Saying there’s nothing special about the way Eli rides is insane. His balance, feel for the bike, his creativity in the stadium and especially outdoors. The dude is different
Exactly, if there isn’t anything special about his riding look at what you are saying about the other riders because he is dominant.
He means there's nothing special as in there's nothing different or unique in his riding style/stance that you can clearly watch.
He rides a 450 like a 125 he is very different
@@tronmcrae
Glad these TH-cam commenters know better than a professional that has literally worked with the guy. And probably has more experience than all of you combined. 🤣
He's just saying there is nothing special that sets him apart or gives him a advantage over everyone else. Other than his work ethic and willingness to do all the shit he needs to do to win.
Can’t wait to see Eli back. I don’t care if he rolls around in last place. As long as he is charging, having fun and mixing it up, it’s a 1000 times better than his last race being the Achilles injury.
YES!
Don't forget Eli has that other gear he can pull out of his hat mid moto that's simply on another level of performance and Eli knows how to use the whole track to his advantage when getting into lappers that simply out smarts everybody and that's Eli's on track Championship winning secrets . . . I like Sexton, Jetson and the whole top ten outdoor pro-moto guys, but Eli with his Championship ways mentioned above is always gonna be regarded as one of the Best of the Best in my old moto eyes. Power on Mr. Tomac
"Jett doesnt pass these guys doing quads."
Jett passes Roczen for the lead in the final round doing the quad.
came here for this😂
Not Tomac yet Sharks gotta eat ✊
😂😂😂😂😂
Was gonna say the same thing didn't Jett just pass roczen bc he was quading that jump every lap and roczen wasn't.
@@chrisp9708 100%...my uncle who helps wrench on my bikes at the track was just saying a few weeks ago there that RH is kinda of a salty old timer who's always saying shit like "Back in my day we raced moto with no handlebars or wheels on our bikes." type of thing. I respect his skills but he does come across that way a bit...at least the few times I've heard him talk about mx or sx.
He trains alone in the high altitude his dad is a world champion. Their program is obviously something special.
The Tomac’s have a fitness legacy. I was a dirt biker and then also took up mountain biking avidly in 1985 and was reading about John Tomac, and how John Tomac rode motocross bikes to help with mountain biking. Then the son used mountain biking to get fit for dirt bike racing. The 2 sports really cross over, and it’s cool to see them have champions in each sport.
Eli has the belief that he can win that many others don’t have, very old school mx mentality to charge through a pack , great rider 👌
“He doesn’t ride bicycles…”😂😂😂 a TOMAC doesn’t ride bicycles 😂😂😂
I got a kick out of that too. Are we looking at the same guy, Ryno?
Like the Eli documentary idea!!
He is a legend ! It needs to be said Eli competed through the big wallet ktm stacking the field for years , buying the talent buying the championships it is a fact . Legend ! Kenny left that buy the championship team for a better bike then maimed himself trying to pass all those ktmhuska bikes in Supercross . Eli is a all time !
Not trying to sound like I was at the level of any of the top pros but when I would come back from injury I was always at a new level. I think it makes you appreciate it more. We will have to see but my gut is telling me Eli will be very tough to beat in 2024.
Eli and Chase will be battling for 2nd and 3rd.
@@anthonyegnor6347 definitely a good possibility.
@@anthonyegnor6347Tell Jett to not have his gf run smack for him...he's a big boy now.
My gut is telling me he is not going to be willing to hang it out there to beat Jett and Chase. Which is what it will take to beat Jett.
@@thebackcountrybiker9468
I'm sure he thinks he can but thinking and doing are not the same thing. I hope we see a lot of different winners but I think we are seeing the next goat in Jett.
The sport wouldn't be the same without Ryan Hughes. I like how he dgaf what people think and has a different perspective than most.

We miss Tomac 🏍️👊🏻👍🏻🇺🇸😎
Tomac went 1-1 for his first pro moto in 250 class why has everyone seem to forget that
3-1* but shouldve went 1-1, crashed while leading with a few minutes to go
And I was there
The dude won like 8 races in 15 years but he’s got all the answers on everyone and everything in moto
Expertise lies elsewhere. Love Ryno. Great character.
How many games did Bill Belichick win while playing in the league? He can still coach a little bit, no?
Being the best in the sport does not mean you can train or analyse or coach like the best. Look at any professional sport and you will find that the best coaches were not the best players/competitors. Name an all time great coach in any sport that was also an all time great as a competitor . That list is very small, if not non-existent.
You are drawing a false equivalency in that only the best riders can either coach or analyse the best.
