AC is coming back from a long time off the bike and is just trying to get laps in, i feel like everyone on track knows this and can see it in his riding, as he isn't pushing them hard in corners and basically letting guys who are quicker past. There was no need for Barcia to take him out, AC gave him the space.
It was Webb at @11:59. Also, the Tomac’s bobble at @19:19 was due to a hole in the track under his front tire, which was down to plywood. He landed his front wheel onto the plywood and still saved it.
Breakdowns are great! I feel that was one of Jetts most mature rides. Really felt like he took the first few laps to get a feel for the track and try alternate energy saving lines for later in the race and conserve some energy early on. He had the speed to stay with them so was very smart and the race came to him anyway. Barcia was dirty. No need to take AC out.
I really appreciate the breakdown, it helps to understand the importance of body position and all the small things that have to be hardwired into my riding. Watching Jett/Hunter everyday helps you understand what excellent riding/form looks like. Your academy helps developing rifers, keep it going. My home track FMX Paradise BFE, Indiana.
I love the breakdown of everything. Justin’s pass was dirty, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him pass anyone with the person he’s passing not ending up on the ground. He only knows how to ride one way and that’s dirty.
First time seeing your show, excellent job, your feedback and observations in layman’s terms made for a great watch and helped this old man learn a few things.
That last clip of Tomac, he spoke on that little bobble on the pulp show. He had said that that particular spot was down to the plywood. So that, mixed with him slightly overshooting that was bound to happen. That was a bizarre mistake from Tomac to me but when he said that on the Pulp show, it made a lot more sense to me. Crazy that these guys are getting down to the plywood in sections! These 450s just chew that track up up so hard.
Great breakdown. I love how you play the fence on Barcia/AC take out. As much as Justin admits that’s just who he is, where he’s from, and how he had to ride on 85’s with subpar equipment to pass other guys, he says that’s still who I am even though “I’m trying to get better.” The truth is, no he’s not. He’s a professional at playing stupid. Back peddling verbally after the race, or hand gesturing after a takeout during the race, doesn’t hide the “later bro” thought/action when he comes up to you in the corner. Anderson rightfully owed him back one, but the payback is too aggressive. He comes in so hot, not thinking “hey I’m probably going down too if I square him bike to bike flush at this speed.”🤷♂️ Risk vs reward is fine… but when it comes down to ego and payback, it’s just not a smart move for your own title run.
i know you're supposed to stay on the track... but had AC just went to the outside of a couple tuff blocks he would have saved a bunch of time by not falling. no infraction for that is there if you don't gain on anyone?
I absolutely love these breakdowns! As for the Barcia situation ... Dirty. Look at Barcia's reputation, he's known for doing this. I'm tired of this Barcia BS. Yes, rubbing is racing, but putting people on the ground can't be your only method to get by them. And that IS Barcia's only way of getting by. He only does it because he knows he's not fast enough to pass without doing it, and that's why it bothers me so much. On top of that, AC is just trying to put together a season and taking it easy, he's not a threat to anyone, he 100% would have let Barcia by, he didn't have to put AC on the ground!
AJ... stop using Chapstick and carry a little jar of Vicks Vaporub. use it all day long and the chapped lip problem will be gone. yes its nasty if you get it in your mouth, and yes even their smallest jar is bulky to carry. just have some on hand in different places so you don't have to carry it... office desk, car, bedside stand etc. you need help on this and i'm telling ya this works. note that 25 years ago they did a study to find Chapstick actually makes it worse unless you use it non stop. its a money making gimmick!
I think the barcia pass was dirty. There was no run off due to the following whoop section and Adam was kind of giving him the inside to make an easy pass
Adam cross jumps in front of Barcia and then swings wide... what did he expect was gonna happen. He coul have made a straight line for the inside and let barcia go around. Yes he is just putting in laps... but... he is a better racer than that. Just because HE isn't racing to win doesn't mean those around him aren't. Act accordingly.
Barcia takes out 1 or 2 riders every race. There's a difference between riding aggressively and riding dirty. He rides dirty and I've lost all respect for him.
For Barcia it’s just muscle memory. He has been using riders as a berm since he was a kid. AC checked up to let him pass. He didn’t even try to protect the inside. In fact he jumped to the outside to make room. That is clearly telling Barcia he has the free pass. Unfortunately Barcia couldn’t help himself (take out junkie). The dude doesn’t know how to pass cleanly. I don’t think he has ever been shown. We all know why Jason is pissed. Barcia cost him the supercross championship last year. The bonus money and the extra contract deals cost Anderson a shit load of coin. I would want to rip the dudes head off too. Anderson is no saint! AC is a angel and zero need.
