He's at top of his game right now. All the others were not even at same level. Can he hold onto this conditioning and fitness ? Think about it, he's at his prime right now. Good for him, but people gonna hate on him like crazy because he's so good compared to the others...
Jett’s speed through rhythms is the key. Watching in person, he pushed through every face instead of taking the load and springing up. It honestly looks like Jett was going forward when everyone else was going up. It was kinda odd. I assumed he was gonna case every other jump but nope. Dude is something else
Exactly. Jett takes what the momentum gives him and uses it. Too many guys try to horse the bike against the physics at play and it just makes them slower.
Nice video, JH. I am so glad that I am living (56 yo) in an era that I get to watch and root for Jett. I have watched McGrath, Bradshaw, Stanton, JMB, Emig, Bailey, Carmichael, RV, JS7 etc. etc.... so it isn't like I have not seen pros amongst pros. Jett is the best I've seen, and it isn't close, so crafty. There will be another gifted rider someday that captivates everyone, but today it is Jett Lawrence, and it is an amazing watch every time he throws a leg over a bike.
I'm 52 & been riding my whole life, bedroom as a boy had Hannah, Marty, Ricky & all the others posted all over my walls from the magazines, they're the reason I rode Yamaha most of my life. I couldn't agree with you more on your comment, Jett may be from another planet.
@@DS-ur5rm He is a genuine dude. Another reason I like him. Did you see Jett fake kick start his bike during practice last week when Kenny went by... lol. It was funniest thing I've seen in a while. 🤣
The way Jett rides reminds me of when JMB came over from France and took McGrath and everyone else to school. Just super, super smooth rider that never looked fast but left everyone!!!
Johnny.I really appreciate the unique insights you bring to the table. I'm a long time offroad rider but I've never really thought hard about why I do, or how I do a particular section a certain way .Your assessments on various riders techniques is a real eye opener and learning opportunity for me.Thank you.
Jett banging bars with Anderson off the start was crazy, would love to get your take on how Anderson gets closed out by Jett on the start then comes back for the pass attempt by the first turn. Mad skills for Ando to pull that off.
I was on this so fast it won't count my thumbs up. That is awesome. Anderson and Webb surprised the 💩 out of me. Jett give my a pucker factor of 10.0 on the sphincter valve scale on the way he rides. i've been watching SX since 75 and the style of riding through the decades has evolved so much it's amazing. Anderson looked like th 22 Anderson.
I remember tallon volland in a gp race during the mid 90s on a factory kx250, there was this long straight with a sharp kicker jump in it maybe 5 to 6ft high and everyone else was hitting it and being shot uk into the air but tallon was wheelying into it flat out and hardly getting any air.it was mind blowing to watch and from then on I always watched him closely cos he was a very technical rider. Love your take on the riders form 👏
Don't forget, they changed the last single of the long rhythm section and stretched out the last single cause jett was jumping 5 out to the corner on press day, they slightly mentioned it on race day live but not on the night show!
Tremendous commentary Johnny thanks for the hard work. The way you break down the technical reasons behind why Jet is in a different league helps to put all the hype about him into perspective. No, he doesn't have magic powers😅 he has just taken the sport to the next level like Stewart did back in the day. I love watching him ride so much because the whole time I'm thinking "this is the new standard for the sport?!" We're literally going full MX vs. ATV physics in real life?! HELL YEAH!!"
i been saying this for a few years now... but to me Jett combines the best of my all-time favorite two riders... David Bailey and Rick Johnson. David's precision and creativity, with Rick's hammer-down aggression and fun loving personality. it's a thrill to behold.
