What the hell is going on?’

So the best starter in history came around the first turn in 22nd and you want to tell me it's his ankle? 🙄

Either Dazzy is now not really happy or you cant trust anything he says…

Hunter really stepped up his speed this year & the MX title was almost in his grasp until that slide down the Screw U at 'dilla. After the SX heartbreak he was on a mission this Summer. 

It was also blatantly obvious at Budds and Ironman that Jett wasn't going to get in the way of big bro winning this one. I said to my son 2 weeks ago that Jett is going to have issues at Budds Creek & Hunter will gain his points back. The crash in Moto 1 today threw a spanner in their plan, because Jett could have stayed right behind him & it never would have been questioned.

It was actually entertaining to listen to the crew try to call this & add excitement to the races. "What you see happening isn't really happening". Then we have JT suddenly trying to sound like a Cambridge English Major with his input. 

I'm happy for the Lawrence family & really glad Hunta got the chip. SMX rounds will be a lot of fun.

I love this sport. This event was a highlight of the year for me.

The amount of people wearing tin foil hats is wild! Not everything is a conspiracy! Hunta was a better rider this summer, Jett wasn’t 100% for it, and Jett dabbed his leg moto 1. The better rider won the title! 

Happy for Hunter, well earned and deserved.  Sucks that Jett got hurt, but that's what happens eventually when you "drop your heals".  Took out Tomac as well as many other riders.  Not a matter of if, but when you get injured dropping your heals.  i used to do it.....until I blew out both ankles.  No more for me.

Can’t believe Jett let big bro just have the championship!!! Wow. I mean I get it, family is family but still, sportsmanship is lacking these days.

Do you people actually race or have siblings? 

There's zero chance Jett rolled over. Zero. Not the way any of these guys are wired and it doesn't even make sense to do it that way if you wanted to. 

As soon as I heard them talk about taking the ankle saver peg off I knew he was in trouble. Not a great idea to ask his foot to handle more range of motion than you've asked it to for the last two months. Almost guaranteed to be in pain when you do that. Jett looked today on the bike exactly like he did at the beginning of the year when he could barely walk. 

Beyond that, if you were going to throw the race, you don't ride around half speed, you crash, stall the bike, crash again, etc.... If Jett wanted to hand his brother the championship without suspicion, you go out and ride your ass off and put yourself on the ground and let everyone think you just pushed too hard racing for a championship. 

So for all the geniuses who believe Jett actually threw this race, explain this to me.

Why would he even go out for moto 2?  He’s hurt in moto 1, has a perfect excuse to not go out for moto 2 and take all the heat off of himself without losing second in the championship, but instead he still went out at 60% and tried to make it happen anyways in a last ditch effort.  Why would he do that if he wasn’t actually trying to win?  Had he not gone out for moto 2 nobody would even be questioning the severity of the injury, this entire theory that he hatched an elaborate scheme to let Hunter win is absolutely ridiculous.

Jett literally took Million Dollar paydays off Hunter's plate at least twice already... why would anyone think all of the sudden he wouldn't now?!

Oh and the guy who's been 30seconds behind all year is ahead. Clearly injured but sure, put the tinfoil hat on. Good lord.

Its pretty shit how many morons are casting shade on Hunter and Jett. You'd have to be the lowest of shit to keep dragging their efforts down. Miserable khunts. No wonder America is on the crest of becoming an islamic communist state. Have a good hard look at yourselves dumphuks.

Tiddlywinx like Ping, who's hardly travelled beyond Orange county in his life, has panic attacks taking his kid to a liberal city, cast a long deep shaddow on the Lawrences. I used to have some respect for the guy, now he's just an self entitled asshole. 

You are correct. I needed to word that better, he did not lay the fastest lap out of everyone, he rode HIS fastest lap. Thanks for catching. 

Hunter won, end of story. He was the better rider this Summer in every category and earned the title, despite the moto DNF at Unadilla. Excited for SMX playoffs and see how Deegan and Prado do against Hunter and Jett. Webb should be up there too it will be fun to watch. JuJu, Davies and Hymas should be fun to watch in 250 SMX. AND we get the women racing too for the finals!

Well done you took my words and completely twisted them for your own narrative 

Jett was tiered as fk hearing about it every time they talked Moto.

"Here ya little bitch!, Ill give ya one".

No fkin way he hurt his ankle in turn one, nothing supports it.

Needs an Oscar for moto 2 prep behind the gate.

Bet Jett said "Thats it Mthr Fkr!, never again!."

All the sudden, just like that, the Deegan haters' bullshit meter ran out of batteries when it came to Jett riding a snails pace in moto 1 and miraculously feeling better for moto 2 while putting in a solid 3rd place ride! Now they believe the narrative that's being spoonfed to them.  



 

Before the 1st turn of last week… when he picked a gate for no reason that went right off the track

vegas huh. u think paddock acted alone probably?

you just criticized ping for his views and also espoused his views together in the same post. 

@jtmoney @Jt$ what shall we dub this caper? Anklegate? 

It's pretty much impossible to figure out what went on out there...but it leaves an uneasy feeling...

We can see which Vital members are flat earthers in this thread.

As said, cant wait for the race review pods… will JT call in sick for the ironman review pod ? Will even RC4/RV2 tell their honest opinions..? 

How does dabbing your foot on lap 1 lead to a bad start in that same moto in your world? 

If the championship had been between jett and haiden deegan instead of jett and hunter .......And if things had gone the way they did yesterday.....jett would be the champioen now.......because he hates haiden deegan...

Nah Jett risking lifelong suspension of AMA sanctioned events (per the rulebook) to hand his brother the title by one single point is purely logical

The best starter holeshot and came around the first turns in second.

Has anyone watched the Deegan crash in slow motion?

It sure didnt look like his front tucked or washed out. 
 

You wouldnt think he just tries to “tip” right there in front of Hunter?

Let me know your thoughts afyer watching. 
 

Can you look back at the lap taptimes for the ama nationals like you can for mxgp??i....I'm curious to see how much jett picked up the pace in the first race after hunter overtook him.

I really wish I could give you 1000 downvotes.

215,216,217 most laps

Hunters were 214,215

Deegs were 215,216,217

Surprised deega only made it to p16

Track was fast and hard to make up positions
