this aged incredibly well haha
Here we are 3 years later and DB was absolutely spot on! The thing he said about Jett, that he just feels the ground different and looks like hes almost going slow is 100 percent accurate! As we see Jettson had a perfect outdoor season.
Watiching this video again after 2023 Pala opener, I’d say Daniel even came up short!
You remember being 17 “barely…I was fucking drunk” 😂 how good
He was right!!
Well it’s safe to say Daniel Blair can see into the future
Nofuckingbody on the internet brings out the heart and soul of those being interviewed, like we see here on Gypsy Tales.
Watching this before 2023 outdoors. So far Dan Blair- you're on a winner.
Yup!
Ryan Hughes said that about Ricky Carmichael i think it was, the thing about him feeling the ground and everything that was going on
This is ageing very well 👌🏼
I'm hoping deagan comes to rise in the ranks.........
I know everyone thinks Jett will be legendary and you might be right. However, I heard that about Sexton and AC too.
"What would Travis do?" - Moto Academy
Funny watching this in Jan. 2025. Blair knows his Chit about riders and their future talent.
Jett will set records that won’t be broken for a long long time, guaranteed
The Jett will do more for the sport than anyone since JS7
I highly doubt that, meet me back here in 5 or 6 years.
@@jhamelin119 see you then 👍🏻
@@jhamelin119 what exactly did js7 do for the sport?
@@Jim_jong_un Brought in a level of skill and aggression that has been unmatched to this day
Provided the most exciting races of all time over any rider
Elevated the speed at which racers ride at above any rider to this day
Took scrubbing and whipping to a new level, even back in the early 2000's he was throwing it harder than anyone
24-0 mx champion, undefeated season
The list goes on,
...... he also put the fear of god into everyman who lined up next to him, because they new when push came to shove, they were not prepared to take the risks he was going to in order to win.
@@jhamelin119 so he was a badass, absolutely. But that’s not what this dude is saying. I believe He’s saying Jett will do more for the sport as an ambassador. As a face of the sport to bring in new fans, sponsors and attention. As for the level of skill and aggression, that was 100% RC4. Exciting races of all time? Possibly, but that’s also opinion. Although it was exciting trying to predict when, not if, he would crash.
6:40 gypsy prediction on point .
I'm going to start on 125 then go to 250 if I feel comfortable....I'll go 450
He was right about sx 🤷♂️ 😂
I hope Jett stays on a 250cc for a few more years. He needs to learn to be more consistent and mature a bit. Win a championship or two. The 450cc class will be there waiting for him. No need to rush it.
The thing is if he wins next year he’ll only compete one more year.
you could throw Jett on a 450 tomorrow and he’d be fine. A rough year or so but he’d be fine
@@stevestiffler9120 100% there’s vet riders with half the skill that are fine so yeah he’d be fine.
@@stevestiffler9120 The object of being a professional isn't to be fine. It is to put yourself in the best position to maximize your earning potential. He is going to make more as a 250cc champion than being fine in the 450 class, not to mention the fact that once you are in the 450 class your career is probably going to be over in under 5 years. ( Yes, there are exceptions)
@@jonjackson6245 nailed it 👏 The key is timing his peak and staying healthy.
Adding weight and power will always add more risk in terms of potential for catastrophic injury. So, sure..with his insane talent, he could do it. But it'd still be a bad choice because he's still just a kid with a lot to learn and physiological maturity levels that are working against his cognitive decision making process.
That JS7 style go for it mentality that is a weapon for Jett in the 250s right now would potentially put him in some sticky situations on a 450 with a much worse consequence ratio.
Ever since I watch Jet ride a couple of years ago I've been telling anybody who cares it's Jets world everybody else is just riding in it. Also we don't need to speculate how he's going to do he won the MX of Nations 450 Moto against the world's best.
Agreed. Only thing stopping Lawrence is fame in America.
Jase saying barely I was fucking drunk is hilarious
We really sent it senior year 😂
@@GYPSYTALES Once I realized I sucked at racing and wasn’t going anywhere. my camp site at the races became the party spot
110%
This aged well af
Jett watching this on TH-cam right now 👀
I 1800% agree
So true.
He is different level
Yo Dan. What numbers you thinking will come up in powerball this week?
did you see that rough year jett is having?
I remember watching Trey Canard on a 65 just wearing out all the dudes on the 125's. Those guys was pissd he was showing them all up. But they had no choice but to laugh it off. Lol. Trey's corner speeds and speed thru the whoops was unbelievable for a kid that small. It sucks he got injured so bad before he could really take off and show out.
He was a great rider with great speed. Canard had all the skill but wayyyyyy more balls than brains most of the time.