Your ability to find these little things throughout the race is phenomenal. Thank you for bringing some enlightenment, the small things these guys are doing is insane
Correct me if this is inaccurate, but during your analysis @12: 40 when everyone else is using that "breaking" bump as just that, Maximus has a unique way of approaching it (as you pointed out) to stabilize his bike before taking the berm immediately after. It looks like he keeps his front-end light/lifted until that bump, where he then allows it to generate a force to compress his rear suspension. That force then travels forward through his chassis and into his forks, where he can then load the forks, and keep his front tire in contact with the dirt, giving him excellent traction and front-end confidence all the way through the berm to maintain his desired racing line. Coming from the world of street riding, dirt riding is a very different ball game, so I don't know all of the ins and outs, but I've kept up with the world of supercross for the last 3 years. It's entertaining seeing just how different the two worlds are while trying to apply fundamentals and foundations from the other side. First-time viewer and new subscriber. Great video with awesome technical analysis of riding style and finesse.
Don't forget Cooper Webb's line that he was using in the heat race that everyone else started using in the main. He changed the way everyone was racing just with that one line doubling onto the table.
Kool content; subscribed! LoL, I had a riding buddy named Micheal that looks and talks just like you. Freaked me out for a second when I found your channel. Looking forward to listening to your analysis as the year progresses. And yeah, Jett has a track awareness that is at another level. And he instantly adapts to every single little changing condition to take full advantage of each like no one else. I totally agree with your analysis about the little micro-second things he does that add up to seconds over time. I mean, how the hell does a 20 year old kid learn to go so damn fast so fast, lol. Just so awesome to watch this guy. Lastly, I'm all in on Webb right now. I think he's is going to be the one to give Jett some anxiety.
Jett looks exactly like Stefan Everts, those familiar with the GPs have been seeing this racecraft for years but it is new and extraordinary to the Merica fans
I look forward to this as much as Saturday. I'm sure I'm not alone on this though, would love to see you hook up with Danny Blair somewhere along the way, that would be a great conversation!
I know Jett "tripling" into the sand didn't look like anything special, but it was pretty cool seeing him hit the same exact line every single lap of the main and landing perfectly into that little sand berm without ever looking out of control.
.... in his mind, it was likely as easy as the start straight. Incredible rider, and every single race he gives us something else to ponder. Just a talent that no one else really offers. He may not win them all, but crashing aside, he will be right there. And I don't care how much better Tomac gets as the season progresses, he won't have anything for Jett other than a few races where it gets a little competitive for 6 minutes or so. Just my opinion.
I still can’t believe hunter didn’t make the f main event. That was the most shocking part of the night. It was a great nice of races.. 4 more days til San Fran!
Thoughts on Max losing 2 spots in the 250 main because of the Red Cross flag at the end of the rhythm section?? Seems like kind of a grey area in the rules of when you can get back going.
Sexton was trying to carry that front wheel across the starting line. Seems a little agro though, might get him into trouble at some point. In that turning sand roller section, coop did it smart. And took advantage of the g out between roller 2 and three. Jett finessed the shit out of it like a super saucy smart rider. The pre jump off of the breaking bump was crucial! And Mr Hopper I do believe what Jett was doing in that corner before that awkward hip, is a road racing technique called trail braking... Most moto guys think trail braking is only a front brake technique used to keep the front wheel tracking through a deep rut. In road bike racing it's often used to keep the bike settled when it's leaned over through a long or rough sweeper. The corner in this video has an awkward gap between the exit of the corner and to take off of the hip. I'm thinking that was trailbreaking to keep the shock loaded all the way from the apex of the corner. If you look at Anderson compared to Jett., Jetts bike was a lot more stable through the corner. And it looked to be more of a one emotion sort of thing from the corner through that little hip.. and he might have also had the advantage of the little bit of pop that comes from releasing the back brake suddenly right before he compressed into that hip lip. That's something that's cool as hell to sit here and try to analyze. But to that kid it must flow. So naturally it must feel like a video game to him. Incredible
Jett rides like he’s racing bmx, he stays low and keeps his movements to a minimum. Like when he wheelies over a roller he only lifts the tire up just enough to clear it or when he jumps thru the rhythm lane he lands perfectly at the same angle of the landing an uses the whole landing to accelerate that little bit more than someone that jumps a foot or two more. Also in bmx racing everything the riders do really smooth and flowing just like Jett rides. I wonder if he ever rode bmx in anyway as a kid even if it was just riding with friends
Jett is going incrementally faster over the whole course. Constantly , just enough. In the straight before the left hander he was hard on the throttle. Then finesses the brakes in order to get through then perfectly hammer the throttle just right. He is one with that machine. Riders like cooper and jason, as fast as they are, look like it’s them and the motorcycle, not symbiotic like Jett. It seems small, but it is everything.
