As soon as I saw the wave by I thought.. I can’t wait till Tuesday to see what James says 😂

James did a lot of talking but didn't really say much on the subject

Bro, I was thinking the same thing.

didnt say much on it? he stated that jett likely did it thinking it would help his points… tf you mean?

He specifically talked about it for about 4 minutes or so. He totally covered it.

@@bradpowell843 but he didn't make a judgment on it

Wouldn’t it be hilarious if Roczen and Jet tied on points, but the win went to Roczen because of the extra last Moto win😅

The HIGHS and LOWS of the night really made it so much more special . Once Shimoda passed Haiden I thought the overall might slip away. It was so nerve racking to see Haiden come back moto 2. I’m so glad he won the race clean too so there was no doubt. I couldn’t calm down until the final turn! Talk about entertainment and excitement! Congrats you earned that # 1 DEEGAN 🏆

Crazy how no one talks about Shimoda. I think Shimonda is next year's favorite to win IMO

James just talked about Jo for 10 minutes straight 🤔

He struggles half the season if he can fix that hes an absolute savage

@@baby-sharkgto4902 besides this segment dum dum

I think he's going to be handicapped by the Honda. It visibly slower than the PC and Star bikes. If you get bad starts in the 250 class you're f$cked

JS is the best in the 🌎 at giving technical breakdowns, and being entertaining while doing it! ✌️

Yup, Bubba is the best by far. I'm getting disappointed the MX world hasn't caught on and pushed this show to a million+ subs by now. James is doing a great job, and deserves better numbers. Need more guests, too. Also, as much as I love RC and appreciate him, James is a superior commentator for TV, it's time to make James the permanent guy in the booth, with Ricky giving race reports on the track.

The "Australian Santa Clause" line had me in stitches 😂

James “5 out of 4 people struggle with math” lol I lost it

I think Jett was trying to play the numbers game and coming from outdoor got confused… I do think them other dudes do feel disrespected though. It’s gonna make for an awesome finale!

i think he mustve thought kenny got p4 in the first race so a 4-1 beats sextons 2-3. your right though gonna be a hell of a finale

I think Jett was being truthful. Truth hurts. Kenny was just embarrassed.

Waited all season to see these races. We watched the race to see if anyone could beat Jett. Just at the last lap we got ripped off.

JS is taking his riding analysis to the next level. Wow, great episode.

The only time I was okay with someone letting them pass is when James Stewart was so bored in Motocross he let Chad Reed catch up and pass him so he could challenge himself and race 😂😂😂 SAVAGE JS7

Those were absolutely wild times! I remember when Stewart let Windham pass him because the fans were booing, they thought it was dirty pass so James said “go ahead take the spot back.” But I think that was due to the level of respect for Windham.

This is my FAVORITE podcast. I enjoy this than the actual race day coverage from NBC. You provide so many details the average or even intermediate riders don’t notice! Thank you James ❤

He's the best. I'm getting annoyed that the MX world hasn't pushed him to a million+ subscribers, yet. James is doing such a great job in all aspects, and his detailed analysis is unmatched, every young rider should be watching this.

These guys should be paying for this coaching! Incredible insight

The fans are the ones that paid for Jett letting Ken pass. Everyone has waited all the last half of the season to see someone battle Jett. The battle every one wanted to see and Jett bailed on it anyway you look at. Still think Jett is awesome but was disappointed to see end that way ?

Well said. Fans got robbed

Haiden made the 250 class exciting. Let’s be honest, even the haters have to admit the talent and Drama made it way more intriguing than it would of been without him

Fully Agree... Win or lose your looking to see where he is on the track and what he is doing....

The 250 class didn’t have any former champions this year. I wasn’t excited for it coming into the season. But wow it overtook 450 especially outdoors! Haiden definitely made it spicy

Shimoda is fantastic, but I do question his aggression. I would love to see him punt hunter back.

Yeah, Jo is a bit too nice. At least he's starting to make passes, but if he wants to be a consistent winner or champ, you have to be willing crack a fender when it comes down to win-or-lose situations.

