"Their Season is Over" | Ups & Downs from San Francisco | 2024 Supermotocross SX

[@BuckC]

Big thumbs up to all the die hard fans I met at the race, and every single one of them was hardcore! It felt like we were all in a giant boat together, in storm of mud and rain. Crazy fun

[@kurtisthiele]

Thumb up for RotoMoto 👍🏼

[@brentnaylor6138]

Love the content keep it coming

[@ronchappel4812]

Well done Chase! That start was insane.I went back and replayed it at slow speed.He flat out guessed it!! There was no skill involved! It could have backfired badly so i guess he thought it a risk worth taking? Dont feel too bad from underestimating Tomac.Mud riding isnt an indicator of form.There's still no proof he's up to speed. I hope he is of course.Having several guys battling for the lead is awesome for us fans.Especially if they're running away from everyone like the '22 outdoor season. On that subject,Chase said they found a (dry weather)fork setting that he's comfortable with ,so we should see him near the front of every race now. Man,how about Jett? If you gonna screw up,do it REALLY bad😅😅. It will be genuine twilight zone stuff if he does go on to win every other race.

[@Ryan_Cranston]

Keep it up Roto.

[@dutchmckracken9025]

If anyone reads anything more than luck or lack there of into this race 🤣😂🤣. But it is part of the game so kudos to all that made the best of it. These conditions may be the great equalizer the entire field needs to keep Jett in sight.

[@curtiscollins2174]

Suzuki outdated but 94 will still win a main event soon. Much talent. Humble opinion 😌.

[@CR250rSMITH]

its the rider and not the bike, Jett would get wins on suzuki if he wanted too

[@PinkuStyle]

​@CR250rSMITH 💯

[@davidbiagi2932]

It’s really not that outdated. Yeah, it needs an electric start, but everything else is pretty close to everything else. Not sure why everyone thinks Suzuki is so bad just because they don’t have an electric start 🤣🤦‍♂️

[@jesochoa]

THUMBS 👍 TO ROTO RATING SYSTEM!! HOLD the PROS to a STANDARD , of performance, yes they are expected to perform well! Always no excuses!

[@davidbiagi2932]

I was impressed with mcelrath. Hell of a ride for him and loved seeing him back up there near the top. He’s had a rough career after having such a good start and looking like one of the best top guys earlier in his career. Dude is an awesome dude and super nice.

[@curtiscollins2174]

Fan of this great rider myself..

[@donmiller2246]

I’m very surprised to see that you and the rest of the you tube media do not appear to watch or listen to each other’s interviews. Eli revealed a great deal before a1 on press day by saying they had changed tires to get a taller sidewall which has totally changed his setup going into a1. Now I understand what that means but apparently not a lot of others do this is going to be a a points battle a lot like 2023 between chase and Eli with Jett adding flyers every 2 or 3 races

[@BennyZ21k]

I think it's way too early to call it a wash for Jo. Everyone in the west this year is prone to bad races and 29 points over 8 rounds is very doable (especially with 2 shootouts)

I wonder if Jo is looking for another ride in 2025. The Honda just isn't fast enough or reliable.

[@staryotes]

Jo is extremely overrated he's had 4 good races last year and everyone wants him to be the best 250 guy lol

[@patrickharper9969]

#14 looked good in the mud.

[@bjs001001]

Frankly, I was impressed with everyone who kept it on two wheels for the whole night. Very impressed with Chase and the way he calmly got around the track and didn't make one of his trademark mistakes with the race on the line. If he keeps riding mistake free, it's going to be a very interesting season.

[@seanhaberman4619]

It's funny that people are talking about this race like it's some kind of massive collapse by Jett or a sign that Chase and Eli can beat him in this championship. All this race is going to do is keep them in the points a round or two longer. Jett's winning 10 rounds this season and wrapping up the title early.

[@merdith6]

Doubt it

[@st25at]

Yep, unfortunately it’s part of the dosial fickle social media world we live in now. Knuckleheads galore.

[@seanhaberman4619]

@merdith6 What do you doubt? 10 rounds? An early wrap-up for the title? Both are basically guarantees barring a serious injury (which isn't likely considering how Jett rides/manages races)

[@dandiaz7113]

it’s too early to predict, hoping no injuries this season!

[@franklee6518]

How about we just enjoy the season

[@kelevra7711]

Kenny didnt stall the bike. He just got stock in the mud. If you rewatch it, you an clearly see him hitting a invisble wall.

[@JamieJohnson-vg4dm]

Maybe this is the bike for chase.. we find out soon. Maybe he will give Jett a challenge with good starts like he did

[@sawtoothscream1521]

Looks good so far. Not nearly as bad as the media was making it sound. See how he runs next weekend.

[@seanhaberman4619]

You can't take anything away from last nights race. Nothing about that race means anything for the racing going forward.

[@sawtoothscream1521]

@@louisxxxx looked fine at A1, was good in qualifying yesterday before the shit storm. I know Jett is your guy but pretending like Chase isn't a top rider is rediculious. Chase will be on the podium at the end of the year and I'm sure Jett will as well. See how chase does next week, will he beat Jett? I'm not willing to bet on it since Jett has proven to be that guy.