Villopoto was that kid at our local track. It was amazing how many riders would use the move where you start looking down at your bike as if something is wrong😉, then pull off the trackas as this kid go's screaming past. Every one knew he would go pro.
I get passed by kids and grandmas. You get used to it.
I remember him, cue, and Marley battling at cooperland... Johnny Marley was a hell of a mini rider, just personal stuff derailed his pro career but when you see a rare sighting, still to this day he's a bad dude on a bike. Some guys just have that crazy natural ability/ceiling that they don't even have to really work at it, its just seat time until they get to the pros and its like it never goes away, besides maybe some cardio but that insane bike skill remains.
I have been a Jett fan since before he got to the states, and though I hate to say it, but I'll probably end up cheering for whoever is nipping at his heels. Its nothing personal. It's honestly because of how wildly popular he has become. When they are expected to win and everyone cheers them on its just not as fun to me when they do win. Although, I respect and I'm happy for whoever wins, no matter what,
PS - Because of the popularity of McGrath and the hype and popularity of Stewart, it was easy to be a Carmichael fan. Even though he was/is the best, I felt like most people wanted to see him lose because he was expected to win.
Couldn’t say it better. They are my boys too!!! Big things to come from the Lawrence boys🤙
Almost spot on Daniel.450 outdoors with no blemishes.
This was a great take, besides the expected struggle when he moved to the 450. He looks even better now and is putting on a clinic on all the established pros he lines up with. Jett is on a completely different level then we've ever seen in this sport.
Right. He might still struggle in supercross, accidents happen fast there and you need some luck no matter who you are, but motocross was absolutely flawless.
Id hate to be Hunter! He was the Star of the brothers when they came to the US.. Now Jett is on top
You wouldn’t want to see your brother succeed? Man your parents did a shit job!
Watching again and it’s all spot on! Jett 💪🏽
Was same story with AC
Oh wow, fucking settle down
Meh. They say the same about a 250 ridet every couple of years. Everyone was saying the same thing about Adam when he arrived
braaaaaap
Biggest fan of jett, but keep it low guys. Dont put too much on the guy. Let him ride 250 at least 2-3 yrs. and ken is still younger than many 250 riders amigos
i was thinking the same thing the media keeps adding all this pressure and putting this burden on him and he may end up like Adam who imo hasnt lived up to the hype.
how about he wins a title first lol. He aint no james stewart boys.
@@garrett3234 they think he should win next year no matter what (which i agree mostly) and then move up to 450 with not even 19 yrs age, thats what you call burning out a big talent
@@jhamelin119 pretty crazy that he says jett is going to be the next mcgrath.... and yesnobody is a stewart not even herlings which he always claims himself haha no honestly big fan, jett is crazy good but man we thought exctly the same for AC he should have won everything. but life is hard and unfair sometimes
@@JP-xd6vs agreed 169%
He's already there
I put money on it that we will never see another rider as succesful (stat wise) like Ricky - Ricky was ahead of him time as for training, etc.. we all know the story, but now every single rider copied Ricky including Amatuers. We got super talented kids coming up every year. In a few more years both classes will be full of top amatuer kids that were predicted to be winners. Imagine a full gate of past Loretta Lynn champions... There wont be enough factory rides to support the talent. We may start to see privateers start winning moto's - because everyone is so good. Like Marchbanks is perfect example and Coty Schock... both great riders that can win, but not on a factory team. We're starting to get a taste of whats to come already with the 450 and 250 class with multiple riders winning moto's. We will have new "Jetts" coming in every year. Lets say Haiden Deegan is coming up next for example... its crazy if you really think about it hahahaa
Ok Kenny’s all done. Move Jett to the 450 for outdoors.
Future looks good, some great young riders coming up, Lawerence bros, Deegan and Bennick in a yr or 2, etc etc.
Also Liam Everts in Europe
Evan Ferry
Ryder diffranseco
Jett ryendols
Levi Kitchen and Nick Romano too
Then we've got those nobody's yet heard of.
It's amazing I hear a lot of comments from media really pumping Jett and the I see a lot of fans saying maybe cool it a little bit with him. I really think we need to take a breath and let his career play out and just enjoy his talent
Then he goes out and beats the top two title contenders straight up. Comes from 19th to to second. He’s a stud.
@@seaeff6428 Like I said just enjoy his talent
@@seaeff6428 I remember another rider who did that but ended burning out with lots of wins that rarely added up for titles.
Not a Blair fan but I do agree with Lawrence, another year. I want to see this boy break 72! Said by an old man who loves MC!
