Yeah, that was a pretty crazy race. When the first moto first lap Deagen goes down along with Hunter, I thought it was over for him.

The conspiracy theorists are out in droves, but there's also word of Jett limping bad in the pits.

I'm just happy Hunter finally got one. It would have been hard to forget for the rest of his life if he never won a 450 Championship against the BIG shadow of little bro.

It's not all that outlandish. 

But I'm not going to delve into the, "fucking 38" quagmire here.

But I will say that it's a most deserving championship title for the most solid rider we've seen all year long.

And even dating bacl to A1, and last year's MXON, and the three SMX rounds.

Yup, a healthy Jett and probably different outcome. Even with Sexton and Tomac out, they were threats only if they got way out front early. Hunter almost never let anyone get way out in front early. With the exception of Jett. Even Prado could not hold a lead on Hunter if he was close. Obviously ruling out Ironman as an outlier. 

MXA and RacerX are posting that Tomac came out and is calling it a career after these next three SMX rounds.

Yup. Saw it in moto. 

Quick question, well more of an ask, who do you all think should go?

List them. 

super_fan_38 is at the top of the list. 

The guy's a legend.

I was also lucky enough to see his dad race at a few norba nationals. 

And in 1990 at the first UCI/Norba world's in Durango.  On his drop bar, carbon Yeti.

Same race Julie Furtado had a breakout ride on her Yeti.

The wolf man, formerly herlich for starters. 

You know their usernames more than I 

Problem is, they just reinvent themselves. 

Wolf man has to be one of the worst posters to ever be on Vital. It's weird how some people just love to be hated and go against the grain, something I will never understand.🙄

Even though I do not buy into the conspiracy theory with what went down last weekend, I do find this kinda funny.....😂

Yep, that's the way I see it as well. 

Long time fan of many forms of motorsports, dating back to the stone age.

Saw countless races where Denny Hulme sat behind Bruce McClaren, then later Peter Revson.

Same in nascar with Pete Hamilton shadowing Richard Petty. 

Loyd Ruby to AJ Foyt. 

Brett Lunger to David Hobbs.

Swede Savage to Dan Gurney.

George Follmer to Mark Donohue

And an infinite amount of F1 drivers, loyally sitting behind their teammates. 

This scenario is indeed different. 

But even if the in foil crowd is right,  

So what ?? 

I've had an ankle/foot injury back in my DH days. And as does everyone else, came back too soon, rode just hard enough not to get hurt. Which inevitably happens.

Hunter earned it.

Agree that Hunter earned it. We're all well aware Jet wasn't 100% after coming back from injury at the start of outdoors, but in the past two years Hunter has GREATLY improved his race craft as compared the the rest of the field (who knows what Chase may or may not have had for him if he was in there), and one could argue we have Jett's incredible talent to thank for Hunter's improvement. Want to learn to ride faster? Ride with the fast guy(s) and keep pushing and improving.

So Jett ends up re-tweaking his ankle, and the sky is falling because the race is fixed? People are really interesting sometimes! 🤦‍♂️

I'll add this thought as well; I wish no ill will on Jett, but the thought keeps coming back to me that in time Hunter may surpass Jett in overall SX/MX wins. Hunter's career reminds me of Stanton, and Dungey while Jett's reminds of Stew; ridiculously fast, but he's had some tough injuries when Hunter seems to have the big crashes behind him. Hopefully they both do!

This thread being where it is was a great idea

The coolest thing you'll see on the internet all day...

I tossed a leftover pork chop over there yesterday evening. Buncha mangey dogs immediately came out fighting over it.

Most over there are the reason why there's so many warning labels on every damn thing...

Jett and Hunta fought tooth and nail throughout the whole amazing national series. 

Was Jett 100% ? No way. Will he ever get back to 100% ?  Its not looking good. Deegan is close but he isn’t in as good of shape as the Lawrence brothers going 100% for 30 + 2

MXGP and MX2...
...just watched the CBS-Sports coverage of the Türkiye round (I guess it is pronounced now as tur-key-uh)...
...hope those Coenen twins are healthy for the MXdN, Sasha just goes for it (watch the Moto1 recap)...
...I would like to see those twins do well at the MXdN and in the US next year.
