Also, what’s up with him grooming his rut in front of the gate?  Is this allowed now?   Used to be a hard NO!

Iiirc, the rider can but only he/she can do that.  No outside help. 

And, Jett is young and Im impressed how he and his brother handle things.  Of course theyre not perfect.  Non of us are.  

How about Lewis interviewing Prado,  some of these people interviewing try to pressure one into a reactionary response.  I couldnt do it.  Fight or flee and Id prol grab the mic from some reporters and test out their earlobe reflexes with it. 

 

AMA rulebook - 1.8.9 #4 says that only Race Officials can groom in front of the gate.

This is how that fake Ai crap is gonna end us all.

That's possible but I didn't think they let them near the gate on press day.  ML should straighten this out.

Basically a giant joke looking like that, all for security theater and some kind of statement. Someone with Jett's wealth can hire EP dudes you wouldn't notice, that actually know what they are doing.

If it's all a joke, it missed the mark.

I mean that's all true but I'd say he's not there for any real threat, probably just to make people think twice about making dickheads out of themselves

Why would it be mentioned? Is this newsworthy? Do you really think the majority of fans care if a rider has security? I hope it’s only in this forum that people want dirt bikes to turn into the Kardashians.

How many other riders have security guards in their pit and on the starting gate???    If the answer is zero, it’s newsworthy.

He is there to give Jett some bro credit…just kidding. Kinda wild to see them stick out like this in the pictures of the fans and all.

That's not the gear he raced in either moto. Must be press day.

I do wonder a lot about people on Vital and their mental state, they seem to think that posting derogatory and assumptive things about Jett means those who do like Jett will change their minds. 
I personally see no point to it but they I guess feel better about themselves to post that shit.

The same thing happened to Jason Anderson recently too, even people demanding to know what was going on with him let alone the massive conjecture being thrown out.
It's getting way out of control. 

Gone seem to be the days when you cheered for your favorite rider(s)/brand(s) and respected those who were not your favorites

No worries if he feels it’s necessary, but maybe get a guard that doesn’t need to be masked and in full tactical garb… Lots of actual celebrities have guards, they dress normally.

Based on Mirtl’s shit posting who knows what kind of unhinged messages Jett got on social media. People sending death threats like e-cards. These days you can’t take these matters lightly and if he hired this guy based on one of those, maybe this guy felt the need to be wearing what he was. You really never know these days.

Go read the comments on Kookseys shit videos, it's because of wank stains like him and Mirtle that Jett clearly thinks he has to be pro active in protecting himself, Kooksey has done  nothing but go after the whole Lawrence family, even Jetts girlfriend, if the comments by that wank stains deranged fans are like that online, you can only imagine what the dms he's getting are like.  How any sponsor wants to be tied to that idiot ill never know.

He looks more WWF than legit bodyguard IMO.  How many real bodyguards dress and pose to be the center of attention?  This guy looks like he’s packing a SAG card if he’s packing anything.  Oversized chain?  Check.  Mask?  Check.  Tactical vest?  Check.  Security badge on full display?  “We don’t need no stinking badges!”  🤦

I mentioned in a thread a few months ago that at some point in the sport’s recent history, me saying my favorite rider is X got translated into me saying your favorite rider sucks. It’s a strange thought process.

This entire thread has been worth it simply for Dan the Man to land this classic (at the expense of Reese missing an autocorrect) 😁😁

I talked to my buddy, Dale.  He seems to think this big strong brother is just a “Psyop distraction” so nobody will notice the real bodyguard who also happens to protect Dean Wilson from a fella called “Friese.” His name is Tate Lawrence.

If sexton had taken the same precautions maybe somebody would not have gotten close enough to his goggles to drop a pinch of dirt into them in staging.

I guess some times you need to put on a show for the meal team 6 WWF/ conspiracy/ reality drama lama fans to discourage the absolute dumbest of them from trying to interfere with your day. 

It’s a shame he felt this was something he had to do, and I’m feeling pretty fortunate that I don’t have the kind of shit show morons to put up with on a daily basis that he does just to do his job,  and live his life. 

Good grief.

That's the point.... you aren't supposed to notice them. Kind of like concealed carry vs open carry. You do one for protection and the other for theater.

James and Reed both had personal security. But theirs were a bit more discrete than this guy. 

   They weren’t security guards, or had outfits like this, they both wore team shirts and looked like team employees.
