Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. 

He races: “oh guess he wasn’t that hurt after all!”

He doesn’t race: “it’s a coverup for gifting Hunter the championship” 


When you start getting to this level of conspiracy just know you are kooked out.

Also, I wanna say bummer and kinda makes me nervous for his SX endeavors next year. But what I’ve heard from literally everybody that has this injury is that it takes a year minimum to feel somewhat normal. SMX is an exhibition of course he’s going to look at the bigger picture. 

Though I’m sure there will be a lot of people saying that “no actually this IS the biggest championship” now. Fuck ‘em.

The tinfoil hat crowd regarding Ironman on here can roll this up and put it where the sun doesn’t shine.

That’s not how their brains work. This will just be another layer to their “truth”.

The plot thickens...now we have Surgeons in Vail that are in on this fix, probably doing a fake surgery as cover up for Jett sandbagging the first moto.  Smile  All joking aside, I'm glad he is not going to keep fighting the ankle and has a plan to attempt to get closer to pre-injury.  Besides the daily pain, it had to suck for Jett to have his riding technique compromised this summer.

I think he'll struggle more indoors than outdoors with that injury

I'd like to see a formal apology comment in this thread from every single Vitard that was team conspiracy

Unless you think Jett is getting another surgery as part of the big fix, in which case... I envy your blissful ignorance

I think that's why it's important they get it right now rather than potentially hurt it more racing SMX

He had no choice - only way to make the thrown race appear legit..

What a bummer. For the health of moto going forward, I hope Jett can get back to 100%. Dude is fun to watch ride a bike.

I’m sure they’re busy deleting their comments now. I kept receipts though. The only people on my blocked list. Not because I couldn’t handle someone not agreeing with me, instead I wanted to be alerted to take anything else they share with the heaviest grain of salt.

So now people think he's going under the knife and getting surgery as part of the act? C'mon...

Hold on, what procedure is he having done? Because some of the possibilities would make being ready for start of SX unlikely.

When you start getting to this level of conspiracy just know you are kooked out. 

Only, that him not racing smx throws away A LOT of money which was THE motivation for the tin foil hats 😅

The jokes on you!  Him not making money at SMX lowers the amount of taxes he has to pay.  Their corrupt plan was almost too perfect.

^Absolutely! He's going to handicap himself for A1 via the surgery and rehab, then come back at 80%, all so he could gift his brother an unearned championship! 🤪

The conspiracy freaks need to check up on this one, I think.

Who said he’s going under the knife? I’ll be honest, I figured this was coming, it doesn’t make sense to risk further injury and wondered if it would take some of the prestige that they push each year away from the playoffs.

From the Vital news article:  Jett is scheduled to undergo surgery Wednesday, September 9, at the Steadman Clinic in Vail, Colorado.

But it doesn't say what the procedure is, and Truck made a good point on that.

So, to Jett or not to Jett is no longer the question.

Not surprised.   He hasn't been riding like his old self all season.  Seems like a very smart decision.

Not true. Many pointed out that Jett simply did it for his brother. Not for money.

"Many" 😂. 

Can't point out what's not true.  But by all means keep committing to the bit
