Congrats Jo, Deegan and Chase. Poor Anstie.
AC9 did great trackside. I like hearing other veteran riders perspectives.
I know HRC would wipe Jett’s ass if they need to, but that kids head is growing bigger than the sport which is not possible. He showed his stripes today from beginning to end. Waving the camera out of his face to the forced pat on the back he gave Chase after moto 2.
Yeah, I felt bad for Anstie, you know he was stoked about that first race on that bike.
We were all talking about AC9 being a commentator, he’d be perfect for that job.
I always lmao when Charmichael would say exciting new words we’ve never heard of before like “preparate”.
Chase looked awesome in the 2nd moto, ran down the golden child and smoked him!
Maybe he will get better now that he knows he can do it. I think he needed that badly.
As far as Jett goes, he’s just a kid. I hope he doesn’t get all full of himself like he might be doing, but at his age we are bound to see some of that shit.
When Charmichael was a little chubby kid on 80’s (yes, it said “chubbs” on the back of his pants) he would come to West Fla MX Park which was my home base back then, and he would enter the 250 Pro class on his 80.
He would get crushed off the start but he had so much corner speed he would literally start picking guys off because he would leave it pinned and never let off the throttle, and he had learned to scrub from Bubba early on so he would end up top 3 or on occasion even win it!!
It drove those guys f’n crazy, but they all new that this little chubby kid was a one in a million talent. He was always humble though, he worked his ass off and we all knew he was gonna do great things in the future.
If Jett gets the big head, life can get complicated and the bigger that head is, the more room there is in there for things that will take your focus off the things that got you there. I find it fascinating to watch that shit develop and how it plays out in reality, but everybody hates an MXer who is full of himself..
We’ll see what happens
