This sport doesn't like media guys who make shit up to get clicks on youtube.

There's a reason no one will give this clown a media pass.

Ummmm.... Matthes has dudes like Raper on his show all the time.

Honestly, I do agree that the more content the better so good for Hopper if he can start putting out legit content and not just click bait..... but to act like he is the first guy to talk to and give limelight to privateers/back of the pack dudes is pretty disrespectful to Matthes.

Yeah when Hopper raises and gives well over a $100K to privateers I may give him a listen....nah probably not he's still a clickbait douche.

The title of Hopper's video on the Deegan thing at Loretta's was:

"Deegan Accused Of Cheating? | MX Sports Yamaha Bailout? | Breakdown | RULES"

This is what chaps everyone's ass.

Nowhere in any of that debacle did anyone involved accuse Deegan of cheating.

But Hopper creates a headline suggesting as such...then that video has 64K views....money goes into Hopper's pocket. Doesn't matter to him the collateral damage to Deegan and Star that his action might cause. He got paid and picked up another dozen subs. Mission accomplished from his perspective.

There are other examples of this type of thing, I just picked this one since it was mentioned...hence 441's comment above.

One thing I'll say... Hopper "does the work". It ain't easy to just keep churning out content like that. Takes time and commitment, not to mention he's probably invested some of his own $$.

If he can find a way to turn a new leaf and go "legit" I say good for him.

He probably still won't be my cup of tea but there is plenty of moto media that I don't have the time or desire to consume.

Any press is good press.

Well, you definitely have a higher chance of getting a press pass than Walty Wanders or Chris Cooksey. I’d say it’s between you and Pingree to get one for next year. 😅

Glad to hear this. It took a while but finally got Cooksey out of my YouTube feed since he brings nothing to the party. He is so negative while Johhny Hopper strikes me as sincere and wanting to make a positive impact on the sport.

I’m a big Hopper fan. Although I might not always agree with what he has to say, he talks about what other news sources don’t have the balls to talk about. “Whenever you find yourself in the majority, it’s time to stop and reflect.” - Mark Twain

I like the direction he is taking his YouTube channel. Seems to be putting a heavy emphasis on privateers. He is talking about trying to get a press pass from Feld and I hope he gets one. It's good to have a guy give some love at the races to the guys that are filling the field.
Hopper is the butthole of the moto media industry.

Can you tell us what he’s done that’s so bad?
Wasn’t he the one that broke the “Deegan claim” story?

EVERYONE says they want more moto-media from sources that aren’t beholden to the people running our sport; but, all they do is bitch about any new source that comes along.

Well, currently, none of the four mentioned have any media access for Supercross and Pro Motocross in 2023.

Walty Wanders will never get one…

I’d say Cooksey has a .000000000000000001% chance of every getting one again. He had a pass at one point.

Hopper… I’ll never say never. Could happen. I think he has a better chance than Cooksey of getting one…but slightly less chance than Ping getting one again. He’d have to have a very interesting conversation with certain people at Feld and MX Sports. It’s not going to be pleasant.

Ol' Pinger can't even get a media pass now?

What'd he do?

I didn't imply he was a visionary, just that this new take is better than what he was doing. I wrote something informational so people could make their own minds up. My opinion to you is irrelevant as yours is to me. I put examples up just so if someone was interested in what they had to say. Hell, I'm not a Stank-Dog fan at all and I was fairly interested in what he had to say. I even said that JH needed to smooth out the Privateer Cribs but I like the idea of checking out rigs. I always like seeing moto vans.

Bottom line is more moto content the better.

More is better isn’t always the case. Hopper, Cooksey, the dude who self titled himself coach rob, and the other dude who just started aren’t even considered media. Posting click bait videos and just making up shit as you go isn’t media or another take on something. It’s sad these grown men try to be something there not so they simply don’t have to go get a real job. These guys are losers. Bottom of the moto industry.
Oh, so they're just like CNN Smile .

Probably both of them will need to have some level of interesting conversation to get access at the races... Hopper for sure.

I've never heard the backstory on this. What did Ping do to lose access?