Bro, do you know anything about good coaches? Not a single one of them in any sport were the best at their trade. Being a good coach is much more complicated than being the best at what you do.
Also, idk how educated about the sport you think you are, but even winning one single pro race (example: Brian deegan), is an accomplishment of a lifetime. Brian will tell you how extremely hard it is to win a pro race. And he’s incredible at everything he does. I won every single local race I ever raced. Then I tried the nationals. Still did very well in A class but didn’t take long for me to realize the top guys were in an entirely different league. Think about that buddy.
Thanks for the videos. I really enjoy the content. Big motocross fan here from Texas.
Love the videos honestly keep ‘em coming
This is my opinion I’ve been riding for 42 years I rode it all. Still riding and enjoy it all,, Eli eyes in his head is very resilient toward any type of high vibration and impact. He has the physical condition that allows him to react really really good under stress and high speed vibrations. As
everybody get older, elbows, shoulders, knees everything can have a negative affect on you. he’s just a great rider with the born intensity!,He has what takes. he’s proving it. Look forward to seeing him do incredible at 24.
I can't wait until A1 to see Eli and Jettison and the rest of the best riders in the USA and from across the pond, Sexton on a new bike, it's going to be fun!
Man, that will be great!
Add C. Webb back on blue, Roczen second year with dialed in RMz and Larry Brooks behind him, Hunter on the big bikes, Mookey back on SX... hoope Ferrandis will get a good bike/team to mix it up, 2024 SX will be fantastic and I hope/wish, all will be without bad hurts this season!
@@bertbroeder1832 Yes I agree with you buddy!
Thank you gypsy we needed this !!!!!!!! RIDE OR DIE BABY
I hope he wins Daytona again. If so, it will be the 4th time I’ve been there. Daytona supercross is an exceptional venue.
Like fine wine round two on the gypsy seat has delivered us what we are ready to hear!!!!!
Literally just finished this episode
That was really great! I really like when you put the name and title , upfront ... because sometime I don't know who these guys are, thanks
I don't care how good people think jet is Eli is a fuckin beast and he's going to put the smack down I think he's the best rider I've been a fan from the start he has so much heart watching him ride is like watching 👀 a rocky movie eye of the fuckin tiger 🐅 sorry jet you don't have that kind of heart
Gonna be a badass year to be a race fan I’m scheduled to go see a few supercross races can’t wait
Jett might come out strong early in the season but mid-season Tomac is a threat! He thrives off pressure and for Jett it’s gonna be a long rookie SX Season.
Go Get em Shark ✊🦈
It's great for supercross that Tomac is coming back for at least one more. It gives Jet the opportunity to take the throne from a legend. Don't get me wrong his outdoor season was great but just didn't have that battle feel. I don't think Tomac gets enough credit for holding off Sexton like he did.
Yeah Jett didn’t have to hold chase a bay. He just picked up and gapped him by 10 seconds.
I think jett sees it as a privilege to race Tomac win or lose and could possibly learn from tomac too.
Love it when Ryno is on the show.
The line at the star tent for the races I went too were insane…. At Denver the line was half way across the entire pit area.
Always gets to Jett, come on…we are here just for Eli m8 😂 give it a rest crim
No kidding, I bet he creams himself every night thinking about Jett.
It's all good brother!
Eli is like the late Joey Dunlop smooth and only at 100% when he has to and quiet and only talks when he has something to say.
Tomac is special. To say he’s not is silly. Fitness is subjective. Riders train based on the tracks and equipment from their era. Champions from any era are all special
What an interesting perspective
Eli is the motocross "Rocky"
“Jettsonnnnnn, JETTTSOONNN”
@@eric6rock exciting Eli vs. Jet show down. Like a Deegan vs TP during FMX. This would also look good on a straight rhythm as well. I bet media is gonna push this hard.
If Eli beats Jett first race together or finishes ahead of him, Eli can beat Jett in a championship. Eli’s been there and done that with riders faster than Jett. If you can battle with Herlings, you can battle with anybody
@@chrisrocha2150 this is another scenario that will make the 450 SX very interesting this coming season
Love Ryno! Hate on him all you want, he’s had an incredible career that most any rider would kill to have. He’s trained many of the greats, and is still in demand by top talent for his wisdom and insight. He also gives no fucks about conventional “wisdom “ and blazes his own trail by applying his life experience, both on and off the bike. Like nearly everyone else, he’s not always right, and can sometimes be full of himself, but the moto world is much better with him in it. Thanks Ryno! Peace!
