James, I really hope we get you in the booth as often as possible (or often as you want). You are an absolute legend in this sport, and now I suspect a legend in the booth. Thank you for coming back into the sport post retirement, I think I speak for many, its great having you back!
Couldn't agree more!! JS does the best breakdowns and analysis during the races!! He gives us all the technical talk I want to hear but also cracks me tf up at the same time! He's pure gold in the booth ✌️
you can tell how much jason respects what your saying just by how he sets up his questions while talking about a topic. best two in the booth probably ever. truly
@@wardee549 I have to agree. I'm officially tired of Ricky Carmichael. James is Awesome. Knowledgeable for the experienced fan, Entertaining and gives us his Unqualified Opinion. It's pure joy listening to James.
Jason respects the heck out of Carmichael I think he just knows their styles and Stewart does a little better with the “hypothetical” questions whereas it seems Ricky only likes to speak from personal experience. I love both. We are spoiled to have either one of them still involved in the sport !
Not being mean to your boy Ricky. One of the greatest to ever do it.....But not in the booth. You and Jason have great chemistry and FLOW with each other. The voice and commentary matter when watching it on Tv. I loved Jason and Langston. You knew.... you were watching Pro Motocross when you heard them talking. And with you and Jason....that feeling is back.
Lol you can't be serious !!! RC gets excited, calls out lines and passes way before they happen and his jackets are always on point. James doesn't get near as excited and just seems more dull and boring and monotone calling the races... In the booth they are almost the exact opposite as they was on the track !!!
That be awesome but damn that’s a long year spending all that weekend time on the road. I think we get a good amount of James for the year plus the RU-vid show
@@chrisp.bacon_exe3956that's so true! I want him to be at all the races he wants to be at for sure tho! Bc RC is the 🐐 of moto, but def not of the commentary booth 🤣 JS and Weege are just awesome together ✌️
@@lukebryant5017 absolutely. It was such a treat to see. Chase desperately needed that and now I think it’s safe to say he’s in the fight. I think now we’ll get some Jett / Chase battles which will be legendary.
This podcast never disappoints, stopping everything and getting locked in doesn’t happen very often when watching a podcast but you have something special just like when I used to watch you ride your PW & KX60 doing it better than anyone else ❤🙏🗽
@@cutndry4165hell yeah dude AC would be awesome in the booth! After seeing Dungey on the Gypsy Tales pod I think he would be a great commentator as well. I still miss Daniel Blair on the broadcasts too, he was great
It has been a while since I jumped up in my living room over a race. Was a great weekend. I hope Jett isnt to hurt because we need to see if this changes anything between them. Also shout out to J Coop putting in good motos.
That was a cool ride by chase. Looked like he did when him and eli destroyed the field 2 yrs ago. The kid is fast af. Imo he brought his mental game this last weekend. That version of chase has proven very difficult to beat no matter who hes racing. It will be really cool to see if he can carry this attitude into the rest of the races. If he does, it'll get interesting with him and jett. This verision of chase can beat jett heads up.
I agree. In 2022 outdoors, Chase had the best handling bike and was an absolute weapon every single moto. We haven’t really seen that version of him outdoors in two years now. I somewhat disagree with JS7 on if Chase has more speed. I think the KTM can be dialed to an extent that going the pace he did last weekend is much smoother. His speed on Honda looked effortless. He will get there with KTM, but it’s going to take time.
@codywright1446 good points man. I agree his Honda was just dialed in. He'll get his KTM looking smooth as well. That's probably not a good thing for the rest of the field though haha. But will be really cool to see
@@codywright1446 Chase is already faster on the KTM than he was on the Honda , the KTM just doesn't look like it's going as fast because of it's steel frame soaking up bumps in a different manner than aluminum frames do .
I heard you give a new reference to GOING BEAST MODE You said RIDING BLACKED OUT 😂 Just like you did at BUDDS CREEK 1997 worst to first when you also unleashed the BUBBA SCRUB I was literally like 25 feet away from one of the jumps there and saw you flat lining your bike just 6" to 8" over the peak of that jump 😳 at the time I couldn't believe what I was witnessing for the very first time done ! You most definitely changed the sport and glad I was there to see it done in person 👏👍
I was also @ Budds witnessing the future of the sport, only we really didn't know it yet. Now we are lucky enough to have the simplicity along with the complexity that JS brings with him. He was always all in with moto/sx. What a treat for the fans, and what a great ambassador for these events. Thanks James, and thanks pfwarrior for bringing this up.
