Where is Blake Baggett?

Edited Date/Time 2/2/2023 1:13pm

When is AC9 and Steve Matthes going to start where is Blake Baggett series like they did with James Stewart?

I'm sure it would be great content for both and maybe finally get the full story?

I thought this was going to be a challenge, maybe a big poster with like ten thousand tiny bald headed dudes and we have to find Baggett somewhere in the crowd

From a quick look at his Instagram, it looks like he's right where he should be, doing the most important job of his life.

He was running pretty good in 2019 in the 450 class too.

Chatted with him briefly at San Diego SX in 2020 (in the autograph line)....nobody was there at the time, I thought that was weird.    Seemed like a solid guy.    ...but I'm not an insider.

He's hanging steel for his dad. Doing just fine. I've run into him a handful of times on projects.

Was just watching some races from a few years ago and the Lakewood race popped up where he passed Tomac around the outside. I forgot how fast he was when he was on. Or what about his launch into the whoops in Texas:

Sounds like he's back in CA, did he sell his place in FL? Also, kinda hard to believe he packed up and just retired over a contract dispute with Forest. Most guys would have looked for another gig I guess it was perfect timing for Blake and he just called it a career.

More to it than that, serious wrist issues were the main reason.

As high as CA taxes are you'd think it would be better financially to have stayed in FL.

Yeah you would think but sounds like they may be chasing a race series if his kid is racing in cali.

There may be a few more tracks in Cali that are a bit closer.

Wait a second - with the 250SX point out rule gone, and I don't believe he was a past champion, and Mitch needs bodies. 

Blake Baggett, Mitch Payton, and Blue - Vital MX Pit Bits: Budds Creek -  Motocross Pictures - Vital MX

yeah I know it's not gonna happen, he's retired, a 450 guy,  but the sport was better with him in it. 

It would just be .... cool.

Oh yeah definitely could make a main still with some prep time.

Would be awesome to see him come back even for a year for a true Goodbye tour.

Or even race WSX to just see him end on a good note.

Curious, as burned by everything as he was, does he ever ride just to ride?  Or is he one of the guys that just lost his love completely...Would love for someone like Mathis or Gypsy to get him on.

If Blake does a pod, it needs to be with James…he can COMPLETELY relate to all the things that Blake has been through.

He and his family have more than enough money to afford life in So Cal.

Who would ever want to live in Central Florida unless you had to for training?

bugs, insane rain, heat and humidity, fuck that day after day.
