Hunter Lawrence #1 2026 AMA 450

Edited Date/Time 8/31/2026 12:55am

He's come a long way since he first hit my radar as a hot shot youngster on a yz125.

 

Its nice to see the consistency of applied training paying off.

 

Congrats champ #1 !!!

Doesn’t seem that long since he beat Zacho to win the MX2 class at the 2017 MXdN as a 17yo. 
Deserving champ. Onya Hunta!

I do not post much but you are really something else. you always complain about people voicing their opinions in deegan threads and then you post this stuff. Hunter had an epic season. And you still belittle that. You cannot give props objectively. So fuck off seriously. your memes are shite and you are shite! Imagine being such an old fart needing to post the shite you do and then feel good about yourself. Pathetic!

Take your childish bullshit back to the tin hat threads Jimmy, and have some fucking respect.

Ive been a fan since Emx days, and to be honest I have been quietly disapointed each time Jett beat him.

What a fantastic acheivement for him. 2026 MX champion. Real motocross!

I have always enjoyed watching Hunter. His 2017 MXDN definitely put him on the radar. I like how he is so genuine,  humble and let's his riding do the talking.

His championship has a big asterisk next to it. 😁

Man I loved his podium speech.   Giving a shout out to America, and how their family is living the American Dream.   I've not been more impressed with the poise of a rider than Hunter.   He earned that title and my admiration.

Yo this was what put Hunter on the map for me. It was like, who? Then I saw him at Red Bud MXdN '18 and he was flying!! Although Prado was even more impressive on the 250. But huge Hunter fan after that...........then I saw Jett debut in person at Unadilla '19. Then it was like, Hunter who? Oh Jett's brother, gotcha.  🤣 Stoked to see Hunter get one. I think if I was gonna hang with one of them,  it would be Hunter

Remember how lost Hunter was in 2020 rebuilding himself from injury? His first two 250 sx races he finished 13th and 7th. Then his 2020 250 National finishes are 17,44, 16, 12, 18, 7, 14,5. Amazing he didnt give up. Especially considering what his little brother was doing at the same time

i feel a lot of pleasure watching all the dipperboy fans cry about a conspiracy theory........

they couldnt show their butt hurting more......once, before the racing, they were so big and great talking shit  and running a huge mouth....now they are all crying around over the most stupid excuse they could use, it not only makes then look as small as they really are, but it is also a statment for their intelectual.......

dipperboy is not good enough for a one legged jett, but also far away from is brother hunter, and worst of all, it ended up showing he cant even hold the quitter prado....

2026 mx was a lost, a big lost, specially because of how high the bar was set by all it was said before the racing, but this conspiracy theory and the atitude around it is for sure the biggest loss of all, not only did deegan lost the year, you all lost your dignity

Also only top rider to crash out of 2 championships on his own the same season… until a intervention from moto-jesus decided to alter the outcome.

Absolutely no hate but man, there IS a elephant in the room…

That trophy wont shine however much polished, sorry to say.

The same people saying show some respect are the same people saying things like "dipperboy", "diaperboy", "gayboy", "bedbugs", saying that Deegan can't beat Prado (which is weird because he beat him more times than not), and constantly talk shit on not just Deegan, but his dad, mom and sister. And if they aren't saying it, they are liking the posts that do say it.  

As a Hunter fan, it's clear what happened and it's not just the "dipperboy" fans saying it.  I feel bad for Hunter because he was the best this season. But he also crashed in the first turn, Jett saw it, and waited for his bigger brother to catch up and get bye. Jett then went out and beat Hunter the next moto. Labeling what we all saw with our own two eyes, a conspiracy theory, is just a deflection from that fact.

Unbelievable ascension these last 5 years. Such a pleasure to watch him find this form after watching his little brother do it with seemingly such ease for so long. Congrats Champ!

So much class. So much dedication. So well spoken and so grounded.

To think of the grasp he has on his own psychology... the way he’s persevered through everything he’s been through and the failures along the way. He's sharpened his toolset to a level few in the world can match, and honed the champion’s mindset to turn his dreams into reality.  It has been absolutely incredible to watch.

I hope it keeps going for him. He’s earned every bit of it.

A well-deserved champion for the record books. 

I’m stoked we had a year with both Kenny and Hunta winning championships. If we could somehow get Eli to win the SMX, then I may hit peak championship satisfaction.

As far as I know he only crashed out of one championship. And except for Kenny every single other top rider crashed out of that championship...

Yes of course i do… but no one was there to save their championships when they were unlucky or fucked up…

Hence: only top rider to throw it away twice each championship the same year and still be crowned champ (once)… a gift…

The same people saying….”

I said for you to show some respect, but I didn’t say any of those other things. 
So unless you’re genuinely intellectually impaired, all you’re doing is deliberately throwing fuel on the dumpster fire. Does that add anything to the discourse? Absolutely not, but it does detract from the forum as a whole.

There’s multiple other threads for your conspiracy theories, yet you can’t seem to allow this one to congratulate the championship winner without infecting it with your misery. 
What a sad individual.

Great job by Hunter this season. SX was a nail biter and he redeemed himself completely. Takes guts to immediately bounce back from that and get right back at it. I’ll confess I didn’t follow closely before he came to the US, but his continued improvement is the result of hard work while no one else is watching. It’s been fun to watch. Bravo champ
