Didnt villa get penalized for that as well? That was bullshit, Jlaw was asking for it and knew what he was doing. That being said, Jett should still punt him when he gets the chance.

Maybe the best wordless response ever! 

They were both penalized. Just proves my point.

As they should have been. AMA did the right thing. But it was still a righteous response from Villo, and it definitely adjusted Lawrence’s attitude.

That's what Deegan wants,  the attention and drama.  The best thing Jett can do is just go out and win. Deegan still has to find some more speed before he will be a consistent threat for more than some drama in practice and online. 

 Jett taking him out just brings Deegan level with Jett.  Going out and ignoring him will be more annoying to Deegan than getting taken out.I think that Haiden may be better at take outs or closer to Jett level  when it comes to that part of riding, than he is to Jett's overall speed. He has a better shot at staying with and beating Jett if Jett's messing around trying to knock him down.   If Jett ignores him Haiden doesn't get the drama that he wants. And Jett doesn't get dragged into riding in a way he's not normally riding. That would risk messing up his flow and  benefit Haiden.  

  He's just trying to create some more publicity for himself like his Dad did back in the Day with Pastrana. He knows he is still a little off on having the speed to beat Jett. But that footage of him and Jett in practice will go a long way for clicks and views on his Youtube channel. And Jett taking him out or trying to would boost the views for sure. And would help put him more on that level with his fans that are newer to Pro racing.  

 

 Haiden learns quick and I do think he will find more speed and be able to run with Jett and Hunter at some point. But right now he's still trying to fake it until he makes it. Which feels insane to say about a 450 rookie that would be getting a lot of praise and publicity if he had been more humble.  Haiden puts a lot of pressure on himself by trying to be rivals with Jett. If he is way off speed wise even a distant 3rd place looks like a fail. But realistically Haiden is having a good rookie year. Maybe not an all timer level rookie year, but still up there with many of them.

I saw jett roost deegan. Let the men race .

That's the point. Free practice isn't racing but we have riders going out of their way to follow other riders around just to fuck with them.

Not only does it show what is wrong with motocross, it shows what is wrong with the United States.

Yes, this thread about a motocross rider intentionally interrupting another riders fast lap is indicative of the larger decline of the United States on the world stage. It truly does mirror our fall as as the world hegemon and puts into perspective the hill we have to climb to overcome our $39 trillion national debt. The reaction of at least 35 people on the internet to a 20 year old moving to the right by two feet on a motocross track in the heart of Appalachia will always be remembered as the signal that the United States fell from grace.

 

In conclusion, go outside.

It’s good for the boys and the fans. I like seeing them finally acknowledging each other and horsing around. Jett had a smirk under that helmet for at least a second at some point.

Meh I can ignore Deegan but the fans is what it is making it a lot worse

Didn’t Ricky Johnson say that he would try and hit guys in practice if he knew they had hurt ankle or knees?

Where did you get that from? It's all so incredibly vague. Like every riders intention is to manipulate the outcome of a race by winning.

Yep and that is all part of racing, you can tell the OP has never raced with out saying it, because that is about the most common thing to do with a rival is jack with them during practice, its all part of it.

It's one of many vague rules in the AMA's pro racing rulebook...

It's fucking motorcycle racing. Seriously? Go back to your original hair color. WTF

So Deegan’s irritated the Aussies to the point where they’ve pulled L2S over from Non-Moto? Excellent 😎

Riding slow in the race line and looking back at who is approaching then intentionally roosting them is a bitch move. Every single one of you would be pissed, hell some of you get pissed at this at your local practice day…

I’ll be honest. The fight would be on. Flipping people off, also an invitation to fight.

I'd be fine with it, but the rooster's front would be tucking the next corner!

Who are you getting pissed at? Because they both did what you said.

Thanks! I tried to dig it up in the rule book myself but couldn't find it.

The PulpMX lead pipe lock brought to you by RJ. Seriously though that is just a form of cheating.

To those who think 38 trying to get into riders heads is entertaining, you’re probably “entertained” by daytime television shows that reveal DNA paternity results. 

38 knows he can’t beat either of the Lawrence brothers straight up so he, and most likely his “people” have decided to continue his childish nonsense. 

Look at how history has rewarded this sort of stupidity. To me, 38 is just an incarnation of 338. Another dumpster fire who will be remembered decades from now as only that. 

Congratulations 38, you’ve turned me into a Lawrence fan! Do better. Be better.

Well, Jett is no longer ignoring Deegan, LOL.  I figured it wouldn't last long.

Deegs is a clown, a child, when he does shit like this. Grow up and be a fucking pro. You are in the 450 class with the adults. I don't know how anyone thinks this shit is okay.
