Anyone else just watch Hunter Lawrence wrap up the motocross 450 championship?

Crazy first moto… the Lawrence brothers are an unstoppable duo.

I hope my favorite rider, Eli Tomac, comes back for one more year.

Just finished. I recorded it.

Both motos were different than the rest of the year. Even danger boy was a surprise in the second.

I like Tomac but I would be pleasantly surprised if he comes back to Mx. Now Sx I give a better chance.

I was wondering why someone started a thread about a 1980s nuclear missile...

Oh snap! I apologize for the spoiler then…

Yeah, I see Eli going to super also. I'm not a huge KTM fan (I'm a CRF guy) but I didn't mind seeing Big Orange as much with Eli on one. (My anti-KTM bias comes from Dakar jealousy more than anything really…)

I'm actually interested in what the Ducati 450's could really do in the hands of better/elite riders.

I hope Jett can recover fully from his injuries. Would like to have seen Prado finish 3rd ahead of deegan in the overall.

Nice tagline at the bottom…Gulag Archipelago should be required reading for all Americans in my opinion

100% and wish Trump would read it…..I would extend that to the world though Ukraine, Poland, CR, a couple others have experienced it.

I was suppose to go to the MX Houston on January 31st with my best friend and his father. His father is a world champion supercross, superbike, and motocross winner and in the hall of fame, so we were going to be guest of honor.

He passed two weeks before the event.

I have been track riding for 10 years with the aspiration of being as fast as that man was. The sport will always have a very special place in my heart.

My tattoo artist is Tiffer Wright who also raced professionally.

Tomac announces retirement. Rooted against him for many years when I was a Dungey fan, but glad he finished with KTM. Cheers ET3.

Breaking! Eli Tomac Announces Retirement after SMX! What a hell of a ride it’s been, ET3 for Life!

I'm picking Bob "Hurricane" Hannah to win this year's championship…..

CRF rider here as well

Hunter and Jett have been a blast to watch. Jett definitely belongs in the "GOAT" conversation in my opinion. I think Deegan will make things interesting going forward, Cole Davies also seems to be the real deal.

Well…I kinda figured we were watching his last motos but hoped against it.

Years ago, when I was heavily into mountain biking too, his Dad John was my absolute favorite rider. When his son started MX, the fandom just kinda rolled over to Eli.

Sorry to hear that.

Jett out for SMX.

Probably a good call.

So all the internet rumors that he let his brother win can be put to rest. He certainly seemed to me liked he was riding "tender" during the last race and simply trying to tough it out.

His injury that he was riding with may end his career. And we will miss him.
