I will miss him a lot when he retires. One of the best SX rider all time.

I got some new drone footage showing Jett taking the inside rut that came together with Anderson’s rut trying to take his line away.  Anderson was on the outside holding his line but it caused Jett to miss the next jump and then later on Anderson was on the outside again where Jett tried taking his line away with the ruts coming together causing Jett to miss a jump again.

Anderson was on the outside both times holding his line and didn't do anything wrong.

Michael great interview. I appreciate your style and detailed knowledge of what you saw on the track. It lead to a good conversation with Jason and gave us the information I’m interested in hearing. Keep up the good work in your interviews and pit bits. I like Lewis’s approach as well in his efforts to get more information from our mature racers.

I appreciate that. I like asking the riders about technique, bike setup, or lines I notice. Works well with some riders who seem to like breaking that stuff down. I also really appreciate Lewis' line of questioning, he's always working an angle of sorts or knows how to guide questions to get to an interesting subject or insight with a rider. I think for our brand it's good we have both and try not to be too stale.

I knew that there was basic technique, bike setup, and course obstacles but I didn’t think anyone would be able to break it all down or find obvious clues and answers…I guess that’s what separates the amateurs and pros.  And then to see how close the lap times are is even crazier to find some kind of split second advantage.  Glad Kawi got it figured out since they like to stick with a certain setups each year.  And then for Anderson to straight up pass the best in the world is being modest…he kicked some butt at A2 to make himself a contender among one of the deepest fields.

Also, like the shirt. Quietly wearing a $400 t-shirt haha.

I thought Jett would get roasted pretty bad but I didn’t hear that much booing from this person’s video.  Maybe it was more obvious at the stadium.  True you can get booed and cheered and credit to Anderson to keep his mojo but also not giving up like if the old bike could only offer so much frame.  Glad he stuck around for the 2024 model and podiums.

Jason is like a new MC level hero on and off the track.  Check out his gypsy interview too.
