This is a story about the 20 year old 7x Supercross & Motocross champion who has all the ingrediants to take our sport to the next level but hasn't delivered on what was promised by he and his management over the last 4 years.

I was fortunate enough to write and produce a movie for the Disney Channel back in the late 90s called Motocrossed. What was paramount to getting the film done was the willingness of the athletes and the sport's governing body to participate and help us with access to riders, events, etc. When we needed riders to do a cameo scene we had written, we had a list of guys we wanted and figured we'd start at the top, fully expecting to get turned down by the really big stars. To our surprise, Jeremy McGrath, Travis Pastrana and Steve Lamson were the very first to step up and agree to be in the movie. And all three said they would do anything if it would give the sport more visibility and grow its popularity. And it did. In fact Jeremy mentioned the movie in his autobiography as one of the things that helped grow the sport back then. Now this was 25 years ago and things are VERY different. But, what needs to exist at the very core of everyone involved in Motocross and Supercross, is the desire to spread the word about the greatest sport on the planet. For that, we need people working in the sport who are true believers, motocross lovers, fans. MX and SX are fantastic TV sports, exciting as hell to watch in your living room if you can't make the race. All it takes is a couple of times watching it and having it explained and people get hooked.I truly believe that nowadays, the one of the issues we have is that the revenue streams are so diverse that a top rider doesn't need to work as hard on the side stuff as they used to. I know people are going to say, "The guy just wants to race and he's winning"! "Why does he have to do any more"? Look at any other motorsport from Indy to NASCAR would be my response. Those guys schedules are packed with appearances, meetings with sponsors, charity and other events that place their brand in the public eye, That's how those sports get so huge. Anyway, I'm so sorry for being the rambling idiot, but Moto means the world to me and I want to see it go next level in my lifetime. I'll leave you with one final note. When I wrote that movie, I was invited to go to races across the country, to stand down to the track during a race, and I even got to participate in the Suzuki Crossover Challenge, a pro/am race that put a bunch of guys who could ride but were from other disciplines on equally prepped Suzuki125s and let them race at intermission at the San Diego round. It was terrifying on the one hand and on the other it was the greatest day of my life. The point is there was an effort to help us get the movie made. I recently reached out out to Feld in regards to a second movie I'm working on and doing some research during the SX season. The response I got was from a guy who had never heard of our movie and pawned me off on some publicity firm who never returned my calls. If I'm working at Feld, I have to believe another Motocrossed is good for the sport. But no one seemed to care. There is a systemic feeling that as long as we got ours and we're pumping our brand, then this is enough. It's not. It as to be about the entire brand. Not just one rider. Truthfully we have the greatest cast of characters the sport has ever had RIGHT NOW. Use that. Get the Lawrences on Jimmy Kimmel or Fallon or whoever, Get those faces out there. The world will love these guys.Thanks for putting up with my rant. See you all at The Wick!

