IMMORTALIZED: Jett Lawrence Honored with Statue in Hometown for Motocross Achievements
Motocross sensation Jett Lawrence has been immortalized in bronze, as his hometown of Landsborough, Queensland, unveiled a statue in his honor to celebrate his meteoric rise in the sport. The 21-year-old Australian rider, now a global motocross icon, has become a household name due to his dominant performances in the AMA Supercross and Motocross Championships.
The statue, located in the town’s central park, captures Lawrence mid-air in a dynamic racing pose, symbolizing both his flair and fearless riding style. Hundreds of fans, local officials, and family members attended the unveiling ceremony, where Lawrence expressed heartfelt gratitude for the continued support from his community.
“This is surreal,” said Lawrence during the event. “To be recognized like this in my hometown, where it all began, means the world to me.”
Lawrence’s journey began on the local dirt tracks of Queensland before he moved to the U.S. to chase his motocross dreams. Since then, he has captured multiple AMA titles and become one of the youngest and most successful riders in the sport’s history.
Mayor Lisa Radford praised Lawrence as an inspiration to young athletes: “Jett has shown the world what determination, talent, and support from your roots can achieve.”
The statue stands not only as a tribute to Lawrence’s achievements but also as a lasting symbol of pride for Landsborough — a reminder that greatness can start in the smallest of towns.
