2023 SMX Insider Post Race: Round #10 Budds Creek

[@GucciMik]

This is great content for us aussies who don’t get to see this. Lucky to see the races and that’s all really

[@buck_maize111]

Damn it was tense! Especially that last lap with jett and chase

[@JamieJohnson-vg4dm]

I will take the red head 😲 😱 🔥

[@chrisdavis8798]

I got the assumption when they combined SX/MX to one big series so if thats the case .... There shouldve been a stagered start like in sx they were almost halfway done so my question is how is two different rules for a series that they say is now combined as one entity so why two different rules just sounded and looked wrong ....i could be wrong about this just thought id ask

[@dekancaine]

They wasn’t half way. That’s how the rule reads.

[@buzzygermony2745]

The camera on Phil's bike SUCKED!

[@katelyntuohyfans]

Haiden was annihilating everyone like Washougal, AMA had to stop him themselves to save everyone from humilation.

[@itsturboo5234]

fr man he had that win a couple laps in

[@katelyntuohyfans]

@@itsturboo5234 that launch to the triple to pass shimoda again after they bump tires was already a preview that he was gonna full send again AMA would not let it happen again 🤡

[@paulnotdownunder3172]

Yeah, hes the deeges!!! Fk everyone else!!

[@Mtnbiker110]

He had the first moto win but it’s fault he crashed on the 2nd holeshot

Also, if HL wins next week it would be thw first time brothers have won the ama championships in the same year. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@joelmatthews5697]

They already have tho. Both won SX.

[@onthethrottle7104]

A huge shout out to the Lawrence Brothers!! Jett is great on the 450 but there is something super special about Hunter and mark my words, he's going to be just as good as Jett once he gets settled in on a 450. We are in for amazing racing with the best of all time brother team. Way to go Australia. They always pump out great riders. Much respect to the most friendly country with great people.

[@rogerw3818]

Hunter Lawrence has responded to adversity quite well. Haiden Deegan has responded to adversity... not so well. Jett Lawrence seems to be completely oblivious to pressure. Chase Sexton realizes that Jett Lawrence is pressure personified.

[@craighelgerson2698]

JL reminds me of ETs run on his Honda...prior to his body slamming in Colorado... We see young men come into this class without full respect for the brutal forces of those powerful engines. A seasoned line of 450 riders all have a fearful stare. I don't see it with JL...yet. Sure love to see him ride, though!

[@williamharris7357]

Did Jet go back to the paddle tire for the second Moto?

[@sstanton97]

in post race press conference i think he said he stuck w the knobby and everyone else switched to knobbies for moto 2

[@Slayeranon]

20/0 ✈️

[@chrisvillarreal2752]

Deegan just had to relax stay focused and crush everyone but his desperation at the start to get back to where he was, was his biggest mistake after that with Budds gnarly conditions it’s was a lost cause at that point.

[@kimcrews1721]

Deegan needs to keep his head straight and focus. Yes he's a rookie doing great things and I know he wants to go balls to the walls but sending it like he did after the restart causing his wreck just shows he still has alot to learn. Consistency and speed wins races. He doesn't need to try and prove a point every weekend. His form looks a little sloppy at times.

[@chrisvillarreal2752]

@@kimcrews1721 💯 you could easily see he had it in the bag on the second start too but that spilt moment of desperation ruined it and sent him on a tantrum worse then the one he was already on. But hey hopefully it’s a learning experience and he can grow from it instead of being bitter.

[@michaelknabusch6011]

After chases interview ricky dropped an Eminem line lol “one shot one opportunity”

[@glennmyers3580]

The rules state that if the red flag is before 60% then the race is restarted from the beginning. It should have been a restart of 30+2, not 15+2. The AMA screwed the guys up front.

[@B-Rad412]

How come you never do an interview with Rob buydos he's a legend🥇🥇

[@remotecontrol9874]

I like how Barcia fakes drinking out of an empty Redbullshite can.

[@IVJmes]

No opinion from rc or weege on this being one of the first red flags 15 min through a moto. Let’s get Fowler facts to do some research bc that was wild to see

[@JunixKuizon]

Theres nothing to say because it was the right call.

[@IVJmes]

Is this the first year Feld has sponsored/supported the nationals? 🤔

[@IVJmes]

@@JunixKuizon rc replied to an instagram comment and said no comment it’s not his rodeo. If making big money with the addition of playoffs and all this craziness comes to the detriment of authenticity this sport will go to shit. Keep it raw and speak your mind.

[@paralna7755]

Exactly, Interviews that aren't scripted like the Gypsy Tales interview Deegs come's across as a great kid , Most of the hate is for the over the top fans of his The trouble with hyping the trash talk about pressure means it's on Deegan's mind as well, Bad move Brian@@leonardwashington710

[@f1ftyone]

That onboard camera they kept cutting to was super annoying. The angle sucked, who wants to see the sky and a rider's chest and helmet for 30 seconds straight. There's gotta be at least 5 better angles you could place the camera in.

[@channel1_channel]

100%...that was pathetic in many ways for a professional production.

[@onthethrottle7104]

Totally agree - what a waste of time and effort. Meanwhile a great race is taking place and we are watching a rider flail around, so stupid.

[@jakehenryIOM]

Looks like chase hit neutral on the last race crash

[@jdc8352]

I'm not one of the Deegan nutRiders but ya'll screwed him hard in moto 1. Total fail

[@remotecontrol9874]

Sure turning with both feet on the pegs is faster, but notice when riders crash in turns It's because their leg is not out.