Back, in #1998, I raced #LakeWhitney. When, 1st moto happened, was involved in a pile up , last to get up. Then, same lap ragdolled in front everyone in a sweeper . Was 40++ back in time. Too, only think about practice mode. Finished 13th / 40 and " lost a grip " within 5 laps! Seconds faster than everyone, just battle the challenge!!! 🤘🍻🇺🇲👽👽👽
In regards of listening to your comments on Jetts accident, so bloody spot on I think everything you said made so much sense 👌. So great to hear your way of thinking in such circumstances it's very eye opening experience thanks James you da man mate, keep up your wonderful thoughts and insights on this sport. Fantastic comments whilst you're in the press box with Weeg
I was wondering if someone was going to mention the bump in front of the takeoff being bigger and causing the compression issue. On the title show DC mentioned they changed the track. If so then why did Jett not realize this and not try jumping it especially after a sight lap. This is a bit confusing, but makes me wonder why he/Jett did not realize it. He's usually pretty sharp!
I love the info about bike setup, helps me out for how i should be experimenting with my suspension. Ive looked up alot of tips for setup and you broke it down very well. Thanks JS7
Bubba and Jason Thomas are a good team. Keep that going. They bring the dialogue we want to hear during the race. RC is the GOAT but he's not good in the booth.
Never knew that what the broadcast needed was your viewpoint. The way you explain and break it down is amazing and that’s why you need to be on the broadcast every damn week.
James, you blew by me at toronto supercross. I walked by you and yelled, you ready to make history? You blew me off. Still ny favorite man, that 2 3 3 4 3 was insane
This insight is amazing. You can't be a Stew without being Stew. Glad to see Sexton come full circle. It is complete and I'm here for it to see where it goes next.
Hi js7 you said at washougal 2023 haiden deegan had baby!!!well you have proven correct.deegan can sure ride.super talent.very fit and strong.not frightenend to lay it all out on the track.has sheer desire.determinaton .that will win.one tough cookie too.who does he remind you off?????
This is a Rocky 4 moment for Chase! Jett seemed like a monster that just can’t lose! Then it happened “ HE’S CUT!” After that crash for Jett he seemed normal and can be beat. Chase needs to put more pressure on Jett and win big in Colorado!
I love that Bubba is talking about Jett from a point that he lived. Outcast, fastest ever. See how pissed off Jett was after crashing. Same pissed off James was.
I think Jett had hom covered, we will never know but I think Jett going down gabe hom the conference, I do think Chsse will win Thunder vally though because Jett isnt likely to be 100%. Buy when Jett gets back to 100 % it will be business as usual and Jett will go back to winning!
No one was stopping chase in the second moto, I actually believe he would’ve got around Jett. He was gaining like 4sec a lap over halfway through the moto lol
Chase is praying every night. Jett is living rent free in chases head. Should woulda coulda. Chase hasn't passed, Jett not hurt.. Don't think he will ever once Jett is 100.
I feel like Honda should give James some $ for figuring out what's wrong with their suspension setup....fricken nailed it...sees stuff and explains it like nobody else can... Of course love and James in the booth as well... She needs to be there full-time for both series
Last to first, very few people have ever been able to do it. Brad Hurst did it at a TT national, fell on the first lap got up and passed everyone to win, that was the only other time I saw it happen at a national of any kind.
Jett is so fast, so smooth, and so confident which makes him incredible 99% of the time..... but he also has some JS7 size brass balls, and his willingness to hit crazy jumps and rhythms leads to that 1% of HOLY 💩 moments when he crashes 😂
I thought Chase needed to hang it out when MX started and he certainly delivered. Honda and KTM are still a bit off but I think Chase is a bit more comfortable than the Lawrence bros. I have to give props to JCoop for digging. Hope he keeps it going all summer. Great show!
Man, I was at the race and was on the phone with my son, and I looked up, and James was going into the TV booth. I couldn't believe my son called me and distracted me at that very moment, lol. I thought about knocking on the door to see if they'd open it lol.
