Lit Kid
As a way of announcing the signing of Team Honda’s Jett Lawrence to a new Red Bull contract, the innovative energy-drink company decided to showcase the 17-year-old’s prowess on a very narrow and barely lit supercross track in Florida. Carved from a full-size track by Jason Baker, the special circuit was a handlebar wide and lit with fluorescent tubes that partially lined the obstacles. As soon as the sun went down, the light came on and
@jettson18 got to work. The final video, shot by our buddy Wes Williams and friends, is called “Jett Lawrence On Rails” and can be found on YouTube.
