the best race of the year going on up front. The ridiculous comparison to Jett after 5 wins catching McGrath with 71 wins and 27 other racers ahead of Jett on the all time wins list Including several that were on the starting gate last night..the list goes on. 

He's awesome, but everyone dislikes it when something is over-promoted.

"Willing to push it to a crash"

My theory is he will slow down after a big one, and be better! If not, he'll go down as a James Stewart II (with more style). It could swing either way, these guys are headstrong! Trying to get James to slow down, or Ron Lechien to quit partying prooved fruitless.