God bless your heart I'd love to help produce that second era. But please. We gotta match the bike sounds. Lol I keep saying every second I get the chance. That. Our sport we all love needs to. Open up the rider spectrum.... For example. Look at MxGp MotoGP EMX 125 EMX 250 MX2 MX1 WMX THOSE ARE ALL HUGE HUGE CLASES ALL PUT IN SEQUENCE BIG MX2 MX,1 OVER THE Weekend AND THE REST OVER THE DAYS LEADING TO. THE BIG WEEKEND. AND THERES ALOT MORE CLASSES. I JUST APPRECIATE HOW THEY KEEP THE INDUSTRY TOGTHER AS A WHOLE. AND FOR ALL SKILL LEVELS AND LOOK AT HOW BIG IT HAS GROWN OVER THE YEARS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE POND IT'S COOL WE HAVE MX SX IN SEPARATE SEASONS AND NOW THEY HAVE SMX BUT LET'S KEEP IT REAL HERE I FEEL LIKE THE SPORT IS GROWN OFF OF THE GRASSROOTS RACERS THE AMATEURS AND ALL THE FACTORY ADD A PRO LEVEL AND I'M NOT SAYING THAT WE NEED TO HAVE MORE CLASSES ON THOSE EXACT NIGHTS BUT YOU MENTIONED THE SUZUKI CROSSOVER RACE WHICH IS THE 125 2 STROKE RACE WHICH IS LIKE ICONIC AND A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT IT EVER EXISTED THERE'S SO MUCH WE CAN DO BUT NOW THERE'S MAJOR GATEKEEPING GOING ON IT BOILS DOWN TO MX SPORTS AND FELD ENT LIKE I SAID EARLIER I THINK A MotocrossED 2025 A NEW ERA IS A VERY GREAT IDEA AND WE NEED TO Speak UP THESE TIMES ARE TOUGH FOR EVRRYONE. BUT IF WE ALL WORK SMART AND MAKE SOME NOISE. ITS GONNA BE FOR THE BEST LOOK AT THE AMATEUR CLASSES ARE STACKED. THE STACYC HAS BEEN SOO GOOD FOR THE INDUSTRY. AND I STAND BEHIND YOU AND YOUR PLANS. IM A PRO LVL RACER AND. YOU CAN LOOK ME UP. ALEX DUNCH IM JUST GETTING BACK INTO THE SPORT AND HOPE TO BE BACK ON THE GATE NEXT Year Reach OUT TO ME IM ALL EARS ❤

@@dunch711 Bro thank you so much. I cannot tell you how pissed off I was the day I showed up for the final mix of the movie and heard the sounds they had for the races. It was like a single dude on an 80 pulling away from the line in last place. It was brutal. We searched all over but at 8pm on a Friday before internet was really happening the way it is, there was no place to find them. But I hear you. Trust me. And I'm with you on wanting to keep the privateers in the mix at the big events. I wish there was a way to have a single race, maybe 10 laps for the guys who didn't make the main. Then at the end of the year add up the points and pay out money for the top 10 guys or something as long as they raced more than half the races. I don't know. I just feel so bad for guys who love the sport like we all do who show up at these things and go home having lost money., But I guess that's the choice you make. When I rode the Suzuki Crossover, it was my first time riding on a super cross track. And anyone who even attempts that deserves something for the effort. I is freaking scary as shit, bro. But I'm sure you know that. Anyway, thanks for the props. Hope to see you on the gate soon!

TBF they have the best TV deal right now than they have had in a very long time with a streaming app that isn't overpriced. You also don't have to get a separate one for SX and MX like years past. That was only possible with the combined SMX series. The TV stuff was covered in length when the SMX championship was created. There's also a really good media presence in moto that makes good content. We will always be a niche sport though... motorsports are smaller than stick and ball, and offroad racing even more so.

It used to be on TV every weekend in the late 80’s and 90’s and we had the 500cc class outdoors. We could just record the supercross and motocross on VHS and watch it whenever. The sports stations stopped carrying it. The steaming came about as a need to get it out to people cause no major broadcaster would carry it. ESPN had it every weekend with Dave Despain and it didn’t cost any extra.

At the end of the day why give a shit, go do something game changing with your own life.

100% I’ve watched interviews from riders in the pre-RC4 days who would compete and then party for the week then race again. When RC turned up they were shaken because suddenly they had to train hard and take it seriously or they were never going to win another race. Now all riders are on that style of program and they’re going to have to find something extra if they want to run up front.

see my rant above....this BS of making the Riders responsible to also 'grow the sport' while they are the ones PROVIDING the entertainment in the first place is INSANE; Eat, Sleep, Train, Ride is all they do while at their best; MEDIA, AMA, FIM, PROMOTERS and MERCH makers all get rich off the backs of these young athletes while they do 9 tenths of NOTHING except make more rules and look for ways to make the riders and teams pay more; Just like Politics, the whole 'system' is back to front and arse about face; i can remember when the sport was being promoted and was 'free-to-air' every Sunday afternoon; that era of the late 80's and 90's grew the sport and then the Money Merchants got involved; leave the riders alone and let them do what they love to do; if this CORPORATE Money Merchant crap keeps going it will kill the sport; maybe that's 'their' idea...."you will own nothing and you will be happy"

Riders are what provides personalities and thats whtat draws people in and KEEP them in. Look at other sports, when there are stars and needle pushers, it doesnt matter how good they are, it matters how interesting they are. Conor hasnt won a fight since 2020, but yet hes one of the sports biggest draws. Look at golf when Woods had that baby mama drama. People care about drama and peoples personality. Its what gets people to watch and go to the races, how they generate more revenue and grow.

