Jason Lawrence at the Ironman GNCC

We caught up with Jason Lawrence ahead of the Ironman GNCC.

[@kings17court]

"I filled my tank twice, and it's half full." "I'll probably just kiss ass around here until I land something." Two things are for sure ... JLaw can ride, and dude has a sense of humor.

[@quintinlindsey7967]

That dude had soooo much raw talent! It will definitely be nice to see him riding again!!!

[@cgsoutdoors_professor3883]

Appreciate how candid he is

[@donpetryna4356]

That was a great interview. He is hilarious and telling it like it is.

[@darkmean65]

He passed me and I was going pretty good and tried for shits and giggles to hang with him and I finally thought damn he’s hauling ass there ain’t no way😂,he was definitely moving

[@chrisbracken7889]

JLaw ! So glad you race GNCC ironman. I've always been a fan & may have never seen you ride otherwise.

[@Mac_Simiser]

Good to see you back Jason. One of kind that does what you see fit. Just shake your head at the know it alls in life and on Vital who seem to think they know what's best for you. Welcome back.

[@rob924egan2]

What a personality! Glad to have you back amongst us.

[@throttaltherory]

Wow... always hoped he would come back... to hear him still not taking riding seriously with all his talent is sad. Could have been one of the greatest!!!

[@ThatGuyTube]

He's 36 years old dude, he's hardly going to start getting serious about riding at his age

[@somethingelse4846]

He's 35 his time is long past he taking it seriously Won't do shit for him by now

[@throttaltherory]

@somethingelse4846 tell Gram Jarvis that it's over at 35

[@somethingelse4846]

@throttaltherory that's apples to oranges he wasn't trying to come back at age 35 lawrence will be 36 soon,and has hit hard drugs for years in his past...really what can he accomplish with these facts?

[@georgie-peorgie73]

How good is his mindset right now...this is so good...how he explains not coming back to enter a national...great honesty and J Law being real...love it...there is a space in this industry for just this...💪...awesome

[@johnchafin3817]

Would love to see him continue to race GNCC. Great interview.

[@sendaaja8809]

Cool to see him back racing!

[@Runk3lsmcdougal]

Daaaaarrrrkkkk getting all the good scoops

[@scottshepherd9871]

Great to see him back .

[@7-SDH]

Amazing Talent ❤

[@GIT2WORK747]

Thanks for all the memories Jlaw. Its all good.

[@shaunkasparek631]

JLAWS THE MAN! Hope he pops up more often. We need talent and personality like his around.

[@premix3663]

Yep we need more riders showing up to races on drugs, rolling their trucks the night before the race and being braindead 24/7 great thing for the kids to see

[@chriscampbell867]

Personality? He can hardly put together a intelligent sentence… marble mouth

[@jesochoa]

JLAW !!! Dudes a REAL ONE!!!

[@erikgale7161]

Hell yeah welcome back to two wheels brotha

[@pnum9618]

GNCC aint no joke raced one in 2005 Palatka Florida gnarly had to take a IV after that one 3hrs long u might do three laps JLaw could of been great bad choices hope to see more of him

[@brentnaylor6138]

Always loved watching that guy so fast

[@purebloodheretic4682]

Jlaw should do the Arena Cross circuit - He'd still be competitive if fit enough👍

[@Peace2024TrumpUSA]

Jlaw keep living my friend… f*ck the haters and enjoy life 🤘no regrets

[@Double_Platinum_Dante]

YES!!!!! The man is back!

[@JuanM759]

The fact that this man accomplished what 99.9% of people who even care about dirtbikes will ever accomplish is respectable. Regardless of if you think he’s a punk or deserved it or not. I don’t think this man ever wanted to or claimed to be a role model. He’s not your kids daddy. He may be your girls daddy though. Live long and prosper J-Law, welcome back!

[@allisonbrautigam1444]

Good for you bro! Genuinely.

[@michaelgrubbs1618]

Yo good to see you back. Got a private track in Hammonton. We know a lot of the same people come right if you want pal

[@Powdaman22]

Awesome! Have fun Jason!✊🏻🏄🏻

[@jeepernj99]

He sounds good. Hopefully he’s going to start showing up to some more events

[@Bmxdad916]

What place did he get?

[@Jacobskibros]

He just needs to start hanging out with his cousin Jett.

