Tell us a story Brett! You are on the road this week, what is the funniest/coolest thing to happen so far? Who's going to be your favorite to watch at Glen Helen this weekend?

Moto needs more humans like you. You're like an entirely new breed of hero for young riders with aspirations of loving motocross for the entirety of their life. That is huge.

Dude me to.

Actually, the first time I met the man known as BQ365 was with Ryan Voit at Cooperland in 2005(ish). Brett, at the time I believe you were wearing one of those two piece Arai helmets? It was custom painted of course.

A cool Brett story: While he had a bummed leg this spring, Brett and I were cruising around in Guys golf cart watching AJ throw down some nasty whips. They were awesome! Anyways, I was talking with Brett saying how cool it is him doing what he is doing. He said "Yeah, I just hope noone figures me out and how I'm not really that cool."

Keep doing what your doing dude! Its cool to see how far you and Dayton have come since one Facebook post a few years ago.

Any SX plans possibly? Maybe one of two of the west rounds of maybe Dallas?

Favorite track growing up? 500, Cooperland, 59th?

With this crew, it's a never ending story! Here's one for you...

Wednesday, Nate Adams, Billy Laninovich and I went out to Beaumont to do some trail riding and hit some jumps for a bit. As soon as we got there, my back brake was acting up and only working part of the time. We were about halfway into a trail ride and I was pretty close behind Nate when we dropped down a pretty good, rain rutted hill. My brake completely stopped working about 1/4 of the way down. I went full banzai down, jumping from rut to rut and luckily missed killing Nate by just a slim bit. He got to the bottom and was so pumped cause he thought I did it on purpose cause I was just a bad dude.... I should have just kept letting him think that!

Thanks buddy!

Nah, no SX for me!

Favorite track growing up was definitely Cooperland. When the place was prime, it was heaven on earth!

Holy roost knuckles batman!!! You made it! Hey Brett, you may remember me from way back in the Ronronmx forums. We actually met at Glen Helen for a short time when I was on a business trip back in 2004 or so. You were there for the LL qualifier (I think). Anyway, I'm really glad to see your success. How's your eye socket?

Thanks Jim! Of course I remember you! Those were the good old days, for sure!!

The eye is much better these days! Things could have ended way worse for me on that one. I still have some problems when I get in certain light or don't get enough rest, but I'm counting my blessings!

If you received a full factory ride to race a quad would you take it?

I would love to if I had a 125. We may have something coming up soon that will be even cooler though... It also may involve a certain #14. I won't say any names, but it rhymes is Shmevin Shmindham!

How did you get to where you are today? Did you have a plan, or did it just kind of work out? (I already read that you didn't really believed in becoming pro, and the next thing I know is that you wanted to attend Best Whip. But what happened inbetween?) And I guess Dayton is a huge part of the puzzle of your success? Thanks! And best of luck for your future!

I remember yz250 Brett Cue who used to post whip pics with his buddies on vitalmx.

Does the video crew for your Motosport videos work for Motosport too or are they employed some place else?

Does Dayton ever break loose and ride?

I see you as the Kim kardasian of motocross. I have no idea why you are so famous but you sure have some flashy whips. Obviously, some guys must be jealous you get so much attention. Will Hansen have his own team next year? Diana or Mercedes?

Thanks!!

From 2010-2012, I had a bunch of stuff happen off the bike that really made me not want to ride much. I definitely didn't have a plan to be able to do what I am now. I always loved to whip and always wanted to be in X Games whip, but was always too embarrassed to try. I didn't wanna fail. Then I went riding at a private track in Texas at the end of 2012. It was a track with a bunch of huge jumps and it was a super windy day. There was one triple step up that was a direct crosswind and the only choice if you were going to jump it was throw the bike as hard as you could to the left. Turns out there happened to be a photographer there on the day that I threw the biggest whips I had ever done! After that photo being my first Instagram post with over 100 likes, I was pumped... And at that time I had never even tried whipping it off a ramp and had only hit one a couple times for that matter. I made a Facebook post after that saying if I could get 365 likes, I would try to get into X Games. I never thought that was possible, but less than an hour after I had opened my mouth, there was no going back. All of the sudden, I had a seemingly realistic goal and dirtbikes were once again fun!

That's where Dayton comes in. We had both grown up in Oklahoma but never really hung out. He moved to Colorado to go to school but was coming back for each break to see his family. A bit before all that happened in Texas, he had messaged me on Facebook saying he was starting to make Moto videos and wanted to film with me when he came home next. We made a couple videos before we decided we needed to start our Road to X Games series. We paid for every bit of what we did and had so much fun doing it. It was the time of our lives for sure. As you know, I didn't end up getting to X Games that year. But MotoSport.com had been watching the whole series and as soon as it ended, they called Dayton wanting to hire him. He was only there a couple weeks before they ended up hiring me too!

And I still haven't made X Games... But even if I never do, I'll still be happy!

They also work at MotoSport. Dayton Daft and Bryson Steele are the two that make the magic happen!

I get Dayton on a bike once in awhile! Not as often as I would like, but I think that's about to change! He's actually a really good rider!

Even though I put off the perception that I don't really do much, I've worked hard to get where I'm at. I realize that not many people get to ride dirtbikes for a living and I'm very lucky to be one of them. Her and I both may be "famous" for no reason, but I try my best to be a positive influence along the way.

It's looking like Hanny will have his own team and hopefully MotoSport.com is able to be a part of it again. Josh is a good dude!

Anybody can do a whip, how long before you master the cross up?

Thanks, Brett, you're off the hook for this one. Thanks for answering all the questions. Smile

Thanks Brett, you're a bad dude. Really cool to see a "normal" human, that is on forums and so on make a living out of this. Literally living the dream!

He pees all over the toilet seat and often times on the floor as well. Really frustrating.

Brett, really excited to see you out ripping Zaca! How does it compare to most of the tracks you've ridden?

Also, please do more videos like the one at Canard's property with the helo filming crew. That shit was bananas!
