Maybe Hannah will tell us what is wrong with Chase next.

I'm sure he'd be more than happy to.  However, if Chase saw that video I don't think his fragile self could take it.More

Haha yeah, the Hurricane doesn't hold back.  Who's the unlucky person who gets to call Hannah?  I can hear it now.  Ring ring ...

"What the !@%#$!! do you want?" 

"Uhh, Sexton needs some racing advice."

"Give me that squid's number !!!"

"Hey Chase, it’s Bob Hannah, 
Listen up, kid.You got talent, but talent don’t mean %^$$# if you ain’t got the heart to back it.  I watched you win default titles and I watched you throw it away with mistakes you shouldn’t be making.  Stop riding like a moron and start riding like the only acceptable result is first place—every single moto!!!  Second place is the first loser!!  Podium? 
That’s just a fancy way of saying you got your butt beat.  Who cares about your stupid Instagram posts and your “good days”? Nobody remembers the guy who almost won!!"
 
You want to be great and beat them Aussies? Train like you hate losing more than you love breathing!  Get your a$$ out there when it’s 100 degrees, when it’s pouring rain, when your body’s beat to crap.  I didn’t win because I was the most gifted—I won because I was willing to suffer more than the other guys and I refused to make excuses !!!
 
No more soft &!$#&#!!.  No more overthinking the track or worrying about what the haters say, kid.  Put blinders on, block the noise, and go to war. Yeah, your body’s gonna hurt. That’s motocross. Suck it up !!
 
Get stronger, get fitter, and stop letting little things knock you off your game.  Ride that bike like it owes you money.  Feet off the pegs, elbows up, pin it till something breaks—preferably the other guy’s will.  You can beat those Lawrences if you want.  I WOULD HAVE FOUND A WAY !!!  

Listen kid, this sport don’t owe you anything. You want to be remembered as one of the greats? Then quit riding like a guy who’s happy to be there and start riding like the I used to—mean, hungry, and unstoppable. Now quit reading this and get your candy ass out there and ride. Time’s wasting!!"
Slams phone down !!!!
 

Bob's whole persona was no-BS, fiery, and zero filter.

…all respect to Bob, but this is like a 1970s baseball player giving a modern day player hitting advice. 

Bob was a great rider in his time, but I’m not sure he can give any meaningful advice to Chase Sexton.

 Chase is going faster under much more technical conditions on MUCH faster machines than Hannah ever faced. 
I was at several of the races he won in his Honda years, and I think he deserves tremendous respect, but it’s a different era now…

A different era, speed, bikes, etc., all true. Same mentality of winners though and associated ability to make the most of the bike they have.

So Brent does this mean that 50 years from now Jett will be considered slow?

Yes, it does, and you're delusional if you think otherwise. People are already saying RC wouldnt be the GOAT against the current comp, and its been less than 20 years since he retired.

'70s hitters had to face Bob Gibson.... Hannah raced 40 plus 2 motos against some of the baddest dudes that ever lined up. O'mara helps the Lawrence boys. He helped RC.... If you think motocross has changed so much that the old guys don't understand it,,,, well, I'm trying to be nicer so, have a nice day!
