I feel like they create their own problems and blew many opportunities. It’s a super easy concept. The kid has insane speed. All her needs to do are be likable, professional, a make… and keep the right connections, and remain somewhat healthy…. Then having a long successful career on good equipment is very easily obtainable.
That family has been through a lot. I don't think it's fair for any of us to speculate what's going on behind closed doors.
This! Thank you Devin, some pretty ignorant comments in here.
Having a long successful career on good equipment is “Very easily obtainable”…lol! Get out of here with this shit!

100%, I think the reason this is even a thread is we all recognize the kid has crazy talent. The fact that he's even at this level and racing shows a lot of resilience in the family. This sport is incredibly cruel.
You should reach out to Ty and see what actually happened. We all know what kind of business 2x promotions does so that’s should answer a lot of the questions.
Yes but you will never get a straight answer on what happened. The kid will give his side true or not so honestly who knows what happened.
I remember his laps in the lead at Red Bud a few years ago were a thing of absolute beauty. Hope he gets to keep racing if it's what he wants to do.
Maybe Ty should reach out to ML if he feels there is an inaccurate narrative that needs to be corrected. From Star to Invictus to AEO to BarX he seems to have a hard time holding down a ride.
Not at all! it’s a shame that you think that! The problem is that factory teams want you to train where they say to and most teams have set tracks or facilities & require everyone on the team to train together! The masterpools have there own training facility that is one of a kind! they build a new track every night and you never ride the same track twice! Ty’s Dad jerry is one of the brightest dudes i’ve ever met and i’ve been around some smart MF… They believe in there program 100% Why go train in california and have to deal with so much extra BS When you have the best training facility In American? You don’t just get good at riding a motorcycle, you also learn how to deal with adversity and The value of hard work, No matter what you want to achieve in life weather that’s racing dirt bikes for a living or Working a 9-5! you’re going to learn more about yourself and who you truly are by the time your setting sail on your next venture! The Masterpools are an amazing family and they know what it takes to make it in this crazy world!
Surely if this is the reason why then after the first time you’d negotiate that as part of future contracts. Doesn’t take a smart MF to know that?
I’m sure he’s at a great facility and I am a fan of his. But I think it’s best to just “play the game” with certain teams and get established. Once you have reached tomac status and want to stay at your own place and training during the season then fine. But I could see how that pissed off certain teams.
I’ll be cheering for him from now on especially after adding some excitement to the 450 class last weekend. Hopefully he gets a deal for his efforts
I heard him say that he races a stock motorcycle except for a FMF exhaust pipe & suspension.
Why is that considered "a problem"? Most jobs require an employee to work at a specific location. Look at the Deegans, even with all their fame and their own training facilities, they've had to sell up and move twice now in order for Haiden to be on a team.
What if the ‘facility’ made it open as a team base? It’s not that long since everything was in Cali? Why not Cali, Florida & Texas. Could really help one of the smaller teams out🤷♂️
I don’t know jacksh#t so just an idea
people like you are pathetic! ty works his ass off and has more drive then most professional athletes he’s been dedicated to his family and his program since he was on pw50s he’s probably in his 600 sq foot gym right now getting after it! I guarantee nobody can outwork the masterpool family! tara would run laps around you!
He knew what he was getting into when he signed the contracts back with Star, its like any job you take, always terms and conditions, you can't go blaming teams....
But I am stoked with how well he is riding the 450 and hope he continues to get his shit together
People who spread rumors are like walking infections. The lying words from their mouths spread like disease from person to person, and carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.The only way to stop the disease is to keep your mouth shut.

I don’t know much either but sounds like a great idea haha.
Wow Avenger. How do you really feel?
Jerry is such an awesome dude! I don’t like it when people try to badmouth him or say any negative remarks! I know for a Fact he would be the first person to say he’s the problem if that was the case!! He goes above and beyond in everything he’s doing! Not to many people understands the way he thinks & processes things… He helps everybody! not just in motocross but also real life problems! Ty and jerry have a great relationship! & there always going to make good quality decisions that benefit his career! people shouldn’t assume they know what’s best for someone, especially a man’s son! parents are very invested in there kids motocross careers!
riders are contractors.
Why do I get the feeling that this guy is a member of the family or race team lol
If you listen to the interview he did with Jamie, this is not the case. He said he would live anywhere.
Lol.....yes and they are contracted to do their job to the expectations of the organization or person that hires them.
Riders are paid to produce results and do some brand promotion. How they prepare to produce said results is largely at their own discretion. If they're figuratively clocking in and out it's fraud to not put them on a W2.
"Another major difference between a contractor and an employee relates to their level of independence.
“Most people think the only difference between an independent contractor and an employee is how they are paid,” Michael C. Harman, attorney at Harmon Law, told Business News Daily. “In addition to compensation, independent contractors have more autonomy in their work.”"
This is just incorrect Tyler. They sign a contract and it has nothing to do with a W2 vs. contractor. Example: KTM riders are required to train at Bakers Factory and it is in their contract to do so. They are required to do be at test days, training requirements, and contracted to attend certain races and other events. There are also conduct clauses were they have to behave professionally and be active and appropriate on social media. It is much more than show up at races and do some brand promotion lol.
Because riding with a bunch of top riders, makes you faster. He's not going to get that riding with a bunch of B class riders.
He's definitely not helping his son keep a contract the way it sounds
Are you on payroll with the Masterpools? lol
ah, knew the KTM example was coming. did they fire Roczen? Cooper? nope.
let me know if that contract has actually been adjudicated or not. you can contract for anything... at the end of the day, it's a fact finding that has to occur to determine whether contractor is constructively treated as an employee or not and whether the contract is voidable.