And Eli don't care about he is average he is a kid in front tomac haha
love this. the only thing I question is "the feather in the hat." I think people forget about how many huge crashes Eli did have, and came back from. All the Eli silly seasons where he was the fastest one week then the next week? Then when you look back to the 250's, there was one race where either he or Kenny didn't make the main and then in the main whoever was in it ended up getting back of the pack finish... I think Eli is actually someone that has had bad luck racing and it's everything off the track that has helped him to bounce back. where as the stuff Kenny faced, he probably didn't have the same level of family support around him. great video
I got 2 word... BEAST MODE!!! he got that nick name for a reason his program is on another planet!!! His technique is flawless!!! I think that ET3 is that guy!!!
Watch his 250 highlights and add his 450 comebacks and tell me he doesn’t have anything “special”. This guy blows me away. Marv didn’t win cuz “he wore a neck brace” but RV is one of the best ever and he never took it off.
love Ryno and his content dudes a class act
A class act? Seriously? 🤣
The WILL to WIN no 1 could ever teach. The only thing different that separates the highest top levels.
I once said to a friend that Michael Chang won despite not being as talented - winning through tenacity. My friend simply said is that not in itself talent... not everyone can do that.
Great clip with Rhino🤙 refreshing to not hear jiu-jitsu broadcasting nonstop from the amateur league.
Ryno is high on shrooms or DMT.
Eli is a very talented rider #Beast Mode 💨💨💨💨🇺🇸👊💯
Faster then Ryno ever was or would be
He never said it was over after 2024.
I bet its 2 years
Eli's gonna beat Jett and Chase,and he's gonna win the SX title,count on it!
Only if Jett and Chase have issues. I don't see anyone beating Jett, other than Jett.
Nope Jett will take it all again sx and mx!! Mark my words. Ive said this since 19 and been Jettson biggest fan,since Europe, he has proven me right every season,still mark my words r true.i luv eli,but nope Jett is going to b wayyyyyyyyyy to strong and he just started..no chance unless he wrecks.
@@ronmower3694Or some dumb ass 2 gate start like at Charlette. The kid is only gonna master the game even more with every race. I agree with you.
Agree. 100%, he races the track, the Competetion, and the most important, the fn POINTS. People have small memories. ELI could of won almost every round last year. BUT he went wide to NOT land on Webbs head and he ate hay bails, tuff blocks, so after that, I think he had a ( Hidden injury , most likely a concussion) so he backed it down ALOT , BUT HE was smart enough to Duke it out for the POINTS. which he would of won EASILY. , but people can't remember he is Beast mode. Wjat if he goes 100% from the gate drop, ???? He will win again , like he did in 2015 to 2019 , he will win by 40 seconds,. And he is comming to race again this year, To DOMINATE. not play with his friends. He will win 6 to 10 races. , and Jett will get hurt As will Sexton, Eli will win the championship by a landslide. Ill bet $10,000 On it now., if the book Bets were out. , hes special, and he will school Jetson , people will see why he is THE or 1 of the best of all time , 2nd in wins all time , amd he will be going after MC. not after a rookie Jett. That is a person he isn't even a little worried about. Because he knows, Jett will ride over his head, and GET HURT. , Mark it on the calendar. Jett don't make it past round 6 !!! SS amd save this comment , 💯🇺🇲🤘🤘🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
@@Tow_Sr. will keep in touch brother as there is a 20% part of me agreeing with U on that.. But i will bet u and owe wat i owe if not full field!! Friendly wagR
That hierarchy doesn't lend itself any advantages for the leader.
No need to get upset people , it's just somebody's opinion and as far off the mark of an opinion I've ever heard in my lifetime I might add.
So what Rynos issue with Deegan? And the way he said there is nothing special about Eli makes me think he has an issue with Star.
Jealousy
He put it perfectly
I agree we went to redbud and i couldn't believe how crazy it was at the star trailer rock star shit!!!!!!
Tomac’s secret. Go faster than everyone else.
Totally agree with Ryno on the “profound” statement Jett has made with having Sexton on his ass the whole series and never crumbled under the pressure. Effing amazing kid.
Back in my day! Momentum is nothing new..
Tomac has 107 wins. Hughes has 7 wins. One person talks A LOT. The other just wins.
💯
So many people obviously didn’t watch the whole video
Eli just like Jett? Ride with a calm mind! No anxiety/stress (mostly)! Stress/anxiety shrink your awareness and slow you down a lot! And causes crashes!
Thank you for saying that the new riders are a little frail horse riders. If you’re not strong enough or don’t weigh enough to overpower the G forces of a 450 you’re going to get thrashed
Overtime becomes the follow the leader hierarchy seen in practices
What did Hughes say about that Cooksey Media guy? LOL! Just saw the Loretta Lynn's video. Ryan just got too drunk.
