As a Suspension Mechanic you all would be amazed at how much of Jett’s success, comes from his knowledge of bike setup, and suspension feel. Notice any time he has a “bad” first moto, he ALWAYS dominates the second, in terms of bike setup and how he looks. He never has a sketchy, second moto, when the track is the worst. He knows how to set the bike up, he knows to keep the bike up in the stroke, not saggy in the rear like Chase, and out a lot of rebound. A lot if Chases downfalls were due to not having a properly setup bike, and fighting it the entire moto. Once he has one little lapse of judgement, it’s over. Jett’s riding a Cadillac out there, he’s not struggling as much, pair this with good technique, and THATS why he’s dominating.
That's a great point! Recently, I finally experienced the feeling of having my bike properly set up. Being 6'4" 230 lbs, I'm far from the ideal stock bike set up. In addition to suspension, I also found the using bar risers that shift up and forward really helps my body position while standing. Honestly, I can control the bike so much better in every situation and it's so much easier to save those near misses. I'd be interested in learning how to master suspension and have a little shop. Any tips?
Jetts suspension is, to me, at another level. Almost like he has triple rate springs. His bike is so settled, all the time. A1 with the single to flat into left hand turn… he would land flat and his bike never rebounded off the ground. It landed and settled immediately allowing him to stay on the gas of the small hump into the turn. Watching Anderson and Webb you saw them landing flat and the bikes would pogo off the ground and theyd be unsettled, hitting the small hump then trying to turn in. Jetts bike is planted ALL the time. Like his tires have ground tracking technology.
Wow, super interesting dissection & explanation!...back when I was racing (1970's) you just tried to twist the throttle and hang on...everything is so different now, the bikes, the training/nutrition the riding...so scientific now. So interesting for an old worn out scrambler like me to watch. Thanks for the post man.
It's obvious that Chase has had a mental issue regarding finishing a race. Sexton's crashes are all basically the same; about 2/3+ of the way through a race, he starts coming into corners a little too early, then gets over the front, and then loses the front. That's not a bike problem. It's all in its head.
It also seems like his bike is set up way stiffer and maybe I'm crazy and not sure how the forks work on new bikes but I know when I was racing cross country the forks would build pressure and the front would deflect and act differently past the halfway point. I know it's different racing an a was A class local champ not a pro national but could it be possible the forks are building enough pressure and the bike is already so stiff compared to Jets
@@neilorange4112 Don't forget he's riding the same bike that Jett is riding. If it wasn't working, he had a couple of years to fix it. It's not going to get better on a KTM, I'm afraid.
@@rg807although they’re similar they’re pretty far from the same. Different shock, different frame bracing. Different weight riders. Preference at their level is huge. Putting Jett on sextons bike isnt going to yield the same results as jett on his own bike
@@rg807 same bike completely different setup the guys from pulp mx I think rode both bikes after the next to last race of the season and did a video and they both said Chase's bike was extremely stiff and jets felt like any average rider would be comfortable it was very forgiving
It’s kinda funny how times have changed. Growing up we were always taught to be on the gas or on the brakes and no coasting. Then Jett comes along and coast through turns with minimal braking and it’s actually faster.
Hey for sure man...I am an old scrambler from the 70's with so many injuries I struggle to even walk! Back then, brake as hard and late as you could out of control into a corner, then try to square off the corner and explode out, so inefficient🤔Imagine how they will be riding in 10 years?
I think a lot of that was because the suspension wasn't good enough to carry speed all the way through rough corners and the way two strokes make power lends themselves to exploding out of corners.
Tight or not, separation or not, you need to be able to feel what is under the front wheel in the breaking phase. Once you feel what's under neath you, your body naturally goes to a neutral state. Best training for this is to go and ride a sand track in the night or just black out your goggles. A lot of sports share the same comparison, e.g., snowboarding in a white out.
In regards to Ryan, knowledge and the ability to do it are two separate things. Some people have both, some more knowledge than ability. Otherwise the guys winning championships wouldn’t need to take advice or learn from anyone that hasn’t won a championship which is ridiculous.
Their set ups are a little different from eachother. I'm sure neither of them are running stock peg height. They both are kinda tall. The biggest difference between the 2 is shock preference.
To me and what I can see, the best riders can ride the 450 treating it like a bmx bike underneath them, letting it do whatever it has to do because it is made to want to stay upright. Examples are Tomac, Anderson and Plessinger . Their riding is style free, calm and confident. Letting that bike move around while maintaining control, not much else mattering but contact time between that rear tire and dirt. More vertically challenged people like Webb don't really have that convenience on a 450 and are forced to ride much more "properly" tends to result in a stiff over-thinking it ride. I strongly feel if Chase loosens up just a little bit, seeing where to just hang it out to be fast for the sake of being fast and where to tighten up and get it right (example: tomac on the majority of the track vs the precise rocket he is in the whoops) he'll gain that extra little bit to be a threat to honda next year. I'm hoping he'll have a banger of a time with Plessinger as a teammate and some of that yeehaw hang-it-out personality will rub off on him just a little bit and next year we see a happier, free and faster Sexton.
Yeah it’s interesting to listen to a guy who really understands the concept of riding a dirt bike. He explains individual riding styles exceptionally well.
Chase lost bcuz he don’t use the clutch like jet uses it , jet revs the bike an pop the clutch for breaking bumps an sometimes jumps to keep momentum up , I don’t really see people speaking on that bcuz it’s super hard to notice but I study jet real hard cuz his technique is amazing an him popping that clutch to keep up his momentum is jus amazing, once Chase gets his clutch game up it’s on for jet but that’s if he even study jet instead of having pride
People have been pre jumping braking bumps for a while. Jett just does it really well. I’m not sure why everyone hasn’t started doing that though. That’s definitely we’re Jett is making more time on everyone. And it’s a lot less energy used.
@@breeezy57 yea but it’s levels to everything , he does it literally ALL around the track, that’s the thing with jet he don’t jus got speed n technique , he got track iq an while everyone else jus ride thru all the ruff parts , jet hops over everything especially at a track like southwic, where he dropped 3rd pl by like 30+ sec
I believe Hughes knows a ton about technique and was a very good rider. But he spends a ton of time dissecting and tearing apart people’s riding styles and mistakes they make. How many titles did he win?
This comparison of Jett and Chase has gotten old. Jett is simply "better" than Chase. Chase is technically better than everybody else. If Jett was not here, would we be comparing Chase to Eli? Roczen? In 2-3 years Deegan will be racing Jett. Deegan already matches Jett's speed. But, completely different technique. Point is, since the beginning of this sport, there have been several different fast "techniques". DeCoster had style and Mikkola had strength. Both were fast. On any given day, one would beat the other. At most, Jett weighs 165 with gear. He's only 5'10. He looks bigger because guys like Justin Cooper are 5'6. I laughed when Hughes bragged about texting Chase. As if Chase is going to give 2 cents about what he has to say. We've already heard Chase's response to multi champion, ultra talented JS7. Can only imagine what Chase could say in response to a never champion that made a career out of crashing.
Jett takes the bike and makes it do what he wants. Chase is trying to find more out of the bike, and he crashes because of it. Like it really isn’t any deeper than that, watch Jett ride and it looks like he isn’t even charging. It looks like he’s cruising around in a practice session, and then you watch Chase and he is charging hard and trying to find more speed. Sexton is a world class rider, but he doesn’t ride the bike the same way Jett does and it’s clear
I don't know why we hang on what this guy says .when he raced he wasn't that good .he never won championship.why would you listen to him on tech or style.i mean really we got to get away from the old guard and get with the new.
This man's forgotten more about motocross than you and most people will ever know. Do you think tiger woods golf coach can play better than him? No it doesn't work like that ryno is the real deal when it comes to mx knowledge
Right like that’s cool but popping the clutch thru breaking bumps and certain jumps help keep up the needed momentum an jet does that very well an i don’t think anyone else does this but jet
“Those who can, Do. Those who can’t, teach” Ryno is a bit of a hybrid because he could do, and did. But learned where he shorted his own career and is helping eliminate future riders from the same fate. Also, Hughes would smoke just about anybody in this comment section even today 😂 a couple years ago when he was fairly active on the bike he came out to washougal and showed how everything he talks about helps. It’s silly to see the tone some of these couch potatoes spew their bogus in. Another thing that some of you should understand. He doesn’t care about you and your feelings towards him 😂😂 like not even a little bit.

