When Ken Roczen wins , it makes my weekend. Seriously. These are the weekends I live for as a die hard Kenny fan . Can’t wait to see what happens going forward , still early in the season 👀
Dude 100% same here!! Kenny is the man and had such an inspirational journey back to the top......twice!! The only guy I wanna see grab a win as bad as Ken (ok almost as bad lol) is AC. After all both guys have been thru when they podium, win, or just have an awesome day it feels extra special and I'm super stoked for them. I really hope this is just the "Kickstart" of a killer run for Kenny the rest of the SMX season 😎✌️
@@baby-sharkgto4902 I def miss seeing AC at the races, but ive been watching his podcast and it's really good!! He had Sexton on not too long ago and it was a great ep. It was cool to see Chase just be a regular dude, joking around and laughing for a bit..... instead of his usual super serious self lol
I’m so happy Feld and AMA brought us the SMX playoff series! What a great idea 3 races format with a hybrid of Supercross and Motocross. I think this is going to be the premiere championship to win going forward.
Ricky did an excellent job explaining these guys are 1/100th of a second off each others laps time, so you can’t just pass like it looks. You really have to set it up or wait for a mistake.
I'm not sure if I come here every week for the expert analysis, or the laughs 😅 All I know is, it's the best post SX podcast on the web, no question. thanks for sharing James.
Malcom looked better this round but dang he just can’t catch a break. I picked him to finish 4th in points. I thought he would be battling at the front.
That’s what I’ve been saying. Bro said he got on supercross in late November. Everyone else was on supercross since September. He will get there and shut all the naysayers up. He’s done it many times before
Maybe right but Daytona is where it's for me. If he's back back it will be there when we see it, other wise I think this is the new Eli ....... and he's just a different version of Tomac
@@LilSebastian_ his contract is basically just full on an option contract. He can pick and choose as he goes along. In the second half of supercross he can choose to go outdoors and SMX, skip outdoors and do smx, retire, or sign for next year supercross only again. He’s basically able to do what he feels like. But I think we are going to see him go all year this year and then supercross only next year.
@@LilSebastian_I think he said there was an option for it. That's where Tomac truly goes beast mode. Of course he's become great at supercross, but outdoors is where he lets it all hang out.
Supercross is like NASCAR now, non racers are like “why are they following each other?” They just don’t understand they are riding the same highest speeds, there’s no way to pass one another unless there’s a mistake
Eli is dealing with arm pump because hes compensating for his achilles injury. When such an unexpected bad injury happens in a split second like the achilles, theres no doubt hes thinking about it. That makes him ride tense and less with his legs and more with his arms.
Idk why it’s so hard for people to realize, Eli is riding himself into race fitness. 10 months is an incredibly long break from upper body strength and you cannot do any workouts off the bike like how your arms get worked when racing. Racing within itself is another animal, he’s getting stronger every weekend. It wasn’t a terrible race, Jett finally caught him with 7 min left i believe. He rode consistent, strong, good pace, beat cooper, and he’s not sweating it. He will only get more and more fit and more comfortable. Wait for Daytona y’all
Not a bad idea, the other thing i was wondering about is. Maybe if you get lapped, next time you pass the Finish line you pull off the track and that is your finishing position. However it might be unfair on guys battling for points in 15th, and maybe a bit degrading as well having to ride off like that
i would love to see a world where Roczen never had that injury , oh what could’ve been. He will forever be on of the fastest most talented riders to ever ride a dirt bike. In means of just raw talent and speed in general.
@@BrianPoppapopularity isn’t going to make our sport better. It may make the tv coverage better, but not the sport. It’ll bring more idiots in that are only about money.
The arm pump is from not enough sadde time. Come on guys. While everyone raced every weekend this summer, while some guys did the MoN, they all did the SMX playoffs, the top guys went to Europe. Eli was laid up!!! He had 8 weeks of prep. He is racing himself into shape. 8 weeks!! You can train off the bike 20hours and it isn't gonna add up to a 20min main. As far as age, Kenny and Anderson are the same age within months. Some top TDF riders were 34yrs old. Give him some time. He should have used this year as a building year. The year after Eli won his first SX title, he only won 3 races the whole year!! He was 3 years younger came back and whipped everyone's arse. He needs time. I'm actually surprised he is doing this well, in this field, givin that serious injury.
Agree. You can't take that much time off the bike and just pick up where you left off. He'll be back. I just hope he decides he'd like to do motocross again
Agree 100%, not enough race time. Don’t agree with reference to age, u don’t go from 100-0 due to a serious injury and expect to get back to 100 after a few races. Tomac is so well conditioned to have age thrown in his face as an excuse. Give him time.
man james really shows how much knowledge he trully has explaining Tomac situation, he truly does know what he taking about , hoping the best for tomac and mookie
It's remarkable how different his insight and opinion is than the other outlets. Seems like pulp, vital, swap, etc all kinda say the same thing. JS7 is willing to say something different even if it isn't the popular opinion. What a legend.
js7 has the smarts and lived it at the top of the sport and imo still one of the best dudes to throw a leg over a bike. I don't think anyone can compare to James.@@colinhenderson7841
I just have to comment again on how great it is to have JS7 back around the sport again. I hope to watch you in the booth again. We need James to take over for Ricky again.
