I believe that the first name was his agent and then the rest were team members.

The Anarchy in the AMA design was one of the best ever. Anybody still got a picture of Billy Mackenzie's Avril Lavigne one?

Those are some cool pieces of helmet art.

Jason one easily one of the most naturally-talented riders I've ever seen. Fortunately (for the fans), and unfortunately for his career, he also was equipped with a big league F it attitude. He could push buttons like no other, especially on Dungey.

The night he won his 250 West title, I went to his motorhome after the race for an interview. I was met at the door by Scott Sepkovik, who told me, "Jason's not doing interviews tonight." Apparently the party had already started.

J-Law made the races more exciting. He freaked out Dungey and got in his head. He liked to mess with RV to get him pissed off on the track. And he was a natural born champion at pissing off the AMA on and off the track. But he was very fast, he loved to party, did not care much about training, he would just ride and he would still kick ass and won a championship. J-Law had natural talent and he was very similar to Ron Lechien in many ways. Hope he is having fun somewhere.
You remember one of the last races he came back for a moto. He ran up front for quite a bit of the first moto before getting winded and had to back it down. Speaks to his talent level for sure. Wish he would have stuck around.

Every time I see Webb, I think of JLaw but only Webb so far has been able to keep his composure. I just hope Webb finds the speed to run up front. I think it could make some sparks fly if he started winning.

Wow he really showed Dungey and RV.

Ryan Dungey......8 Championships and 80 Wins
Jason Lawrence..0 Championships and 0 Wins



I sure someone will point out J-Lo won a Regional Championship so
Ryan Villopoto.....10 Championships and 83 Wins
Ryan Dungey......9 Championships and 92 Wins
Jason Lawrence..1 Championship and 3 Wins

I honestly don't get some of your fascination / admiration for the guy.

If your son turned out like J Law would you be so happy for him? I'm betting not......

if my son invested his money like j law did and afforded himself the ability to play like j law does, i wouldnt care at all. Almost everyone looks at him as a coulda been, has been, whatever. He set himself up for life financially. More than anyone can say for 99% of pro motocrossers

What kind of investments did he do? I find it hard to believe he set himself up for life with 3 wins as a pro? Depends on how you live your life i guess.
