At Blackflag, we’ve always backed the idea that great things can rise out of the Sunshine Coast. And Jett and Hunter Lawrence are living proof—two brothers who went full throttle from Landsborough straight to global domination.
Local roots, global dreams.
Born and raised on the Sunshine Coast, Jett and Hunter cut their teeth like so many Aussie kids—racing dirt bikes on local tracks, fueled by big dreams that seemed a world away. What’s special is that they didn’t just stop at dreaming. Together with their family, the brothers packed up their lives and took a gamble, chasing the U.S. motocross dream with everything they had.
It wasn’t smooth, it wasn’t easy, but that’s what makes this story real. From sleeping in borrowed spaces to scraping by in the early days overseas, the Lawrences turned obstacles into fuel. What they carried with them from home wasn’t just talent—it was the Sunshine Coast toughness and a no-ego attitude that turned heads quickly in motocross circles.
World stage domination.
Fast forward to now, and Jett and Hunter aren’t just “promising Aussies.” They’re superstars. Jett has stamped his place as one of the brightest young riders in motocross history, claiming championships and handling pressure beyond his years. Hunter, the older brother, has built a name on hard work, relentless consistency, and resilience that inspires fans around the globe.
What makes them different, though, is their style. They’re competitive as hell, but they’re still themselves—approachable, funny, and grounded. Watching them, you can see that Sunshine Coast spirit alive and well amid the biggest arenas of the sport.
A toast to local legends.
At Blackflag, we love celebrating the rebels, the creators, and the dreamers who look at the world and say, why not us? Jett and Hunter Lawrence embody that from start to finish. They’ve taken the grit of the Sunshine Coast and turned it into global glory, flying the Aussie flag high every time they hit the track.
So next time you crack a cold one at our taproom, raise it to two of our hometown heroes. From Mooloolaba to motocross stadiums packed with tens of thousands, Jett and Hunter prove that the Sunshine Coast can conquer the world—one race, one jump, one victory at a time.