Great insight again, I can understand different tracks affect bike setup week to week, so good info from one of the best at it, appreciate that break down. I don't know how I feel about the track change, that's an asterisk for me, not re the results, but just because one person can do something and others cant I'm not a fan of wiping or changing a section! I listened to T24 and DC explanation, as a track builder and built many trails and tracks, nature and features man built have a way of managing the risk if its built right, usually for me its peripheral things on the side of the track or around the tracks that are most dangerous and over looked. Life is about those that can and those the can do something, you don't change that unless its truly unsafe! Trust the process and skills of the riders to make the right decision for them. Otherwise we might as well all just play tidily winks! My understanding is track was worked on for weeks, it must have been approved before the round started, now if somethings dangerous because of multiple crashes or injury, that's one thing! But it seems one week, we don't have sections managed properly by personal and injuries occurred that had season and rider safety outcomes! Yet next week no injury on one section and until a team raises it, then something is done, so it cant have been something that stood out as a major risk factor to safety, because others weren't even going to attempt it! No excuse, but I disagree with the changes myself, the track was awesome, but the changes again created another topic of controversy and injury! You yourself James were the ultimate risk taker, its part of the sport, championships throughout history have been lost by brain explosions and a bad misjudgment at critical times! Its part of the sport, another reason that I don't think the track should have been changed. Anyways JMO, I know they probably think they cant win, one way or the other re decisions on this stuff, but its pretty clear, first week was bad management re personal, plain and simple, no excuses for that. This week to me an unnecessary track change! This is not about Chase or Jett, as soon as I heard that, I thought wth! This is an extreme sport its meant to be extreme, sometimes extreme means game changing techniques, like you bought to the sport, no one could or can scrub even today like you, what if they banned that during your time racing, to me that's what it equates to, they are already screwing up the whoops in SX, what's next!
🤣 RC, Reedy, K Dub, and all those guys couldn't break the focus and concentration of JS, but let the kids pop in right in the middle of a pod and JS looking lost and confused!! Lol, im glad u left that in the pod, that was too funny ✌️
Js7 1st moto thunder valley 250 was amazing Desire .determination.that sheer will to win and thats haiden deegan.riding maturely in 2nd moto...haiden has lots lots talent and tough as nails
I think Jet said they had a bike change he forgot about ? Musta been the rebound. He runs alot of rebound thats how he hippity hops over everything. Faster you go the less rebound you need. Still think his excessive rebound is wild.
@ 43:34 everyone and everything just messing wjth JS this ep! 🤣🤣🤣 That frustrated look on his face was too funny, lol he still kept it 100% professional tho
Vialle hates Deegs you can see the disdain in Vialle's eyes when Deegs speaks. He bottles it up and releases it on the track. He uses that hate for motivation. 90's style. They both have the confidence, going to be epic when they do finally meet up and battle it out on the track.
Jetts ego got the best of him and he was out to prove he is the best and tried to do it on the first lap. I bet he doesn't ever try that again but its going to be awesome to see how he comes back from this. He just made the 450 class worth watching again. Deegs for the championship and i don't think Tom coming up 3 seconds back was the reason why he did his front end handlebar induced 360 helicopter imitation. He was 4 feet to the right of his normal line he was taking and when he leand left to get to the outside he hit a kicker. Great analysis JS7 I've been waiting since Saturday for your take. Great Job in the both also thank you.
I don’t think it was ego. I was watching the Title 24 pod, and they said something about cutting that jump because it was unsafe, and a lot of teams agreed. I may have misunderstood, but I think the face of that jump was actually different than what Jett expected. Which is why he came up so short, a different takeoff..
@@marmaleg5309 yeah i am confised by this lart. As for ego, all riders have it. James was the master of doing shit that nobody else would do and people loved him for it, but for some reason when Jett does it, it's the opposite social media maybe
Hard to put it up there with the greatest rides of all time when he ain’t beat none of the greatest of all time straight up, if jett was 100% I’d put it up there, who else is really a all timer?
You make a great point on jett jumping that, I'm not the biggest Lawrence fan, but had jett made that jump he would have mentally demoralized all the competition. Maybe another perfect season?
