Only age could keep Jett Lawrence from turning pro. When he reached 16 in the summer of 2019, the affable Aussie made quick use of his three professional MX starts. Jett couldn’t wait to leave the amateur ranks and find his flow in Supercross and Motocross – even topping his older brother Hunter to score his first SX podium at SLC 5 in June.
Before most kids have their training wheels removed, Jett was ripping his PW50 Yamaha around Queensland. “I hated training wheels,” said Jett. “They cut down on my air time.” By four years old, he aspired to follow his brother’s path through the motocross ranks on the Sunshine Coast of Australia. “Hunter did the enduro thing. When I came along, I went straight into riding on the track. I didn’t do much trail riding. I went straight into racing behind him. I just followed his footsteps.”
