Jett Lawrence, the 21-year-old motocross sensation from Landsborough, Queensland, has been immortalized in his hometown with a statue honoring his extraordinary achievements in the sport. Unveiled in early June 2025, the bronze sculpture stands prominently in Landsborough’s town square, celebrating the young Australian’s meteoric rise and global impact on motocross.
Lawrence’s journey from a prodigious talent to a world-renowned champion is marked by numerous accolades. In 2023, he clinched the AMA Pro Motocross 450cc Championship with an unprecedented perfect season, winning all 22 motos—a feat achieved by only two other riders in history. His dominance continued as he secured the inaugural SuperMotocross World Championship and was named the 2023 AMA Motorcyclist of the Year .
The statue’s unveiling was a moment of pride for the Landsborough community, drawing fans, local officials, and Lawrence’s family. In his speech, Lawrence expressed deep gratitude: “This is beyond anything I imagined. To be honored like this in the place where it all began means the world to me.”
Beyond his individual successes, Lawrence, alongside his brother Hunter, made history by becoming the first siblings to win both the 450cc and 250cc AMA Pro Motocross Championships in the same season . Their achievements have not only elevated Australian motocross on the international stage but have also inspired a new generation of riders.
The statue serves as a lasting tribute to Lawrence’s dedication, resilience, and the indelible mark he has left on the sport. As Landsborough celebrates its hometown hero, the monument stands as a beacon of inspiration for aspiring athletes everywhere.
