Jett may be running Ti sprocket bolts where as Hunter prefers steel for the frame flex….I heard this from Keefner”s Inc. testing dept. …. True…
Kind of a counter point to this – and along the lines of what Boom/James was saying about Jett carrying more corner speed – is the very next corner leading up to the Leap. They both used the same line, but Jett carried more speed and was able to jump the Leap, but Hunter couldn't.
rotella and a titanium sprocket... yes that is exactly what I saw as he teleported past 32

So hunter is the C class rider? and he's 2nd in points? what does that make the rest of the field.
Watch.
You know how you can move some birds, and their head stays perfectly still while their body moves? That's Jett on a bike. He keeps the rear glued to the ground.
They race like they trust each other on track. Funny that
I also think Jett roosted through that line which messed Hunter up maybe not being able to see what was in the rut clear enough to trust he'd get the drive.. but yes the out speed seems faster than everyone else! If I was another rider I don't know if I'd wanna see those drone shots or not haha
I mean sure good to learn but also pretty good to dishearten as well haha
Tomac might be 5-10lbs more than Jett.
Someones been drinking. I'd bet more than a thousand lol.
Idk dude we live far apart. Come east.
No it’s a hypothetical not a literal example.
Find a track in the middle and make it happen.
Moto Fight Club.
Watching Jett go so much faster than everybody is almost incomprehensible to my brain. I feel like an older person who can't seem to grasp the difference between real and CGI in movies. I can see it happen, but I just can't understand it. Maybe one day my kids can try to explain it to me.
/ thread
Yeah and his ability to create speed from nothing always amazes me.
I know that JS talk about Jett’s roll speed, but sometimes he just create a massive burst of speed out of nothing.
Like a step on - step off in SX for example or when he goes trough the first corner at MX. he could have had riders in front of him going in to that corner hindering him from going faster than anyone else, and then he just turn and shoots and it looks like he got 30hp more that the rest of the guys going towards the holeshot line.
That’s the part that amazes me most. The capability to make up speed on a easy section where anyone can hold it wide open.
That's funny lol. I was at Pala with my son (33) and he said "Jett looks like he's riding a different track " "His track doesn't have braking bumps or square edged holes hahaha" 😄 I agree with the comments about being light on the bike and what looks like (to my untrained eye) softer suspension. But the main thing seems to be what my son noticed, he's super good at reading terrain and finding the smoothest lines. He's not slamming into or through things, he finds a way to either jump over or go around the gnarly parts of the track that kill other riders momentum. His ability to find smooth lines helps keep his rear wheel planted and driving forward. He's not bouncing of things and creating wheelspin, he looks smooth and connected. Smooth = fast while using less energy. Just my $.02 🤪 Line choice.
I was thinking the exact same thing, there has been numerous instances the brothers have swapped each other for the lead during a race. It may appear as though Hunter is just rolling over and not putting up much of a fight. However, whenever Jett showcases his talent, it typically appears easy for him to pass the other riders.
When it comes to Hunter and Jett battling each other, there are other factors involved. Like, being brothers, being on the same team and Jett is usually leading the series championship; Hunter doesn’t want to do anything to jeopardize this. That was a stupid comment “PROZACH” made!!!
Pit Row
I vote we stick Jett on the second row of the gate each week and just watch him rip through the pack like they’re stood still!

Great photo
Yep, I've been following this sport for 50+ years and I have to admit, I've never seen anyone like Jett. When he gets the start, he can turn the race into a bit of a snoozer. That's why it was cool to see him in 18th, but I had no idea he would rip through the pack so easily like he did. 😲
The lines and technique he uses are like nobody else, just like Jeremy used to do to everybody in Supercross--it's a race for 2nd.
I never thought the Goat's record would be broken but if Jett stays healthy we could be witnessing a new Goat.
The first time Jett raced a 450 was a few years ago at this very track for the MXON.
I was very intrigued to see how he would do on the BIG BIKE and made a point to watch him during Saturdays, sloppy conditions qualifier.
He did not get a great start but wasted no time in getting to the front and easily won.
Right then and there I knew this guy was something special, but had no idea he would dominate the 450 class like he's currently doing. 😳
I was blown away by the drone footage of how much faster he is everywhere.
Corner speed everything its insane.
He did ride under Stefan Everts and looks similar on the bike.
Guys, I saw a video yesterday i wanted to share but cannot find it. It was some short reel someone posted on FB or Youtube. Jett was coming in for landing on a jump on southwick. His wheels would have clipped, but he whipped the bike sideways in the air to miss the top of the landing before straightening out upon landing - it was some jedi bmx type move. Anyone else see it?
It would be great if we had updated official listings of rider height and weight. There's "measurements" out there for most riders, but I'm pretty sure they're all either several years old or just made up.
I believe I have heard that Tomac is up around the 180 mark, which I would say is believable. To me, Jett looks no more than 165. I could certainly be wrong.
thank you i said this in another thread, hunter rolls over when he knows its jett, and when its someone else he rides like deegan and smith did in that SX heat race two years ago 😂. ..Jett doesnt need ANY help just race him how you race everyone else, Hunter.
I don't know if this has been said but his throttle control is also unreal. Where other riders spin, he seems to get just the right amount of power to the ground to drive the bike forwards. You can clearly see how much faster he accelerates than other guys.
Has anyone come across this video? I tried finding it for 20 minutes yesterday with no luck.
It was fucking insane. On the way down in the air he scrubbed the bike in the air to not click the top of the backside of the landing. Once he was clear he straightened it out. Very similar to what he did in Millville on the jump after the Chadapault but way more whipped. Then he landed and went off the jump to flat Deegan whipped passed Kitchen on last year.
Jett spent a lot of his childhood on a 125 at Lommel being taught by Harry Everts.
He clearly has huge natural talent & fitness aswell, but damb that’s a winning formula.
Hunter is under rated outdoors, he's ahead of former champions Eli and Chase.
