  • This is the time Ryan Villopoto LET his teammate Ben Townley to PASS HIM. His reasoning was to learn and WIN and it worked!!!
    Posting this clip after all the talk about Jett Lawrence letting Ken Roczen pass at SuperMotocross Finals
    2007 racing was so much fun!!!

      RV showed up, smoked everyone, made piles of money, and bounced. Good to see him in the booth every once in a while. He's a great dude.

    When i saw the Lawrence punishment and the rules the AMA listed, my thought's went back to that year when in the final SX race, Tomac persistently slowed down and let Dungey past, so that he could 'interfere' with Dungey's race.
    Had never really cheered for Dungey until that day.

      Jett waved him by that’s the difference. Eli was trying to bunch the pack up and hope Dungy made a mistake.

    • @snowblindoz
      @snowblindoz Před 8 měsíci +2

      No, Tomac consistently slowed up to let Dungey by, so that he could harass him from behind, interfere with him by making a hard pass or goad him into a mistake. It was very clear what he was trying to do and a bit sad and desperate by Tomac.

    It's not that jett let roczen pas. It was the way he did it, and the explanation after that made it come across as a total jerk move.. had he said i took a page out of villapoto's book.. we all would have been like yeah that kid is genius

      @dylanhallwatts8172 Před 9 měsíci +4

      100% agree. I can’t believe Jett admitted “I did it where there were no fans, but I forgot they have cameras everywhere” 😂 he’s young he will learn. Jett admitted he didn’t want to keep pushing Kenny’s pace, if only he would’ve said that last week instead of “oh my math was off” and “it was a gift for Roczen new baby” 🤦‍♂️

    Unorthodox which is what the man said is exactly how every invention every creation every moto, sense this is racing but to go even further, stepping ouy side the mines of the norm is how everything we have today, good, and of cause bad as well, so its got to be calculated, and from the mind of a person, that is thinking better in those monments then others, mankind that has overcome is by getting out of the same old line and actually thinking a little bit different , now don't get me wrong I'm not talking about communism and socialism out of the line thinking we already been through the 20th century and we already know what that kind of different thinking is, but that kind of thinking isnt for betterment of nobody but greddy authoritarians, thats not the thinking im talking about, but for the betterment of mankinds lifes, like in medicine in Engineering in all things throughout history from the time of creating and the invention of the wheels, to building the pyramids, somebody stepped outside and said hold on a second this is the way it's been done forever, maybe we need to think a little different here and in the long run that ended up giving us the creations and inventions that we have today, I mean unorthodox is exactly who you should want to be, and I'm not talking about religion either, I'm talking about the subject matter in this video, come for any of those that want to get confused
