You can tell by the way Jett talks now he has matured a lot. Awesome to hear from our Aussie boy 🇦🇺

[@dhbldr]

All hype aside. This kid fucking rocks. Our sport is in good hands with racers like him coming up through the ranks.

[@dhbldr]

He knows where's he's been. That makes all the difference in the world when you see where you are at the moment. Even better, he earned it.

[@TheImtoomuch]

One of the main reasons Jett rules is because he seems so down to Earth and so humble. On top of that he has an awesome personality, insane natural ability and the drive. Best of luck to him. Right now he is wearing the weight of the world on his shoulders.

[@chrisp9708]

Damn what an inspiring story. Only 18 years old too. Glad to see him and his family succeeding.

[@chrisnutt4659]

The world's your oyster Jett. Stay humble and enjoy the opportunity in front of you. Your a breath of fresh air mate. You have such wonderful support around you. Go get it Champion🏆🍻🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@dwayne1655]

Stoked to have another Aussie killing it and representing Australia on the world stage, and seems to have a good head on his shoulders too. Its hard to teach that sort of wisdom to a teen but he has obviously has some great mentors his life.

[@xd_gangster693]

I love how down to earth he is for his age. words can't even describe how awesome this dude is

[@jetset8888]

Awesome Jett - stay in your lane and grounded you’ll be a goat in this sport. Well done to his parents for keeping him grounded.

[@willysworldtv]

This kid is a superstar in the making..

[@marksommerville5857]

This is just the beginning Jett. Plenty more to come in the future.

[@Kawiboy]

Great young man. Much deserved .. Kudos JETT 👍 👊.. Thnx as always GYPSY .. Old G 😉

[@michaelroat607]

What a stud! Keep your head on straight! My 3 boys and I are huge fans! You killed the rollers at red bud this year , got to watch I live!

[@VlogEpicness]

Congrats Mate!!!

[@Josh-py2pq]

Mike and redbull! Best sponsors ever so hyped for jett!

[@triple4sss]

For a lot of us, getting a new bike is the treat.

[@jarrettgreen460]

best Jett clip so far. kid is so afar ahead of his age generation.

[@woodysrockspyro6436]

Pretty cool man. Keep your head straight and enjoy every moment you can. Stay safe.

[@Gpx111]

Cool to see the times of struggle drives him, times of sleeping in workshops and pool tables keeps the fire burning 👍

[@perrykamieniecki8810]

Great job a lot of hard work for many many years you deserve and have worked very hard for all you have be proud of yourself and your accomplishments but I know you will not forget where you came from.Cheers

[@KimJohansenn]

How is Jett 18 already ?! Time goes by way too fast! But yeah, awesome dude for sure

[@loganmilesMX]

HUNTA!! Good on that family! Making positive role models and well to do young men. I'll be using some of dazzys influence upon my own practices, thanks for sharing!

[@jmx318]

Growing up riding dirtbikes all his life, must’ve been so hard. Cry me a river mate.

[@slpn9t]

Well done Jett!

[@26dato]

Good on him has done Australia proud hopefully the we can keep charging for 22 jett a SX title and hunter the MX title that would be so dope can only think it’s possible atm

[@nelsonmarsh1341]

Such a great kid.

[@scott729]

I am a manager and going back to my days at Purdue I had a Industrial Engineering course where the professor was a retired plant manager for Alcoa there in Lafayette, IN. I am 54 an to this day I still use his advise. It's simple really, "get the right people to do the right things right and take care of the people (the same people obviously) who take care of you". Honestly what else is there whilst on your way to the top? Really does work and it is sad that more managers do not take the approach- intentionally.

[@gregoryvierra6114]

Most people here won’t know what Purdue is.

[@scott729]

@@gregoryvierra6114 Well they should, it is an ivy league school, lol. Anyway, doesn't change the advise.

[@gregoryvierra6114]

Purdue is a great University but it is not one of the seven Ivy League schools. Try again.

[@gregoryvierra6114]

*eight

[@scott729]

@@gregoryvierra6114 It is a god damn joke dude. I am very aware of what Purdue is.

