Pic of Brennan Schofield next to Deegan on the starting line. He's the one being accused by Cooksey who claimed Deegan's bike.

Not sure how this can be related, or if it was posted already, but here is a video from this April, where they're both racing against each other at Southwick 250LL qualifier. Haiden was leading the pack, as he felt down, and Brennan passed him and then they had a little bit of battle where they both went down. It seemed that Brennan was not too happy about the incident (pointing fingers). Video tags, if you don't want to watch the whole thing are: 0:52 Haiden #38 with a camo jacket, Brennan #409 on left side of the view at the gate. Haiden falling down and then chasing Brennan for few corners and both crashing starts at 3:09.

***EDIT - not sure on the pointing fingers after watching a vid and another view on Deegan's channel here (starts 5:57: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZ0Ime7iRSI. Could be just a sign to his mechanic, that he can't start the damn thing Smile

I do not care too much on what is going on with this whole thing, I am just fan of racing honestly. Haiden is obviously really good, great on the bike, and I do not believe Yamaha would do any crazy bike stuff to risk their and Deegan's reputation. Nor I want to believe Brennan acts like this to damage Deegan's outlook and reputation, but I do understand, that if you are giving it all and everything to be successful and there is the one next to you, who you might feel like, has always had the best conditions (Let's be honest, Haiden had/has all possible tools to be successfull - material-wise) it can get under your skin. It's in all sports, some just have straighter paths than others, but its just the way it is. At this level the Good ones are separated from Great ones, and one thing is for sure Haiden is already a great one, no matter the equipment or material stuff. The talent is noticed.

Note to parents: Don’t send your kid unaccompanied with a wad of cash to go claim a bike. They might wind up at the wrong place and be harassed and interrogated by someone who has no business inserting themself or being involved in the manner. No way I would have let one of my kids go into a situation like that by themself.

This probably sounds stupid, okay it does sound stupid but I couldn’t help but think about the story of Little Red Riding Hood after watching that video. Grinning

Exactly! No parent is going to let their kid go in a room without them in that situation....Kooksey just makes shit up...do you think he has an axe to grind with Cotter and MX Sports...ask Kooksey if he is allowed to go to any MXSports races and who it was that banned him....

Imagine if social media was around during “believe the hype”. That would have been so great. An Alessi’s YouTube would have ruled.

Weedge discussed it, the facts are that there was a claim and it was rescinded...then Vital took off and rumors and speculation became "truths" and then it got Kooksey'd....there probably isn't anything to see here...if it would have Ferry's or Clough's bike that was claimed and rescinded you would have never heard a thing....

If it wasn't a big deal to star then why not just give the bike up to the claimant? Why all this controversy?

I would claim a factory bike for a mere $17k any day just because of the R&D that star put into that motor. Time is money and testing/dyno time isn't free.

No doubts in Deegan's ability because the kid is a phenom. That said, with his talent he should be able to beat the field on a bike that doesn't exceed $20k.

Let's see the receipts and R&D time spent on Haiden's bike. I'm sure some heads would roll.

Just to fuel the fire a bit. Worth the watch, even if you don't like the guy. As always, it's a bit wild so who knows if any truth to some of this material.

Wonder how much of that story is true.

Paging DC!

Would love hear MX Sports side of the story.

I got a call with a story very similar of Cooksey’s that was from the engine guy (Derek Harris), I told said source to give my contact to the kid and his family if they want to go on record…

But no call, instead Harris or someone in taht group must have gone to Cooksey.

Funny how people think this is all one big joke. Like athletes/teams haven't been caught cheating in the highest levels of competition. Olympic medals have been taken away from some of the best athletes in the world.

There's a reason why the claim didn't happen and that's what people want to know. This secretive bullshit just fuels the fire. If there's nothing to hide then no reason to be on the hush

What planet are you from…?😏

There’s absolutely no chance Star would do anything unsporting.
Absolutely no chance they would attempt to pay someone off.

That motor had a HC piston, some GYTR cams and a graphics kit, but there’s no way they wanted to see that go for $17’500..

So much so they hid it in the truck shortly after swapping it for another one.. weird.

is it just me or is this situation starting to piss you guys off?

Motocross is/ was one of the quickest and easiest way to get into racing motorized vehicles. The cool factor is that our equipment is close. To make this happen....we have things in place (production rule for pros...claiming rule for amateurs). Just come clean and eat your soup.....tell us what happened so that we can be informed and pissed off instead of just pissed off.

Looks like this Harris guy has some pretty bad reviews on here if you search his name . People having problems in the past with him

That tells me everything I need to know about that family....If they wanted the story to be told in an honest and concise manner they would of called you back...their credibility just went to zero...
