How NOT to Qualify for the Fox Raceway PRO NATIONAL! 

You got out there and tried to make it happen. Only 80 or so people on planet earth had the balls to show up and try, so great job dude. Cant ever bag on anyone enjoying riding and doing there best to make it happen. Keep rippin🔥🔥

Hey you’re still a superstar to me who couldn’t even make one lap in less than 10 minutes on that track. Hang in there we’re still pulling for you

It was great meeting you a little before the 250lcq good luck out in hang town

I paused the video after your first hot lap. To me, I got the impression you were really tight. It seemed like you were trying to force going fast which made lots of mistakes and being choppy. I think maybe with all of the stress, setbacks and the expectations (which I think you put on yourself btw. I think well over 90% of your viewers just love you and your videos regardless of how you place.) I think you just need to relax bud! We all know you are good and fast! I think if you can find a way to relieve some of that tension, stress, and built up frustrations from your off season, I think you will bounce back and start placing again.

Jwalk you’re pissing me off, stop sobbing and talking down on yourself so much, get out there and show em what you’re made of instead of feeling sorry for yourself, you’re better than that.

Hey man I’m sure a bunch of people have already said what I’m about to say but talking down on yourself or comparing to “how you were” last year or anyone in general is the thief of joy and happiness. What you’re doing and have done is impressive. You’re one of the top 3% of riders who HAS qualified. And you’re still in the top 3% of rider who are even able to or have the ability to even try and qualify. Most people and myself included can only dream of even being in the same spot you are. Good riding brother. Keep you head up, and stay hungry, humble and focused and most importantly stay positive!

Being a C class squid, I’m sure you’d lap me at pro national pace on the first lap any day 😂😂 keep up the great work Jeff!!!

Dude you are all good, nobody is going to judge you because of you're performance. We love you dude ♥ I hope to see you at hangtown tommorow, best of luck man.

Reset.. wipe that off... Let's get ready for the next one.. That track was gnarly for your first one in 11 months.. your not at 100 yet.. keep pushing

Commented a few months back regarding you only practicing. Matty B is a prime example, dude hammers and puts in the work, travels the country and gets after it and the content is sick too! It’d be good to see you do some money races and keep the programme running.

We can not roast you😂

If im being honest, I havent watched any of your other videos since last years nationals. These national videos you put out are SO good. keep em coming

Maybe if you done longer motos on rougher tracks and actually got some gate drops in at least a couple times leading up to nationals you would be more prepared and make some money too instead of asking for handouts or selling expensive ah stickers. Field is more stacked this year with hard working riders. 14 secs a lap off Jett is not going to get it done

Focus on a positive mindset, keep pushing, on to round 2 🤙🤙🤙

Honestly man just go out there and have fun and don't be so hard on yourself :D

That track looks tricky man, ruts everywhere and you were still flying, props to you.

Rode so bad the guy who’s been cheering for you in the comments stopped lol all love man! Only up from here! 🤘🏽

Just being out trying to qualify after your issues is a great start to the season

Yo Jeff walker, I’m looking for a bike to set up for motocross, I am 165 lbs 15 years old. I currently own a ktm 250 xc f 2009, but it feels to clapped to tune in for a racer bike. I wanted to know your opinion as u have raced a ton of bikes, I was looking to get a 125 2 stroke but I want to know what u think the right bike and brand and model to get

The important thing is to have fun and enjoy it. If you're not, don't even race that's what I'd say for any sport

Look first off , Its Motocross and secondly you are honest to yourself and that gets my respect , I shattered my wrist at Pax Traxx and three hour surgery and two months later with a ton of hard work i came back faster than i was before a silly mistake of casing a whoop on my sight lap and went over the bars and my bike landed on my arm . Could not believe it happened but the moral of my quick story is set backs make you take a deeper look at yourself and sounds like you have a great head on your shoulders a Kuddos to You for getting back after it. Pleasure watching your blog and what its really like . Not many people really get it unless you get it. KEEP RIPPING ..Sincerely

Out of curiosity, why don’t you race more? This past year I understand - you were hurt. But before that. I see a lot of other aspiring top pros traveling within a 5-6 hour radius as often as possible to hit bigger regional races during the offseason. I obviously don’t know pro motocross as well as you, but I do know racing, and I feel like racing as much as you can is better for a race program than turning practice laps on a track. It’s a mindset thing. You clearly have speed, so it seems like real time gate drops would be even better. Plus, we would thoroughly enjoy the content!

