He’s still got more marketability than some current factory riders. and he don’t even race. Him and Stewart got a strangle hold on that side of things.

Hated him as a kid because he was a prick. But....everyone was a prick on a factory suzuki (besides millsapps, nicest talented kid on a dirtbike ). Maybe not a prick, but very cocky ? Lawrence was both. Prick and cocky. Ha. Hell, for where he’s at today and what he’s been through I respect that. And still riding....good on him.

Dungey might of retired a legend of the sport but Lawrence did what he wanted, when he wanted, however he wanted. Wonder if dungey even throws a leg over the bike—-probably has a panic attack just doing it. Poor dude probably can’t even enjoy riding a dirtbike. All that stress....

Lawrence didn’t have to train or do shit but get on a bike and kill it. Not sure if we will ever get another one like him.

So you respect and admire the infamous "cocky prick" over the famous and well liked 4 time SX champ/legend?

Honestly nothing about that to me was must watch.

I was mid 20’s in his hayday and nothing about him seemed cool even then. It’s way less so now. Yea, he didn’t give cookie cutter answers. Lots of guys over the years have done that. RD has, RV has. But those guys have been on the box so many times, and have been asked the same questions over and over, that’s what causes robot answers.

People forget to mention that he wasn’t exactly a stand up guy, or how many times he had resources and money put into a program for him, and he’d no show.

Where was he again in 2010 when RD5 won both titles his rookie year?

I've never been a hater to any professional motocross racer. ( Well maybe the Russian hitman Victor Popepenko when he took out Falta).

First time I saw Jason Lawrence was my one and only time to Lorretta Lynn's in 2004. I didn't even know who he was but all I know is that guy on the Suzuki was one of the smoothest and fastest Riders out there with some really creative lines on the track.

Yes it's been well documented on the mistakes he has made in his career but I don't know anyone who hasn't made any mistakes in their lifetime.

I do know that he was one of the first professionals to donate to Danny Magoo Chandler and that was pretty cool to me.

I do think the Motocross community in general missed out on what could have been an exciting rider to watch but he's a grown man and made his own decisions whether they were right or wrong he's the one that has to live with them.

He brought excitement to the arena and was like nobody else, that was part of the reason I was a fan. Jason had natural talent in spades kind of like Ron Lechein did yet nobody piled on the Dogger like they do Jason.

Yeah Ronnie did not do the stuff Jason did but Jason also did not try to sneak through Japanese customs with a bag of weed in his luggage while he was a member of Team Honda.

Both these Riders could have had much more successful careers if only they had buckled down and stayed focused. But I will not condemn them for that. There short but exciting careers was fun to watch and we all missed out on that whether you admit it or not.

Just to be clear, most of the Lawrence fanboys would be the first guys to hang a bike thief from a branch til he assumed ambient temperature.

But they heap praise on a guy who stole another man's ear, with his teeth...........

If you are "doing what you want to do" and it sends you to prison, you probably aren't really "doing what you want to do". You are probably suffering from a mental disorder and need help, not adulation from enablers.