Look at pretty much every wrc driver, nearly all f1 drivers especially max, now look at jett . Now think how many drama obsessed Americans are dominating the world stage. F1 , wrc , motogp , world super bike ? Even indy car has been dominated by non Americans. Then you have nascar , yhe most drama filled brain dead sport and shane van gisbergen came from nz and flogged em in his first race . 🤣. You can insist that motorsport needs drama but good racers will bring that by being better at there sport not flapping their gums.

@@bradmatthews3822 well said; it seems most Americans love the drama and love being the centre of attention; seems they think life is one big 'reality TV show' and want, no demand, their 15 minutes of fame; when it comes to sport (in general) they hate being beaten by 'outsiders' so much that they will do all they can to create drama in an effort to 'put the competition off their game' while promoting themself at the same time; swimming, tennis, Olympics, Motor-Sports...doesn't matter; Drama and self-Promotion always comes into it; look at Chase for example; great rider but....he claims to be the fastest; the media clowns tell us he is the fastest; all his American fans tell us he is the fastest yet somehow he consistently fails to finish at the front; "the bike is not good"...."the set-up is way off"....."we've been struggling with this chassis all season" and all the rest of the excuses; if i were Roger Decoster or a KTM executive i would of sacked him long ago for bagging the product that he is paid to promote; how a few sprint laps in the middle of a race equates to being 'the fastest' escapes my thoughts; a few fastest laps doesn't make anyone the fastest over a 30 minute plus Two laps race. "in order to finish first, first you must finish" comes to mind; just like JS7 in his hay day, everyone said he was the fastest but how many times did he crash himself out of a race?; again, great rider but he too rode over his or the bikes ability way too often; BUT, he never blamed the bike; he was humble enough to admit "my bad".... doesn't matter what bike we ride or how awesome the bike is, there's a very fine line between being fast and being close to out of control and only along for the ride hanging onto the 'bars for dear life; being along for the ride can only last for so long.

It's pretty simple. This sport is too expensive. Not only do you need the bikes but you need somewhere to ride them.. You need your friends to have them.. Fuel/Parts/Gear/Mechanical knowledge.. By the time you have money for them you're generally already too old to be taking the risks of learning. They aren't Ideal for people to get into with a family to take care of. The Price should come down to $5k for a new bike. 11k-13k for a stock bike out the door is too much for the common.

in ur example motogp and formula1 should be dead sports right? for me as european watching ama is terrible since the pass is expensive af. im only watching the races couple days afterwards from somewhere i can find them for free with shit quality. this sport is at the same level right know where movies/tv shows were before netflix and other stream platforms. i think there is a huge amount of people that just dont bother watching it at all cause of this , which is sad since motocross/supercross is easily the best sport in the 2 wheel gategory to watch. i also watch nhl and its so much cheaper and easier to access + with the same price i get also formula, motogp and plenty of other sports to watch aswell. so that is one big thing that needs improvement if the sport is ever going to grow bigger.. and for the topic of the video, i got into watching motocross cause of lawrences and deegan doing legendary stuff , i like how deegan show their lifestyle in youtube and i also understand if jett wants to focus just riding after all the heat/hate he is getting. but lastly the biggest difference in moving the sport is still coming from ama.

I think at the beginning for Jett the rising fame and being comfortable with his family not struggling was the biggest part on why he was so open and willing to have redbull follow him 24/7 filming everything he did. I see Jett around tracks a lot and now i think is annoyed with how much attention is on him at all times. The same questions every interview, the forced smile, the constant hey meet these people, fans yelling at him treating him like he should acknowledge them on race day. Everyone trying to hop on his train. Its not just racing a bike anymore. As soon as he is done with his stuff he leaves as fast as he can with his family. He is 20 there is a lot of pressure on him and its not going to stop anytime soon. Great video it was awesome!

