He is becoming like a cult hero with "Team Fried". AND the guy can moto, he would be a sponsors dream and he is becoming one of my favorites. Think all the drama when he was juniors with that pommy kid (can't remember his name races in World MX series) and where he is now and where Anderson is.

Look forward to his videos but also watching him ride as he hangs it out!.

Seems like a laid back mofo to me. Enjoy his riding and attitude.

Am I the only one that feels like if it weren’t a crappy old quality fish eye look it would be a lot better? Kind of makes me nauseous watching

I think that's part of the fried look.

It’s all just about appealing to a new audience. I think whoever is behind the videos is hitting the nail on the head, it’s not just the same whip vid with a trap beat run over the top.

If you were into baker 3, you would understand why they shot team fried the way it’s shot. If you don’t know what baker 3 is you probably dont like the way it’s shot.

I’m all for anything that gets the riders closer to the fans. He praises them after every weekend, it’s great to see.

I dig El hombre.. seems he actually wants to win... I can dig that...

Plus.... Looks like he has a decent marketing team behind him.... In this day and age, and at that level, you are selling a brand to the public.... And JA is way ahead of the curve...

I'll admit that I've flamed JA in the not to distant past for appearing to not be "serious" enough about his racing. I can also admit I was wrong. He's having fun and riding really well. There's a lot of different recipes for success and his is working out pretty good.

You need to get fried, man.

If someone has to get fried to understand something it is probably not really worth understanding.........

Congratulations to ja21 on his sx championship. I suspect with his history of bone head mistakes it will be his only one.

Glad he is finding other ways to capitalize on his "brand".

He will be well positioned when our sport takes the next step beyond cbd products.

Yaaaaaaaay..........

Love how loose JA rides and find myself liking him more and more. Other than maybe Malcom, I can’t think of a more laid back personality in the sport, which I also like. As for the vlogs, I have enjoyed some of the other riders videos, but really don’t “get” the Team Fried thing. It seems to working, though.

He's come a long way since being backhanded off his back by Friese's mechanic. #neverforget

JA seems a little bit like a surfer. He still really wants to win, but if not, he's still is being himself and having fun. Seems less likely to burn out at 26.
I don't get why all the down votes? Is it for the videos or for JA? I mean he is a Supercross champ with a interesting personality, what is the deal? Not everyone is suited to selling cornflakes like Dungey.

I love when people try to use the backhanded insult.....”He will only ever have one SX championship”, well I guess I’d say he’s better than most Whistling .

Yep. Pretty decent chance that Roczen and Tomac end up with zero, and I wouldn't call them slackers.

I have never liked El hombre as a racer - until recently - he definitely knows where the passing spots are on the track - and is probably the strongest guy out there, at not buckling to pressure.

He is also fast as fuuck.

Whats not to like about team fried? - 3 battlers having a good time and spinning shit yarns

At A1 this year he sure made himself out to be a punk at the ring ceremony. I would say he is a terrible ambassador for supercross. Not one interview or not once in the booth while hurt. He was MIA this SX season and he was the reigning champ.

Fuck supercross.

Its a show.
It is so money-driven it will steal any novel new sponsor from teams.
Its not grass roots.
Its a circus that doesn't pay its talent.

Do you know where he was then??? Why does he need to be at A1 when he was injured??

Looking back at it now he seems to have done the right thing - healed up right, got fit then back on bike to he ready for outdoors.
