A JLaw podcast would break the internet 💁

[@jeyloureiro]

totally completely entirely absolutely... astonishingly! We want it

I wanna hear it from the horses mouth

[@korryjones7371]

Fuckin agreed dude.

COULD YOU IMAGINE THE PODCAST OF JASON LAWRENCES LIFE!!! NEED AT LEAST 10 HRS OF STORIES!

[@MichaelAMyers1957]

Why ? Most the stories will be fabricated an full of sht.

[@mojodirt33]

He's a very talented punk, pure and simple had the talent but zero appreciation or discipline. Let it go

[@MichaelAMyers1957]

They hang on that junkies nuts like he’s god or something. He won 1 250 title which don’t mean sht. 250SX title is the lowest form of title in moto / supercross there is. winning one against a half ass depleted 250 field don’t mean anything .

[@derickchristensen3219]

I agree 100%. He always came off as a self centered entitled little shit.

[@rickvonderchek6898]

I remember when Jlaw rode Suzuki in the b class . When they did split gates at Dutchman with the a and b start he would pass all the a riders it was funny they were pissed

[@user-ui2ef3le2s]

[@DavidSilvestri-j8l]

J-Law was an idiot! A classic example of how not to act. He had great speed and ability, and threw it all away by his actions. I won't be watching

[@MichaelAMyers1957]

How about making it somehow a pay per view podcast that he can get some money for it. I am more than sure most of us would pay some good coin to hear his story

[@arthurbax3477]

Duuude this is pretty sick idea

[@MrHabitat009]

Great idea man!!!

[@jessemccollum937]

I’d pay 5 or 10 bucks to hear it from JLaw

[@user-wy4ld]

Like patreon?

[@halseyknox]

Jason as fantastic of a rider he was blew it....plain and simple. If your going to be a professional you have to be a professional. Look at Barcia...looked at by some as a outlaw but still knows how to be a professional and knows to appreciate the gift he has as a rider and not to take it for granted. Bob Hannah is another example who knew where to draw the line from being outspoken and a rebel ( an asshole in some people opinion) but respecting the opportunities presented to him. It also helps to be surrounded by people to keep you grounded and save you from yourself. There have been countless riders of past and present that have gone down the same path and wasted their talent and took for granted the small window of opportunity to become the multi championship winning riders they were capable of being.....Marty Tripes, Bob Grossi, Rich Eirsteidt, Kenny Zahrt, Danny Chandler, Ron Lechien, Mickey Dymond, ect. Grant you some of the riders were a product of the era but guys like Marty Smith Brad Lackey, Gary Jones had the right people, wife's and parents around them to keep them on the right track and provide proper guidance and support.. If you were part of Jason Lawrence's camp at the time and now sit and make excuses for him then you to were not able or willing to take him aside and set him straight and are missing the point. 3:04

[@motosaki404]

him not making a reappearance in some capacity and capitalizing on how much ppl wanna hear from him is even stupider than his earlier antics. he is blowing a real big opportunity. there is demand. i dont know exactly what it would be that he could do, but a good marketing guru could make that fool rich again solely from his lore. this will end up being his 2nd biggest regret when he gets real old and realizes that finally noone gives a shit to even hear his story anymore

[@se11459]

Like you said, what can he do? He could write a book to make some $’s. Nothing else I can think of for money though. He does one tell-all podcast and that’s it, the mystery is over. No-one is going to put him on the payroll. I just want to know what the hell he is doing for income.

[@jordanonofer3886]

Im not gonna give praise because he could do something hungover etc.. what im gonna say is he was very fast. Had it all. Couldve won championships and basically pissed it away. Its ashame more than anything. Had he chilled out. Who knows how history books could look

[@Cramsey-ib8rv]

You need to get Mike Brown on. He is one of the nicest dudes out there

[@jonruger]

Him and all those dudes from back than wasted amazing opportunities it was 100% on them they made the choices and burned the bridges they chose drugs over a real career. I’m sorry but I don’t not feel bad for any of them it was their own fault. I know people who helped buy him some Yamahas a few years back he was supposed to make a come back and race he just stole the bikes and sold them.

[@motosaki404]

hahaha I sure hope this is true. gangster

[@Jake_Hamlin]

You missed the point. The career wouldve been smoother and more likely to last if the commentary/media didn't milk JLaw's mistakes as much as they could. Its a downward spiral when the media is constantly reinforcing the worst. or as mentioned in the clip from J Hill's personal experience, the media can cause a downward spiral when they start to assume the worst, and write false statements as fact.

[@jonruger]

@@Jake_Hamlin no man meth caused his downfall and nothing more no one had more chances and opportunities than JLaw he choose meth.