Ryan is amazing. The goat of technique
Someone really needs to overlay some videos of chase and jetts cornering style. Jett is so smooth, and smooth is fast.
I love the comment section. Always full of experts
Everyone got beat by Jett including chase , he's next level
Didn't Chase win because Eli broke his foot ?
I want to see Ryno qualify for a national now! That be bad ass
Love that shirt Ryan. 🇺🇸

Jett did mention dance training in his past...finesse
#23 Is best when he's Chasing. He's a Great Talent
He was chasing Jett all mx season and never caught him.Get a clue
sexton has to drive over his head outdoors , sx is a timing rythim style of race, love the tree analogy
He still fucks up in SX i fact I’d say he makes more mistakes in SX.
@@zacharyradford5552 yea this past year , get the lead and chill like jett just riding over his head, not using his head
With old bikes have stretch😅ed. Frames.its interesting because I never heard of it?
Jett doesn't hold the grips super tight like he said which allows the bike to rock back and forth more freely also.
In regards to Ryan, knowledge and the ability to do it are two separate things. Some people have both, some more knowledge than ability. Otherwise the guys winning championships wouldn’t need to take advice or learn from anyone that hasn’t won a championship which is ridiculous.
Are the bikes set up differently? Curious if Jett runs stock pegs or are they offset back and down? Great content!
Their set ups are a little different from eachother. I'm sure neither of them are running stock peg height. They both are kinda tall. The biggest difference between the 2 is shock preference.
I think Ryno needs a bit more confidence 😉
Chase is so fast ... until he falls.... so close, so stinking close, yet so far. Thanks
He’s allergic to not crashing when leading a race. Always has to take a dirt sample.
Jett got his form from sitting on Santa’s lap all them years as a little Aussie baby. Now the gift is here. Open it, go ahead YALL…open it
That was gay
Are u drunk

Chase is talented as hell but he’s got something funky, can’t quite put my finger on it. I think it’s an Illinois thing
He's just over thinking instead of just trying to let your sub consence take over and ride freely and react

Jett’s riding style comes from training on hard tail Mountain bikes here in SoCal with his brother and trainer 😊
No you pleb it comes from Europe working with Stefan Everts at a young age when him & Hunter were signed to Suzuki when Stefan was Team Manager