JETT doing a STEFAN STUNT, NAW JETT DOING HIS ON THING. That doesn't compare to any rider anywhere, on any type track. Everyday couldn't hold a light to RICKY. JETT IS BETTER THn RICKY OR ANY O E ELSE That ever raced MOTOCROSS./ SUPERCROSS. BEST EVER I SAID IT. AGAIN BEST EVER. WFO FROM ANOTHER PLANET
04:39 I wonder if Anderson is in a lower gear coming into that corner than Jett. That way he can allow the engine braking for speed. Where Jett might be in a higher gear and having to modulate speed with rear brake
It looks like Jett was using the rear brake to help turn the bike L, where Jason was only prepared to brake in straight line. Jett has no weaknesses to exploit. He leaves no stone unturned. Starts ✅, driving early off turns, sets up suspension for whoops ✅, creating energy in the heat of he battle ✅, getting the rear wheel down driving down jump faces✅ reading of a changing surface is sublime ✅ fuels confidence ✅ lines up passes, controlled aggressive attacks on first turn ✅, keeps the bike low over jumps✅, is a mental beast ✅ thrives on the pressure ✅ engages with fans ✅ flows the bike when cornering through his balance✅, when not on the brake he is on the gas, exposes sponsors✅, interacts well with the media✅. And his upper and lower body movements and flexability, along with his awesome posture, thinks and looks ahead ✅, adjusts fast on the back of a average race meeting ✅. He is the only racer I have ever seen that I could not find a weakness in, to be able to help improve. But I will keep looking and learning from him, I hope someone like his brother gets the speed to hang with him, so I get to see more of him on TV screen. The new 🐐 is here to stay, watch out it has only just begun and he is always striving to better himself and race safer ✅✅✅✅
Anderson was actually trying to take the same line as Jett. I feel like Anderson is doing any and everything to match what Jett is doing. He’s also another rider who’s holeshot device is similar to Jetts
as Johnny hits 46,000 sub's, i wanna say hats off to your positive attitude, eloquent speech and attention to the minute details Hopper. please don't listen to certain peoples take that you're becoming a PC sell out. clearly most of us prefer a more centrist approach than feel we are the audience for a guys soap-box rant of negativity. great work Johnny. i still tolerate Cooksey, but he lost my sub last month by adamantly defending Vince Sleazey. no thanks.
grant and roczen won their first 450 sx race, but both had a few starts prior to officially stepping in the 450s (e.g roczen started on a 350 in daytona in 2013 i believe)
I don’t know you but I enjoyed this video commentary. I would say to add any battles in there or exciting moments in the races as well. Good observation and I’m still scratching my head trying to figure out how they get the suspension so low off the start like that but as you said it’s something about it being wired to the ECU. Wow
I call Jett’s style the “deer hop”. If you watch him in the heat race the suspension was off and the bike was acting like it had too much rebound damping which was killing his hop style. Clearly they fixed it for the main.
Have you heard if Webb is all good to go, wasn’t sure if he got injured on the check up bump, I really hope not, technically he is the only guy to straight up beat jet in a race…
Hey hopper man, I was wondering if you could start posting like 10 min clips from the podcast for dudes like myself who never have time to watch them. Nw if not, love the vids dude🙏🙌🙌
It's not only that Jett is doing these little things to gain more speed, it's that he is doing them at 75% his full sprint pace. Really excited to see how Webb and Jett's racecraft shine this SX season.
