Where is the hate?

All I read was muted, objective commentary on a dodgy move and look-back that if done sees pro riders rightly penalised.

Have the 450 classes just become another 250 class?

None of the top amateurs racing 450 B or Pro Sport are actually riding 450's are they?

Top 5 in his first race in the B class should shut up all the "he only got the ride cause of YouTube" mouth breathers Tongue
It should. But it won’t. I don’t really watch the YouTube stuff but the Deegan clan all seem like good kids.

Don't worry, we'll be able to hate on him fair and square next year when he turns pro.....or will he still be a child then?

That Jett Lawrence guy did awful good for being a child this year. Pretty impressive...... for a child.

Are you really that mad that the Deegans understand marketing and have used that to their benefit?

Show me on the doll where the Deegans hurt you.....

I’m not sure what you’re getting at. Your post makes absolutely no sense. Was I hating on Jett? I must’ve missed that.

Dumb that none of the results have rider numbers on, and the comms guys only mention them once in a blue moon.

Didnt understand they all are racing 250f until podium with that bike. Just looked they are whipping those 450f pretty good when watching without sound.

Cheaters eh? Please, tell us more about this cheating.....hard facts please, not rumors or shit you made up in your own head.

I'm aware of the motor in the 50 class years ago, but lets be real....half the field in any 50 class at a major amateur race is cheating, it's just that only the kids who are fast get torn down.

Yep about 50/50 for what is worse, grown men hating on a teenager or grown men making excuses for a teenager . Anyhow, how about that racing, be interesting to see if Ferry can keep the results going on that POS Australian bike on the outdoor track

I would agree with this....and truth be told I'm not a Deegan lover I just find it hilarious the lengths that people will go to hate on him just cause they have a YouTube following.

Ol' JB 19 can't seem to decide if he hates him for YouTube or for cheating or for whatever other reason he's gonna come up with next.....in most cases it seems it's just good ol' fashioned jealousy.

One thing is for certain, nobody should be able to say he only got the ride because of the YouTube following at this point, the kid is instantly a contender in the B class after just jumping off Super Minis.

Watching these Amateur races makes me feel like the future is bright for SX/MX the next few years.

All things considered (ie. riding time since injury and gate drops), I would say Matthew has looked really good. Once he gets a little more seat time he will be right up there with Romano. I'm glad Star has stuck with him.

Deegan is one of several impressive riders down there. Ferry, Cochran, Bennick, and I could go on and on. I think Deegan did awesome in his first major race on a 250. MX is next!

Where do people get the idea Deegan is going pro within the next year or two?!
Brian has openly said he has another 4 years minimum before he even goes pro.

When they announced his Star contract it was for 2 years amateur and 2 years pro.

He signed a multi-year amateur deal that will finish off his amateur career and lead into a pro contract

He said 22-b 23-A and maybe run the last few nationals in 23. He isn’t running amateur for four more years:

I think it was ironic because now a few people think that kids should turn pro at 15. But for me, I like what i see. I said 5 years ago that Renaux would be world champ. My opinion means nothing ok. Ferrandis thinks the same : "he is gonna kill it". Ferrandis was very impressed with his technique. He also said it is almost impossible he will not run for sx podiums in his pro career.

Anyway there is lots of jealousy too. Currently he is amongst the top amateurs, not RC, not JS7, but amongst the top 3 top 10 hopes in the US, nothing less nothing more. His exposure is bringing a ton of fast kids too, maybe a full generation that will run upfront, as they may have a little more exposure than the classes before or after and so more support.

Now about the channel, i am a grown up and I like watching it. Why ? Who else gives such a daily quality content on the journey to make it as pro ? Of course there are some parts or some videos that will interest you less, but did you see him ride at JS7 compound yesterday like they do every year ? To anyone not watching (or hating), maybe start paying attention, you don't have 1,1 million subs in without showing interesting if not actually some amazing stuffs. They are as moto or as rad as it gets and can inspire lots of parents and young racers.

Is this the most pointlessly undersized track that the top 250/450 amateurs race on? Ridiculous, local fairground races can have bigger sections.
I know I'll sound like one of those "uphill in the snow to school" old men, but when I raced there in the 90s, the supercross track was a true SX. My friend snapped a chain on his YZ 80 blitzing the whoops cuz they were so steep. It had a short but steep triple and one year they had an on-off step-up that the faster guys would triple all the way over the next single. Maybe it just seemed that way but sure seems different.

BTW, before anyone piles on, I'm not hating on the current track. I think the current track is much better for an amateur event.

You know perfectly well that #38 getting run wide then missing a section of track to attempt to regain position is a dick move- cheating- in the level he aspires to race in 2024 or 2025

Looked to me like he accelerated off the track then tried to get who ever it was back in the next turn. Looked liked cheating to me, but what do I know Whistling