Y’all said the same thing about ADAM
Chase sexton too, 450 rookie and he’s smoking the big dogs and he’s working with Stewart
Title contender for sure
thats who daniel was talking about before he was talking about jett
Jett will ruin Deegan's plan
All im saying is regan duffy is on his way bro no ones gonnna see him comming wait for it
I watched Jett race southwick yesterday. He looks like he’s not even trying when he rides. I can’t explain it. God given talent.
I feel like all of this should be prefaced with he could possibly be the next superdooper star. Remember we’ve seen a lot, A LOT of flops from their first year in 250s to their 450 career.
Or Ricky
Have ya heard of a kid named Deegan?
Is the Jett the next R.C. ?
It's going to be sexton and jet on 450's
I hope Hunter smokes Jett THIS WEEKEND
That's what the talk was about Mike Alessi, but Jett is cool and Alessi talked alot of s/]it
Hopefully Jlaw doesn't become the next Jlaw
Not a chance, Jlaw loves racing and donuts, Jlaw loved trashing hotels and alcohol.
there is only 1 and true Jlaw 338
@@bewimotos You day it like it’s some huge achievement. You’re right there’s only one guy that had a cocky shit attitude and threw his career away out of pride. Jett’s career will be far more decorated than Jlaw’s.
If you see this Jett try not to let it go to your head, stick to the plan. Be smart.
You can’t compare a single person to Travis pastrana let alone this kid-what a fkn insult to the motorcycle god-just stop.
He’ll either be like the JS7s, the MCs, the RCs, and the Reeds, or if the fame takes over he could end up like J-Law. I hope the best for the dude
Nah,no J-Law scenario.He has far too many good people in His corner! He is a very grounded kid,Him n His Bro!
theres never gonna be another Js7 Mc or Reed in are sport tbh. they where like messi Ronaldo and pele of soccer man. Jett has potential to be great but i dont think we will ever see another of those 3
NO way will he be J-low, Hunter and/or his dad would beat his Australian ass. Now becoming consumed / distracted with girls that’s possible
Lets not get ahead of ourselves. He's clearly good, but racing in a field where his only competition was Colt and Craig and he was losing to them. WAY too early to be calling him the next MC or JS7.
Agreed, they were saying the same thing about Cianciarulo and look at him now
Craig has been racing for 10 years
Jett makes stupid 18yo mistakes, if it weren't for those Craig has no chance.
Craig wont do anything on 450s.
@@jacobcurtis6849 Craig has raced 450s before and did well. Did you just start watching this sport last week?
@@SOLDOZER update?
@@joelmatthews5697 Ill give an update when he has more competition than 4 guys.
If Hunter and Jett stay healthy, and without injury, they are both going to become dominant. More than they are already being so young and rookies. They don't ride like rookies. Super technical, calculated and smooth. Just like Pastrana and Bubba.
Well neither of them are rookies, they're second and third year racers and injuries have already happened for both of them so that's a lot of "ifs" man. I'm a fan of them both, don't get me wrong but I can see all the media hype backfiring on them
@@chrismoore3104 I agree completely, but they are still rookies, still at the beginning of their careers.
@@Slipvayne1 I love the fact that they both aren't afraid too be themselves in front of the camera and I love both of their riding styles, although I wish the media big wigs would give Hunter more credit instead of always talking about Jett. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if big bro wins the outdoor title this summer.
@@chrismoore3104 same here man, Hunter has improved over this Supercross seasons just as much if not more than Jett. He did really good and he looked super comfortable and quick during press day for Outdoor. Both looking good for the title!
@@Slipvayne1 I don't have peacock so I didn't get to see press day live at least. Does the track look decent or like typical so cal? I race in PA so I'm partial to east coast dirt and track layouts.
Just my opinion I agree but I don't think he's gonna win the same amount of titles as RC @ JM the only other person that did it was RV@RD@CW but they weren't back to back.....
😂😂😂
Anybody that actually listens to Main Event Moto knows that DB makes wild predictions that don’t usually happen. That’s one of my favorite podcasts and he’s not right all time. I suggest everyone check out Main Event Moto with RacerX. It’s a Really good and funny at times podcast.
Jett almost looks like he's just doing a sighting lap or slacking off and still going faster than anyone else in his group.
It’s crazy aye
Jett is just a good rider
This guy is elevating him a bit too much
I have not seen what you see on him
All and all Jett performance next season
Remains to be seen (lots of things can happen between now and then)
There are plenty of extraordinary riders on the 450 class
Good luck to Jett and his team
Lars after MXON 2022 the boy has had a very impresive year. SX, MX titles and a 1st and 2nd to win open class at MXON first time out on a 450. Now onto next year to defend his 250 title SX , his first 450 MX season and super motocross, 2023 is going to be interesting how it goes hope he stays fit and healhy. He is a talent for shaw.