@@BananerRepublic He was barely sweating after that main and was managing the gap to second place. His average lap time over the entire main event was a full second above the next fastest guy, Chase, who finished 3rd (thanks to Webb crashing) and finished 15+ seconds behind Jett. We haven't seen a fraction of his top speed in SX and it's deceiving because his goal isn't to destroy the competition like we have seen with RC or Stew. We have only seen a small sample of what this kid is capable of and damn is it cool to be a fan of moto right now.
Josh Grant wasn’t a rookie as he raced a 450 main the year before! SMX is a new series and is if is counted as SX Deegan should technically be defending this year then 450 2025! Kenny is still the fastest rider during the opening laps, can gap anyone but not got it over the full distance!
Mx bikes are using the same ecu mapping tricks drag racing guys use. They retard timing for a very short duration which temporarily limits power for the first 10 to 20ft to maximize wheelspin and traction. It allows the riders to be able to hold the throttle wide open every start, every time, for repeatable starts. Id guess it is on a timer and they slightly tweak it for the dirt and length of the start at every track.
The only way to beat Jett is to get in front of him at the gate drop and hope he makes mistake pushing it that little bit extra as we seen with Webb in the heat.
Jetts bike was pulled down the most by far in MX and got most of the holeshots so i wonder if other teams have copied. Your tripple quad theory in some what valid with the lips but a SX table table section is much shorter then a double double section. Double double also has way more risk but its mainly the length and risk difference that makes it a true quad in my opinion. Table Table is a cheater quad and so is a double table.
Johnny. I’m coming around on you a little. I like these videos that breakdown the technical stuff that went on in the race. Thanks. (Also, Sextons wheelie off the little corner table was cool, but not that impressive. Lots of guys were doing that Saturday night. After watching Villo and JS do it way bigger on way bigger jumps, it’s hard to be impressed by that little one. Just saying).
I think eventually things are gonna start getting bumpy meaning I expect there will be more bar banging coming this season. McGrath was like that just so technically perfect like a student of the physics of the bike and the track. It is fun to watch.
Man I don’t want Jett to win this whole series but it’s impossible to deny how ridiculously good he is
He's at top of his game right now. All the others were not even at same level. Can he hold onto this conditioning and fitness ? Think about it, he's at his prime right now. Good for him, but people gonna hate on him like crazy because he's so good compared to the others...
@evopwrmods honestly I'd say he's still getting better. He's 20. Most of these guys peak 22-25yrs old. That's scary.
a new king has arrived
I'd like Jett...or Hunter to win but I'd also like either to win the series by a bee's willy.
this a 24 year old jett is gunna be a monster@@chrisbuehler6868
Jett’s speed through rhythms is the key. Watching in person, he pushed through every face instead of taking the load and springing up.

Better breakdown than any other podcast. Good job dude!
Lots of the bigger Boyz I get inspiration from
Nice video, JH. I am so glad that I am living (56 yo) in an era that I get to watch and root for Jett. I have watched McGrath, Bradshaw, Stanton, JMB, Emig, Bailey, Carmichael, RV, JS7 etc. etc.... so it isn't like I have not seen pros amongst pros. Jett is the best I've seen, and it isn't close, so crafty.
There will be another gifted rider someday that captivates everyone, but today it is Jett Lawrence, and it is an amazing watch every time he throws a leg over a bike.
53yo ex pro , ktm race team mechanic from Oz couldn't agree more
Very cool!
I'm 52 & been riding my whole life, bedroom as a boy had Hannah, Marty, Ricky & all the others posted all over my walls from the magazines, they're the reason I rode Yamaha most of my life. I couldn't agree with you more on your comment, Jett may be from another planet.
@@Johnny_Hopper did you see Jett at MXON help Kenny put holeshot device in on start gate ?