@@niko7903 dang, i wish i had said it so nicely. lol

Absolutely!!

we seen Jetts real speed in the first moto where he wanted to send a message, else he wouldnt bother going 10 seconds out front. 2nd moto he was just playing around out there. the kid just spouts whats on his mind off the cuff, he's laid it out truthfully. he's gonna do kid things. let him be Jett

Well said you nailed it 👍

Yeah what was his lap times to show that real speed?

He wasn’t playing. Ken just didn’t let him go. Ken had 15 seconds on sexton. Gtfo

@@kelvis1980a second slower than Kenny’s

@@SoleAddictionsJett had faster laptimes than Kenny both motos^^

Both classes are set up for an online pic finish. Brilliant idea with the progressive point system to make it a winner takes all. All the 450 rider front runners are almost too nice. Don’t see any of them punting the other. Now on the 250s. Danger boy may have the opportunity to completely earn his man card. For the first time in years I’m excited for a race.

I wanna see a family cast with Big James and Mookie lol

I think it was disrespectful. I think at his young age going 22-0 outdoors may have boosted his young ego so much that he couldn't take a world class rider like Kenny breaking him down and passing him without a stupid excuse. And that excuse was disrespectful to Ken and his family. I think jett has a rude awakening coming in sx. He's not experienced. He's got Eli, Kenny, Bam Bam, El homere coming for him. He may be talking a little too tough for his britches because he is in for a fuckn thunderdome come sx

I love to hear your thoughts on the old dog filthy phil performances in this smx play offs from lcq to what is he now 13th in points. Also do you think both the Lawrance boys just totally missed the suspension set ups in the first round because there bikes just seemed to work so much better this weekend so much more stable.

39:02 Great commentary! That is so badass to notice Jett hopping into the rut while Ken bangs and clangs through those braking bumps. Great noticing that and pointing it out to us. JS is The Man! Haines Cityyyyy. Clearwater here haha Cheers. JAH Rastafari

We need the rewind for the finals round! The buzz is just starting to fade

This! I'm worried about James, where did her go?

Man...I hope the whole pro class takes it personal like you said at 01:01:30 . 450's has been feeling like a parade since they fined Bam Bam & El Hombre into passivity.

“That’s take a B**** out worthy” Needs to be a meme 😂

14:20 Deegan got the HOLESHOT with 13th gate pick. You could tell his bike is fast off the gate 😮

Track layout at Chicago was great how it was ran over the wall and back in. This alone allows many new venues

Please keep this podcast going JS. It's amazing. And you and Chad are buds now! Deep down Ricky and James care about you. You Guys spend your entire lives racing each other!

Jett is the perfect example of slowing down to go faster. We have heard that forever, but it is damn hard to have that discipline

Here is what I think. Jett Lawrence let Kenny pass him so that he wanted to study how Kenny rides. If Kenny catches him in the last motto he knows how he rides. Notice how he then followed Kenny closely after. This is strategy. Class is in Session. Or Jett had a side bet😂

These boys are opening up for that money yo. 😂. These races have been fire.

Next weekend Jo sweeps it for the 250 SMX title and the 450s finish Ken 1st, Jett 2nd, and Chase 3rd, and German Chocolate takes the 450 SMX title and that extra $1million..... now THAT is a "baby gift" Jettson! 😂✌️ This finale is gonna be awesome, winner take all for both classes.....🤯🤯🤯

Jett letting Kenny by endures they both didn’t go down battling for the lead so Jett control the outcome from second. The SMX series has been awesome so far. Greatest thing to happen to the sport from a viewer’s perspective in 10 years.

I look forward to the rewind show almost more then I am looking forward to the races themselves. Thanks for all the great content JS7

When are we going to get '5 out of 4 people are bad at math' JS7 T-Shirts. I want one so bad.

Jo reminds me so much of Kenny..... they both have ridiculous speed and talent, but they almost ride too nice and don't get aggressive enough when necessary. Especially in the 450 class, u gotta be kinda dirty but not crazy, bc there are guys like Barcia and Webb who will gladly "take a b*tch out" 😂😂😂 I'm stoked af to see Kenny and Far East Coast building more confidence and kicking ass too, both guys have hard earned everything they got!✌️

Jo needs way more aggression. Too bad he's leaving PC tho I believe it's the wrong move.