[@keiannschyler]

why is Jett's plate has a different color than the rest?

[@davidbiagi2932]

I wouldn’t put much into tomacs podium. It was all about getting a good start and just staying up. If you notice. The veteran guys are the ones who won both classes and did the best in the 450s. Tomac will drop back down outside the podium and maybe top 5 when we get back to normal track conditions. He just doesn’t have it in him anymore to push it to his limits to run the speed needed to run with Jett and chase and those top guys. Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think so.

[@staryotes]

I'm sure your boyfriend agrees with you

[@Lou-eye]

Well weather report for next Sat San Diego race is 80% chance of rain! Will be another quagmire nightmare!

[@bryced3832]

What’s your issue with the broadcast showing Prado celebrating a heat win??

[@RotoMoto]

Did you watch the race? We literally missed 25 seconds of the last lap of the heat race, and when we came back Plessinger’s lead was gone and we had no idea why he lost the time.

[@ryanbaker8756]

Agree with it being annoying that the broadcast didn't show all the race

[@wcz61]

What a blessing to put Jett where he belongs. Great rider but the hype and chip he has on his shoulder I am sure being lapped was the ultimate embarrassment for him. Both Jett and Hunter you can see are not mud riders that’s survival of the fittest and it proved experience as everyone passed them and their mistakes. I loved it !

[@st25at]

What chip are you talking about. Do you know what that means? Clearly not.

I thought Kitchen had a fantastic ride

[@dc_5sauce]

For the record...i believe the backstage with Prado....he hugged his girlfriend of 7 years. I thought the #94's ride was good considering the start he ended up with.

[@ronaldmyers2042]

Way to soon to tell if anybody can beat Jett for the 2024 SX title. This mudder just erased him from running away from it. Gave these guys a second chance. As far as Shimoda it's definitely worry time at HRC because his back is against the wall.

[@aus-rider]

Everyone asking if he can change me back from this shocking 9th pl and how bad did it effect him, I can almost give a good analysis on how, he will be annoyed and when there is an annoyed Jett, he normally sets out and wins.

What Yoder did was legal? Or just not caught? Seemed intentional to go off track whether he made passes or not. Kind of like messing up the first couple whoops and then riding the sideline.

[@bombaysapphire9304]

Leave the thumbs 👍 👎 for KZbin video ratings. There is no benefit to distilling everyone’s performances and standings down to good/bad. I much prefer hearing your analysis of what each rider needs to do to keep winning or turn it around. Then run scenarios that tell us how different results after next race changes the standings 🙏

[@RotoMoto]

You're right... to turn things around I think Jo, Thrasher, Malcolm, RJ & Jett should stop crashing in the mud. Smith, Kitchen, Chase, Eli & Roczen should continue not crashing in the mud. Hope this helps!

What happened with the lives after the races? Did racerx bought you?

[@RotoMoto]

To be completely transparent, I'm trying to prevent burn out. Between this channel, Racer X, editing for PulpMX Show, PulpMX Fantasy as well as curating the new Video Vault channel I had to cut back on my deliverables a bit. I would love to do them again, but without a sponsor it was hard to justify staying up past 1am when I've already been covering the sport all day for zero monetary return. I'm hoping to find a sponsor that would bring it back in the fold, but when at the races live I'm trying to use what little time I have to better cultivate relationships with riders and crew. I contemplated last night, but with the conditions I just didn't think there would be a lot of talk about with so many DNFs and things out of rider's control. I know it's a disappointing answer 😩

[@paulbernard2397]

This has so little to do with Motocross, it's ridiculous. If your starting to draw hard and fast conclusions based on the outcome of this your clutching at straws. The 450 guys can only hope for more of this as it's their only chance of bettering Jett (and I am a Rotzen fan, although to be honest, they're all amazing [not you Freise]). Great to see Jordan Smith get a good result, when the track started out being marginally rideable, but again, I don't think anyone can draw conclusions.

Hugging some woman ? Perhaps it was his woman. Who would you hug after winning a heat race ? Are you jealous ? Weird...

[@RotoMoto]

Normally I wouldn't engage but since you felt the need to publicly announce your unfollow I guess there's no harm in offending you... did you listen to the rest of my thought or just run to the comments? Did you think about using an ounce of logical thinking or do you need it spelled out? I said, and I quote, "A quick thumbs down though for the broadcast showing Prado getting off a cart to hug some woman in the style of a WWE backstage segment during the last lap of 450 heat 2." Do you think its a good decision to take 25 seconds of the final lap of a heat race being led by an unlikely fan favorite with track conditions so gnarly that literally anything could happen? And it did! We come back from that, and Aaron's 9 second lead is now 3 and Hunter Lawrence is also off the track. We have the technology to show two things at the same time, they used it allllll night. But in this moment, on the last lap of a race, they decided to cut away for almost HALF A MINUTE to show us a rider the average fan is barely familiar with hug some people that we do not know without telling us why this moment is important or relevant. Is that his girlfriend? His wife? His sister? His mistress? Do they have names? If the goal of cutting to that moment was to tell a story or build a narrative they did a terrible job, in addition to NOT delivering the product that every single human tuning in is actually here to see. I can't believe I have to explain this. Enjoy the rest of the races 👍
