It might be nothing, but when the gate drops, I noticed that Jett lets the bike move before his body. It's like he gets the bike moving, and then grips onto it, rather than trying to get his bike and body moving at the same time. Ever tried to push a car? Getting it going is the hard part. Maybe by letting the bike move first it can accelerate faster in the first half second after a gate drop. That half second will translate to a good start by the time the get to the first corner!

That is an amazing comparison. If something like that was posted before I have never seen it.

I thought the pros hold on with their legs but then i see Jett throwing his leg way off the peg in the air.  Is that to help turn, scrub, or pop with the suapension?  If his body is above the bike does that keep it lower?
