Me too. I'm thinking the bridge, cart, and the horse that was pulling it, were all crispy at the end of that dispute.

Riders are tools teams use by leveraging their popularity to directly influence the sales of products. Without the fans and consumers these riders and teams have nothing. Each rider has a perceived value that is factored based off of many things, one being popularity. Example I like Ken rockzen. As a result, I buy AOS. If he just up and left, I would no longer support his brand. It’s called being a decent human being and thanking the fans that had your back throughout your career by buying tickets etc..

Who cares. Aside from his chupacabra days, I don’t understand how anyone could be a fan, or at the least, care this much about the guy. Dude is all organic non GMO dairy free SUGAR free vanilla ice cream to me. BORING.

Yea all you all are just haters, bagget was awesome for the sport, and buisness is buisness this would be looked at completely different if this was a concrete company that fucked there workers over and they sued the concrete company, or whatever if anything even took place.

And as far as the mans skills on a bike it was always fun to watch.

Used to watch him on minis in florida on grommageddon dvd and the kid ripped and probably was probably getting geiger to love him at a young age, dudes a boss.

And to add to what i just said, pulled a amazing looking wife and children into his life, and has bought property, and is building his empire, just like his dad, these two guys chased their dreams and made them come true.

Hes a real dude, not just your training facility spit out, and stood up for what he believed in and charged on leaving the bullshitters behind, i mean for shits sake i just watched an amatuer kid on 85s get his damn pants pulled and zipped up by his daddy, who in their right mind wants to even be around any of that shit. Do that in the pits in europe in the emx85 pits and i bet you get made fun of for the rest of your time there.

Yes, and the same is said for you and me from our employers. We are all "tools" in a way, but what they give us in return is what creates the value for being that tool. Even if you own your own business, you are a still a "tool" as the success of that business depends on you. Not sure what that has to do with Baggett though?

Blake was a badass motocross racer, I miss him too. I'm sure he's doing great being a family man.

He needs to hit up a graphics company for the hard hat, his coworkers got him beat in the sticker department.

Huh? “Bro, do you even watch the races?” In SX, during his last 2 years…his last run with RMATVMC KTM…he WON A SUPERCROSS…and finished on the podium another 6 times after that.
How many other riders have pulled that off?

As for “Vanilla”? That’s just funny.

Then again, this is the internet…

So... after all that racing... all those injuries.... all those wins... no retirement? Out hanging steel?

If your aspirations are to be a pro mxer.... it looks really dim at the top.... might as well hang steel from day 1 and save yourself all the injuries... sandbag your local b class and be happy....

Maybe he's just a hard worker and he doesn't feel like sitting around all day doing nothing.

his father owns the company i believe and im sure he will be taking it over one day if he hasnt already

and only degenerates sit around and do nothing all day. alot of "rich" people still work, they just choose what they want to do.

I’m sure his balance sheet will look a lot different in 3 years than if he continued MX. Leaving the sport healthy with a good career before and after is a win.