Cant not like young Jetson
@@DS-ur5rm He is a genuine dude. Another reason I like him. Did you see Jett fake kick start his bike during practice last week when Kenny went by... lol. It was funniest thing I've seen in a while. 🤣

thanks for clarifying that. i'd heard of, and seen his "penta" jump but then no mention of it on race day. so that's why.

I squint really hard lol
The Technicality with Josh Grant is he rode a race in Seattle before moving up where he won A1
2008 6th in Seattle
2009 1st in Anaheim 1
Double ONTO a table, triple OVER(as in backside) a table, quad is over 4 lips to backside of next jump

Good eye Johnny Jet is totally amazing
Unbelievable
We are watching a generational talent with Jett. And he is doing it against top class competitors.
Fun fact Barcia had the fastest lap of the main, boy's are ripping this year braaaaaapppppp 🏁🤙
Fun fact indeed
@JohnnyHopper1 Update: I was looking at an unofficial scoring sheet that has been revised🤦♂️ 💯 % my bad🤙
You and James have the best breakdowns by far. I look forward to both every week.
Nah, Thrasher baited Oldenberg into that gate.
Excellent stuff as always!
Appreciate it.
Johnny not sure if or what has changed since I watched last, but this was my favorite post race lines segment so far. 👍

great vid I was hoping you cought that jett hop threw the sand badass
1 time jett sort of scrubbed into the sand section and he flew by so fast i just saw a red blur on my screen LOL! Shit was crazy
Jett is truly the Anomaly of the sport !
11:50 That was Josh Grant's second 450 SX race. His first was Seattle the year before where he finished 6th
Awe 🫢
Jett doing the sand woops like Stefan Everts on a Dutch GP sand track.
JETT doing a STEFAN STUNT, NAW JETT DOING HIS ON THING. That doesn't compare to any rider anywhere, on any type track. Everyday couldn't hold a light to RICKY. JETT IS BETTER THn RICKY OR ANY O E ELSE That ever raced MOTOCROSS./ SUPERCROSS. BEST EVER I SAID IT. AGAIN BEST EVER. WFO FROM ANOTHER PLANET
In the sand it looked like most guys loose their speed but Jett wheelie over breaking bump hoping in and then good throttle keeps momentum up

Jett just makes everything look so easy, it almost makes me think I could do that. Which I obviously cannot.
I saw Hunter and jet wheeling all the way through a pocket in the big rhythm section
How jetts 3,4,5 didn’t get a run was wild. They even took it out it was that nuts!!
I call Jett’s style the “deer hop”. If you watch him in the heat race the suspension was off and the bike was acting like it had too much rebound damping which was killing his hop style. Clearly they fixed it for the main.
It almost looks like jet is looking down the gate slightly looking to is left down towards the dog house what u think hopper
Jett tried a Triple, Quad, Quint on press day landing a bit short, nuts!
Did Sexton's KTM hold the front wheel off of the check up jump because of advanced traction control?
Have you heard if Webb is all good to go, wasn’t sure if he got injured on the check up bump, I really hope not, technically he is the only guy to straight up beat jet in a race…
You know the holeshot device is how they get so low in the front on the start, right?
Hey hopper man, I was wondering if you could start posting like 10 min clips from the podcast for dudes like myself who never have time to watch them. Nw if not, love the vids dude🙏🙌🙌
WFO with great insight!
It's not only that Jett is doing these little things to gain more speed, it's that he is doing them at 75% his full sprint pace. Really excited to see how Webb and Jett's racecraft shine this SX season.
hes definitely not only 75% of his full speed... not a chance my guy. Sure, hes not all out, but its definitely not 75%.. hes probably 90%
@@BananerRepublic He was barely sweating after that main and was managing the gap to second place. His average lap time over the entire main event was a full second above the next fastest guy, Chase, who finished 3rd (thanks to Webb crashing) and finished 15+ seconds behind Jett. We haven't seen a fraction of his top speed in SX and it's deceiving because his goal isn't to destroy the competition like we have seen with RC or Stew. We have only seen a small sample of what this kid is capable of and damn is it cool to be a fan of moto right now.