@@JordanEmede_376 Yeah, makes me nervous about that move, too. Seems he's just finding his potential on the PC, and it could be a while until he's fully comfortable on the new ride. But, I do think he's turned a page, he's definitely more aggressive, but he still needs to be willing to bang fenders in win-or-lose situations. Similar to Ken, both of them need to be more selfish. Would love to see them both take titles this year.

Bro I kept waiting on deegan to pick up on Joe smos line bc he was hauling ass around that big outside turn and I was so shocked dangerboy wasn't railing that too keeping his speed up. Shot out to Joe for sure!!

FAR EAST COAST!! 🤙✌️ LFG!! Between Jo doing work in the 250 class and Kenny feeling all "racey" and giving those other guys hell..... it was a damn good weekend!! 😂 Can't wait for the finale, and then MXON

Bruh, RJ is gonna wreck shop and take a win. Their team is just EU bikes anyways.

​@@NeoMKLet me clarify lol.... it'd be cool to see Jo win the SMX title, he seems like a good kid, he's humble and he has crazy talent...... but I don't want Jo to win anything at the MXON 😂.... 🇺🇲 Team 'Merica 🇺🇲 all day bromigo, we're going for the repeat!! AP gonna show up big 🤞, but I do wish we had Deegan for the 250 class tho, RJ too crazy for his own good 😂

​@@NeoMKreally missing Eli for Team America right now tho, that dude always shows up when it matters

Team USA really doesn’t have the edge this mxon, might roll around with the 1 plate but won’t hold it for next year

@@coreyhunter7852 Entirely Plausible!

Jett putting his hand up saying he's gonna win is an Australian thing, super confident and backing themselves 100%, I'm from New Zealand so know how cocky those kangaroos are lol

The only time were not cocky is in the rugby union you kiwis judt kick our ass. But I give you kiwis alot of respect as you guy's have won a mx world championship with shane king he was a kickass rider both king brothers were

Confident. Not cocky

😂😂🇦🇺🇦🇺💪🤙💨💨

Chad Reed seemed more humble

While maybe not the main reason to wave Kenny by, Jett also now has the ability to say that nobody just ran him down and passed him because he deprived Kenny of the opportunity altogether. In a way, Jett actually helped Chase look better because Kenny was going to beat Jett before he could. I mean catch and pass.

If someone asked JS7 who gonna win tmrw he would definitely raise his hand 😂

It’s obvious how much the broadcast booth loses when you’re not there. JS7, danger boy and the Lawrence bothers are great for the sport right now.

#18 is having success as a young man that only has be seen by Tiger Woods. Let's all enjoy this time of our sport.

JS7 is almost as good at talking about racing as he a was at racing. I remember seeing him at Hillbilly Hills on an 80 holding it wide open through 3 turns every lap...

Patiently waiting for bubbas Finale breakdown

*Jo* will be on *HRC Honda* next year teaming back up with the *Lawrence* brothers. So he'll be training with them & they have a great friendship & be in a great mindset. So I think 2024 looks bright for *Jo* his biggest competition will be *Deegan & Star Racing Yamaha*

Its the gyco Honda boys back together. Joe and Vialle are going to win next year Deegan maybe 3rd. Vialle has been fast all year has had a lot of bad luck and rookie crashes in year 2 he will be so much better everyone forget he's a 2 time world champ and that's no throw away thing.

@@andrewpendergast5666 what do you mean everybody forgets he's a two-time mxgp champion they say that every time they talk about him. I think could be great outdoors next year but I think when it comes to endure as it's going to be Jo or Deegan but we're going to see some surprise performances by others

@@caddyjim8867 OK firstly the Deegan fans rightly/wrongly blindly believe in 238, and I am suggesting that hey guys he isn't going to have it all his own way. I think Ryder D, Vialle, Joe even RJ if he's healthy are going to give Deegan more than he can handle.

