Working for a living and getting screwed over by family members has put a sour taste in my mouth everytime I hear the word 'business man'
Stewart
Everts family is pretty successful. Vohlands may be another.
You better change your location to Reno, because you're going to get droped if Deegs find you.

With the help of social media Brian could go down in history as more aggro than tony alessi and big james combined. Dangerboy WILL get turned down for a ride bc of his dad at some point. Stamp it. Gonna be wild.
I don’t understand the whole “HeS OnLy 17!!” Part. That’s pretty normal in our sport.
Deegan and Smith must not be that mad at each other- outdoor testing together on Deegan’s channel today’s episode just released..
Ask G-man about how he protested Doc at a race after Doc opened his home to G-man and that will tell you everything you need to know about him.
I suggest you look at Geboers and Everts. Not only champions, but very good ambassadors for the sport. I also would like to mention he would be the third fastest in the Lawrence family on a bike.
This. Big time. In motocross, champions only emerge through combat. All else is hype.
The Lechien’s
This fanboy from grown men stuff is weird
Now we're talking about something interesting
Bingo. Metal Mulisha started with the San Clemente boys and wasn’t moto oriented. It was a group of friends who would ride, surf, skate, etc. it was core in the sense of being counter culture. Deegan being from Nebraska somehow weaseled his way in when he came to CA and took it to the masses for a profit.
Motorcycle racing is full of them. Rea, Dunlop, Marquez, etc as well. Plus the Stewarts. The Deegan have 1 race win between them. Let’s pump the brakes
Lesson leant, never under estimate young and starving sharks from Omaha
Personally, I think all credits back to Brian, nobody did anything or any brand except the MM back then and it takes a lot to make any business profitable, business is not just an idea but a lot of hard work and a vision behind, so there is nothing to shy away.
Hmmmm.
Super-talented kid trains, races, and finally wins a 125 Supercross.
Goes on to become the star of a whole new sport.
Capitalizes by getting the absolute most of it, through sacrifice and hard work.
Gets shat upon by those who think he's not "core" moto enough.
Raises his kid from day 1 to be better at "core moto" than he was.
Kid succeeds, beyond any expectations in his first year as a pro.
Yeah, let's hate on that. makes sense.
Exactly. That is core. Nothing to shy away. Let the haters hate.
P.S. And I am not such a big fan, not 100%, but I give credit where credit is due.
He printed shirts and sold them. When it got to big for the to do it they subbed it out to someone else. They were making a rumored 60k a month selling them, It’s really not that hard. If you’re giving out credit, give it to Link, and then Deegs
The hard part was the riding and the injuries, the merch business had one employee.
All the real money was made when La Jolla bought it.
Pit Row
Thanks for the history and details (I am outside of that), I am always up for it.
I know, it was not that big, really SME like (and even smaller probably) ; MM was never mainstream and freestyle was not that big either although yeah there were some golden years, I just think he made very well with the cards he had so I give credit. I prefer this story line than crack heads (I know nothing but it is everywhere too). Plus I never had the ball to back flip a bike so I get the risks involved, especially because in the US the medical bills are not something not to be taken in consideration. No billion, no fortune, but a f... living I wish I would have made for myself now that I am almost his age, just turning 41 this year. I could have rode for xxx with a bit of luck too (big balls and hard work), so of course i am biased because it is kinda my generation too.
In all cases what I find interesting is that it shows that a working SME can make a very good living, in whatever industry ; any business can do well so people need to keep pushing to get there if they have or if they find the opportunity to do so. That can give hope ; it could almost be a FELD story line
Anyway, I always enjoy your input, have fun !
Dude really? While Link was obviously there from the beginning, I don’t remember Link doing a 360 at the LA Coliseum and all the other xgames he won. He made the brand blow up, not Link.
His riding helped, but the brand was bigger than Deegs and freestyle motocross. It was the whole culture that was attractive, in the same way Tapout was. Nobody with a Tapout shirt watched mma, but they loved the Tapout culture.
Deegs and Link were smart enough to see that.
Mo' Money, Mo' Money, Mo' Money...
The universe will even the score with them somewhere down the line for burning the kid that claimed Haidens bike at Lorettas last year. That was just a low class screw job all the way around by the adults in his camp
