- Cameron McAdoo speaks on racing Jett Lawrence and specifically the 2022 Indy Supercross where Cameron was able to pass Jett for the lead.
Cameron Mcadoo joins us after a tough couple of weeks at the office, as an unlucky crash forced him out of the SX championship. It has been quite the season though for Cam as he was once again in the hunt for the championship even after a crazy first turn incident that left him exposed, but unfazed. In this podcast we talk not only about the above, but about coming out of his shell in 2024, his rivalry with Haiden Deegan, AC's mentorship and retirement, Eli Tomac, if burnouts are a good idea after winning a race, the evolution of 4-stroke, and Supercross tracks in 2024.
3:08 Cam's reaction was pretty funny you can tell he's thinking like "bro, that's million dollar question ain't it.."
GYPSY TALES is literally one of the top podcast for this sport. Like top 3 for sure.
Hard to hate on Cam! Great guy
It absolutely killed me when he got injured a few weeks ago.... I really wanted that 3 way battle between Cameron, RJ, and levy
Jetts raw talent and raw speed are what sets him apart. His comfort level is way higher than the other guys. Everyone has to really stretch there comfort zone to match his speed and at that point, it’s just a matter of when they’ll make a mistake pushing it. I’ve said it 100 times already, I honestly don’t think we’ve seen Jett’s full potential yet. There were a couple races this year when he was behind and actually had to push it, and he was almost too fast. The race where he clipped Webb in the sand stands out. I don’t think even he realized how much faster he was going than Webb until he was right there. The kid is unreal
Mcadoo just moved up a notch on my ladder… now he’s at notch one 😂 jokes… it takes a pretty big man to give props to someone else who does something better than them in their chosen field. Hats off to you brus, you’ve got another fan and I’ll be cheering for a title for you 💪
Now if we can get him away from that clingy girlfriend I’ll like him more. Was at fanfest in Indy this year and she is sickening. She was on his ass the whole time. Dude was trying to get worked on by his trainer and she wouldn’t leave him alone.
@@coburna5 Yeah she's too involved 100%, that's my opinion. I don't see that one lasting forever after, unfortunately.
Love the open words, dude is fantastic, but Cameron is absolutely amazing. All of the top 5 guys are quite up there
Respect to Mcadoo! Well spoken and respecting the work of his competitors. Earned another fan here 🤙
Awesome story guys... You def on a winner for these Gypsy Tales...
Jettsons has great reaction speed with errors, from riding on the limit. Insane bike control, ability to soak up over or under jumping/landing.
People are always looking for some easy answer here. Jett is not doing anything unique to the other riders. When JS7 raced you could point to specific section or scrub he would do that would make him faster. The sport has elevated to the point that the top 5 guys can all go as fast as the bike and tires will allow on a given track. What makes Jett special is he can ride that pace with less effort, less mistakes and is better at adapting to what the tire is capable of on the fly.
I've watched a LOT of dirt racing, raced moto since I was 6, grew up at the Sprint car track etc, and from what I can tell, Jett's bike is more of an extension of his body than maybe anybody else and the result there is that he keeps his momentum up better than anybody else. The only other guy that is even kinda similar style is Kitchen. They manipulate the bike a little bit like you would with body position in a video game or something. Jett outdoors specifically has a way of never getting into the deepest part of the track and getting bogged down which keeps his momentum up. I noticed specifically at Millville going into the sand whoops, there's like 3 deep gnarly braking bumps, and he basically "skimmed" them and hopped from one to the next to the next, like a Trials rider or something. THAT is what makes him so good, Also in traditional SX whoops, he jumps in and does a wheel-tap triple instead of just getting on them "normally" like most people do. So there ARE some things that you can point to, but to be able to replicate it yourself good fkin luck! lol
@@djjazzyjeff1232 I’d agree that outdoors he did some unique lines that you could point to as reasons he was faster but for the most part Sexton did pick up on them. But even other riders use this hopping around the track staying out of the bumps technique and still are not the fastest.
When you look at SX multiple guys are able to have the fastest lap, even mid race a lot of times but Jett is just able to move around on the track making passes when other guys can’t. To me that’s all coming down to sensing how much traction he has. Sexton has similar riding style and also maintains momentum but is not as good at knowing the traction limit.
Jett has turned SX into motogp. If you are not near the limit of the tire the entire time then he will beat you. If you go over the limit you will crash. Racing has become about who can ride that edge the most.
@@motofreak2772 Right. You maybe able to point to a thing here and there but it's being able to execute that puts him above the rest. He's also extremely efficient with him movements, and extremely well balanced. His head is more stable than the rest of the field, and again it's east to point to but to be able to DO it is very difficult. It's a bit like the , "Fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks, but the one who has practiced 1 kick 10,000 times." It's really that simple I'd say.
