Rider Reflections: 2026 Spring Creek Pro Motocross
Catch the latest reactions from top riders after an action-packed AMA Pro Motocross round at Spring Creek.
Hunter Lawrence: “It was a good day. The first moto, I was happy with my riding. The second moto was interesting, we got off to a good start, but Jett had a really good flow and pace. I was trying to catch on and do the same lines, but I just wasn’t able to make it click like I did in the first one; sometimes it just comes a little easier than others. I actually didn’t know that Jett crashed; he was up there inching away, and all of a sudden I couldn’t see him. I didn’t have a great lap, and I was like, ‘He’s on another level this moto!’ I think it just comes down to small things making a big difference—the first moto went my way, and the second moto went his way before his crash. We’re at a very similar level, and that level is so high, so it’s just kind of, ‘Which brother is it going to be this weekend?’ We just focus on what we think we need, preparation-wise, to be as ready as possible for the weekend. We don’t work against each other during the week, trying to get an edge, because you don’t get to work on your craft as much in that kind of atmosphere.”
Haiden Deegan: “The track was gnarly. I screwed myself in the first moto, but it’s all good. Another completed round, P2 overall. It’s good to keep putting strong finishes on the board. I’m not going to quit trying to get better. Bring it on.”
Jett Lawrence: “It was a rough day in the office. The first moto, I was feeling good, but I just didn’t quite have it for HJ [Hunter]; I picked the smarter route and said, ‘You know what, you can have this one.’ I made some changes for the second moto, and I felt like Superman; I had good lines, and I was able to get around Hunter. I just made a small mistake in that soft section—put a little bit too much weight on the front, and it was enough to put me down. It looked like I got hit by a shotgun because the bike got the back of my knee, and it collapsed me. I got very lucky, and I’m just thankful to be okay after a rough weekend. I think I just need to get back closer to my normal schedule during the week. Being familiar with your bike and being comfortable with it is a big thing, and I think that’s why I crashed a lot today. I know what I need to do to be the Jett Lawrence everyone knows, but physically I’m not able to do that right now because of my ankle. I’m just trying to do the best I can and keep building.”
