My recollection of him riding the other factorys track was that he just went and cut the fence and had 2k cash waiting for when the team manager rocked up????

But I’ll also be the first to add he did it by cutting the start.... but that’s why we are fans! Jlaw gave no F’s and had talent on a dirt bike that only few ever know what that’s like

I want to know why people are comparing him to Hannah? They were nothing alike, if you know the sport a comparison to Jammin Jimmy is much more in the wheel house and even then really no one compares to the antics of J law. I hated him, team Dungey did. As you get older though and look at the sport from the outside our guys are so boring these days. There are less than 10 personality’s left from the GPs and the States. Not saying you need personality’s for great racing but it does help the sport grow.

I have always heard people talk about the lack of “personality” we see in the riders today vs how it was and I think a big reason for that is the level of training and overall seriousness needed to win championships has escalated so much since the good ole days, Which I think kinda sucks

Nothing will ever top, having J-Law hog tied with giant zip ties in front of my car at Budds Creek 2014. Saturday Night - no shirt, no shoes, pants unbuttoned in the party camping area..... Hmmmmm https://www.instagram.com/p/qhLwDcqihB/

The guy hasn't raced for the better part of a decade now and still has tons of fans. If you can't see how that's good for the companies that he would represent, I'm not sure it's worth explaining.

Jlaw gave 0 f***ks and everyone either loved him or hated him for it. I bet if someone dropped a collab gear set or goggle it would fly off the shelf and the guy hasn’t even been around in years!

What is badass about throwing away a boatload of talent?

He was watching porn on a flight and they asked him to turn it off and he laughed and told them to f**k off, and kept watching.

What that idiot didn't know was that one of the people who asked him to turn it off was a Honda big wig who put a stop to their offer to him the minute he landed.

Yup, the kid was a reeeeal smart one.

I love the guy. Walks to the beat of his drum and had talent beyond 99.99%

Hard to really measure talent but I'm sure many would agree to JL having more talent than Dungey.
Dungey was most likely a corporate puppet and danced the way through his career to someone else's beat reaping the rewards.

Hard for me to see how anyone could admire a guy who had so much but achieved, in comparison, very little. This thread and its tales, if true, makes JL look like a joke.

Like I wrote earlier, hope he is OK with his decisions as maturity would bring remorse for most rational human beings having lived 'that life'

Only just coming across this video today, must have been around the time he was planning his comeback. Dude has no goggles, throws hos gloves off, gets roosted by Ferry and still throws down.. Also, anyone remember the Beavis and Butthead themed article that Racer X ran with JLaw and Josh Hill?

I think it was the race at freestone when he and josh rolled the car. Earlier that night we were cruising the pits on my friends golf cart all with a snoot full of beer. My buddy kept saying I am going knock on jlaws door. After several more beers we stopped outside his motorhome and my buddy knocked on thr door and some dude opened it up and it was like cheech and chong in there. My buddy calls jlaw out then proceeds to introduce us to him as if they have known each other for years. He hung out and talked until we couldn’t talk anymore.

Next morning we were out by the left hand sweeper before the big table that was before the wall jump. Picture this freshly groomed track jlaw about the 3rd or 4th person around and on the second lap he came around wfo pitched sidways in the deep loam, flatrack style, bars at full lock, clutch hand doing the winshied wiper on the goggles, WFO, one handed, re gripped just in time for the lip of the table. We all flipped the eff out and was waiting for his next lap and he never came around again and from what I remember he didn’t even race. Think that was the same race when Josh went really well. All the Freestone natty’s seem to be all jumbled in my brain so forgive me about the race details but the jlaw rad moments definately happened. Rock on Jlaw! Live it up...

I’m probably remembering this wrong, but didn’t he participate in a pit bike race at Millville the night before or after the national one year? He didn’t even ride during the actual professional race but he showed up for practice in the morning. After getting to the track pretty late he shoved his way past a line of probably 50 riders. Since nobody did anything about it he made it all the way to the front of the line before practice began. Don’t think I saw him after that. Maybe he spun a couple uninspired meaningless laps. Wish I’d seen him running the pit bike. Dude was fun to watch ride.

And I thought I was drunk tonight. Corporate puppet? This isn't WWF, Einstein.

Can you even imagine being that damn good?Laughing Dude totally blows over a berm, hops back on the track like nothing happened, then passes him back in some sand rollers while breaking the sound barrier and looking back at Ferry. All without goggles or gloves. Holy hell man that’s insane.

I’m just reading this thread trying to think of Sexton or any of these 250 guys being such a badass....and I just can’t see it.

J-Law was the last of an era and arguably 15 years late. Hopefully he gets paid some day to make a book or movie.