Well said! The kid is flawless on a bike…just🤯 one in a hundred billion.
We all know how AC Went in his early years. The kid is not the next MOTOCROSS GOD PEOPLE still got time to grow For FU.. k sake.
Jett will be the reason everyone knows about supercross you already see people from other sports recognizing him just wait until he starts dominating while being calm and having fun like a 2017 2018 Jason Anderson
“The one thing that can throw him off...is fame” lmfaoooo yeah no shit. Yet here everyone is putting this kid up to be the next superstar and he’s what, 18?? Don’t put such a massive expectation on the man. Get real dude. Tf
100 percent agree kid has the craziest flow!!
If you wreck it's not the bike it's your arm strength it's just not up to par.
I'm just thankful to be around to see him ride. You know what's great. He will line up with Haiden deegan one day. I hope to see that also. The future is bright everyone.
Enjoy it.
James stewart- "you dont got what I got boy"
Not even close to Stewart. He was untouchable on in the lights.
@@randysmith8604 he was untouchable when he didnt DNF.
Knew that the very first time I seen the kid on a KTM 50 !
Jett only competition will be Sexton for the next 5 years. Everyone else will be retired like Tomac Roczen Anderson Barica Stewart
Jet needs a long time in 250's. He's still wild. Being wild on a 450 is dangerous.
I feel like not enough people are talking about Max Vohland kid shreds and he's about the same age as Jett. Would love to hear some interviews with him but unfortunately there aren't many.
Thoughts on when Hayden deegan comes in? Could be a famous rivalry in the future
No kiddin'. That kid's got mad speed and sick style.
Pastrana was probably the most gifted person in motor sports ever.
I'd be great if this pod talked more about others as well as jett
I am tired of all this hype with Jett, give the kid a break, there are so many expectations this kind of reminds me of James Stewart, James could’ve won so many more championships but I think all the ones he didn’t was cause there was so much expectations on him to win, he was expected to win all the time and that ruined it for him. He never learnt the important lesson of taking second!
Look at Jeffrey Herlings, look at Adam Cianciarulo, look at Mike Alessi and so on, Who would of thought that Cairoli would be 8 times champion when he did his first year pro, he could barely get qualified or who would have thought that Villopoto would be overlapping Alessi on a daily basis, What about Webb? All eyes where on Cianciarulo so please stop your predictions, there are many riders out there that are maybe invisible today but will probably surprise you in a few years!
Jett Lawrence is incredible and is one of the Best in the sport, I can differently see him being the next Jeremy McGrath for sure, He's differently got some major Talent under his battle!!
It’s always so funny to hear DB slob on the knob of Roczen, Webb and now Jett..
And here we're a year later and he's tearing up the 250 supercross class
biggest take away is producer is 17 ?
18 now...
pretty much what jett did this weekend, I was in awe watching him the 2nd half of that 2nd moto
And faster than the 450 guys lap times too 👌🏻
Until fame pays (way) better than dirtbike racing -- Jet will kick everyone in the number plate. Hopefully his body will be intact when being a "Former Dirtbike Champion turned [not dirbike racer-job]" is how people introduce him.
Imagene: Jet selling Japanese whisky to the Japanese, in Japanese. Or a reverse mortgage to senile pensioners. Maybe Quantas Airline tickets or shares of Gulfstream to investors. That'll be hilarious. Go Jet.
You can predict whatever you want. You do remember when roczen came over to the us to race the lites and his coast didn't race he raced a 450 supercross for fun and ended up 3rd if I remember right dudes.
Meaning, you don't know what happens
Prediction was spot on
I wonder if Jett has talked to McGrath at all. It would be useful for him to sit down with the King and just learn how Jeremy did it all those years, winning race after race, and not crashing that often. It might mitigate the issues he will have in his first couple years of 450SX. LOVE the show, dude. Thanks for getting these guys in and talking. I love it.
FAME... remember my name!!!!.... Yep....
Jetty and Hunter... Dude.. they are "My Boys".. I have been riding around the forests of their Beerwah home since long before they were both born! And still do!!! haha... QLD'ers... we stick together Jase! (I did 6 years riding up around Mareeba AND the Crab track)
#GetRonanAroot!!!
Please He ain't gonna be nothing special we ain't ever seen
Let's not jinx this kid! His career can turn into AC or Forkner very quickly if we keep praising him so early before he wins a title. Riders off the radar have had more success the past 5 years: Webb, Osbourne, Sexton, and now Nichols.
Jett ends up in hunters shadow! I'm calling it
😎👍Exactly what I’m thinking. He’s got the speed, he’s got less pressure, and probably pissed that he’s constantly being overshadowed.
He will only fall on 450