@@andrewpendergast5666 we're talking 2024 show going off of this year. We don't even know which coast each are riding 250SX East 2023 1 #96 Hunter Lawrence 241 2 #238 Haiden Deegan 183 3 #63 Max Anstie 182 4 #58 Jordon Smith 159 5 #57 Chris Blose 143 6 #6 Jeremy Martin 132 7 #29 Nate Thrasher 120 8 #128 Tom Vialle 120 250SX West 2023 1 #1W Jett Lawrence 223 2 #24 Rj Hampshire 186 3 #43 Levi Kitchen 156 4 #56 Enzo Lopes 149 5 #49 Mitchell Oldenburg 131 6 #34 Max Vohland 121 7 #48 Cameron Mcadoo 101 Yes it comes down to injuries if we have a healthy Austin forkner he could be a favourite Joe as out hurt also along with a couple others

James, do you feel this is a track you would have excelled at? I can only imagine you flying around this thing laying up to second

Hey, Bubba that last segment in the video was so funny I was pissing with laughter 😂 thanks for the gift it made my day🎉 Next time you talk to Jett tell him nothing beats 2x 1st place 😂😂😂

That moment when you think you are doing the right thing and all hell breaks loose... "Did I do that?" 😂

That perfectly encapsulates my thoughts and feelings. Let’s see how the comp responds to being punked by the kid! JS7 let them know we need to see some aggression!

"WINNER TAKES ALL", WILL BE A GREAT RACE

Took Kenny’s chance to prove he can be faster then Jett depending on the track and set up

This

I’d be pissed if I was Kenny

Yeah, I agree, I think it was a bit disrespectful of Jett. I think he should've just not raced him too hard, just because it wasn't worth the risk, but to wave him by and tell everyone why was unnecessary and rude. I think Ken was going to get him anyways, perhaps because Jett didn't need to win, but even still, I think Ken had the ability and speed to do it straight up on that track, but he and we were robbed of that. I think Ken is going to be really strong this year in Supercross, he's healthy again (cross fingers), conditioning is looking to be back on point so hopefully fading is in the past, and he's just in a really good place in his life with his wife and kids. I really like Jett, it's been very exciting, been a fan from the start, but first and foremost I'm a Roczen fan, I've been pulling for him since his MX2 days. To see him miss titles and have those injuries, there nothing I want more this year than a Roczen Supercross title! Hoping Ken gets a bit mean this year, too, he's earned the right to punt a few nobs off the track, looking at you, Coop and El Hombre!

​@@jessestewart8285Kenny said after sleeping on it he's super pissed because no one has been able to beat Jett all season and just as he was about too, Jett and his ego gave Kenny the wave by. 🤬

Your my favorite rider of all time your js259 to me the most legendary number to ever be on a bike

Agreed. You should have seen him in person @Budds Creek 2003. I was there and he was smoking! 😂😂😂

I love when James gets constewed and stewed in one sentence 😂

@ 39:00 😎 The way JS explains (and shows) the difference in how Jett gains his slight advantages in so many ways is exactly why JS7 is the real 🐐 of moto!..... nobody, and I mean NOBODY gives better technical breakdowns than JS, plus he's way more fun and entertaining than RC too 😂😂😂 Jk lol no offense meant and shoutout Ricky, nothing but respect for the legend ✌️

It almost seemed to me that Jett was feeling the pressure from Ken not knowing what his mindset was so instead of chancing it he let him go by.

One of the few comments to point this out why risk a hard pass from ken when you can coast in second for the overall. All these ego comments seem like they are triggered from the sport being boring with Jett winning all the time.

Such a good episode. Thank you James and Cole Beach!!!!

After how JL spoke about letting KR by...Kenny is going to be out to prove a point this weekend! Lets go KR!!! show the young man, you don't need anyone to let you bye.

I was watching Stewart highlights, this guy was in another world

I totally agree James Shimoda is riding the best he ever has impressive yes Pro Circuit has gotten the Kaws running real good finally and it shows you can see the acceleration is close or equal to the Yamaha but Joe is kicking ass riding awesome Haiden is just being Haiden still in the fight and never gives up you nailed that James about Haiden and being a rookie is impressive, Hunter is Being the 250 Champ and it showed in Chicago Saturday nite he rode really focused and careful but it was enough to win, its gonna be wild next weekend can't wait As always JS7 Awesome video so in depth!!!!

Australian Santa Clause 😂🎅🏽 let’s go Jett 🎉

I think you missed Jo running great lines, he was running lines he worked on in the first moto, made them even better second, but everyone watched what he was doing first moto. 450 boys, run Jo,s lines in the first, 250 only second. I recon Jo has had perfect race record, about to peak I think/ hope. Getting back with the Lawrence boys, Jo will be a force 🤙

I think Jet didn’t want to fall trying to keep Kenny from passing over pushing too hard for the win. If he fell he wouldn’t have had the overall.

