In the high-energy world of motocross, Western Australian talent Makayla Rimbas is quickly becoming a name to watch. Known for her grit, technical skill, and competitive spirit, the young racer has been making waves on the Australian motocross scene. As she looks ahead to a promising future, she credits her inspiration to none other than Jett Lawrence, the Australian motocross phenomenon who has taken the sport by storm.
At just 21 years old, Jett Lawrence has become an international motocross star, celebrated not only for his skill but also for his unique style and charismatic personality. His career reached new heights when he moved up to the 450 class and dominated the competition, winning the 2024 AMA Pro Motocross Championship. Lawrence’s impressive achievements have made him a role model for aspiring riders like Rimbas, proving that Australian talent can shine on the global stage.
“Jett’s journey has been incredible to watch,” Rimbas said in a recent interview. “He’s so focused and dedicated but makes it look fun at the same time. Watching him reminds me why I love this sport and motivates me to keep pushing myself.”
Rimbas, who competes in regional and national events across Australia, shares Lawrence’s unyielding drive and passion. Known for her smooth handling and fast-paced style, she’s become a formidable competitor among her peers. Her dream, much like Lawrence’s, is to make it onto the international motocross circuit, representing Australia among the sport’s elite.
When asked which of Team Australia’s stars—Jett Lawrence, Hunter Lawrence, or Kyle Webster, she watches most, Rimbas smiled and answered, “Jett Lawrence, of course.”
The inspiration Rimbas draws from Lawrence isn’t limited to his success on the track. She’s also inspired by his down-to-earth approach and the genuine enthusiasm he shows toward his fans. Lawrence’s personality has helped to re-energize the sport, making it accessible and exciting to a new generation of riders and fans, including Rimbas.
“Seeing someone like Jett succeed makes you believe that anything is possible if you’re willing to put in the hard work,” she added.
With a long career ahead of her, Makayla Rimbas is poised to make her mark, carrying the spirit of her inspiration, Jett Lawrence, with her as she chases her motocross dreams.
