Saying there’s nothing special about the way Eli rides is insane. His balance, feel for the bike, his creativity in the stadium and especially outdoors. The dude is different

[@zachwillden3107]

Exactly, if there isn’t anything special about his riding look at what you are saying about the other riders because he is dominant.

[@tronmcrae]

He means there's nothing special as in there's nothing different or unique in his riding style/stance that you can clearly watch.

He's just saying there is nothing special that sets him apart or gives him a advantage over everyone else. Other than his work ethic and willingness to do all the shit he needs to do to win.

[@MLW-M420]

Don't forget Eli has that other gear he can pull out of his hat mid moto that's simply on another level of performance and Eli knows how to use the whole track to his advantage when getting into lappers that simply out smarts everybody and that's Eli's on track Championship winning secrets . . . I like Sexton, Jetson and the whole top ten outdoor pro-moto guys, but Eli with his Championship ways mentioned above is always gonna be regarded as one of the Best of the Best in my old moto eyes. Power on Mr. Tomac

[@JDC129]

Can’t wait to see Eli back. I don’t care if he rolls around in last place. As long as he is charging, having fun and mixing it up, it’s a 1000 times better than his last race being the Achilles injury.

He trains alone in the high altitude his dad is a world champion. Their program is obviously something special.

[@twowheelsdown2002]

The Tomac’s have a fitness legacy. I was a dirt biker and then also took up mountain biking avidly in 1985 and was reading about John Tomac, and how John Tomac rode motocross bikes to help with mountain biking. Then the son used mountain biking to get fit for dirt bike racing. The 2 sports really cross over, and it’s cool to see them have champions in each sport.

[@onlygazza]

Eli has the belief that he can win that many others don’t have, very old school mx mentality to charge through a pack , great rider 👌

[@SuperstreetC10]

Not trying to sound like I was at the level of any of the top pros but when I would come back from injury I was always at a new level. I think it makes you appreciate it more. We will have to see but my gut is telling me Eli will be very tough to beat in 2024.

[@drewjames8594]

How many games did Bill Belichick win while playing in the league? He can still coach a little bit, no?

[@fatchance1973]

Being the best in the sport does not mean you can train or analyse or coach like the best. Look at any professional sport and you will find that the best coaches were not the best players/competitors. Name an all time great coach in any sport that was also an all time great as a competitor . That list is very small, if not non-existent. You are drawing a false equivalency in that only the best riders can either coach or analyse the best.

[@Rlobre05]

Bro, do you know anything about good coaches? Not a single one of them in any sport were the best at their trade. Being a good coach is much more complicated than being the best at what you do.

[@Rlobre05]

Also, idk how educated about the sport you think you are, but even winning one single pro race (example: Brian deegan), is an accomplishment of a lifetime. Brian will tell you how extremely hard it is to win a pro race. And he’s incredible at everything he does. I won every single local race I ever raced. Then I tried the nationals. Still did very well in A class but didn’t take long for me to realize the top guys were in an entirely different league. Think about that buddy.

[@tomballesteros4673]

This is my opinion I’ve been riding for 42 years I rode it all. Still riding and enjoy it all,, Eli eyes in his head is very resilient toward any type of high vibration and impact. He has the physical condition that allows him to react really really good under stress and high speed vibrations. As everybody get older, elbows, shoulders, knees everything can have a negative affect on you. he’s just a great rider with the born intensity!,He has what takes. he’s proving it. Look forward to seeing him do incredible at 24.

[@tracybrooks215]

I can't wait until A1 to see Eli and Jettison and the rest of the best riders in the USA and from across the pond, Sexton on a new bike, it's going to be fun!

Man, that will be great! Add C. Webb back on blue, Roczen second year with dialed in RMz and Larry Brooks behind him, Hunter on the big bikes, Mookey back on SX... hoope Ferrandis will get a good bike/team to mix it up, 2024 SX will be fantastic and I hope/wish, all will be without bad hurts this season!

It's great for supercross that Tomac is coming back for at least one more. It gives Jet the opportunity to take the throne from a legend. Don't get me wrong his outdoor season was great but just didn't have that battle feel. I don't think Tomac gets enough credit for holding off Sexton like he did.

[@lawrencefranck9417]

Yeah Jett didn’t have to hold chase a bay. He just picked up and gapped him by 10 seconds.

Love Ryno! Hate on him all you want, he’s had an incredible career that most any rider would kill to have. He’s trained many of the greats, and is still in demand by top talent for his wisdom and insight. He also gives no fucks about conventional “wisdom “ and blazes his own trail by applying his life experience, both on and off the bike. Like nearly everyone else, he’s not always right, and can sometimes be full of himself, but the moto world is much better with him in it. Thanks Ryno! Peace!

