Yea the 1 thing left ppl could say was he only wins cuz he holeshots every race. Holeshotting every race is wild, but he just showed in the rare chance he doesnt he can blow thru these guys like a hellfire missile.


How amazing was it with no commentary when all the big passes happened? That was so good felt like I was there.

What a ride! He’s a level above the field, Chase is maybe the last one that could go get him.

I was too young at the time to appreciate all but the last year or so of RC4s dominance, got to see JS7 pick up the torch with far less consistency, then the next generation of greats like Villo and Dunge, and my favorite rider is ET3. All that to say, man watching Jett and being able to truly appreciate in the moment how dominant the first few years of his 450 career has been is something special. Dude is the real deal.

As I said last weekend in the Southwick race thread, it's time for him to move up. Enough with the sandbagging. 

Can we get more bad starts from Jett pls?? That was awesome to watch.

Not over a full season. 

The only one that can beat Jett is Jett at this time.

And the people that think Haiden will beat a healthy Jett for a championship will be really bitter when that time comes.

No one is even close to Jett.  He can simply put it on cruise control and still win.  It's not going to change any time soon, so if you are not a fan of Jett, you're in for a long ride. lol.

You're projecting what you want to be the facts, not what actually might be the facts.  Strange though you brought Deegan into the discussion when it's not even about him, so I'd say you got the bitter thing down.

With this field, which at this moment is not that deep. For Jett at least. It will be easy. Tomac and Sexton starting in front of him will be the only chance, even then it’s slim.

Anyone that has had a knee reconstruction or two knows what it takes and how long it takes to get back, Jett is an absolute freak. That was a spicy ride by the 18

Isn't it strange you bring deegan into every other topic?

Sextons 2nd moto charge prior to his fall was the only  thing in the same galaxy today.

I’m not a Jett fan, but Jett is the only one that can beat Jett. He carries so much momentum and his ability to find the smoothest lines is impressive. 

I think this goes back to what DV talked about years ago with the guys at the SX track riding the same lines over and over again. They get so stuck in their one preferred line that they don’t even bother looking for anything better/smoother until someone like Jett passes them taking different lines.

I just have to laugh out loud while witnessing how ridiculously easy he makes these incredibly difficult things appear.

Yep, love him or hate him he is going to be one of the greats. What a performance. Reminded me of RC outdoors or McGrath in SX and that is saying a TON.

Jett will beat all of RC and MC’s records in motocross and supercross….he is well on his way to being the GOAT (if he can stay healthy)…it’s a pleasure to watch him ride…

The pass on J Coop, just... I don't know man. Jett pulls out these super short bursts of speed and takes a risk only when he absolutely needs to. It's honestly somewhat rare to see, but when I see it my mind is blown every time.

Side by side with Tomac at Fox and railing that outside line to stay ahead is another one that comes to mind. Watch the slow mo of that, it's fuckin nuts!

I’m still on the fence about this just given the level of talent the entire field has today, but it would be cool to see in my lifetime. 

Like him or not, any true fan of the sport should be in awe at how efficient he is on a motorcycle. He goes down as a top 3 all time, easily, if he stays healthy. 

This might not make sense to some but as a road racing fan no one ever thought Joey Dunlops record at the TT would be broken. His nephew Michael has surpassed it and continues to tally up wins. Anything’s possible.

The field is pretty damn solid. Jett just makes it look easy

The way he set up the pass by doubling out of the rollers over the ant hill before the corner was nuts

The way he passed RJ in that first moto hopping over thee hump by the finish line was out of this world. And just for good measure they showed Tomac the next lap, one of the all-time greats, and the way he plowed into the same section he looked like an amateur compared to Jett. I just have no realistic way to compare him to RC, Stew, Villo, Herlings, etc. because he makes it look so simple.

Yeah maybe I wasn't clear, but yes that blew my mind lol. It's those little moments, a few seconds in a race that Jett pulls out something crazy, then he's just back in cruise control. It's incredible!

😂 I wasn't sure if you meant the actual pass. Was anyone else doubling over that ant hill?