Jase you have to do that Tomac film!! first you have to invent the project, but that is you bro !!
Let's fucking goooo eli!!!
words of the wise !!
I love this shit
Hughes is a MX GENIUS!
“There’s nothing special” is what he said about Tomac, real genius 🤦🏻♂️ far from it
Hughes is an actual clown. The loudest, most controversial people get the views. And he gets the most views. That's why people like you think he's a genius.
In personal means everybody take their own view as alsways.
In MX he ist one of the best, especially as a trainer, I totally agree jpsneeringer! You can see his influence Austin Forkner rode the last races.
If you guys don't see it also, go home and practice and don't waste our time, thank you!
I would really take a lesson from Ryno and watches his videos, it works!
@@bertbroeder1832 When's the last season Austin Forkner completed?
@@RatchetGamingNation I don't know and don't care.
What you want to say asking this?
Jett was amazing to win every race in 450 rookie year at such a young age after his titles in 250s. Hunter will be up there fighting if not injured. Avagud1
Ryan Hugh's is the best
The sport is elevating, the thing is the riders need to with it. I always wondered why riders don't train in Florida in the humidity and sleep in a altitude tent. Can recover post workout/moto easily at the sea level and overnight you gain the extra capacity being in the lower oxygen environment. Its how they do flash expeditions up Everest in 2 weeks that usually take 2 months. Or do they? 🤐
A lot of riders are in Florida. Aldon's whole setup is in Florida.
@@tronmcrae yes for the humidity and good consistent riding weather. No secret why in Florida for those reasons, but training or being acclimated to a high altitude can build up red blood cells so athletes get less fatigued. Where the Hypoxic tents come into play. Also why dole believe Eli is so fit is he is a mile higher up than people in Florida. Also why some Marathon runners go to places like Peru to train then go to the event.
@@brettd.watson1821so is anderson though.
Bold to say Eli doesn't do *anything* special. Webb, Ferrandis, Ciancarulo, and even the Yamaha engineers have mentioned how Eli, especially with the throttle, is unique. The Yamaha engineer said he hadn't seen anything like it during testing when Eli went to Star Racing, "full throttle, whole lap".
When he hits beast mode he sends it more than any other rider I've seen. Hangtown 2015 was also reministent of Jett, the way he floats around a track. Although Eli might not be able to do that in the same way though due to his shoulders. JS7 mentioned he doesnt think Roczen can get as vertical as Jett on the bike because of his wrist injuries as well, so could be similar. 🤷♂️ Anyhow, gonna be a season to remember.
Jett doesn’t put a lot of force through his arms, it’s mostly legs.
@@gildo101rossi Sure, all of the new riders are using their legs a lot, but I think they rely on their arms more than you would think, as that's also AC's problem. His upper body lacking strength because of his arm. He said as much on another episode when asked what he could take from Jett's technique to improve his own riding. But you're right and in Roczen's case, I just checked the video again and JS7 was saying Kenny might not be able to get into that same upright body position that is required to ride like Jett, because of his wrists and potential lack of flexibility in that area. Edited OG comment to fix 😁
@@parkman8595 Jett literally said he hardly grips the bars, doesn’t suffer from arm pump.
Probably because he has no muscle on his arms.
Agree fella's. Mx is dangerous and unforgiving which stops so many from getting to the front. I think these blokes need to play or team contact sports to build up bodies would be better at getting them built and able to handle a impact. AFL, Rugby, etc. You train so hard in these sports. Avagud1
LMAO Eldin Making Frail waffles HAHAHAH
I'll keep saying it. Only thing gonna slow down Jetts winning is the ground. Otherwise everyone else will be fighting for second. The kid is dialed. He is not even competing. He is just loving riding his dirtbike.
Ryan , tell Stapleton I said hi!
Rynos hard to listen to these days yeah he’s on top of his game but… I work with with a similar guy who is very very good at his job but you guessed it he did everything you did and more and did it first. He landed on the moon too, he was the worlds strongest man and well as the world best boxer……
OMG there’s not one bad comment but please let’s appreciate the fact that every corner of the globe has an opinion on this. For that let us all take a second to thank our higher power for this sport
Sexton and Tomac had a all out war in out doors and jett only had pressure for a few rounds Sexton was on Tomac for the whole race for most of them a lot of people were missing in jetts rookie season
True, but Chase missed what two rounds out of 11 with Mono? That's not that many. Chase did put some charges in at the end.