Like this weekend, granted his shoulder issue, Chase had him locked up and that comes with confidence. Likely the whole fan base is dying to see ET3 come back and give Jett a beast mode run, I don't think there's a person around that thinks Jett can beat Eli in beast mode, its to bad he's coming back from an injury so maybe we wont see it or maybe we will in a late round.

Thats it if monster or red bull ever pull the plug this sport is screwed. Oh yea forgot about rock star energy. For this sport to truly grow the bikes need a over haul to be able to showcase a title team sponsorship. The only real benefit for sponsors is on the podium yet people complain the riders give cookie cutter speeches on the podium.

I really don’t get the obsession with ‘grow the sport’? I love motocross and supercross the way it is, I love that it has some of the most grassroots fans of any sport I’ve seen. It’s amazing that you can go to an event like Redbull straight rhythm (when it was around) and bump into and say hi to Chad Reed and Ken Roczen just walking around the place like I did in 2017. That’s not likely to happen with F1. I like that the riders can say what they want without the whole world shitting on them, although that is changing because everyone is so sensitive about what others say nowadays. Jett has turned all business since everyone shit themselves when he says what he thinks. Great production but I have to disagree, Jett isn’t bad for the sport, he’s just good at it. It’s a competition and he is proving he’s the best, if you want a dramatic script go tune into Netflix ✌🏼

The sport is huge and we all love it! But is a niche sport! Don try to turn MX/SX into soccer… is too expensive, Risky and loud… The riders are hero’s they have the worst schedule they race every weekend barely have a off season and are risking their life every time they enter track! Do you think that’s a dream sport for the American family?! If you are frustrated that you can’t be rich by being a media of a niche sport that is your problem… don’t try to put unnecessary weight on the kid… The family risked their house on the sport. They are a great exemple of professionalism. the races are really fun to watch and people say he is bad for the sport???

McGrath was dominating Supercross for 7 years, and Supercross was growing like never before. It all depends on what is done around it. He is great for the sport, we still need to wait for the weekend to see who wins, and we should all enjoy that and watch the sport growing. McGrath´s, Stewarts, Carmichaels, Lawrence´s, is what our sport need!

Do you really want our sport to become a bunch of Connor mcgregors though where kids grow up being raging dicks to others just to increase clicks? Recent interview of dungey talked about how DeCoster told him he'd be done if he ever threw his bike down again because there are a million others out there that would love to have that - that was in a celebration after a win... Angerboy had a mechanical so he kicked his bike down a hill and slammed his gear around at unadilla because it's clearly nothing to him. Classless. I raced for sponsors too when I was younger and I was told by my parents that if I ever so much as threw down a glove, I was done. I never did, nor did I want to - through mechanical failures, bad days, celebrations, anything because I genuinely wanted to show my sponsor and team that I truly appreciated all of the money, time, and effort. Every coach of mine growing up, in any sport, always taught us to let the scoreboard do the talking. The constant WWE trash talking is the opposite of that - it's just promoting poor sportsmanship. Starting as early as kids start playing sports, they're taught to line up and go shake the other teams hands after a game to tell them 'good game' regardless of what happened in the game; That's the opposite of regularly talking crap on every single competitor, flipping them off, spending most of the event messing with them and trying to knock them down, or showing up at their pits and yelling at their moms. We don't need that. It's just bringing in trash reality TV. People close to him have been saying now he has two personalities too - one is just for clicks. Just be real and don't be a dick. Masterpool isn't a dick and he's entertaining, pastrana, and many others have done that. And he can stop with 'all the haters' as if he doesn't have one of the largest followings ever in the sport - it's just the same 'us against the world' misleading marketing BS the metal Mulisha used when they're one of the most known brands ever. We don't need that garbage

I hate the negative focus on all places but first place. 2nd place on down emphasis on what a let down it is. I’d like to bring gratitude into our sport and see how that helps grow the sport.

