Steve, I like how you keep saying “The Kid should have the bike,” but constantly try and make it out as though he is the one lying. Is this your best attempt at smoke and mirrors?
So you say there is no way that Luce, Walker, MX Sports or the Dealership could lie? It HAS to be the kid? Do you really think any of the people with a lot to lose are going to come out and admit they lied?
1) Donnie Luce on your show last night stated he was almost to the hotel when he found out about the claim. He told Michael Lindsay he was at the track when he found out. Also, you say he offered up 2 motors earlier in the week on your video, yet he told Michael Lindsay he learned that the kid was having motor issues at Matt Walkers RV meeting. So obviously Donnie isn’t being 100% honest.
2) This kid had been adamant about claiming the bike UNTIL the meeting at Matt Walkers RV. The dealer that sponsors him takes him behind closed doors and then all of a sudden the kid decides to drop the claim? It’s OBVIOUS his dealership threatened him in some way. And the ONLY reason they would threaten the kid is if the dealership was threatened in some way. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see what went on here. Quit sucking up to Yamaha and do your damn job. It’s your responsibility given the profession YOU chose. WE the viewers pay your bills, not Yamaha. Without us, you have no business.
3) Donnie Luce says Star was ready to hand the bike over, yet Star says they DID NOT want to hand the bike over. These two parties alone can’t even get their stories straight.
4) The ONLY people this whole claim involved was the kid and the AMA. He filed the claim, he paid the claim and end of story. ALL of this Luce, Cotter, Deegan, Walker and dealership crap is pure crap. NONE of them had ANY business being involved in it. The fact that anyone involved one of them, let alone all of them is BS. The AMA in charge of processing the claim SHOULD have stopped all of this. Actually, they shouldn’t have allowed ANY of this to happen in the first place. NONE of these meetings should have happened. The kid was strong armed, period. If you can’t see that, it’s time to go back to wrenching. Either that or change the name from PulpMX to PulpfictionMX.
Quit blaming the kid for all of this. He filed the claim and paid the claim. The rest of this is just horseshit. If it DID go to court, no way this kid isn’t getting the bike simply because he did everything legal. All this other stuff was not part of the process and never should have been allowed to take place.

A 17 year old kid is not going to have perfect recollection of the whole thing, and to expect him to is unreasonable. He was bullied by adults he's looked up to, and is now being interviewed by so many people.
Meanwhile ALL the adults who are being interviewed have something to lose....
Too many threads on this drama. We need a merge.

What did we learn, if you aren't popular like the Alessi' people nobody will care about someone claiming your bike. If you are a billionaire, because that is Brian Deegan due to being a FMX rider in the right era creating a few brands like Metal IDFK, and you are backed by a powerful team. Rules are there to break or to manipulate.
Babyface Haiden!
This situation has proven he is a tool.
His whole "kid says there were only 2 people in the room but there were actually 3 people" bitch fest is so petty. I assume he has never heard the term "selective attention."
The discrepancies between his interviews on pulp mx show vs ML's interviews are shocking. I don't need to rehash the inconsistency of the people he is choosing to side with on this. Let's just say the majority of inconsistency does not come from the side of the 17 year old.
So be honest, being a true opportunist who do you throw under the bus?!
I'm a huge fan of Pulp's volume of work, but this incident really sours me.
Derrick also states that Walker threatened him several times, BEFORE asking him to leave his camp.
I’m not a fan of the Derrick guy, judging from previous posts on here, but I believe that he’s probably more credible than Matt Walker, who was clearly (1000%) lying and leaving out important details. Steve knows this too, you could see the whole room not buying into Matt’s call.
To put the whole issue simply, it made everyone look unprofessional.
The kid claimed the bike, there never should have been further discussions/negotiations.
But JT to me had the best takes.
He was the voice of a true professional amongst a bunch of amateurs.
Was the AMA official standing right next to Deegan and Cotter or off to the side? I really don't know. Do you know where every person was located during the meeting? If you do, spill the beans as that could change things.
The point is most of the inconsistencies have come from the side Matthes is siding with.
J. Claiming
1. All sanctioned motocross and youth meets are claiming
meets. The claiming price shall be 30 percent over (50
percent over for Supermini) manufacturer’s suggested
retail price using the Black Book AMA Official Motorcycle
Value Guide, Kelly Blue Book or NADA appraisal guide
and include the complete motorcycle, supermini or
minicycle. Vintage- and ATV-class equipment shall be
excluded from the claiming rule.
2. Any rider (claimant) may enter a claim for a motorcycle,
supermini or minicycle ridden in an event in which the
claimant has competed. A claimant may enter a claim with
the referee any time during the meet but no later than 30
minutes after the race results of the event in which the
claimant has competed are posted. There will be no
additional time added to this process in the event of a
claim.
3. Cash, certified check or bank draft must accompany a
claim. The owner of the claimed motorcycle must
immediately deliver it intact, along with a clear title or bill of
sale.
4. If more than one claim is received for the same motorcycle,
the meet referee will hold a drawing to determine the
successful claimant.
5. If a rider whose motorcycle is claimed refuses to comply,
they must forfeit the trophy, is disqualified from the meet
and will be suspended for one year.
6. A rider may not enter a claim on their own equipment.
7. Any rider deemed by the AMA to be complicit in
circumventing the claiming rule (i.e. placing a claim with
the intent of returning the motorcycle to the original owner),
will be subject to a 1-year suspension of competition
privileges.

That would obviously go against what Brennen and Derrick said and they were very detailed about the time line of events.
“ hey kid here’s the deal. We understand what your looking to do but let’s make this right. We will give you some side support and let you ride the bike but we can’t let you buy this thing. What’s your counter offer.” Effin simple.
I don’t know any of these guys, but someone is lying and it’s more than one person. Lol
Again, and regardless of all of it, he should have the bike and none of the other garbage should have happened to begin with. Don't underestimate the naivety of a 17 year old and all of this coming at him from these adults and their jacked up actions resulted in him rescinding the claim. Thats unfortunate and I still cannot figure out where his Dad was for these several hours.
Cotter should be gone and MX Sports should be ashamed of the way their representative handled this.
Why did Brian, who has zero stake in Star Yamaha have any say in Questioning the kid? as others have said, he could've lit it on fire since it was going to be HIS bike. Once in a lifetime opportunity down the drain.
Whole process should be fully anonymous next time.
