I know enough already....
But this is from a different angle.
I stumbled upon this today and damn how ironic, this kid is really something else!
Nothing but huge respect for him and for that matter the whole damn Family!
I said before I was never a real Brian Deegan fan until I watched some interviews.
Ny gawd what a smart businessman he was/is.
He portrayed the good (Pastrana) vs evil (Metal Mulisia) and has laughed all the way to the bank a few times over.
His family has got to be one of the most successful race stories ever and it's only just starting with his kids as they enter the Professional ranks.
Sometimes its just better to be lucky than good.
"His family has got to be one of the most successful race stories ever"..
I mean.. he is only a hand full of racers in.
And id say their is a few families who have got some crazy stories on there way to success.
Right. Family race stories …. think they can hang with names like Andretti, Unser, or look at NASCAR which is loaded with family stories, and this is just the US …. ?
Multiple families with father sons and/or brothers in f1 as well. Shit Michael Ralph and mick all raced in f1 from one bloodline and probably banked 1B in earnings between them.

Gary, we’re old enough to have seen Brian’s ghost ride, I did.
"Lucky"
Watch that 2nd video Brian nearly died a couple times with horrific injuries and 6 months later he was back on the bike to compete.
He also created the Metal Militia brand and was smart enough to patent and market it and become a millionaire from it.
They would prop Haiden in a high chair in the backyard of his compound to watch his Dad and crew practice day after day and would throw a fit if they tried to bring him inside.
Both his kids were riding and driving at a very young age non-stop and so far it has paid off very early in their careers.
All this has also turned into many millions of dollars.
I have a hard time thinking this is "luck". 🙄
Love it or hate it, that kid has been one of the top couple of most interesting stories the Supercross season. It's been a fun follow.
Uhhhh At 17 years old he's been on the podium twice, has two 4th place finishes and was doing good till he had a tip over in the whoops at another race.
Last week he schooled a Veteran of the class and is third in the standings.
I can't think honestly anybody expected this and he's exceeding expectations and not many racers of this era have done that.
He's had HUGE pressure with the Utube channel and all his fans and cameras everywhere he goes and it does not faze him.
Haiden is the REAL DEAL that much I'm sure of.
If he continues to have an ego like his dad he won't go far.
Ok I guess there's a handful of racer families that were racing Cars in CIRCLES.
Name ONE more FINANCIALLY $$ successful DIRTBIKE Family.
I'll be patiently waiting....😂
No ego. I’ve watched many Deegan videos, clearly you haven’t.
Yep Brian went against the grain so much that I'm sure NOBODY would have predicted his SUCCESS in Life.
It's laughable how many jealous haters there are....
Unser had many "drunk as fuk" stories no doubt...
Dude
So you assume I haven't watched videos because my opinion is different than yours?
Name one dummy....
one major thing about young fast kids, is how often will they get injured when they crash. Haiden proved at ironman that hes not built of glass like most fast kids.
Its your breath......it smells like AZZZZ 🤣
Pit Row
Yes, correct. It’s obvious you just pulled that out of your azz..
The Unser’s are some mouth breathing hillbillies!
“His family has got to be one of the most successful race stories ever and it's only just starting with his kids as they enter the Professional ranks. “
His daughter is in the minors, and his kid has two podiums, and you’re claiming they’re one of the most successful racing families?
How about we pump the brakes and let the kids develop into something before we crown them the most awesomeness.
The Fox family.
Obviously you DID NOT READ this prior reply 🙄

I don't think the Fox Family made their millions as a Dirtbike racer Family.
Well if that's the case, neither is Metal Mulisha.
How much money do you think Brian made racing dirt bikes LOL?
Ok valid point but the Metal Mulisia (and no I wasn't a fan of that) but they were RIDING DIRTBIKES and created a whole new sport known as FMX.
And Brian did race as a MotoXXX rider.
I was at the race in Washougal when he had the Full on GOLD GLITTER bike and helmet and hired Strippers in his pits.
Outlandish-sure but it sure did grab some attention.
Brian started as a racer and saw their was a better opportunity to make more $$ creating a brand and was at the ground floor of starting and expanding a sport known as FMX.
How many of his peers from his era can claim to be a Multi millionaire many times over?
I would say he did the right thing.
Well, first you asked, "Name ONE more FINANCIALLY $$ successful DIRTBIKE Family" then you changed it to "I don't think the Fox Family made their millions as a Dirtbike racer Family."
-The Fox family is a dirt bike family.
-Brian didn't make his money as a racer.
Now you're switching things up to simply riding a dirt bike.
I would think Pastrana, Reed, RC, Stewart, ... all made more money riding/racing dirt bikes than Brian.
Brian made the bulk of his money from other ventures that didn't involve riding/racing a dirt bike.
Wow!
What I have learned from creating this thread that I thought would acknowledge giving credit where credit is due is--there are still a lot of Deegan haters out there...
Post a reply to: More Deegan talk!!! 😃
