Hometown Race | 2020 Thunder Valley MX National

Round 8 of the 2020 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Outdoor MX Championship at Thunder Valley in Lakewood, Colorado. I am back again on my Husqvarna FC250 for my fifth round of the year in the 250 class and my last race of the 2020 season on the AMA Pro National circuit. It's my hometown race and I hope you enjoy riding along with me through my GoPro Hero 7 as I go through the day.

Sorry this video was almost a week late. That's it for me. Who do you think will win this weekend in California?

[@ChrisGuthrie]

Likely DF and im thinking Bam Bam might be fire this weekend but AC, Sexton, Tomac, Musquin, Baggett, and Zacho... it could literally be whoever is just feeling it. Really hope Zach brings that 450 title to VA though super cool dude

[@601braap2]

Your not the only one skipping out on the last round. I wonder why so many people are skipping it?

[@mxsmitz201]

I look forward to your videos every week man!! I’m always checking for new uploads haha Really hoping you attack the nationals again next year your right on the cusp!! They are a huge motivation, at least for me lol.

[@1doubledown186]

AC and Ferandis

[@Waylon151]

Stay with it as long as you can. When your older I promise you will never think “ man I’m sure glad I gave up sooner than I had to” stay healthy and keep hammering

[@h0cke]

Thanks for the season! If you can keep doing races every year, it will be your fondest memorys later in life :)

[@JXKEGG]

Bro you have absolutely nothing to be upset over, You're only 3-5 SECONDS off arguably the fastest top 40 riders in the world. You're not even close to slow on a Dirt Bicycle, you are a gnarly dude. Keep your head up and find those 3-5 seconds this offseason and you'll be qualifying every week. Love your content and hope to see you back out there next season!

[@BryanJames831]

I think you have two options. 1) You work more full time, please your dad and everyone that you are becoming an adult and making a living. Meanwhile every race weekend comes on and you feel down because you are not there. You then go through life wondering what could have been if you stuck it out. or 2) You hit the gym, you grind it out you get those 3 seconds on the track and you make some motos next year. Obviously money and other things are a factor as lets be honest it is incredibly hard to be a privateer but I don't want you to reach your 30's and 40's wondering what could have been. Jwalk just had his most successful season and he has been grinding it out for a bit. No one said it would be easy but just remember there are a bunch of us that would kill to be in your position with your skillset. Anyways, respect to whichever direction you go! Plus who wants to end their hard charge on a messed up covid season?

[@bradyjohnson5220]

Keep making content! Love the track builds and technique videos. I would love some more off season training days and drills you are doing.

[@larsooms7080]

Very cool to see the behind the scenes footage Tyler ! Keep up the good work. Even when you're 3sec off qualifying you are still badass on a dirtbike. Keep trying next season ! From a fan in Belgium !

[@torr-michaelbennetta9785]

Thanks for taking us on your journey

[@1doubledown186]

Well done brother , keep your head up ! Been watching all your video's this year , you're a badass rider , faster than 99% of the people that ride Moto . Don't listen to the ass hats , they're just mad they cant get outta B class . Hope to see you next year !

[@oldskoolonly]

Awesome start on the lcq man!! Keep on twisting dude 👊🏻👊🏻

[@ChrisGuthrie]

Its a pleasure watching you bro, you earned these followers

[@bigbuckjoe3]

Can’t wait for next season hope your race again good luck be safe

[@slowyamaha125]

Dude you gotta keep pushing because you are decently fast enough to qualify. I have no doubt that you could qualify for all of them but you just gotta show it. Keep pushing you got it!!! 🤘🤘

[@LukePowell932]

Don’t give up, I hope you try again next year you will qualify!

[@ethanrobinson9638]

Keep your head up man!! Love to see the vlogs and progress from week to week!

[@garrettholz5333]

That start was rad man! Thought for sure you had it. Hope you do your supercross videos again in 2021

[@andyreed4961]

Keep your head up keep pushing hard it’ll come.

[@jordanfisher2285]

For what it’s worth it was rad seeing you up front off the start 👊🏻

[@westonbujanmxvlog5799]

You make em; I’ll watch em!

[@jackswyers310]

i love your videos man keep it up!

[@onlygazza]

Well Tyler it’s been a pleasure watching you race and I know it’s been a bit disappointing for you regarding results but I don’t look at it like that, it’s the experience gained that will help you next time. I personally think you have the speed to get into all these nationals but just bad luck and maybe some different tactics might help you out next year. Just wondered when qualifying could you do less faster Laps on track to keep from getting knackered but instead try to tag onto other faster riders to learn their lines before you try the heater laps, l learnt this when I raced years ago. It’s great to see you and your family enjoying the racing cos that will stay with you forever for sure, love the vids and thanks for showing us the whole story and not just the good bits like most Mx vlogs 😎✊

[@briancurtis4042]

Very honest, Much respect🏁

[@erikjonromnes]

Awesome video, you are like right there dude, you are right on the cusp of being up with the big dogs. Maybe, you are psyching ur self out by thinking it’s a long shot, you making the cut. You have the speed, the only thing it seems that you are lacking is the “knowing” that you are “supposed” to be up front. Maybe you get into the “wow, I’m actually up front... now don’t blow it” thinking, instead of the “how far out front can I get, or “watch how fast can I catch this dude” kind of thinking. I’m only guessing, as obviously I don’t know u, and can’t read ur mind. Anyways my point is that, you are so close to making these cuts, if you really want to do this, and it looks like you have the physical skills... you can. You rock bro! It’s cool seeing someone out there with a relatable personality that doesn’t seem like a “let’s go” racing robot. Oh, one last thing... you look like Mathew Lillard, and he seems cool too.

[@_rynomotocross5277]

Keep going man! Videos are awesome

[@matthewdisciscio8854]

you are the man x

[@martinmontano7074]

You did Perty good for a Moto you tuber...

[@mikehike6894]

You shred bro! Are husqvarnas pretty reliable for you? I wanna try an FC250 but have heard about weird things breaking on them

[@ChrisGuthrie]

Jarvis is a beast no shame in getting beat by her

[@jrodfred7926]

Man I told you quit wasting your time and parents money you have no chance to qualify. Wheres all the guys that bet me he would qualify? Pay up

[@Runk3lsmcdougal]

Wtf man? Bogus comment

[@tylermonks]

Jrod Fred I seem to remember nobody cared about your bet

[@601braap2]

Tyler Monks Don’t waste your time talking to this dork who has no clue what it takes to get to the top. Nice video though!

[@trevorstolk225]

If I remember right no one gave a frick about your stupid comment anyways! If you really need the attention go somewhere else!

[@LukePowell932]

We said he was doing it for fun who cares if he qualifies or not he’s still racing with the best dudes on the planet!!