I was bummed to see you go into the LCQ. I was watching for you all qualifying

Your national videos are 100% fire no matter if you qualify or not bro we know it’s insane we all got the upmost respect for you for giving it your all keep the content of the nationals coming you’re gonna turn up this year I know it 👍👍👍

I’m glad you finished your vid like that. I was gonna put a massive comment summing that up. You’re a top 20 rider, screw your head on right and slay it tomorrow. Also by the sound of your bike vs what the cam shows really proves the deep and slickness of the track. You did not look like you were going anywhere in a lot of parts. But first race back, you know what to do Jeff. Stay up, stay strong, stay smooth, just let it come to you. 💪🏻 hope to see you at shougal!

What ever happened to your girlfriend who use to come to all the races? Haven't been able to watch in a bit. You tried bro, most of us can't get on the track! Good luck

Does your bike feel down on power out/up there compared to back home? Them 450's have so much power I was just curious how much it was noticeable. Hoping to catch you at Redbud this year. STAY SAFE Dude!

GoPro tames things down. Which means this is all even bigger..... how TF was Jett landing on top of that damn thing? No substitute for seat time. You're building, the results are coming.

You'll get there. Maybe some build up races might have helped? Track looks tough for a first race back. Your riding was improving - turn the page. Speed is in there somewhere and best of luck in Hangtown!!!

Riding with faster people makes you faster. Keep racing and ripping. I bet you climb up the ladder fast

Dude If I could ride as fast as you could on your “bad lap” I would be singing from the roof tops. Coming back from injury and still being able to go to pro nationals is insane even if you didn’t qualify. Even top guys struggle after like Tomac this year. Don’t be to hard on yourself, and things will only get better throughout the year.

Thank you so much, this means if I do the exact opposite I should qualify! Awesome work dude , keep braaping on dude till the wheels fall off

Next year think about racing the 250 class you ripped a 250

It is NOT your riding at all. I am a Cali Guy and it is/was your Suspension set up for that dirt. Your rebound was so freaking loose and quick for that slick track. Especially the far right part of the track that they normally don't run during the week where the dirt was lighter in color and it wasn't ripped deep and was more hard. You through that part of the track gave me anxiety. It was scary to watch how fast your suspension was rebounding in parts on that slick soil with the fine dirt on top, it literally was like riding on a Mirror with Baby Power sprinkled all over it, and your bike needs to be squatting and planted to the ground and your bike is hoping around. I would of been scared to death. Hangtown (my local track) will be way worse then that. Way more slick. Way more dried out, Way more slippery with a silt/fine powder on top to the soil. You have to get your Suspension dialed in by tomorrow, or Hangtown is going to be rough.

You need to give yourself a brake. Trying to compete at this level after not racing for a year is an almost impossible task. Just keep on working hard and the improvements will come fast. Remember you saying you riding sucked is still better than 99.9% of the riders out there.

Crazy how Jeff thinks hes a bad rider but in reality hes better than 99.9% of people in the entire world. You are your own harshest critic and likewise your own biggest fan. Remember where you came from and put into perspective just how good you are compared to the masses. Dont get all stiff and tense let yourself be yourself, worrying and stressing doesn’t help anything it only makes things more difficult so why let yourself feel that way in the first place. You got this shit Jeff believe in yourself ffs.

Consider this a wonderful opportunity to learn and grow from your experience. Try avoiding the Debbie Downer attitude and focus on what you can learn from it.

Start your own series. Two stroke Pro Nationals.. sign ups have to have pro license and have to race every race, have sponsors with big purse only for the final standings, and tracks across the country, have lots of media marketing, interview riders to build personalities. Enough fans attend pro nationals to fund another pro series.

Hey , what kind of handle grips do you use? I would appreciate the name Thanks

You need 24mm offset clamps will bring those forks out make you way more comfortable

Still a bad dude on a dirt bike but the problem is so is everyone else. The race will come where you feel comfortable, keep chugging away. Good luck in Hangtown 👍

Dude honestly sometimes you just have bad days, just think of it as progressing 1% at a time no need to rush, like i just broke my leg and im riding again and every ride is a progression session getting better 1% at a time and sometimes your just gonna have bad days. Don’t disregard yourself ive been watching you for a long time and you have the speed.

When guys like Jerry Robin are barely scoring points it’s pretty crazy how deep the field is

I hope you stayed in So Cal and got some more practice in. I love riding Hangtown and hope you have better results this week.

You gave it your all mate and that’s all we want to see! Just curious if what I saw was something you noticed… the front end seemed very busy and nervous. Did it feel that way to you or did you struggle with suspension setup to match the conditions?

Honestly has a privateer with a multi injury year I wouldn’t ever think you would be going as fast as you were especially considering the track being pretty loose and sloppy

Mabey on round 2 don’t wear a GoPro , Ik there won’t be footage but it might help you lock in more and focus on the riding and not the footage btw your a amazing rider🤘

Good ride today in hangtown man, was watching qualifying and looking out to see if you were gna make it thought and you did, good job man, give them hell later today bro! Much love, love the videos too bro keep up the work!

