Its not when you define your own personality by politics. Theres a lot of that going on lately, wish we could go back to before. I dont know that guy or anything about him, but we all know ppl who make politics their whole identity. 

I really didn't want to introduce politics into this discussion at all. I was just illustrating the fact most good men employ the belief that, "if you fuck with my brother, you just fucked with me." 

My brother and I are almost completely opposites, but you won't talk shit about him in front of me. 

It's probably like that for the Lawrences.

How many of the 250 kids would crack the top 10 in the 450s? (I know I'm getting way ahead of myself here just curious what you guys think). 

Davies, Shimoda, Kitchen.

I really think the 450 could fit Drew Adams much better, obviously he won't get a 450 ride without 250 results, but the dude seems way too big for the 250, just like Marchbanks. I hope we don't see Adams in the 250 class for the next 7-8 years.

If Fineis and Marchbanks (Riders who never won a moto or overall) can get a top 5, I'm more than confident, Shimoda, Kitchen, Hymas, and Davies would easily slot into the battle for 4th. They'd be ahead of Marchbanks but behind Deegan and Prado.

That's fair, sorry if I misinterpreted your intention. 

I also agree wholeheartedly with the sibling sentiment.

This kid loves his big brother and despises the idea of having to compete against him for a championship. 

Compare that to how the Douchebag family behaves. 

It’s really not crazy to love your own brother.

😂 you nailed it.  But for some wild reason on here Jett being concerned about his own brother is like being a war hero

After the Motos Question.

In that 1st 450 Moto was Deegan really apologizing to Jett when Jett passed him at the top of The Wall, (aka The Screw-U), like James Stewart said a number of times during the broadcast?  Or did Deegan just take a bad line and Jett pounced?

To me it looked like he was sizing him up for a take-out at the bottom of the hill. Like letting Shimoda past at the SMX finale last year.

I can’t believe it! The person who called me out a few weeks ago for comparing 250s to 450s (when I wasn’t even really doing that) is now…COMPARING 250 RIDERS TO 450 RIDERS! How the turns have tabled.

Gotta need a screenshot or some context. I don't even remember what I ate two days ago.

Where does Shimoda stack up in current 450 class? We seen his Mxon performance. Makes me believe more riders need to move up like Marchbanks has.

Did Hunter struggle  to get on his bike due to steepness or was he concussed?

Note the australian kid doesnt just let ppl by like the american kids do and then after levi passed him he thought it was over and backed off and got passed back. This race was a microcosm of what everyones been talking about since lorettas… We need to change the amateur system its creating kids that settle.

Noyce! I'll be at Budds, too. I can't believe this 450 championship just flipped on it's head like this. I wanted Jett to win but not like this. The worst possible spot to go down

Right. Called it the wrong section. Do they call it the screw U or devil's drop?

Historically it was called the Screw U, but the last few years they sanitized the nickname and started calling it "The Wall".