[@zcole6612]

If the guys having fun . Life is good .never look back at what could have been

[@rochellestanley9532]

Good stuff 🇺🇸

[@son_of_mxry]

RV2 and J-Law at the 2-stroke championship anyone ?

[@jasonhenninger]

I HATE when people just immediately go to the dont do drugs thing… sorry everyone isn’t perfect. People LOVE to HATE. Dorks

[@Dean-zx6nx]

Don’t do drugs. No hate just facts.

[@cjorgie1]

I here you. It is however a pretty universal truth. That being said,..a good comeback story is cool. I hope he’s doing well and continues to!

[@JonnyJetson754]

He looks healthy and enjoying being around bikes

[@TheJoeml85]

Drugs are fun until u get addicted 😂

[@Ghostdog4]

Still proudly wearing my "Free J-Law" T-Shirt

[@GOTCHAPARK]

Sweet I am a J Law fan for sure !! Go get um kid !!!!

[@Dentdude]

Legend

[@Dirtbiker4541]

These two would be darrrkkkkkkk at parties 🤟🏼🍻

[@candyman9959]

He looked pretty fast still

[@JbFixCorleone]

Give him a contract somewhat., somehow.. J-Law! Finally gets his flowers

[@nathandowns369]

Like to see him do ax. Naturally talented

[@farmerkevin]

Awesome!!

[@callandickson1196]

He looks like turtle man LIVE ACTION

[@mikecappola]

GOAT

[@bentleyspears4489]

LFG ! Someone get him a 2smoker and show up to anything RV2 is signed up for ! #makeJLawGreatAgain

[@lylesommers5018]

J Law could have been a 450 champion if he just stayed out of trouble. Nice to see him back.

[@Stoffels338]

J-Law DUDE,,, Just become a coach!!!! you have the most natural talent. teach your skill carry it over!!!

[@nillocyor2747]

Free JLAW

[@hihihihihihihihi8567]

awesome

[@zee.___moose941]

Sick

[@lukekelly5115]

Someone should really give him a shot at some jday stuff or some sprint enduro stuff since his skill set would carry over better to some wide open stuff

[@rickguthrie2287]

KEEP US UP TO DATE ON HIS RIDE PLEADSE

[@tylersvensson4468]

Imagine where he would be if he kept his mouth closed and listen to people around him. Guy easily could have been the best living out on a beach somewhere with a wife and kids with not having to worry about money.

[@bighaasfly]

Seems like he’s either a relative of or doing an impression of Bobcat Goldthwait.

[@racerx2084]

Lmao

[@jpesicka492]

See you at RBSR.

[@PerryKamieniecki-ti9tl]

Yeah Buddy.We need some Law back n our sport

[@racecastle]

Braaaaaapppp

[@toolmusic4ever]

Truth.

[@garylynch8612]

Would be good to see him back at some level in the sport. Doesn’t even have to be riding

[@Sleepy.Time.]

the sport was way more interesting when Jlaw was racing

[@ktmjay9920]

Stay safe and ripp

[@potsyflower153]

Meth/Ice is fucking bad drug. His anxiety is through the roof

[@Jf.513]

Just stick to holding your bud light in the air on the sidelines bro…….keep reminiscing!

[@carrillospeed]

JLaw if you’re reading this you’re a real American hero!!

[@bowda99]

Had a great future in racing then blew it on drugs bit his friends ear off did prison time and no team will touch him with a 10ft pole. Yep all American hero right there 😂😂😂

[@carrillospeed]

So what if he took to many drugs or crashed a rental car at a high rate of speed not all hero’s wear a uniform

[@Sprocket74]

If he's a hero, there's some major problems. Dude threw away what millions wish they could have a chance at.

[@markdawson8946]

I’m hoping you’re being sarcastic. He was a punk who could ride a dirt bike. But I don’t feel sorry for him throwing his career away for being stupid.

[@jamieayers-cg7py]

Dude that’s it no race video????

[@darkmean65]

They will probably have a bunch pop up but you can’t wear a gopro anymore suck’s

[@darkmean65]

Should be popping up,you can’t wear a gopro anymore

[@jamieayers-cg7py]

Didn’t know

[@gavinjohnsonpnw5626]

Anyone sayin he’s doing drugs don’t know anyone who has done drugs.