Little deegs is starting to become a racer and his youtube channel is starting to fade due to his lack of personal life. That was the interesting thing during his amateur career, watching him have fun, we dont see them have fun anymore. Motocross became too Family strict. I havent seen any outside sponsors in a long time. Jett and haiden are the only ones that can achieve that. Brian has the ability he is very intelligent but Hiaden and jett have become obsessed on winning.Both of their social media have become dull. i stopped watching the 450 last year so did my whole family. It got boring at one point. This video did open my eyes. i never though of it that way. Dana White should buy Supercross and Motocross, He did buy Nitro Circus. this sport cant die and become boring. we need shit talk, we need dirty passes, backflips like pastrana did, freedom, freedom, freedom.

It’s the old saying, when the gate drops the BS stops. I and many others don’t follow SX/MX for rider personality off the bike, I watch because of the riding ability of these blokes. I personally have been a fan of every rider that’s ever hit the gate in the big leagues. As a rider I know how demanding the SX/MX sport is, it’s easy for me to look in awe of how good these riders are, because I know how difficult it would be for myself to achieve the speeds etc on any of these big leagues tracks, then maintain it for 30min, bloody super human to me, Mind & Body. If you’re not interested in Motorcycles, ya probably don’t care about SX/MX, people love tennis, I personally can’t watch tennis, but I can hit a racket on holidays now and then. I can’t watch lots of sports on TV etc, everyone is different, the only way to grow the sport is with people involved of motorcycles in general, my opinion.

I'm sure they are throttling as much PR as they think is healthy. Remember what happened to Ken shortly after he showed up to A1 in a suit? This ain't no soccer game.

My favorite rider is Jeremy McGrath, he was on N64 supercross games while i was young. Which pushed me to start racing, then i got into FMX.

The Lawrence Brother's Story is an epic one (that continues) and our sport should try to leverage that as much as possible. I do understand that having Jett win every moto, without a lot of real challenges is "boring" for fans. Jett should not be ashamed for being so talented in the sport of MX/SX, but I do think he has the responsibility of helping to grow the sport and give the sport more visibility (a wider audience). This is an exciting sport, and more people should be exposed to it and educated on it. We are talking about (perhaps) the highest level of athletes in the world. Jett races for Honda HRC... I remember back a few decades when Honda was also winning with Standon and Bayle... they won a lot of races and championships BUT, and this is a big BUT, they were not superstars... it wasn't until Jeremy McGrath, aka the King of Supercross or "Showtime," came along and put on a "show" for the fans. He won with flair. Pastrana was mentioned, and yes he was a superstar as well... I hope Jett steps up and embraces the lime-light and the public (more). Good video. PS: This conversation wouldn't be complete without mentioning Haiden Deegan... he has the showmanship mentality and the talent to back up his boasting.

This is like asking if RC was bad for the sport.. No, and neither is Jett. Here's how it works - when someone comes along and upsets the status quo (like Jett has) this makes the established "stars" of the sport either step up their game or get out altogether. Jett simply signals another new era in our sport, that's all. I am old enough to remember the Marty Smith one, the Bob Hannah one, the Jeremy McGrath one, and the RC one. We can't add Jett's name to the latest one - YET - we will have to wait for a few years and championships first...

He's very good and basically came in at a time many top riders are close to retirement and are suffering from ongoing injuries.

This is the exact reason Jett pulled back from this stuff. He caught hate from it and watched the hate that Brian and the entire Deegan family has gotten from their social media channels. Haiden is doing exactly the thing Jett’s agent said he wanted to do, what Brian, The Mulisha, and Travis did in Freestyle… but Haiden gets hate.

Idk man I’ve been to one of the supercross and the amount of fans that were pushing people over to meet Jett was gross. Pushing kids also as grown adults. I think everyone wants to meet them both. They are very popular probably for different reasons.