@@djjazzyjeff1232I've always thought he rides like he's playing MX sim or MX bikes 🤣
He actually is doing some different things. For instance he does a little squat just before the jump that makes him accelerate forward while staying low. It's hard to see in real time but in super slow motion it's apparent. Watch some of Johnny Hoopers breakdowns.
Love learning about the pros background and those stories…gives insight into them being human!
Fleshwound kx 80 with the flames!! Had that and my dad had a yz250 with the same graphics.. black plastics and the hints of blue and green with the flames was so fire
I'm convinced what makes Jett so fast is the marriage between Technique, Momentum & timing.
The bike is fundamentally an extension of his body.
4:30 That phenomenon happens with ALL athletes, not just moto. The gnarliest hockey player/wrestler/whatever is the kid with 2 older brothers, for example.
McAdoo is the man
It seems to me that on top of being physically fit, talented on on bike that being FOCUSSED is the key. Jett has just that edge, and another aspect that riders need to pick up. There is a ton of distractions out there and it doesn't seem to phase him at all, but being that talented on a bike without distractions = winning. There are so many guys that can get that! He's not a robot!
100%, I'd say Cam's teammate Forkner is the opposite end of that spectrum, that dude breaks himself off ALL the time and it's always because of lack of focus, IMO. And I say that because his crash this year where he flew off onto the concrete was 100% lack of focus because I crashed that EXACT same way one time and it was focus that caused it for me, and it was like a carbon copy of his, where he thought his front tire was off the ground but it touches and yanks you off the side. Thankfully I didn't have another jump to fling me into the sky though I just slid across the ground like a crashed airplane lol.
sounds like it's because he's younger than everyone😂😂😂 and to be honest that all it is
@@jammer212I think younger rides have fewer worries and have a “full send it mentality
I think he could have passed them last night. Look at how many races he'd make a mistake, get back a little then pass them all again. Awesome to watch
Seems like a good switched-on dude
Dude, he blitzed them already
When jet was still on the 65 at qmp I made a joke that it's going to suck for Hunter to be forever in this lads shadow to Darren ....
FFS, get his sister on the show.
Typical RC advice. Lol
Talks about "grass roots", but hates privateers and wants them gone lol. Get a clue!
Pretty sure he’s never said he hates privateers and wants them gone… pretty sure he wants them to make more money in a more realistic environment until they move up to the big show. Growing the sport bigger and better for more teams, more money ect… media shit always gets taken out of context… do you not listen to all of the podcasts or just the bits you choose to listen to 🤷♂️
@@andrewhof3783He just posted a video of them talking about getting rid of privateers.
besides Jett 450 is full of mediocre riders
Mediocre? Something like 17 of the riders he's lined up against this season have at least a 250 title. Nobody with a title is mediocre. If the guy's he's racing aren't great who is?
@@seanhaberman4619 when they are all mediocre… a mediocre rider has to win. they’re not racing.. just riding.., jetts racing.
@im_a_bigdog7772 If you think everyone is mediocre in the 450 class besides Jett, then who in the sport is good?
@@seanhaberman4619 right now.. in 450 sx… nobody. They are to careful to race,, it’s why a racer like jett is making it look like they are mediocre and just riding.
@@im_a_bigdog7772 In any class of the sport.
Okay can we be real and have a little bit of sense here. Jett is only doing good right now because tomac, Webb, ect. Are all getting old and slower. He’s the youngest and healthiest 450 rider. He needs the 250 class rider that are young like shamoda, deegan, kitchen, ect. All to move up and give him a run for their money.
He won 4 250 titles back to back against all them riders.. no one in the 250 class was close to him. He won every title multiple rounds early. Why do people think the current crop of 250 guys are going to move up and battle him..majority of the 250 riders are older than Jett. if Jett was still in the 250 class, he would still be one of the younger riders of the group.
@@decano5147 crazy theory. He was RACING 250 THEN and NOW racing 450. All the guys he’s racing are old or getting injured. Your statement has ZERO relevance. And there’s another crazy theory. THERE ARE NEW 250 RIDERS NOW THEN THERE WERE WHEN WAS IN 250.
@@ryancrump8650 honestly please never procreate
@@ryancrump8650whose giving Jett a run for his money?
@@octaviuscurry3818 Jesus Christ if you could fucking read. IF THE 250 GROUP MOVED UO LIKE THE NAMES I STATED. THOSE PEOPLE WOULD GIVE JETT A RUN FOR HIS MONEY.
