Jett Reynolds was the next big thing. Part of the Bakersfield bunch, Reynolds was insane on mini bikes. He won. A LOT.
Don’t believe me? Check out his titles at Loretta Lynn’s:
Unfortunately for Jett, once he moved up to big bikes the injuries came. In waves.
Last year we were finally going to see Jett in the pro ranks as he was set to debut with Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki at the 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross 250SX East Region opener In Minneapolis. Then came another injury.
During press day, Reynolds went over the handlebars in a rhythm lane and sustained a broken wrist. He would miss all of Supercross. Then all of Pro Motocross. Then all of the 2023 Supercross Championship.
There wasn’t much information coming out on Jett except that he would miss Supercross. Well, Jett took to Instagram recently and gave an update. 1) He’s back on the bike and 2) he’s had to undergo FOUR surgeries on his wrist.
“To all keyboard warriors that don’t know SH!T I got hurt beginning of supercross last year and had a total of 4 surgeries to get my hand fixed and missed the entire year of racing, I’m healthy a year later and preparing for @promotocross.”
It’s awesome to see Jett back on the bike and getting ready for Pro Motocross. Hopefully he can stay healthy and we can finally see his talent in the pro ranks.