This video makes absolutely NO SENSE for a multitude of reasons: 1. 982 subs - 90k views. Don't believe it. 2. Jett has three sponsors that have nothing to do with our sport (Mvmt - Quad Lock - Anti Social Club). Besides KR, no one has done this since Dungey (Target, Hair Cuttery, Ear Buds, Nike). 3. Lucas has elevated EVERYONE'S salary - this is a fact. Ask the "other riders" including privateers. The fair market value has gone up for everyone since Lucas has pushed the point with OEM's and others. 4. Unlike the "other" riders, the Lawrence brothers have invited fans into their world at the track. Compare this to other riders that hand out a certain amount of tickets for autographs. 5. No one has had a merch drop that has been as successful as Jett and Jett gets the LEAST amount of money out of everyone. Ironically, the promoters make the most money - FYI. 6. I am not sure where you are getting your stats from, but how do you calculate that Jett has done LESS interviews. I see him engaging with anyone who stands in front of him. 7. Lucas is constantly on a plane traveling the world to meet with corporations that are willing to invest in Jett (and Hunter). Money invested in the Lawrence brothers is money that would have NEVER been injected into the sport. 8. Lucas and Dazi have done and incredible job allowing Jett and Hunter to focus on riding, racing and recovering. How about some credit where credit is due. You take it upon yourself to make them out to be "bad guys" - how, why? The perspective you brought to this video is absurd. The Lawrence brothers, Dazi and Lucas will go down as the most positive contribution our sport has seen since McGrath. I find it funny that it took three Australians to make a difference in American motocross! When you are not under the thumb of American promotors and you understand the true value of talent, things change for the better...let me introduce to you the Lawrence family and their agent Lucas Mirtl.

Stop people from suing tracks every time someone gets hurt. Stop politicians from pushing green initiatives who take away riding areas. Stop regultions that add to the expense of bikes. There are many reasons the sport is not growing. It has nothing to do with Jett. Let athletes be athletes.

Lucas is saying Jett has what we need to change the sport. Change what? We need true race bikes out there which are 2 strokes and this will bring the fans back and get motocross and Supercross on prime time tv

Jett is definitely not comparable to Travis Pastrana, who joined crusty demons at aged 12 an won his first x games with a near 100 points at the tender age of 15. He set the benchmark of human and machine capabilities.

Instead of gimmicky, i.e., doughnuts(?), he needs to be invited to the TV spots just as Travis was. THAT is the key.

If we want this sport to grow now is the time. But too many people are Karen’s and hate on the 2 biggest stars of the sport right now. Jett and Deegan. People complain about 450s are boring because Jett wins too much so what? He isn’t going to be like you know what I won last race I’ll let this guy win now… Congratulate him and let’s support him so he can help grow this sport, give him the attention. No better time than now to push this sport. There’s no such thing someone as dominant as he is is bad for the sport if anything he is the best thing right now because people can witness someone dominate. Think of F1 Max Verstappen he is always winning but no one complains

I think the sport would grow if they weren't greedy and making you pay a big $ subscription just for this sport. I'm in Aus and have Kayo which allows me to watch basically every sport. The SX was in it for 1 year and was awesome. Can't grow a sport when people need to pay that money just to get started with it

I agree let them show what they wanna show! If they don’t want to that’s their choice. They have sacrificed everything to be where they are! Most ppl don’t even realize exactly how much these guys give up and suffer to be on the line every weekend even the guys at the back of the pack! We need to stop trying to get more out of these guys their humans and go through more injuries pain and suffering that would boggle ppls minds. Then wonder why they retired at 27 30 years old. They use every muscle have to stay focused their hand eye coordination has to be top knotch and be able to process things so fast for 35 mins plus in a race not including practice training. Wears you down much faster then anything else out there and ppl should give these guys more respect and appreciation and treat them like the rare humans they are!

I think they did want to change and grow the sport, but once you start to win championships and become the guy the focus becomes only about the racing. We’ve even seen Deegan back off a bit recently. Haiden is even pitting out of the 450 truck the last few weeks which I assume is to avoid fans and focus on racing. It’s definitely tough to grow/change the sport and be the main guy winning championships. You’re also probably right about the financial incentives changing when you win everything.
