It's racing.  No matter how fast or smart you are...the track can bite your ass any time it wants.  Call me a liar.

Looks nothing like Jett, sorry but he for sure did not look like himself on the track either…

The thing that makes me doubt a pre-existing injury for Jett is Hunter looked as confused as anyone after the race. If Jett messed his ankle up during the week like the Facebook mob was claiming, Hunter would 100000% know about it

Here is the link to the overjump in reference, you can see the ankle taken off https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1cQ2NbMz98/

I mean, that did look like it hurt. He definitely shook off his ankle like it stung. I'll be really bummed if that's the reason...what a bummer end to the season.

Imagine if he really is hurt and hunter thanked god for hurting his brother.. oops! 

What a weird ass finish. 

Hunter doesn't have the same level of sorrow/remorse that Jett has for him.

Jett always talks about how he'll be just as happy if Hunter wins, where as you never hear Hunter say such things. For Hunter, it's always how bad he wants to win his first championship.

Not surprised to hear him call Jett's misfortune a blessing from God, whereas Jett would be in tears if he heard Hunter went down.

You post a lot of good stuff, you really think the most plausible explanation is Jett throwing the race?

Lol what a take. Hunter is like the best big bro you could ask for.

If Jett wanted to throw the race he'd just tip over or fake a bad start in moto 2. He might not be the brightest but he's not that dumb...

With how nasty the ruts are at the track (especially that woods section), it'd be really easy to dab/twist and get an injury. Especially on an ankle that is already compromised.  His riding looked compromised to me.

Hunter being so confused confirms Jett wasn't injured during the week.

The limp disappeared partway thru the season, perfect time to bring it back..

Side note, the song for WMX is actually worse than the opening SMX jingle.

Jett in medical tent, looks like I can head out for a ride and watch the replay.