Everyone on the stand should of raised their hands to the "Who think's they're going to win tis weekend"

Although the points didn’t matter in the SMX format for Jett n Chase, I feel there was nothing wrong with putting more on Chase. Teammates and team orders go out the door when there’s 1 million dollars on the table. Sexton is going to KTM anyways and Chase would have tried to take away Jett’s perfect season so game on.

Man I love when you get all worked up during stewed, that’s what keeps me coming back 🤪

Jett thinks in Championships and $ this is a business and Roczen thinks in race wins! I agree he definitely wasn’t afraid of getting passed. The baby gift was like hey bro it helps you to get bonus and it helps me in the championship - win/win for us both! Champions understand can’t please everybody always going to be smoke especially when winning!

Like Haiden said, got to have that DOG in you…🇺🇸

I want to see you design a supercross in 2024. I think you might do something very creative with great line options for passing... and fun sections. What do you think James? We hung out when you were Mini A in FL on a RV rooftop watching races at Gatorback. I gave you some motivation... I was doing a line called Thrill Seeking Threads/TST... former FL 125A.... Was at Dade City the night your Dad brought you onto the scene. I like all the guys battling... Would love to see Danger bro send the Ghost Ride! I'd like Sexton to redeem himself. ✌😎🏁

Well one scenario Jett may have been thinking also with Ken by would have been helpful putting him in between Ken and sexton making sure chase didn’t pass Ken for 2nd, well that’s if chase was closer of course but Jett may have not known that

... Good show,, great race analysis and very entertaining,, keep it up!!!

😅 "Australian SantaClaus" Love this show, keep up the excellent work JS7. German Choclate Boys for MXoN 2023!

Jet can do whatever he wants lol he is just playing.🎉

Maybe you are right. This weekend will be a good test.

Curious how Chase's energy drink sponsorship is going to play out. Currently a Monster rider and KTM is a RedBull squad. If he switches to RedBull are he and the Lawrence bros technically still teammates 🤔

Kenny was on it man

I agree, I felt the pass was coming, so Jett tapped out!

He barley could go Jett’s speed trying as hard as he could I don’t think he had anything left to pass unless he took him out.

@@440tomcatstraight up lost the weekend before and not even by a little

Hes so quick on that rmz

​@brysonswink2808 He kept it 2 seconds and under. And was catching him before Jett let him by. Not sure how you figure he couldn't keep up. They were both gapping the field and Kenny had the fastest lap 8 out of 10 laps, as well as fastest qualifier.

They had mxgp races on f1 tracks so vialle felt comfortable

Hunter came back strong as well.

I don't think Haiden had anything for Hunter even without the mistake on the finish line. And the places where you could pass seemed so far apart that you don't even have to worry about cross-jumping or anything. the sand turns. a couple other turns were also very rutted (e.g., 2 turns before the wall jump). everyone got caught in one or the other and when the other line was hit just right it looked worlds faster. but he definitely didn't have the pace that night.

not making excuses but if you watch his video he dad did not want him to race he was so sick strep and tonsil swelling. Guess we will see what happens at the next race.

@@localtoys731 ok. irrelevant to my post. but ok. (he didn't have the pace, and the track was such that hunter could pass w/o worrying about haiden doing stuff like he did at thunder valley).

⁠@@daneg also bro he 1-1 without doing anything like that with pressure from Hunter, Deegan was still finding his footing at thunder valley

@@marko0os268where?

@@marko0os268 cool story "bro." this may surprise you, but I'm a deegan fan. I like the idea of him winning. he. had. nothing. for hunter at chicago. full stop. IN THIS PODCAST, JS7 alluded to Hunter maybe having to deal with deegan blocking him. So I pointed out that such behavior, which deegan has done in the past and therefore must be accounted for in the future, wasn't going to come into play at chicago. but if we're really going to get into the dirt on this, are you really gonna sit there and say "he was just finding his footing" in TV and then declare it perfectly safe to run around him b/c you're faster than he is (that night) and he knows it? really? no...really? please.