[@jonruger]

@@Jake_Hamlin the media rightly so was on his ass because he was a fuck up constantly in trouble. And eventually it cost him a career because no brand was willing to put their name behind him anymore. This sport is largely about kids so having a guy like that appeals to no parents because he is not a role model Dungey and Villo were just as good as him but they were both role models and good people. With anything in life if you are problematic people will always choose the person who is not. Say if you owned a company and needed to hire someone and had two candidates with equal skills but one is violent and has an addiction issue so they won’t always show up. But the other is very easy to work with and never misses a day of work which will you choose??? That’s RV/RD to JLaw and why guys like him never last in any sport or profession.

[@jordanemede]

​@@jonrugerhow do you know he chose meth? Did you hear that or do you KNOW that first hand?

[@shanecoopershow]

When Jason was at his peak he had a style on the bike as if not more steezy than Josh Grant. One of the most entertaining riders/personalities to ever come into the sport🤘

[@HelixNebuIa]

JLaw is like a mythical creature

[@quintinlindsey7967]

I will never forget the J Law and Vilipoto fight at Hangtown, I was rolling how that went down.

[@jordanemede]

In 2006 i hung out with J Law the week before Red Bud, we were up at Kelly Smith's house with Josh Hansen and Hanny bought a short bus from some church and we spray painted it camo and drove it to Red Bud. As a 16 yr old A rider i felt like the coolest mf on the plane. Hanny would give us pointers on picking up girls everywhere we stopped he was spitting game 😂 ill remember that forever! ✊

[@travistweedle9674]

I loved watching his story unfold even if it did spiral a bit. I hope nothing but the best for him.

[@derickchristensen3219]

Hopefully Jason does the podcast and tells his pathetic story. Cant wait for all the excuses and how the world was out to destroy him. Jason was his own worst enemy, good rider, awful human being.

Ron Lechien was like that in the 80's, that dude could party all night, miss practice, then go out and kick ass in the race, of course it finally caught up with him but damn he had all the talent in the world

[@joeyharrell9817]

I always loved J Law and The Dogger before him! I wish we would have had the opportunity to see them live up to their full potential. I pray they are both doing well now!

[@halseyknox]

The difference between Ron Lechien and Lawrence is that even though both had drug problems that ruined their career Ron was not a punk ass thug.

[@JacobMaga-k9c]

clicky baity

[@sludge86]

I just wasted 12 mins. How can two guys talk about nothing for 12 minutes? We only really care about JLaw today, not the past. JLaw is mentally broken and couldn’t last more than 5-10 minutes and then start looking around with that crazy look saying “No leave me alone” to the voices.

[@chadkennedy529]

It's over man... he's in his 30's he's just chillin.

[@JKeenan-v5i]

What could J Law have done if he was the son of Dazza Lawrence ?

[@kukko83]

"Iconic"?? Because he could party, be a bad boy, and still ride (for a while)? Not my definition of an icon. I don't know anything about the person or his life, but I do remember him pissing his career away with his childish antics. What I don't remember, was him having as many fans as this comment section suggests. I guess over time these kinds of dudes turn into "icons", no matter how bad they crashed and burned. If there's a story to be heard, it would best serve it's purpose as a cautionary one.

[@jamesonclark8306]

God dammit Chase click baited us again. This is the last one of these I will watch. Why tease asking him about the race he was going to do and then have a 12 minute clip without showing it? 👎🏽

J-Law grew up around my coworker and he use to come over to his track that was in his back yard to practice and rip with his son and him. My coworker said he would come up with these new lines and jump sections that he would have never known were possible. He rode there a few times after his championship and after alot of the altercations he stopped. He later started to come and try sone of the off road races that were local to him. I remember he got kicked out of one bc he got mouthy with the crew. I believe he was leading the AA class too with no hand guards.

Problem is Jason couldn't beat rv. Yes I believe he could have been better then Dungey but he knew he couldn't beat rv.

Certainly a place for the bad boys (heels) of the sport. However, this is a family sport and most of the guys who’ve followed this path are significantly unreliable and everyone who jumps at the chance to pay for a full ride for these guys when the heels don’t even show up for day one, deserves what they get.

[@Jake_Hamlin]

He wasnt just a bad boy, he was fast, capable of winning even if he turned up 5mins before the race and didnt sleep the night before. Saying he should be kicked/banned because it's a family sport is a joke... The nature of MX or SX is crashing, broken bones and ambulance rides. Realistically if the media/commentary didnt milk everything JLaw did for all the drama they could get, noone watching wouldve even known about it.