[@kevinradzinski5358]

love this. the only thing I question is "the feather in the hat." I think people forget about how many huge crashes Eli did have, and came back from. All the Eli silly seasons where he was the fastest one week then the next week? Then when you look back to the 250's, there was one race where either he or Kenny didn't make the main and then in the main whoever was in it ended up getting back of the pack finish... I think Eli is actually someone that has had bad luck racing and it's everything off the track that has helped him to bounce back. where as the stuff Kenny faced, he probably didn't have the same level of family support around him. great video

Agree. 100%, he races the track, the Competetion, and the most important, the fn POINTS. People have small memories. ELI could of won almost every round last year. BUT he went wide to NOT land on Webbs head and he ate hay bails, tuff blocks, so after that, I think he had a ( Hidden injury , most likely a concussion) so he backed it down ALOT , BUT HE was smart enough to Duke it out for the POINTS. which he would of won EASILY. , but people can't remember he is Beast mode. Wjat if he goes 100% from the gate drop, ???? He will win again , like he did in 2015 to 2019 , he will win by 40 seconds,. And he is comming to race again this year, To DOMINATE. not play with his friends. He will win 6 to 10 races. , and Jett will get hurt As will Sexton, Eli will win the championship by a landslide. Ill bet $10,000 On it now., if the book Bets were out. , hes special, and he will school Jetson , people will see why he is THE or 1 of the best of all time , 2nd in wins all time , amd he will be going after MC. not after a rookie Jett. That is a person he isn't even a little worried about. Because he knows, Jett will ride over his head, and GET HURT. , Mark it on the calendar. Jett don't make it past round 6 !!!

[@parkman8595]

Bold to say Eli doesn't do *anything* special. Webb, Ferrandis, Ciancarulo, and even the Yamaha engineers have mentioned how Eli, especially with the throttle, is unique. The Yamaha engineer said he hadn't seen anything like it during testing when Eli went to Star Racing, "full throttle, whole lap". When he hits beast mode he sends it more than any other rider I've seen. Hangtown 2015 was also reministent of Jett, the way he floats around a track. Although Eli might not be able to do that in the same way though due to his shoulders. JS7 mentioned he doesnt think Roczen can get as vertical as Jett on the bike because of his wrist injuries as well, so could be similar. 🤷‍♂️ Anyhow, gonna be a season to remember.

[@gildo101rossi]

Jett doesn’t put a lot of force through his arms, it’s mostly legs.

[@parkman8595]

@@gildo101rossi Sure, all of the new riders are using their legs a lot, but I think they rely on their arms more than you would think, as that's also AC's problem. His upper body lacking strength because of his arm. He said as much on another episode when asked what he could take from Jett's technique to improve his own riding. But you're right and in Roczen's case, I just checked the video again and JS7 was saying Kenny might not be able to get into that same upright body position that is required to ride like Jett, because of his wrists and potential lack of flexibility in that area. Edited OG comment to fix 😁

The sport is elevating, the thing is the riders need to with it. I always wondered why riders don't train in Florida in the humidity and sleep in a altitude tent. Can recover post workout/moto easily at the sea level and overnight you gain the extra capacity being in the lower oxygen environment. Its how they do flash expeditions up Everest in 2 weeks that usually take 2 months. Or do they? 🤐

A lot of riders are in Florida. Aldon's whole setup is in Florida.

@@tronmcrae yes for the humidity and good consistent riding weather. No secret why in Florida for those reasons, but training or being acclimated to a high altitude can build up red blood cells so athletes get less fatigued. Where the Hypoxic tents come into play. Also why dole believe Eli is so fit is he is a mile higher up than people in Florida. Also why some Marathon runners go to places like Peru to train then go to the event.

I think Eli being from Colorado has a lot to do with his fitness also. Yeah he cranks up the intensity training but also keep in mind he is probably doing this at an elevation of 5-8,000’ which is much harder to breathe in. So if he can be that intense at that elevation it is nothing for him to do it at or near sea level!

WATCH THE FULL PODCAST WITH RYNO! kzbin.info/www/bejne/apW6i4qdo6upsJo

[@23payday]

Eli's not cycling? 😂

[@534Vizuals]

He sounds like he wants to be an Eli hater so bad but just can’t 😂

[@ericlee2592]

Ryan is the most insightful coach/rider/commentator in our sport - PERIOD

[@twotwentyswift]

🤣

[@KolePennington]

I don’t often disagree with Ryno…. But man I disagree Eli is gifted on a bike and soon people won’t question it. ET3……. !!!

[@theexisting1514]

kinda funny that he said jetts not passing people by doing quads when thats how he got kenny

[@GYPSYTALES]

This was filmed before LA

[@theexisting1514]

@@GYPSYTALES oh for sure. kind of ironic then lol

[@430mx]

He does what he is supposed to do BUT he has plenty special. He finds flows that no one else will ever see. Tell me who else drops their lap time by 4-6 seconds in the last 15 minutes of every Moto? Track gets rougher and he only gets faster while other riders lap times are slower. Jett is obviously in his domain but two different kinds of riding styles. We have seen both work.

[@cademorris3304]

He has bigger balls than everyone else

[@StandlyRichards25]

I’m so tired of hearing this guy. He’s always got an answer. Hella cocky for someone most people have never heard of

[@louisfarone]

Most older mx fan certainly know who he is

[@toad3978]

If you don't know who Ryan Hughes is, you must be new to the sport.

[@twotwentyswift]

We don't remember any wins just tantrums and weak ass fights after the races.@@louisfarone

[@chrisvozza6530]

Lol frail little wafers. Gotta remember that one. But so true. He has the stamina from being in the high altitude

[@twotwentyswift]

If it was just altitude everyone would be doing it. Having John and Kathy Tomac's genetics has a lot more to do with it.

[@importzz]

what a kook this guy

[@DragnBarZ]

i like the film idea but eli’s main problem has always been getting in his own head, idk if a film crew would be the greatest idea

[@JDub-vd3fc]

motocross isn't about fitness anymore..???

[@alexsimpson4346]

Sextons done - Jetts unproven on 450 supercross but it’s going to be jett eli hunter majority of podiums I think - sexton rides right on the edge of his ability to keep up with these guys and it shows good thing he has good bones or he’d be completely fucked by now
