Pro Motocross Thread

No offense but there’s a pretty big difference between Supercross today and pedal bikes in the 90’s.

 

He also has the biggest crowd in the pits. All of the teams and their sponsors would gladly take that.

 

No offense taken. I always joked I beat the snot out of McGrath on the BMX track so he focused on dirt bikes. All kidding aside I was lucky enough to grow up racing Jeremy before he focused on motocross. It was cool seeing a friend break all the records. I’m looking forward to watching Jett break some records before Deegan tries to catch up to him.

 

I don't think Deegan has it. He's very talented, but I think Jett is in his own class. Only thing stopping Jett is injuries, lucky for the rest of the world everyone gets injured even the top guys. Once Deegan moves up he's going to be J stewart vs RC, phenomenal rider going up against a generational talent. Hunter, Sexton, Degan all fighting for 2nd place.

I cant wait to be proven wrong though!!

 

James Stewart was a once in a life time rider and racer. If he could have learned to ride at 80% he probably would have all the records. But his style was WOT. Which leads to a lot of crashes on the 450 when you are racing for the win. Deegan is WOT too. Sure he will have some crazy ass crashes when he jumps on the 450.

 

My prediction is that Jett and Deegan will push each other so much on and off the track that we will witness some epic crashes. It should be entertaining.

 

I don't think Jett will change his style, he's just such a smooth rider. slow is smooth, smooth is fast n all that. I think Deegan will lose it when he's not the alpha and go full send, get some wins, get a whole bunch of crashouts. will be fun to watch.

If he was once in a lifetime then what's RC? I'm not bashing JS, he was my favorite rider, and phenomenal talent as stated. but he just couldn't get RC. WOT is why I liked him, like Tomac and Deegan. But if you cant stay upright you cant win. I don't think any of them would be successful at 80%, just like Jett isn't a WOT guy. Deegan was prob 85-90% after his crash and couldn't even pull it off.

 

Finally watched all of spring creek. It's such an awesome track to watch the guys just hammer it out. Probably my favorite race to watch.
Problem is Jett is getting faster coming up through the pack. After that first moto tip over he was just waxing guys.
The JMart exit was awesome to watch.

 

He rode off into the sunset. Not many dudes get to write their ending in this sport.

 

Jett is successful at 80% right now. He has more in the tank and doesn’t have to use it unless he tips it over in the first lap. He can hang 3-5 seconds on any other 450 rider in a lap, and that alone makes anyone back it off and settle into position.

Deegan’s riding style is starting to remind me of Villo’s 250 days. Can’t stand the kids attitude, but he is absolutely demoralizing the 250 class and can do whatever he wants there. I don’t think he has the gas for Jett yet, but I think he’ll come out swinging right away when he finally bumps up to the big leagues. He generally rides without crashes or injury which should transfer well to the big bike where you don’t have to hang it out as much.

 

Time will tell if Deegan can be humble and learn on his 1st full season on the 450. Everyone is talking about Jett. But let’s not forget guys like Plessinger, Sexton, and Anderson won’t just let Deegan by easily. Hell his teammate Webb will not be easy on him either.

 

Too bad I can't watch the fucking race because they won't lay off the goddamn drone

 

You have the emotional control of a 12 year old.

 

Deegan still injured or Shimoda that good? Both? the off time should allow him time to heal up.

Jett looking human. More evident than ever how crucial starts are. Next race will be telling. If Jett can gap the whole field, then this was just an off day, even robots and aliens are allowed those. If Sexton wins then you really have to wonder why he was such a bitch and sat half the season when "nothing injured, just banged up"

 

It was nice to see someone else win. It might have been a fluke though since Jett said he thought he was going to poop his pants. The riders have so many stomach and health issues. It’s ridiculous.

 

Whereas you're just an ignorant disrespectful little bitch.

 

I missed the interviews.. he said he was about to shit himself? There's a side of red flags you don't often think of lol

 

Back in my mtn bike days I had one bad tummy ache prior to a cross country race. Boy was I glad I was able to find a private toilet to destroy. No way I could have raced 21 miles that day let alone race a dirt bike 30 minutes.

 

The first 10 minutes of 450 moto 2 is what we were all waiting for the last 2 years.
