Thank you for proving the fans like you are the problem....

A person striving for something often seems happier than a person who has it all. Achieving lofty goals can actually make you feel rather empty. Maybe he needs to be knocked down a bit so he can work his way up. People who can stay on top consistently for extended periods and maintain their mental fitness and motivation are a special breed.

The vast majority of the people I talk to agree with my take. They liked them, but they are sick of them. Never in the history of our sport has a rider been so over publicized. 

   The Lawrence’s and Feld are to blame, they over saturated the market with them and everyone is sick of them. 

 I love watching him ride, and in 2020 even thought he was funny, but then they just took him and shoved them down our throats. 

 It’s not that I dislike him, I don’t, but I don’t need to see him, his brother, or his dad being interviewed during a race, and I’m so sick of their story being mentioned, ok we get it, they sold everything to move to Europe, cool.

If there's a set-up problem that they can fix the next couple of weeks, what have they been doing since October?

To me, it looked like both Honda 450s were too stiff and started skating around after the track dried out.

Makes you wonder if everything was sunshine and rainbows outdoors until they put SX settings in the suspension. Lord knows how stiff that must be; maybe it doesn't agree with the chassis?

But it's also kind of hard to believe they didn't do SX testing with it and have a good setup (or at least know they had some work to do to get there).

Whatever it really is, I'm sure they'll tell us it's an electrical issue. 😄

Fans like him?  I just went back 10 pages in CASH476's posting history and there was not ONE single fan post...so go find us one.

The only thing he proved is that you are full of shit...but we already knew that.

Cash simply called you out for being the moron that you are...I'd call you a liar but you're too stupid for that.

Well, to be clear…I’m a fan and I think anything that’s wrong with the bike is on the bloke that chose the settings.

As for those saying the Hondas looked stiff? Who knows? (Showa techs know!😂) But, I know one of the green bikes looked stiff as hell and that bike had a really good night.

I’m jus’ sayin’…

During a preseason SX show they asked a bunch of riders about who was the best in whoops, jumps, turns, etc. All the other riders responded with respectful answers giving credit to their competitors. Jett said in every category “me”. It was some ugly arrogance, I thought at the time that it was probably a bad sign for his 2025 season, it came across as disrespectful and insecure. 

I’m a fan of Jett, Hunter too. I hope he gets his attitude figured out..

A lot of ppl say they want someone who is honest and tells it like it is, unless that person is jett. If its deegan tho its badass.

Funny that the vitards writing he got booed, on X different people mentioned there was nothing negativ against him. 
He had one bad race, everybody calm down. 
Who knows what else it could be, problems with his chick, dog sick or whatever.

Saw this mentioned in some other threads, and wanted to break it out away from the other topics, but does Jett look happy? I picked up on the same things others mentioned, he just looks off. Before he was happy, smiling, light hearted, now he looks so serious and like he doesnt want to be there. Even going out on opening ceremonies he didnt look too pumped. Maybe we are all reading too much into it, idk, but just seems like a different Jett then the one who busted onto scene few years ago; maybe the fans turning on him and cheering for the "Vet" guys is taking its toll. 

I’m guessing or my opinion is he looks distracted. 
Money? Girls?

i can't wait to find out what vital is able to surmise about Jett's mental well being.  maybe by page 4 we will solve it.

Some people can get away with it and you like them for it.   Hannah was one of them.         That type of talk from Jett doesn't suit him....I remember the nice kid who everyone loved going after Ferrandis and eating shit trying so hard.      The 2025 SX preview show....that kid is GONE. 

Deegan is definitely cocky/mouthy...it's a bit like how Hannah was, but it doesn't make you like him..

But the bike look fantastic in SMX rounds. And to me, most of SMX was SX-heavy obstacles. And that was with little time to dial it in, coming off of outdoors. I know that's still not exactly the same but  MX and SMX made that bike look perfrct for the Lawrences. So, I just am not sure that it's bad, or just a bad night. They may just have not hit the set-up for A1. And may have some more rough rounds this year. That's common. Also, I remember reading that the stock '25 frame was supposed to mimic the '24 HRC bike, where they would reinforce that frame. So that's what is kind of weird that they are having trouble. It's almost like the perfect situation where they tried to make the new bike a starting point that was based off of Jett's race bike from the prior year. Not saying there can't be problems but I just find it all interesting. And, it's only 1 round. I guess we will see if he looks dialed in the 2nd round.

Agreed. Problem is the lack of info, so we just speculate - we don't know how they had it set up for SMX (since I don't know how much SX testing they did in the chassis development and if that gave them some ballpark specs) but we do know they ran it outdoors just prior to those races and had the MX settings worked out. So, my first inclination is to think they had a MX-style setting (only because I don't have additional info to sway my opinion).

And yes, we'll know more going forward and it definitely has me curious to see what shakes out. I'm also waiting to see if they get the start electronics sorted like they had them last year. Shortly after the Honda rep made the statement about how they had been working on getting the starts dialed, the two of them had statistics-defying start results that pointed toward something more than superior technique. Better living through technology? And everyone knows 90% of the race is the one to the first turn.

But hey, for all we know it's a problem between the ears. 😄

Oughta be fun.

Well put…and that has me wondering how serious they took the off season compared to the top contenders.  Jett ran  fast hot laps in qualifying on that “problem” bike…but that’s not 20+1.  Chase is in awesome shape and Eli feels as good as he ever has.  Their bikes are pretty dialed.  If it was a missed setting on the bike then that can be a quick fix.  If it’s conditioning…that’s much harder to fix once the season starts.  Like you said…I guess we will see if he looks dialed in the 2nd round.

I think people make too many judgements based on one race. Jett will be fine.