Not the same Chase brother. Just watch last year's Outdoors
@brettd.watson1821 He missed 3 rounds. And this year's Chase was clear as day lacking in motocross until the last few rounds. I think he has been focused so much on Supercross. 2022 Chase outdoors was probably his peak.
@@daltonturner3113agree. Chase wasn't the same. He had flashes but if he'd been the same as 22 he'd be all over Jett
@@marmaleg5309 At the very least, 22 Chase would have never let himself fall victim to someone's perfect season smh
Hey dum dum , Eli’s probably the fittest guy to do it , enough said
Lol frail little wafers. Gotta remember that one. But so true. He has the stamina from being in the high altitude
If it was just altitude everyone would be doing it. Having John and Kathy Tomac's genetics has a lot more to do with it.
I think Eli being from Colorado has a lot to do with his fitness also. Yeah he cranks up the intensity training but also keep in mind he is probably doing this at an elevation of 5-8,000’ which is much harder to breathe in. So if he can be that intense at that elevation it is nothing for him to do it at or near sea level! Just my experience from going out there skiing and getting winded just walking to the lodge from the truck.
Bingo!!!!!
He has bigger balls than everyone else
Eli Tomac Championships: 6
Ryan Hughes championships: 0
Because he raced Stew in his prime
@louisfarone actually he was before Stew.. He had McGrath, Emig, and Carmichael eating him up. And that's not counting the other 125cc guys that beat him as well.
Dude could train but didn't have the speed and skills like the Champions.
And Eli raced Stew, Villo and Dungey in their prime and has more wins than Stew, Villopoto or Dungey.@@louisfarone
I can’t put my finger on it, but Ryan seems more business confident now, whereas he just used to seem just plain ole cocky and braggadocios.
I’d say he’s much more likable and convincing with this demeanor. I actually got excited hearing him say he could qualify for a National at 50. Kind of wish she would.
She won't.
When beast mode kicks in? Telling me that is not special!
To be fair, Hughes has done a lot of drugs...
He does what he is supposed to do BUT he has plenty special. He finds flows that no one else will ever see. Tell me who else drops their lap time by 4-6 seconds in the last 15 minutes of every Moto? Track gets rougher and he only gets faster while other riders lap times are slower. Jett is obviously in his domain but two different kinds of riding styles. We have seen both work.
"At fifty, I know I'd qualify for a national" I just watched Mike Brown in straight rhythm, 49 and still ripping hard. I Have no doubt Ryno could do it.
Comparing Mike Brown and Hughes is like comparing a well cared for vintage Corvette to a clapped out 300k mile Geo Metro. Brownie is the real deal.
Eli's not cycling? 😂
😂 My man Colorado IS fucking so cal now. Eli lives in Cortez. Which is a whole different world than 75% of Colorado. And he has his own private bad ass track. And Family ranch and land.
He’s definitely living the good life. I’m sure he doesn’t have a care in the world other than where he’s going to ride his bike lol. Racing dirtbikes is 90% mental and 10% physical. Some talent goes along way too but it’s a mental game. And Eli has a good head on his shoulders
Salute good sir we’ll said def a boy and a bike in love
Nah, his parents live in Cortez. He lives with his wife and kids in Mancos.
kinda funny that he said jetts not passing people by doing quads when thats how he got kenny
This was filmed before LA
@@GYPSYTALES oh for sure. kind of ironic then lol
jett didnt just quad to pass Roczen, he accelerated through the quad to pass Rocsen, Look how he accels hitting the quad while pushing the bike down so it doesnt leap to far before hitting the ground, for that next scrub of jump face.
if he just simply did the quad, I doubt he'd have made the pass, or they have been tied entering the corner.
And Deegan, wtf!!!, hahahaha
He sounds like he wants to be an Eli hater so bad but just can’t 😂
125s were slower and lighter of course you can ride them at 100% for an entire moto. I think the guys are fitter now then the 2 stroke era, bikes are faster now so you have to be fitter to ride them as hard as these guys do.
Obviously, you have never raced a national on a 125.
Brut power vs lite speed!???????
Ryno… pay Lapigala
What’s with ryno’s eye ? 👁️
What about the rest of him? 🤣
i like the film idea but eli’s main problem has always been getting in his own head, idk if a film crew would be the greatest idea
"A thought will ride like barcia and a feel will ride like jett" thats actually a good anology
It is in the efficiency, it’s crazy watching guys who are literally over doing it and completely out of the flow. The old way of riding(hanging it out) is a waste of energy. Jett has taken over and smoked everyone by riding smarter. Sadly most of the top riders have insane talent but lack the mental side of the game…. Also the road bike makes people explode when they crash… true that.
