I can't see whatever happened to Jett being major. He still rode 2 30+2 motos and was pretty damn respectable 2nd moto. What a beast. Just beat up. Hopefully
Chase is like The Terminator when he’s on. Hope Jett’s okay and we get to see these two swap moto wins this year.
Why?
I’m as patriotic as the next guy but what in the fuck is with these goons chanting USA like it’s MXDN at the podium. Didn’t anyone tell them it’s just pro motocross right now.

I think Chase putting the pressure on last week got Jett to think and ride different. He put on a clinic today.
(*Update: Chase and Hunter’s good riding may have gotten Jett to take chances but they say that triple section was changed a couple of times during the day so it could have been just bad luck with Jett usually clearing jumps he estimated but had a bad track obstacle this time where we haven’t seen him crash much like that. Others were struggling with the downhills being choppy and it just threw him off trying a jump he tested earlier).
Chase is the new healthy tomac beast mode. Eli is a retiring mcgrath mode.
I started maybe thinking Chase rode well since Jett wasn’t there with a gap to sustain him but like he said on the podium this was Chase’s day with his best effort put forward and he was gonna win eventually somehow kind of like how Emig said he was gonna beat McGrath fair and square. People can blame it on a flat tire but Emig just wouldn’t give up and forced MC into having to go on the defense or in this case Jett forcing the issue after Chase having the fastest lap time last week. He didn’t just win based on a Jett crash but took the W. Congrats esp with the drone showing him hanging it out. No one let him win, he was a winner.
Welp…..we are about to go to the most over watered track of the year. Thunder river valley. Take the fucking hose and truck away from the owner and workers at Thunder Valley right now.
The whole waving flags business seemed odd to me too. AP is popular enough as a cowboy where he doesn't need to hold a flag to get any extra fan support and people were gracious to cheer for hunter too. I can see Red Bud with flags for the 4th but it’s not even flag day.
Jett had an epic season last year….but that’s the best ride I have seen in many years!!
CONGRATS CHASE!!!!
That was totally kick ass!!!
I am relieved that Jett made his own mistake to end his streak instead of the accidental run-in he had with Dean Wilson last week kind of like a Danny Storbeck/Too Hip Rick Johnson incident that went down in history as someone to possibly blame or cause controversy for misfortune that could cut a career short where SX/MX is a tight dancing floor easy to accidentally step on toes or “break a leg”.
If him and chase aren’t on the MXON team, someone needs to be talked to.

I wouldn’t even call JCoop for any international affairs. One year he shows up in his panties on the podium and then last year he flaked out getting married. I like girls too sometimes but if she wants to spend her life with you I think she’d want to see you go represent your country instead of posing for pictures before she gets too fat for the dress she picked out with your podium money going out to Applebees sharing a milkshake.
250 press conference was just posted, sucks they aren’t live.
Pit Row
I’m a Jett fan, and hope he can still win the championship. That being said, even if he hadn’t crashed and would have won the first moto, if Chase still rides the way he did in moto 2, Jett still would have had his streak broken today. That was an absolutely epic ride. Congrats to Chase.
Isn't he younger than kitchen?
Kitchen got started later and was the top amateur award. Ty comes from an awesome family of racers but they can’t all be #1. Going privateer for a while built up his skills so stepping down to the smaller bikes is easier. He was putting in good 450 rides last year but had some bad luck and health issues like the appendicitis.
Yeah, the guy who have never passed him straight up for a win would have gone through the whole field and then passed Jett? Sure…
Unlikely. If Jett being beat up from the moto 1 crash was the only variable you changed he would’ve been at least several seconds ahead of AP who Sexton only caught with 2 corners left in the moto.
Umm you do know she comes from a wealthy family, right?
While true, I don’t think that matters much. They purposely planned their wedding to not interfere with racing and then MXoN changed the date. I can’t put the blame on either Justin or his bride…
The incel has shown up, get a life
Maybe they are proud of the flag? Proud of where they are from? What’s the big deal? Peoples feelings getting hurt?
You know that Jcoop scheduled his marriage date exactly so he could represent his country again and then the MXON got rescheduled again to this exact date right? No, obviously you don't.
You do realize they set the wedding date for after the MXDN and then the MXDN date was changed....
and just 1 race of the season for Chase.....but u win the title on your bad days.....Jett just showed yesterday.!