[@dougbot5565]

J law is awesome.... Love that fcker 👍

[@JamieJohnson-vg4dm]

I tell you right now.. he would get smoked if he came back to Supercross 😅

[@lampenracer]

What else would you expect? His prime was about 15 years ago. That's a long time.

[@spice3767]

Vet mxdn…that would be AWESOME….!! JLAW ROCKS….!!

[@dougmckuhn4373]

😂😂

[@tonyjenkins272]

Bsdass J Law the man ! 💯🔥🔥💪

[@lilhydrant]

Tbh he looks California sober and I’m all for it🎉

[@powersportsenthusiast1986]

what a surprisingly american comment... thats not a compliment btw. notifications are not on ;)

[@denniswilder3014]

Still a punk

[@kylejo96]

What makes you say that?

[@denniswilder3014]

@@kylejo96 listen to him.

[@kylejo96]

@denniswilder3014 I did wich is why im curious..maybe i missed some abhorrentbehavior....what did he say that makes him still a punk?

[@kylejo96]

Because he said "fuck"? Or his straight up self accountability for crying wolf? Seems like any other guy his age stoked to get back on a bike... jlaw was undoubtedly a problem child in the sport.. but..nothing here says anything about him being a punk.... is this just more pearl clutching and gatekeeping from the straightedge motomormons? Orrrrr... just a hater?

[@denniswilder3014]

@@kylejo96 his attitude not showing respect to the guy asking questions and looking all over the place and basically saying he is to good to just ride these one off races unless a team gives him a bike. And his attitude just sucks.

[@Buy_MadeinUS]

Since he threw his career away after other people poured millions into it, he should be responsible for his actions and buy his way back in by funding his own riding. Not using up resources that could help a current or future talented rider that’s not going to do everyone dirty.

[@Shoorit]

The team has sponsors, the sponsors want eyes on them.. Love or hate Jlaw brings a LOT of attention and is probably one of the few riders that would cause a team like this to go ‘viral’

[@jasonhenninger]

I’m sure there are athletes that have had WAY more invested in them and done far less than him…. Cool idea though 👎🏻

[@thekidd1856]

Yea you not hip at all bro wen it comes to the sponsers they don’t really care about nothing but people being interested in there investment an selling product because of that rider(investment) , yea they want wins bcuz that’s what usually brings attention but if you can get it another way by jus being you , it kinda wouldn’t matter if you don’t get wins as long as the people are watching or buying products bcuz of you

[@tedturner9054]

It's a kids' sport, and the investment you put in these riders is a risk. They owe nothing back if it doesn't pan out.

[@Hatchyxxxx]

He is doing his job for the sport just fine. He made you comment on the video 😂

[@quadfather44]

I'm not a fan of him.the industry class is for ex A riders that can no longer compete with their peers.2 women and 17 riders that potentially could be 12years old beat him.

[@coryrobertson2929]

B class at best now

[@Factory132z]

at gncc... but real talk man a few months riding on a 450 he will still clap the local A class lmao.

[@mattfoster2021]

Grow up & drop the profanity. Vital MX should bleep lack of vocabulary.

[@coryrobertson2929]

What a waste. Ja law and Lechein

[@schristiansen3151]

Wow, what a trainwreck. Don't do drugs kids. 😅

[@senkosirius9730]

With the talent he has theres no excuse not to be racing regularly even if its not SX

[@superfly3990]

You know, and I think that I can speak for everyone, riding GNCC is the same as taking a ride in the family car with the windows down going to Dairy Queen. I'm sure JLaw will slap the GNCC riders around and come home with a 1st place trophy. And, to be clear, there is no shame in riding a GNCC event. It's just riding in the woods and sitting down. It's not like MX where there is high speed competition and high flying excitement. With enough practice, and dedication, the typical GNCC can advance into the glamorous world of MX and gain the respect of their friends and family members.

[@ryanstratton1925]

No way he even has a chance with the real pros. I'm sure he can smoke all the weekend warriors but put him in with real pros and he has no chance. You can't be off for 15 years and be fast ever again. It won't last. It think it's cool. IF Dungey can't do it (Dungey is still in better shape than most of the riders) Jlaw looking fat and old is not going to have a hope in hell.

[@unstoppableplayz6948]

Still an immature punk from what he just presented in this interview. Wasted talent..FR. He might have a chance if he trained, got some coaching(and LISTENS),no partying and put 100 percent in it. Will he, though?
