If that were the case the Deegan’s just admitted how much better the Lawrence’s are because they have Deegan covered so much they can just decide the outcome of these titles lol.
So he did that to let Hunter go by to win the title and cost his family 100’s of thousands of dollars at the same time?
What did this cost Jett?
well that fuckin' sucks

Explain the capital gains, be side exactly every capital gain reasoning has been made invalid by facts.
Family lost money by Hunter winning. No extra money for Hunter going fwd because all terms was already settled and does not include a bump
Jett has the highest bonus structure. Hunters title is worth zero in 3 years when Honda contract is up, if he haven't secured more titles.
You are so lost.
I’d like to agree with you about HD growing and maturing.. but has the rest of his family done that?
Good now hopefully Deegan wins it!!!!!!!! I know how good Jett and Hunter are but I prefer an American to win our series!!!!!!
Seems like it took Herlings several seasons to get back as well.
They talk about the Lawrence family getting more money if Jett wins. Are Jett and Hunters parents getting paid by Honda or do Jett and Hunter kick them $s (not begrudging it if they do, I know they sacrificed their whole lives to get the brothers to this point.) Just curious, because I have never heard it discussed this way with any other rider.
LOL..Not sure why, but had the impression you were one of the more level headed guys on the forum.
Oh well, there goes that impression.
No, he did that because he didn’t want to see his brother lose the title from going down in a first turn crash.
It wasn't just one injury though. I think he broke his ankle at the beginning of 2019, which made him miss half the season. Then right after he just came back someone (idk if it was Seewer or Jasikonas) ran over his foot again at a sighting lap and he was out again. He looked like the worst version of himself when he came back for the last couple of races (also too early I think, so understandable).
2020 he actually looked kinda good after his return, just got back into the groove and then had a massive crash which left him with injured vertebra and he was out again for the rest of the year. 2021 he was back to full speed.
So it wasn't just the ankle, it was a case of multiple injuries
I think it's mindblowing how fast Jett came back from both his ACL and his Talus, he shouldn't even been out there this summer. Wild that he still smoked everyone but Hunter. In the race thread I was also calling for Jett to throw the race, but once they confirmed that he injured his ankle again, it made sense how he rode.
So far the best Jett we have seen might have been his rookie year in 2023, which is wild. I really hope he can make a couple years without injury going forward.
Sexton, Stewart and I'm sure others I can't remember, went from 40th to FIRST.
By "deegs", do you mean Lips Deegan Jr.? The loudmouth pudgy kid?
Wait till HE gets hurt, which he will, it's a matter of when. The way he rides, he was lucky to make it throiugh a season on 450s.
That won't last.
Gotcha so the rationale of this camp is.
sounds logical.
Forgot to mention, "Superduperfantasticgnarlymotocross" is a sideshow to keep the mouthbreathers spending money.
What a snooze.
Weigand can pound his pud on TV all he likes, it doesn't change that fact.
Idk why people hate the SMX playoffs. We get extra racing, the riders get more money. Do you guys really care that much when they call it a championship? Everyone who cares a little bit about this sport would never compare it to a SX/MX title anyways, so I don't think it's a bad deal. Just enjoy the extra racing we get.
I've seen comments in the past where people said "bring back Monster cup", but Monster cup always only had like half of the factory riders out there because nobody cared about it and nobody made any money from it (except for the one guy who occasional won all three races).
Personally- because I'd rather the riders get more time off.... they've all certainly earned it... they dont make that much and it extends their season by 3 more weeks... the guys (riders, mechanics, media, etc) are already burnt the F out and this just makes it even worse...
Then.... the tracks and venues are bad... outdoor tracks w one rhythm section, just to make suspension tuning impossible.. held at reallyyy low end venues... I want a roof over my head with air conditioning... not sitting on some grass (or drag strip benches) out in the middle of bfe...
Then... they hype it up in a stupid way... the world championship playoffs is laughably stupid... it's not a world championship, nor is it a playoff.... like da fukk??? Mec tracks were sooo cool... these tracks are just head scratchers....
Pit Row
Yeah add DB to the list, i would also say add Matthes.
The "media" has been disgraceful in this. Im ashamed for their behalf.
I don’t normally defend Matthes, but he has had the best interview with them yet on this subject.
https://racerxonline.com/2026/09/02/darren-lawrence-on-claims-jett-thre…
Yes he had the interview but still pushed out the narrative that he can't say the conspiracy people are completely wrong and crazy.
Go and listen to the Matthes/DB podcast after the Dazzy interview, just constant talk about "nobody" knows except the number 1 etc. Just fueling the shit to the absolute maximum, especially DB.
I have zero issues if the Lawrence family does zero interviews and content with these people going forward.
If you re read the press release it sounds like he is going to stay in Vail post surgery to do rehab - they would have some serious foot and ankle PTs on staff there. He's definitely not fucking around with his recovery this time.
There is nothing logical about any of that, and those are not points that I made. I said that Jett probably did aggravate his foot more at some point before or early in the race. I also said that aside from that and apart from that, I would not be surprised if there was talk about sitting out SMX to let his foot heal since it has been bothering Jett all season.
Given that, I believe that Jett intentionally went slower to let Hunter by because he didn’t want to see his brother lose the title by going down in the first turn. Jett showed up in the second moto at a much higher pace, beat Hunter, and then gave what seemed to me like an interview that did not come across as completely authentic.
No conspiracy, no betting, no pre-planning. Just a guy who saw his saw his brother go down and didn’t want it to end like that.
Hunter blow SMX? You watched this season right? Hunter is going to spank the field
Just starting to think about this as well. It would be a crazy plot twist if Jett becomes the next Robbie Reynard.
Jett needs to sit this one out, so he can be at the top of his game in SX when he gets hurt again.
Yeah, except for the five AMA titles, two regional SX titles, three time SMX winner, two time MXoN winner, and already in the top ten on most of the all-time win lists, he could be the next Robbie Reynard.
"I'd rather the riders get more time off."
Ask Pierce Brown if he'd rather have the extra time off, or the $180k he got for winning the final round a couple of years ago.
So, I haven't read the whole thing. But here's what I got from what I read. Deegan, by taking out Hunter on accident, exposed that there was a fix in. Then to help Hunter win the championship, he didn't pass either Jett or Hunter in the 1st moto, placing 16th. Then, in 2nd moto, he double proves Jett wasn't hurt, by getting 2nd in secondmoto from 16th in the 1st moto, proving Jett could in no way, have gotten 11th then 6th in the 2nd, with a way better start. All of this, from a guy who literally slowed down to let Shimoda catch and pass him, so he could take him out in last years smx. Just verifying I got that correct?
Sarcasm alert, for those who can't comprehend...
that ship has sailed....deegs will always be a punk just like his sister and brother will always be punks. brian ingrained it in them....
