Gotta go upload those instabangers instead of practice... Look how well that's working out.
Do you feel better about yourself now?
Best thing in this whole thread. THANK YOU
He gets shit on everywhere he’s talked about. “Daddy” this and “daddy” that. He’s done absolutely nothing to upset the fans, yet so many feel the need to spout off about his short comings before he even really got started. Or they want to shit on him for getting a good ride off little accomplishments. So what? It’s sad.

He's done nothing to upset the fans? I guess we have different opinions on his comments on Pulp about why Triumph wasn't a good fit.
Yeah people bring up his dad, but I don't remember seeing those comments until after the Triumph split and the Pulp interview.
When you do that interview and say those things, then show up and not do well at all at the nationals, people are going to wonded/speculate why you ended up on a factory team in the first place.
This is a wild comparison, but look at the fact people bring up Deegan being a spoiled rich kid all the time (which he absolutely is) but you can't deny the results and obvious work he's put in off the track. Yet you have Ferry who had basically all the same benefits and luxuries available to him, showing up and barely qualifying and then not finishing motos. AND that's after leaving a factory team.
He's made this bed man, I don't know how else to say it. It would be awesome if he shows up and puts it in the top 15 or even top 20, I think the vast majority of the "haters" you speak of would praise that kind of performance.
He made his bed? How so? He’s not as good as Deegan and deserves to be looked down on for that? Got it. So everyone sucks if they grow up with means and don’t become a race winner and champion. You are exactly the person I’m talking about. Your expectations are delusional. He’s done nothing to indicate he would be winning pro races and to the best of my knowledge, has not said anything along those lines. I listened to the pulp interview and there was really nothing to take away from it. You and others have a hard on for him and seem to be happy that he’s “failing” in your eyes, which he’s not. Not everyone can be a winner at the highest level, no matter their resources.
My expectations? What the hell did I just say about the results that would get him praise? Top 20 is delusional for a kid who walked away from a factory team and then went in the public eye and literally said he was disappointed he couldn't post whip videos.
If I'm the guy you're talking about, you're talking about 95% of guys on this board, and based on Matthes' latest comments, he's that guy too.
You say there are legitimate haters of the kid, if that's the case THAT is dumb because he is just a kid, BUT the delusional defenders who can't see the reality of this situation are just as bad.
Why the hell does EVERYTHING have to be one extreme or the other?
There were PLENTY of people shitting on the kid before the split.
Tons of comments about how he got that Factory Ride because of Daddy etc. etc.
That doesn't fit your narrative though so I'm not surprised you don't remember any of it.
Keep jizzing all over each other about a kid you've never met failing fellas.
Perhaps they're actually mad at their own upbringing/dad 😏
If there was that crap before this whole split, then yeah I agree that seems completely uncalled for. There is definitely a tendency to assume Daddy helped in this industry.
I guess part of my point is the only exposure I had to the kid was his Instagram posts and then him bouncing around to a couple teams. That happens too with amateur kids, so it's not necessarily a huge red flag.
The other part of my point is he did get on a factory team, then left for obscure reasons and his Pulp interview did him no favors. Even Steve said he better show up and perform.
He hasn't. I don't see how everyone stating the facts of him not performing is hating on him. That interview put the spotlight on him, I guess unfortunately.
If he shows up and puts up results, and to me I would think somewhere in the points is a legitimate goal, I'll be the first to praise him. I HOPE he does that, because obviously at some point that was his dream, right?
Man, I probably still sound like a hater to you though, right?
You seem quite uninformed on the kid to have such strong opinions over nothing.
Reminds me of when Donnie Hansen's son raced. Same love/hate deal.
THIS I can speak to personally. I raced Josh all through minis and up. There is a stigma around him but I was a legitimate nobody in those classes and him and his family were some of the nicest and most down to earth people you'd ever meet.
By all accounts the Ferry's are the same sort of family. So trust me when I say I hope Evan really succeeds.
But your panties are in a bunch because he was offered a factory ride a took it, Who wouldn’t, but also didn’t deliver. Not the first time its happened and not the last. He didn’t meet your expectations, let it go.
Also if you want to make the fast 40, go faster even if its for 1 lap.
Nope. He absolutely did the right thing taking that ride. It's how he left most people are like WTF about man. Pay attention.
If he went on Pulp and said he just wasn't ready for that ride, and he's just going to put in the work and he can't really talk about why he left, I think NONE of this debate is even happening.
100%. If that had been the narrative, I believe public opinion on this board would be far and away supportive. Instead, we have Ferry family friends and pious industry bloviators who want to tell everyone what pieces of shit they are for criticizing one of ‘their own.’ They certainly do not defend other young riders of profile who have had their own struggles.
You’ll never know “why” he left. You think he’s going to go on Pulp and slam himself or the team? C’mon, he tried to soft land for both parties (terrible attempt) and it isn’t working out for him b/c there are meat heads that “have to know” and not let the kid end up where he ends up.
Whichever, His instabanger theory is weird as what I seen of them, none ring out as a banger to me. Hell he couldn’t even throw a nice whip over the step up at Pala when everyone else was. He tried it looked like, but was not quite the level of many many other back markers.
Pit Row
I’ve made a couple post in this thread and didn’t mean to 💩 on him so apologies if it came across that way. My only problem was during the interview it was made out that Triumph was a joke of a team and couldn't provide parts or bikes to him. I took it as they thought the team was holding him back, and painted the Triumph team in a bad light.
Good ride is second moto for Ferry.
Hey, 24th is a huge improvement from the first couple rounds. Have to give the kid some credit. I said if he finished in the points that would be a win, and he almost made it that second moto.
Well done.
Fighting the whole way through the second moto is something to be proud of. I’ll be on the fence at high point cheering for the kid.
Little Red's ride
Vital experts ride
He showed today speed wise that he isn’t far off the top 20. On a much lesser bike too.
Everyone just needs to let him ride all summer and build a base up and then see what happens next year.
If he makes a step, we’ll see, or we’ll also see if he has hit a ceiling. Just because he had and lost a factory ride to start his career doesn’t mean he has no chance of having a decent career.
A big step in the right direction today, hope he can keep building!
Nice moto 2 ride. I was hoping to see him chip away in Moto 1 but maybe the bike was banged up.
24th is not many positions behind Cochran, Ryder D, Bennick... Needs to drop a few seconds a lap for sure. Good rebound anyway!