Best commentating by far...Please be at EVERY RACE!!! Be in the booth...PLEASE!!!!! I gotta say after McGrath then you I was wondering if I would like a rider as you 2. Tomac is that guy! So bummed for the end of last year SX when he had it locked up! Come on Tomac...get back to where you once belonged...(yeah you can sing that)
The smile on his face after triple crown win I thought he was back Eli was glowing but shit I still ain't give up on him Daytona is soon lets see what happens then
Justin cooper has indeed been really solid this year. Granted he’s always been quick, but I feel like his riding style has changed as he bulked up and whatever he’s doing, it’s working for him.
I've noticed Eli is sometimes "searching" for correct placement of his left foot on the footpeg. Where he would normally ride the ball of his foot, now he's looking for more support and the peg is more to the middle. I've shattered my ankle and had the same issue, where I had to change position to not flex my ankle as it would cause pain. Completely changes how you ride. Didn't really see it at Glendale so much but idk. Just a thought
Bro Kenny came out in the heat race and the main event and just said ✌️ out fools!!! No drama this time, just a wire to wire domination by The German Chocolate 😂
Thanks, JS7 for the Bloss story🤣it definitely gives The Correct perspective on Eli's struggles! As a longtime fan that is not what I remember or give any thought to. I remember the inspired rides!! Budds Creek, last to first. Saw it live👊🏾Jettson's comments once again 🤨about Eli! We shall see at Daytona if Beast mode is still in the Champ!!! I still believe it because I've seen more than a few of those rides in person as well. Eli didn't like how the season ended last year so I understand not letting that be your last race. A victory at Daytona would be a storybook ending to such an illustrious career.
Yeah it is....dunno how many of you remember the outdoor season after Anderson won SX. Tomac was second with his usual bad starts......mid way towards the end of the race he got close enough to see Jason. He did 8 seconds on Anderson in 2 laps, and passed him going away. Post race interview, what made you hang it out out there like that?...."When I saw him, I just went for it..."
JAMES, THE RANT AT THE 1 HOUR MARK WAS WILD !!!! OMG, ORIGINAL SHIT HERE AND FUNNY AS ALL HELL !! GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER FOR THE INSIGHT AND THEN A GOOD LAUGH !!!
Love your views on the riders and perspective on the races. @JS7 can you please somehow, someway get back in the booth for the races. RC Has great instincts and knows your craft but he's just not meant for the both. Maybe put him on the track and do updates during the race or something. You my man are not only real but you've got a real knowledge and personality to boot. I tried for yrs to get a picture and autograph from you but 5 hours in line was to much for my old beat up body lol. Keeping it real buddy. Always a fan during racing years and now loving your podcast.
I think Eli rides motorcycle more with the arms than legs because injury. (Arm pump) Also he knows from the past that championship is long so anything can happen.
The perfect season last year has messed up Jett’s head. He appears to be flirting with disaster which he does not need to do to win the title. I hope some coach sits him down and gives him a more mature mind, because if he avoids injury he has the capability to dominate Supercross for a long time.
Mookie looking good. When is a new video coming out? You gotta give your bro props. Mookie was flowing just got some bad luck in the main. It's breaking my ❤ love the Mooks
Funny enough, JS7 comparing Eli's struggles this past Sat to how Eli struggled at Indy last year...... I guess that works the other way for Kenny lol, bc he also won that race! Hopefully that win starts a great run for Ken the rest of the year, but I still wanna see Eli return to dominate at Daytona!! Love the content JS, thanks dude ✌️
People just hate change and thats the period where moving into in the next 2 years Do you think Hombre got a little spooked after he watched AP go down he was there then all of a sudden he was just mail it in for 2nd ..... great ride smart ride. I personally thought it was one of Jetts better rides yeah he made mistakes but we finally got to see what he can do in a full length race to over come adversity
Adversity? You mean not holeshot? I think you meant to say is that he's finding out there's stuff competition out there. Not a cuppycake season with all great riders out with injuries.
@mslman no I mean adversity of being pushed off the track, casing the triple, shit just not going right all the time adversity. So he worked through the pack of very talented riders and a Friese and you want to knock that effort hmmmm ok you do you boo
Serious question will JS7 ever pull a Laninovich (hope thats correct) and do a final comeback tour ....... still looking fit enough. Vote JS7 comeback ride 👌👍 Hes got 3 years on you Bubba no pressure 😂😂😂😂