JS you are as funny as hell🤣🤣 loved watching this & have subscribed cheers from Australia

I think Hunter got lucky that he didn't get the whole shot because running second you could see the lines, this is something the guy in first cant see, especially in these conditions, not like a supercross track, thats small and you can see the other side just from the next lane, in this case, the person running up front can't see, second place can see the lines of the person in front of them, compared to the person who got the holeshot and you can see where they're losing time and where they're not and you can change your lines up which is what happened Haiden. Just pick some bad lines and they ended up getting them just like the Finish line jump, the little burm there that was working before after 40 other bikes have gone through it about five or six laps it finally just blow it out, he didn't have anything to lean on anymore when he came in there and so when he leaned into it there you go, it gave away so Hunter could see that and so Hunter could go a different line or he knows he couldn't lay it over no more like that so, thats why I think Hunter got lucky,I mean don't get me wrong, I did learn something this weekend that getting the whole shot which in a lot of cases in most cases your good to do that but unfortunately in this case it's was nighttime and it was dark and the track was really hard to see and couldn't really see the lines changing as you was going around the track where the guy behind you could see how your motorcycle was reacting in those lines and they could pick different ones so in this case being upfront might not have been the best thing for the first 10 minutes compared to being second behind the person and watch the track develop and that's exactly what happened to Haiden this weekend, it wasn't Haiden's riding as much as it was just line choices that he just couldn't see changing like everybody behind him could, granted that still don't mean Haiden would have won, we don't know these things, we not prophets or anything, but I can see how it failed him this weekend in thise conditions compared to getting the whole shot on a day time out doors track.

The things these guys like james see blows my mind. True masters of the sport.

I totally agree. These former riders/commentators point out different aspects. I appreciate how JS7 explain the physical ability, mindset and race skill of the riders.

💯

The thing nobody is talking about,, Kennys Dad was at the race. Jett lived with and was coached by Kennys dad when he was young. I feel it was his way to repay the Roczen family without it effecting his chances.

OMG, I hope Jett can roll out from this..🙈 I don’t want to even imagine, all the 450 guys - best from best, before gate drops, keeps you in their mind.🤷‍♂️🤔

Jett is a genius in the sport and will take the comp out. But this drama will make it a grand finale

Interesting to learn that what Jett did would've had some utility if the points structure worked like it does in outdoors (ie, points per moto). Cool to learn stuff like this. Thanks JS7!

Thats exactly what happened man, people think he was scared of Kenny 😂 he was trying to be strategic and it didn't pan out 😂 this week will be the real test on sx

Agreed Bro,he should have just tucked the front end and kept that shit to himself

By raising his hand he got even deeper into their heads than he already is !!!! Good on him!!!

Please give us the final rewind 🙏

Kenny was flying, but Jett kept slowing bit by bit to try and let Kenny by naturally - for the bad math reason he gave. Finally got frustrated with it not happening and waved Kenny by. Was that out of line and backfired on him? Yup. But Jett was gone...Period.

I don’t think Jett had anything to prove this weekend. That was an outdoor track through and through. We will see how Jett does this week on supercross. Now he definitely has a point to prove to see if he can handle Ken Roczen and sexton.

“ he slapped that baby” go James.

Can't wait to see it go down. Keep 'em coming Bubba! Oh damn, time off coming.

Who knows what happened with Jet, only him & team. Probably was a Honda issue, some sort of mechanical. Just butter up the finish. Different story. Millions & millions in sales, win race’s Sunday, sell bikes Monday. It’s way it’s always been. Gets people talking too 🤙

Man the old boys are Gunna be pushed around next yeah with Hunter coming through,herd he's as fast as jei on 450 just needs to sort starts yay

Now I’ve got to watch 2002 unidilla again..for the sixty seventh time 🤣

Jett is you James but you still the legend. Def support Jett on his journey man. But you was in the hot seat your whole life pretty much about your talent every race you was criticized like the world was about to end

@ 0:28 you said 5 out of 4 people struggle with math 🤔😂. Great podcast...continue to grow.

I think Jett is going to regret giving Kenny that "gift".

Why 😂

Haiden racing sick was super impressive

That is the best stewed ever , crying with laughter over here 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I think it was a Jedi mind trick. Ken He's thinking did he give it to me or ???😊 Stewart your best 👌.
