This kid has been smooth, and unbreakable from pressure recently. How do you think he will do the rest of 2017 outdoors?

I'm going to be a little bit of an optimistic fan of the local kid. Top 10!

I'm definitely going. I told JCoop a while ago I'd be at his first pro race no matter where it is. He's like a little brother to me...it's surreal how this all went down. Very exciting
Watching this kid at Loretta's on racertv my god he is silky smooth on the bike probably the smoothest I've ever seen also damn impressive considering how rough the track was.
Who saw him jump over the huge roller before the right hand sweeper before the whoops. Grant and Jason missed it and I about spit out my Alamo beer.

He was doing it in qualifying. Not sure how much faster it was. Looks a bit faster. He finished about where I expected.

Impressive moto to finish second. Nearly won the race there, too

Right?! Incredible riding. I think he for sure can be top 10. Really impressive to watch, and in terrible conditions to boot.

I saw that too, it was badass. Bogle was doing it too.

Impressive ride from that kid today!! Was definitely one of the highlights seeing an AM rider's first pro race....and then get 2nd in the 2nd moto?? Again....Impressive!! I had a feeling Justin would be strong with what he did at LLl's , but gawd dang , that was an awesome ride!
" And there goes Jeffro. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.”
His style is awesome and that jump of the lat roller was insane. This the public school kid right?
Went to KROC a few years ago and had never seen or even heard of Justin Cooper. (Sorry, I live in TX and don't really follow the amateur scene). After witnessing him completely dominate every moto he was in, it was quite obvious he was special. The kid just flat out ran away from the field. He was especially impressive in the 250 class where he mopped everyone up on his YZ-250 against a field of 4-strokes. The kid can ride the sh#t out of a 250 2-stroke. Anyway, been a fan ever since. Hope he finds much success in his pro career.
That 2nd Moto was a product of a good start in a pure mud race. 10-15th with a top 10 in 1 Moto for the last 2 races.
Kid has great speed and I expect him to be a top 5 guy next year for sure.