[@MrSaul04]

That crowd chanting USA when Hunter took his podium speech was a disgusting taste!

[@Simon-Simon-Simon]

Have to give it to HUNTER THE KAWI VS YAMAHA war in 250 he kept out of it DEEGAN had some bad luck and starts

[@onthethrottle7104]

Is there anyone else that thinks Ricky needs to go be a rider coach and let James in the booth 100% of the time? Ricky just mangles the English language and he's not cut out for announcing. James is a natural. Also, who else feels it was stupid to have Filthy Phil camera angle? What's the big deal showing a rider flailing around? We tune in to see the race, not a rider flailing around. The coverage this last weekend was super horrible. Even when they had an out and out battle up front they go to a 'drone' shot of 4th and 5th place and it was so far away you really couldn't see what was happening. Then they go to the "battle box" and you can't see anything especially the drone shot because it's too small. They need to figure out better coverage, they have done a good job in the past but they seem to be getting worse and not better. First off, get rid of the drone...or at least limit the drone footage. It's too far away to really see rider action. They have super expensive cameras out there at every corner to catch the action and stitch it together but they go to a drone that's too far way and has 480K footage. Ugh.

[@justindancer6613]

Chase crashes every weekend send him back down to the minors

[@onthethrottle7104]

Even with the crashes though he still beats all the other guys 🤣Jett is on another planet and he's just so smooth and fast...Chase is out of answers.

[@CassieCrawford-qc8yu]

We love Ricky, but he needs to brush up on some of his English

[@jimgoose9146]

Youve been workin with ricky too long weigandt.. its jett not hunter in the 450s🤣

[@maverick2242]

Incorrect Wedge, Yamaha won all National pro titles in 1978, yes there wasn't 5 titles, but they won all titles, Hannah SX title the only SX title rhe toughest eras, All racers raced the one class, no give me titles, Glover 125cc outdoors, Hannah 250 outdoors and Burgett 500cc title, all these imo even tougher than today, 2 strokes , tracks were narly bikes broke, weren't reliable like todays 4t stroke soft era, harder to win a 125 than a 250 4t title imo, then there was the 500s. So it has been done and done when it was much harder to do, more teams more manufactures more riders and more fans more tracks. Not taking anything away from Honda but the fact that 4 of the 5 titles will be won by the Lawrence brothers also imo means its as much to do with them them than just the brand. You have no future if you don't know your past!!!

[@Skamala1]

Would have won...

[@katelyntuohyfans]

Right, Deegan would have won if AMA didn't stop him. Even Jett could not stop that kid, Haiden was 2 seconds faster than Jett. 1:56 on a smoked ran-over bike? Nasty kid.

[@cutndry4165]

@@katelyntuohyfans TO redo a gate atart 15 mins in, is BULLSHIT. A staggered start was the only way it would've been fair.

[@webrappin3314]

Yes rj I think so too .get on that foe fiddy son .

[@GundamAeroMx5]

Total BS making them restart like that vs a proper staggered start. They screwed that kid. Hate to see it.

Can’t wait to see you on the 450.

i never seen a pro like chase sexton crash every moto very sad to see that very good rider CHASE SEXTON LETS GO MORE RACES ARE COMING YOU CAN DO IT Let's GOOOOOOOO

[@roosdad1]

F AMA!

[@robbieanderson649]

They really need to do something about the restarts after a red flag. How can you tell the guy leading 2nd by 9 seconds that his determination was all for nothing. That red flag restart made me not want to watch motorcross again.

[@MikeBurney9282]

For real that 15 minute break was crazy.

[@B-Rad412]

Maybe they should do a restarts by giving Deegan a 9-second lead and so forth🤷🤔

[@joelmatthews5697]

They were all 15 minutes in and they all had to do the same restart. You could say Deegan had it easier because h wasn’t in any battles and was full of confidence. It’s a shame he’s a squid.

[@GucciMik]

It’s just the rules haha. If it went another 35 seconds it’s race over or a staggered start I believe

[@PeterReefman]

Not only that, but did you know the AMA rules actually say if an American rider called Deegan is leading the race at the time of red flag, the race need to start again and that Deegan rider needs to send-it Kamakazi at the first turn of the restart, and that if an Australian is leading they immediately give the overall win to them? Look it up. That rule's been the same for 30 years.

[@glennmyers3580]

We don't have playoffs in our sport. We go by points, not wins. The ignorance of the wordings and names chosen are overwhelming.

[@glennmyers3580]

The AMA seen Deegan was to far out front, so they screwed him. The AMA is just as bad as the FIM was.

[@PeterReefman]

hahaha yes this! The AMERICAN Motorcycle Association obviously hates seeing AMERICAN riders in front and will (obviously) do anything to stop that! ...I also hear they're planning to put power restrictors onto all the US MXON bikes to make sure the USA doesn't win.

[@jakethesnake4978]

Listening to Ricky makes me angry. I had to mute the race. Js7 please

[@onthethrottle7104]

Amen!!!!!!!! Let Ricky coach riders, let James in the booth!!!

[@toad3978]

The red flag could of been avoided. I'm not sure if they over reacted or what exactly they were thinking? Either way, it was a poor decision to stop the race.

[@blakefowler21]

Screw the AMA "guideline book". Staggered starts are a must. This is the only racing event where they do a full gate drop on a restart. Absolutely ridiculous.

[@ralph04ification]

Australia is the same up to 50% of race distance, over 50% they call the race to the leader.