[@sneipfmx]

Cool dude😁👍

[@christophercox8927]

My 35 yr old ass crying into my 2 minute noodles lol

[@darley04]

This kid is smart way beyond his years. Sounds like dad is a hard arse but for a reason and it's paying off in both $'s & the attitude that he has installed in his kids.

[@djc7039]

Rare to "buy" a house at 18. but I suspect Jet PAID for it. Good on you Jet stay healthy/race long

[@karlslidingdoorguru1785]

what a drag for me, I have the slow gene and have been a novice for 45 years. and this kid and his brother . shit look at them go.

[@ryanstratton1925]

I want to know what car he is getting.

[@michaelherrickmusic]

i hope honda can hook him up with an NSX

[@semrow96me35]

I feel like it's a nightmare of the inevitable though motocross supercross only lasts so long

[@seanhaberman4619]

He's the big dog now. He's going to make a lot of money through racing, sponsor pay, and endorsement deals. I'd bet he's in the high 7 to low 8 digit region this year. If he stays at the top like he should he could easily retire with a career earning near $100 million. As long as he's not stupid he should be able to set himself and his family up for life.

[@philhurst5813]

Question - if his family was so poor, how in the world did they afford to buy a dirt bike and go racing? Not just one child doing it but 2 kids racing dirt bikes. I can't understand that...at all.

[@GYPSYTALES]

Poor because of dirt bikes. Was the same in my family. We wanted to go racing so all the money that would go towards normal stuff got put on the back burner so we could all race and travel as a family each weekend. Just a kind of lifestyle I guess?

[@philhurst5813]

@@GYPSYTALES i guess its all in how you define "poor". The "poor" in my area can barely affordable a bicycle.

[@kaleheidke9875]

Aussie Aussie aussie

[@chupacabraracing181]

I like Jett and am not trying to be negative, but how was his family so "broke" and eating ramen noodles every night yet he was racing motocross? Our sport is NOT cheap. Quite expensive to compete at a high level. Something doesn't add up with Jetts' story of being broke.

[@GYPSYTALES]

Broke because of motocross. Chasing the dream kinda deal. Surely that makes sense?

[@chupacabraracing181]

@@GYPSYTALES yea i get that but seems like food would not have been skimped out on like he's talking about with having to eat the noodles for dinner. I mean most parents in that situation skimp out on buying the new "name brand" clothes and shoes so that they can buy the kid the best MX gear. But they would want the kid to eat healthy. Also, here in America families that are struggling get food stamps so that food isn't an issue and I'm pretty sure Australia has some kind of similar system. But either way happy for Jett and Hunter both for making it to the top of the sport.

[@seanhaberman4619]

​@@chupacabraracing181his family sold everything and moved to Europe to take a chance on their kids. It didn't pan out right away and they needed help at every turn. It's finally paid off and Jett is making more in a year then they ever had. The gamble paid off and the kid is making the most of it.

[@NJDEVILz86]

Be careful of those monster girls

[@caydenthompson126]

How much did his house cost and what car is he getting? Those are the questions

[@gregoryvierra6114]

It’s rude to ask what someone paid for something. If you’re so curious just find out his address and look it up online.

[@zwtvchannel]

Doesn’t matter how much shit costs.. That’s his business..

[@jeffreymoran6234]

Bro your 18 you should have waited a couple more years and stacked your money.

[@seanhaberman4619]

Why? He's far from done making money.

[@seanhaberman4619]

This is why Danger kid has no chance, he has no reason to win besides pride. Jett has to win or his family's struggle is in vain. If he doesn't succeed it was all for nothing. Haiden will never have to worry about the consequences of a bad season, Jett needs to win to provide for his family. This is real life for him, for Deegan it's just a hobby, that's the difference.

[@BillyBoblovesthedirt]

You were eating 2 minute noodles because your mum and dad spent all their money paying for you to play a luxury sport. Can’t you see the irony in what you are saying.

[@seanhaberman4619]

Paid off for them. Try not being a hater.
