Deano, why not throw in the towel

I think all the downvotes are for the clickbaity title.

Yeah, it's bush league, but my hope is always to have someone read a thread title and say, "WTF is this Jackwagon talking about?" and then open it up and see I'm making a fair point that is maybe out of the ordinary but just crazy enough to work. Like I said if 10 years ago I would suggest Brayton take the summer off and collect stacks overseas people would probably call me an idiot.

Funny enough I have heard Cooksey say they were two different sports.

In that case and you were Husky and wanted the best possible chance for sucess in both disciplines you would put Mookie in SX and Deano outdoors, wouldn't you?

Given your affinity for Cooksey I figured he was somehow your inspiration.

What in Dean Wilson's 450 career makes you think he's a better at MX than SX? So much better that he should give up training for one to focus on the other? Do you realize he has more 450 podium finishes in SX than MX? He's equally gifted at both disciplines. If I were Husky? I would want to get my money's worth by having Dean Wilson and the attention he commands from fans and his sponsor engagements as present as possible throughout the year. Same with Mookie.

As far as what makes me think he's better outdoors. he is no slouch indoors and usually one of the best guys in the whoops so there is no definitive reason. The only reason is that he is a former champ outdoors, so he does have what it takes and frankly a lot of guys don't care about outdoors as much and don't put as much effort in.

Lastly for getting money's worth, Dean is Dean no matter if he is 10th place or 13th place. The crowd will still love him, and he will be well worth having.

Deano is awesome; love that guy...he'd be fun to be around, and has style for days.

Hmmmm.
Let's try this from a different angle.

Go into work and tell the person who signs your paycheck, that you're bailing on your present responsibilities, to focus on future responsibilities, in a business where there's an endless flow of young talented professionals coming up through the ranks who would take your job in a split second.

I never sail bail on his job. Reread really slow and understand what I'm saying. Start concentrating on outdoors now, will it kill him to put in some longer rides and start working up to outdoor fitness as well as mixing in some outdoor motos?

I think not.

When you are a former champ outdoors why not start even earlier than that? Don't stop racing SX, just start putting your energies towards outdoors.

If you look at what I typed i didn't put a period on the end of "throw in the towel" the sentence concluded with "on this sx season."

I even freaking admitted it was clickbaity to get a discussion going. Then I went on to say what a badass I thought Deano was. I had a couple pops tonight and am a lil slappy, you sound like an angry drunk.

I get it, you don't like the clickbait, debate on the subject. I think a healthy, focused Deano would be a force to be reckoned with outdoors.
