Brians ego is fine.....he's a shrewd businessman and knows how to make his money......there is no amount of money or privilege  that could make Haiden do what he's doing right now.  Everyone knows you can't buy talent and hard work.... The Deegans should be applauded for doing what they have done and have stayed a close knit family.  I bet Brian's having a fucking blast living around his son who is becoming a very speedy pro.

“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.

He didn’t make his millions racing, he made his millions playing the part of a tough guy that millions of kids bought into, and then had the brilliance to sell the brand. Let’s not forget about all the others that played the same part that he absolutely burned out of millions of dollars.

Yes, he was shrewd enough to sell his brand.

Jealous much?

Who are the others he burned millions out of, where are the lawsuits in sue-happy California?

Brian must have been the only one to be smart enough to make sure he had everything legally documented in his name.

Who's fault is that?

I was right there with you at the beginning of this thread, but you completely deterred me with each subsequent response. I don't think it's cool for you to call someone a dummy when you are clearly talking about something you don't fully understand.

 

If you truly believe your thesis here, you're having a hard time proving it. Many families have been more financially successful. Single individuals have brought more $ from MX than the entire Deegan family ever has.

Why do people shout JEALOUS when someone is simply starting facts? I’m not jealous one bit, and I’ve done ok in life so there’s nothing for me to be jealous about. I don’t care for him because he successfull, I dislike him because he was such a dick for so many years. 
 

 He burned the whole Mullisha gang except Linkogel, who was smart enough to make sure he got his name on it too. He tried to burn him, but Larry still gets half. 
 

 I guess theoretically he didn’t burn the rest in a legal sense, but all those guy played their part, helped him build the brand  and didn’t get anything. 

Honestly, I kinda like the kids attitude and the heart he shows

 And like I said in my opening thread was "I was never a Brian Deegan fan either."

 But how many of us still act the same way we did in our twenties? And after watching some of his interviews and seeing what a shrewd businessman he really is and his total dedication to his kids, I changed my attitude towards him.

And that is what the thread intent was and how impressed I am by the 17 year old racer Haiden.

But the Haters will Hate on this Forum and unfortunately that will never change.

That would be an interesting comparison especially since these two were some of the FIRST stars in the original X games....

But you would also have to factor in $$ from Haile

"Deegan's net worth is estimated to be around $1-2 million, however exact figures are anyone's guess. The Temecula, California native has proven to be an asset to the sport just like Danica Patrick in introducing racing to a wider fan base."

Haiden's salary and all the merchandise he sells.

The Utube Channel $$

Metal Mulisia $$ and who knows what else?

But yes Pastrana also made the right move by foregoing multiple Championships to pursue FMX and his many other accomplishments. 

It's a shame his knees and body have paid the price though as did Brian's but his knees aren't the shape of cantaloupes....

Every time you reply by calling someone jealous or a hater you seem like a 12 year old. That might be worse than acting the same as you did in your twenties.

Danger Gurl is a net loss and Brain is keeping her seat with $ is my understanding.

"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". 🙄

 

I believe Larry L. Started the mm. Brian started a LLC under the name & took control of it. 1st time I saw the logo. I was like that’s a nazi helmet. What the hell is a nazi helmet doing on the x games. Which everyone tuned in to watch Travis who was the best by far& most exciting.  I lost a few family members in Holland. They where lined up as kids & machine gunned.  My mom was shot at by nazi air craft. I thought it was a cheap shot to make money. And Very hoaky acting like tough guys. Go to s Phily or Jersey these r real tough guys.  He did sell alot of toys tho.

not bashing on Deegans at all, I think Danger Boy has a bright future ahead of him, but at least a handful more sucsessful racing families come to mind - James and Malcolm Stewart, Stefan, Harry and Liam Everts.

I wonder if the other OGs of the Mulisha like Twitch, Scummy and Manley ever signed contracts with Brian.  I think later Link and Brian got lawyers involved and worked out a deal, but I can’t remember.  If you see the other guys social media most of them say they are “mm OGs” I don’t think there’s any bad blood but who knows.

People love to bash this family. We get it. You're "core moto" and don't like freestyle or bro image.

Take away the family's YouTube channel (Which is pretty cool), and whatever hate people have for his dad. The kid is a rookie, kicking ass and he's been fun to watch. Stoked to be on the podium, and humble in his expectations.

On that note, genuine question, how old are you? No offence, but this feels like one of those threads / replies that are far more prevalent during school holidays

I'm not gonna argue about Deegan Jr, no hate from me. He's looking pretty convincing, but it's a long road and he's still developing, so we'll see. He certainly CAN be great, but nobody can say right now that he WILL be. Similar deal with Jettson.

Meanwhile the autograph lines at Star Racing get longer, the followers keep increasing, and Dangerboy lives up to his namesake by rough-handling a teammate. Looks like things are going exactly to plan. 
 

Love him or hate him, the Deegan’s understand the value of “eyes on the product”. Their financial engine is supported by the casual fan, something few other riders can claim. If SX wants to expand, they might want to look a bit closer at that business model.

But the Haters will Hate on this Forum and unfortunately that will never change. 

He was still a dick until about 10-12 years ago. He changed when he figured out that nobody would help his son because of him. 
 

 I still don’t care for him when the cameras are off, but I will agree that he did a great job with his son and daughter, and it’s cool how close knit they are.
