Couple of differences.

Bob Hannah didn't have the Deegan family shit eating grin.

Bob Hannah didn't have a father feeding him a script.

I think barcia won Southwick in 2009 with crazy weather and didn’t win another national again until 2012 at Lakewood with like a 1-3. I think maybe he won one more national at budds creek? 

They're really similar. Deegz is better at mx and Barcia was better at sx. Quite a bit better

Man this Deegan stuff is next level. I’ve never seen grown men hate on a kid so much lol. I’m not even saying if I like him or not, but damn lol. 

kid is making a great living racing a dirt bike when he doesn’t need to, but still puts in the work. I can respect that.

I don't know what's been more entertaining, this or the Evan Ferry thread.

If there is hate in your heart brother; Let It OUT! 

I dig that we've got a fast American kid who rides on the edge and is controversial, but 98% of his interviews sound like a script from Daddy Deegz and he just wants to be the villain and stir the pot. Doing it at round 1 was a bold move, could come back and bite him in the ass. Levi & Tom don't have as many laps at Fox Raceway as Deegz, they will have tracks that will better favor them throughout the series and will surely nab some moto wins and OA's. 250's are going to be the class to watch because there is FOR SURE going to be some bar banging going on, especially when the points are tight heading into Ironman where Deegz & Vialle both shine. 

 

I personally think Vialle is the favorite for the title, his MX2 title experience is invaluable and will keep him level headed and not riding over his head & settling for podiums when he knows he's not the fastest guy rather than wadding it up and DNF'ing. 

Would love to see the Chef cook these boys all summer, but I think he'll be the second - third best guy most days.

Yeah, if you disagree with someone these days it’s called hate.  Ridiculous.  If you put yourself out there in the public spotlight, you are going to get judged for what you do and what you say. Some will agree.  Some won’t. Those that don’t agree are not “hating on a kid”.  Give me a break.  I’ve always found the biggest shit talkers are the most insecure.  Someone said his attitude means his parents raised him right.  Really?  I’ve always appreciated the people that are polite, respectful and let their actions do the talking.

This is the biggest thing. We don’t even know who he is because he’s playing a character, and it’s the character dad is telling him to play. And that character is arrogant, self-centered and spoiled

You can still have a personality and be a likeble person. Phil, AC, AP, RV (now days) etc.

But don’t worry, when he moves up to 450 he will sitt att the pressconference with a empty glare in his eyes just like AC and Jett became now.

I used to love listening to them in their 250 days, having fun and joking and after awhile in the 450 class that seems to go away sadly.

I guess if you want to be harsh you can say he choked on the start. The track wasn’t easy to push and RJ was just as fast. You must hate Levi because he was the better rider all year and should have been the champion. 

RJ still deserves it as well because it worked out for him and he was there when it counted.

If you can back it up, it’s not shit talking. But it probably is if your Dad told you to say it

Get on the podium and you guys can talk all the shit you want on him - or keep making these great threads on the forum. Need some entertainment from the peanut gallery...

So the anti-Deegan stance requires podium credentials. What does the pro-Deegan side require? Knee pads? I don’t know, just asking for a friend.

Don't think he is playing a character example being his trip to the PC rig during SX.

You don't let that one loose on your first win of the season. you wait until you get the trophy and then say "he cracked, i didn't" so he can stew on it. You unleash that shit on the first win and he beats you the next time you end up looking dumb as fuck ala Mr bean.

It's not about being humble (which I do think is admirable), it's about keeping your damn mouth shut when you know you have an advantage over your opponent.  Deegan is playing checkers while RV and Dunge were playing chess (same for those in MMA playing checkers).  It's strategically stupid to boast about knowing what your opponent's weakness is when you have it covered.  Kill the guy with kindness, allow him to think that you were spent too and just got lucky to be there in the end to take the win.  

How hard do you think Levi is going to work on his fitness now?  Deegan advantage, gone.  Just fucking strategically stupid of Deegan and his mechanic to run their mouths.    Keep your damn mouth shut and let him go a few more rounds before he figures out his fitness is the issue after you build a points lead.  

Just strategically stupid.

A Vital gathering...

Deegan is spoiled!

Why does he stick his tongue out?

The whole family is too cool for me.

 

Meanwhile... The Deegan's

"I used to train with Levi, I knew he would fade". sounds like young Degan is saying "I couldn't keep up with Levi and was waiting for him to fade, so I could catch up/pass".