It's a Quad because a table has two landings, one on top and one over the back.
I noticed Jett on the second double after finish line jump downshift twice in the air. Other guys once. Means Jett was in a taller gear
jmb look like this back in the90 jett gonna end up on road race team
Thanks WFO JOHNNY,, LOVE THE CONTENT!!¡😮BRAPPPPPP
Josh Grant wasn’t a rookie as he raced a 450 main the year before!
SMX is a new series and is if is counted as SX Deegan should technically be defending this year then 450 2025!
Kenny is still the fastest rider during the opening laps, can gap anyone but not got it over the full distance!
Sexton is one of tge strongest riders on the track if you ask me I hope he can make his bike work better
The best part of the show is he didn't say anything about vince!! Isn't that nice and respectful?? Let's talk about positive moto.
Would love to here your opinion on Prado and how he did?
My live show I talked about him
My bad Johnny, I will look it up
Boost of subscribers gotta be from from the MxBikes community 😂 those guys stay hungry for moto content 🙌
Mx bikes are using the same ecu mapping tricks drag racing guys use. They retard timing for a very short duration which temporarily limits power for the first 10 to 20ft to maximize wheelspin and traction. It allows the riders to be able to hold the throttle wide open every start, every time, for repeatable starts. Id guess it is on a timer and they slightly tweak it for the dirt and length of the start at every track.
Grant had a race the year prior to his A1 win
For Jet's ,
it is reguler style
😊😊😊
I've got him for 10 main wins. This season
I believe tomac wheelies off the start
Jett splits hairs even when there’s no hairs to split 😂
I already did Johnny GAWD!……..
The only way to beat Jett is to get in front of him at the gate drop and hope he makes mistake pushing it that little bit extra as we seen with Webb in the heat.
Jetts bike was pulled down the most by far in MX and got most of the holeshots so i wonder if other teams have copied. Your tripple quad theory in some what valid with the lips but a SX table table section is much shorter then a double double section. Double double also has way more risk but its mainly the length and risk difference that makes it a true quad in my opinion. Table Table is a cheater quad and so is a double table.
Aren't they just using holeshot device's to keep the forks down?
How about Coops nose wheely into the turn on moto 1. Jett started doing it after. I think he started in moto 2.
Man Jett is way up on the tank and over the bike.
The only way for tomac to compete with jett is to go on his 2015 form. And i doubt this is going to happen.
Johnny. I’m coming around on you a little. I like these videos that breakdown the technical stuff that went on in the race. Thanks.
(Also, Sextons wheelie off the little corner table was cool, but not that impressive. Lots of guys were doing that Saturday night. After watching Villo and JS do it way bigger on way bigger jumps, it’s hard to be impressed by that little one. Just saying).
ok off topic
would have it been better tactically by JASON to let WEBB through and let him ruffle JETT
what about jets line he hit in open practice lol insane
Ya the quint I should have put that in here
Braaaaaappp
You should be in the booth with James. Dump Ricky and no talk of electric bikes
I think eventually things are gonna start getting bumpy meaning I expect there will be more bar banging coming this season. McGrath was like that just so technically perfect like a student of the physics of the bike and the track. It is fun to watch.
Agreed
Messing with ecu isn’t cheating this is the premier dirt bike sport in the world come on 😂
Comparing to privateer tech is all. I wasn’t clear thx bro for joining the convo
I don't really comment but I stopped watching when you were being negative a while back. love the brakedowns! keep it up new 2024!
Welcome back! Brother. The swan song days are over!!!!
Don't ever use your rear brake for a foot peg !!!
Lolol brah
jetts weight is much less then everyone else is why hes so far up
Jett gonna be beat... just watch.
Jett looks more buff......doesnt have that skinny waist
