It's been thrown around a few times, let's see if it sticks

“Jettson” is kind of fitting in that regard.

       Malcolm got his nickname because James could not properly pronounce his name, and it came out as Mookie. Not a bad way to get a moniker !

I’m pretty sure El Chupacabra was Weege’s “secret word of the day” for the broadcast. Pretty crazy it turned into what it did!

Big Bird - Larry Ward

Electric Ping - David Pingree 

El Hombre - Jason Anderson, I'm sure this one was listed already and I missed it. 

As mentioned before, El Chupacabra, Chicken, JYD, Air, Showtime are some of my favorites.

El Chupacabra is probably my favorite one. It's engraved in my brain as a Kenny fan that thought he'd go over there and smoke everybody only to get picked up by El Chupacabra every single moto with 5-10 min to go.

this 👌🏾 once we got to tht 15 min mark of the moto , u knew baggett was hunting somebody down

This is just a pullover from MotoGP, they started calling the guys at the front "aliens" about the time Rossi was smoking everyone.

 

My favorite is JD beach- Jiggy Dog

Not to be that guy but nobody use beast mode as a nickname for Eli. 

It’s just used to describe his best riding, just like a couple of years ago they said that Jett put on the afterburners when he rode good.

But neither beast mode or afterburners is used as their nickname..

I didn't see Larry "Bigbird" Ward until pretty far down this list.

There's also Greg "The Lonely Maytag Repairman" Zitterkopf. 😆He was the last Maico Factory rider and the only one riding that brand, so it fits.

Everytime I listen to Pulp, I hear Steve use so many nicknames for non riders. I think it would be cool to know all the back stories of the Nick names.