Super sad you didnt make it to Hangtown, I live close! How do you listen to music while riding??? I gotta know

You even riding on the same track as them guys! If more than most could do. Keep up the good work it’s refreshing seeing a first person go pro of the track

Great progress in a day. I think your reasons are totally valid. Good luck at Hangtown!

Seeing the bike so wiggly, I wonder if your fork is too hard? Of course I'm guessing from the comfort of my chair..

Currently watching you, P2 B group in hangtown! Letting that new gasgas eat!

Brother just remember where you are at. Myself along with so many others would do almost anything to be in the position you are and to have your speed.

I dont ride anymore but your first hot lap you keep letting off the gas on the face of the jumps.It looked like there was no passion in your riding.Keep at it, ive been watching this channel for a few years and if you have the $$ to do this then get noticed on the track and push harder.Do something to stand out from the rest of the bottom tier and i dont mean by crashing.

Good or bad we're still cheering for you and are happy to see you out there. By the time we see you at Southwick you should be all up to speed 🤣

Jeff you are riding a bike that the pros even struggle with going fast on going to the gas gas was probably a bad call but what do I know go Jeff tho 🎉

Keep it up you'll get it next time I was right there on the fence at fox cheering you on in the consolation race where you wiped out just don't get down on yourself

Dude idc how bad u think u did this is great footage great view of how gnarly the track is.

Way to go Walker not many guys get back up the way you did keep your head out of the mud and watch everyone else and how they ride so you can pass them I am routing for you

Could definitely tell towards the end there was way more aggression. Keep it up you’ll get in next on the next one

Was so sick seeing you in bryton carroll’s vid hanging out!

You’ve got this. You’ll learn from it and do better next round.

Dude , it didn't look that bad ! Those notchy ruts are a bit shit and it's hard to search for lines when comfort isn't there.

Good luck this weekend brotha

Don't be to hard on yourself the body will up the level next week!

Ass long as you stay seated as much as you do, this will be the result. Goood try though.

Still gave it a go. Hope it goes better for you at Hangtown. Still rooting for ya!!

Jeff no garbage from me😂 you're one of my favorite people to watch ride

Still riding killer as always. Would be sick to see a blue fender on one your race videos

I’m picking up the exact bike that Jeff rides in hopes to be as fast as him.

It’s Alr man we’re still here for u

You look way different from press day and so does the track

You got this, player!!!! Keep your head up.

Could tire selection have helped?

Qualify or not we love these vlogs!

Next one wil be better. We are sure! Lets do it Jeff!

coming up short on a lot of jumps on that first hot lap

I was wondering where you were in the motos

At the end of the day you left their healthy

i was SO BUMMED to not see you in the motos.

Champ mindset all day

JEFFFFFFFFFFFF❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

You're flying man. I seen you at Moto Xtreme, I said to the SC3 guys "that guy on the gasgas is hauling!" SC3: "That's Jeff Walker!" It was my first day back on a bike in 9 years, was cool to see you out there. 🤙 Good luck out there!

First one done. Nerves out of the way. Flow came back. SKYS THE LIMIT💪. You know what to do👍🤙. Can’t wait for race 2🙏🏻🧐😎

National tracks are harder, they form up differently and the competition is fierce...all tough things to wrap your head around....if you haven't done it for awhile. Hang in there, you'll be back up to speed in no time!! Good luck this weekend.

I believe it said you were 42nd in qualifying? That’s pretty damn impressive coming off reconstructive surgery, west coast, new bike, we can all see the potential you have Jeff just keep grinding don’t let those tough days beat you cause you’re tougher than half this competition 💪💪

I'm gonna need you to pump up the optimism these next few rounds. Dont forget who you are and what you've accomplished. You're an inspiration to all of us. Keep speaking great words to yourself and continue shredding brother.

Big respect! I understand if that performance was below your standards, but you are a damn BEAST!! Thanks for posting these amazing videos, we'll all be cheering you on!

Hey man dont beat yourself up so much. Being that negative isnt great for your headspace. You got this. Go jeff!

From racing MX locally and seeing you blow past me on a practice day at moto Xtreme it's mind blowing how much skill you do have. Keep up the good work Jeff.

Gnarly 💪 your videos and commentaries definitely show how intense this sport really is, keep it up Jeff 👉

Day something something of cheering on Jeff! Where’s the guy? Go Jeff go!

Glad to see that you still got that motivation, you got it next race!

Least ya have the nuts ta get out there and send it! Believe you me, i know what it is to be hard on myself.... just keep living in the moment... that is all we have... no regrets... you got this!

It takes a lot of effort just to get here so don’t beat your self up over it. You’re one of the best riders I watch consistently. Saw u there good luck at Hangtown

bad days come and go. you'll have us cheering you on no matter what.

🔥🔥🔥🔥

👊🏁
