Who used to design these tracks? Seem a lot better than the current dirt wurx tracks.

[@livefastdiequick]

I was seriously just thinking that

[@Powerbandm]

I was thinking that too

[@Ty_Thailand]

Exactly what i was thinking

[@3rdlineplug]

This year a lot of riders had designed them.

[@jonruger]

@@3rdlineplug they have always done that go rewatch any of to 2000s bar to bars they usually say who designed the track that night before the race.

[@johnjones231]

Tracks were way better

[@Stoffels338]

J-Law probably one of the most talented riders I have ever seen... What a shame to think what could have been... He could have had one of the greatest AMA careers if a few things just went different for him!

[@zacharyradford5552]

It’s got nothing to do with things needing to go differently. He made bad choices.

[@Stoffels338]

@@zacharyradford5552 thats what I mean about thing going different, just did not want to be so forward about it.

[@johntomasik1555]

JMB, Reyanard, Windham, Pourcel, Stew, Jett. A few ways to win, but a lot of ways to lose.

[@slayer6936]

J-Law was an uneducated brain dead moron. His dad failed at raising him in so many ways. He didn't have any critical thinking skills at all he didn't know good from bad.

[@Bradygoodz]

J law 💯

[@snowzZzZz]

From least consistent to most consistent likely with Lawrence's head games as a factor.

[@oogoozoo]

Pretty cool to see Osbourne all the way back then win a championship now.

[@Tide12NC]

What’s sad is he could have been a great rider. Dungey learned from his mistakes and became a multi time champion who’ll always be remembered. JLaw fell off the map, and will be remembered for what might have been. High strung talkers don’t seem to last long in this sport.

[@zacharyradford5552]

It wasn’t because of a fall off on skill he raced one 450 SX and finished second. He kept getting in trouble with the law fighting, drinking, drugs.

[@m.a.8789]

The commentary is even more annoying in retrospect

[@josephmarkell9742]

Man the tracks seem so wide and the crowd seems so loud

[@ericcrittenden2166]

The difference wasn't in talent. Lawrence had every bit as much skill as Dungey, maybe even more. But Dungey is now a legend and multi time sx and mx champion. Need to make good decisions and surround yourself with positive influences when youre young. One had that and the other one didn't.

[@djc7039]

JL before he decided to be no one

[@tobywoodard7]

"The Prodigy" I hadn't heard that one. I suppose there were many people let down by that name over the years. I mean, what big shoes to fill. But, just look at him today. A near perfect rider!

[@Bandzino91]

its crazy watching this back and seeing how many mistakes dungey made. he went from crashing pretty much every race to being one of the most efficient and consistant riders in the history of the sport.

[@tolonicks1]

If JL stuck with it and stayed out of trouble -stayed consistent he would be 450 champ

[@BananerRepublic]

tolonicks not a chance

[@MotoRevelations]

@@BananerRepublic why? he straight up beat Dungey for the championship here and look where he went. #clueless

[@twotwentyswift]

IF he stayed out of trouble... And IF cows could fly.. And if your auntie had balls...

[@dougdickason]

@@MotoRevelations that's so unfair, because people like Dhngey had the moral character and fortitude to stay the path and work his a*s off everyday year after year striving for his place, and JLaw didn't have what it took on the inside to do all the things one needs to do do to be a great. But he could have been. Well, you could have been President, but I haven't seen your name on the ballot.

[@MotoRevelations]

@@dougdickason hahahaha ok

[@stephenwilson1012]

Jesus I forgot how loud the bikes used to be

[@llla4091]

Stacked class

[@dc_5sauce]

The difference between Stroup dog and J-Law?? Stroupe got caught getting faded. Sad they didn't make it.

[@llla4091]

Imagune j law with Dungey work ethic. Unbeatable

[@robertsnyder5522]

Yeah...JL was so ecstatic that he decided to shit his career away soon after. Makes me sick to see talent piss their life away.

[@zacharyradford5552]

He’s doing pretty good right now bet your still bitter.

[@chrisbuehler6868]

​@zacharyradford5552 you just replied to a comment from 6yrs ago seems like you're bitter. JLaw is about to race Arenacross and Dumgey is an 8x AMA Champion. Yeah JLaw 's killing it

[@clemsontigz1]

Damn shame about Lawrence

[@tobywoodard7]

+clemsontigz1 Please explain to me what happened to him. Thank you.

[@snowzZzZz]

He was one of those people who was incredibly talented, but troubled. Drugs got the best of him I'm pretty sure, and he's disappeared for the most part over then some videos he's released online of him riding. He probably had some of the most raw potential of anyone, but lacked the drive and determination to stick through it when things weren't going his way. I could be wrong, but jail messed him up the most.

[@johnnybgood774]

J law is just a normal human and loved riding it was never meant to be a job for him

These tracks though

[@MoonDeric]

JLaw gave dungey the dong 🤣🤣

[@hudscp]

So good to see Dungey sweat, and make all those mistakes.

[@obundrick]

I used to hate lining up with Tommy Hahn we would have to line up with the pro class guy cooper Robbie Reynard johnny Marley I grew up racing in Oklahoma when there was a state race most tracks didn't have lights well anywho there would be over 4000 bikes racing so they would line us up with the pros that kid was phenomenal.

[@tylorwilliams9062]

Did anyone notice that Jake Weimer and the monster energy girl are actually the same person with different hair???

Awesome video. Keep doing what you're doing. Be blessed!

[@spiderdavis3296]

Jason Lawrence.So much talent wasted.Thanks for posting.

[@chriszbodula1894]

Whoever does the video editing/cuts needs to go back to school. They miss so much important passes and progressions. Total amateur

[@juanblasmoro2468]

J-Law. 😮

[@no_wing_no_prayer]

He would have spanked RD5 if he had have stayed healthy.

[@h4duk3nn]

This was Dungey's aggressive riding year.

[@telefunkenyou47]

I'm glad I never did or didn't do anything at a young age that I regretted later on.

[@stephenwalters4019]

Who knew JL would take it to heart when they said racers crank it up!

[@user-tv1le7sw2l]

If that was Dungeys final year of his contract, they would have dumped him. Dungey goes on to become one of the goats, and Lawrence went on to be a junkie .

[@countryforged806]

JLaw ruined not only his own career but drug josh hill down with him

[@MikeLAslade]

No he didnt, just because they were roommates and friends doesnt mean anything. Josh breaking his leg trying to learn how to backflip was definitely the biggest thing to negatively affect his career. When he did finally come back he actually rode really well and experienced some more success.

[@carlstanton2550]

You can't blame jlaw for that. Hill wasn't what the media portrayed him as. Also remember that stroup and nico izzi were also on the same path. It was a dark period in the sport, teams are more supportive of their riders off the track now, and riders have a more career based attitude.

[@ds6329]

Josh Hill did a podcast talking about this. In his own words, he partied with J-Law but didn't do the drugs nor weed, but was guilty by association.

[@ryanstratton1925]

who's laughing now Lawrence

[@kochj0713]

Bikes now are way too powerful for Supercross they need a 125 two-stroke class for Supercross and they should maybe do a restrictor plate that they placed on the 250s and 450s to make racing more interesting. And yeah Jlaw pretty sad deal in my opinion he may not been the best person as far as like how he talks to people but he could’ve been one of the greatest racers and had longevity.

[@matthunter1667]

Bikes are to powerful 🤔 Holy crap I think your the first dude in history to want less power and performance. Who tf puts a restrictedr plate on a motocross bike and who wants all the bikes to run the same bland de-tuned set up ???
