Beginning of story.
Maybe it’s handled like selling used cars, make the numbers, or make way for someone who will?
Or maybe there’s just a reason that they all agree on, and don’t really feel like putting out there to be picked apart.
I’m really surprised with Dax being on Star, and being good friends with Deegan, that more people aren’t saying it’s a coverup 🤪
If you’re going to shoot a hostage why not Romano? Guess he was already dead to them. Brutal.

Except Brian's...
Why not keep him, he at least shows a little fight against Deegs
Yet another amatuer where the eequipment madehim better, not the skill set?
Having a long, successful career as a pro motocross racer is very difficult.
Watching uncontrolled speculation is about as much fun as watching moto, just slightly more predictable…
Star hit on Deegan.
The other three recent riders to come up in the last several years are #10 Ryder D, #13 Casey Cochran, and #11 Julien Beaumer however I don't think Star signs any of those riders while having Deegan.
Looking at the results, #17 Dax is trailing those three not by too much. Maybe he underperformed (he was #14 last year) a little, but he's had some solid rides, with #11 overall Red Bud, #12 at Hangtown and Southwick, and #14 at Unadilla. And the 250 class is stacked. I think Dax will progress this next year. Dax finished 9th in 250 East SX behind Hymas at #8 and he finished #16 right behind Hymas at #15 in Supercross 250 total points standings. He will get there...

Did Dax win the horizon award at loretta’s? I was listening to a podcast with Coach Robb Beams as the guest, he mentioned the horizon award curse, Ryer D won that award and hasn’t put in the best of the best results recently. Caden Braswell won it also and he had some good moments, but no, no where to be seen. I hope all three of these guys can get better and put in results that would get them noticed by teams or enough to stay on their current teams.
Ryder D spent most of the season in the top 10 and closed the nationals out chasing down the podium guys.
Looks to me like he’s doing just fine.
True, but shouldn’t he be in the top 5 or better consistently?
It is harder now than it ever has been to turn pro and have immediate success imo. All of the factory bikes are extremely close in speed, all of the riders turning pro are at training facilities on similar programs for the most part, and there are a ton of older and very experienced riders in the 250 class compared to the past. So yes, the former horizon winners from the past several years haven’t had a ton of crazy success yet, but there are a lot of factors that contribute to it.
I don’t normally take too much away from qualifying but only one top 10 is rough. Feel for the kid, hope he figures it out :/
You lost everyone at “coach” robb.
Why?
I feel bad for your dog.
Pit Row
I don't because I have three total and they love me.
Unless romano is sick or hurt, he's seriously underperformed. When you're qualifying 15th to 20th, that's not factory bike material.
Mitch , Decoster exc wouldn't put up with those results either.
Mitch has been putting up with guys missing out on 3/4 of the year for what seems like 10 years now tho 🤣🤣🤣
Dax is not 100% right now. The post about him needing to get back to 100% healthy is completely accurate. Hopefully he will be up to his full potential when he returns to racing after some rest and recovery time.
I’m sure he ain’t fully right but why is he still riding and not recovering? Recent videos show him riding the smx track with the fellas. Unless of course those videos are from before the decision to skip was made.
Undisclosed issue, that I am not a Liberty to say. I was not aware he was still riding. But, if he is, he likely isnt going 100%.
I don't care for coach Rob and I will tell you why.
Before the season where Justin Cooper won his 250sx championship, Rob was on Daniel Blairs podcast and made the unnecessary comment that he thought Justin was "Weak minded" and that he would be a champion because of it . He might of added more negative comments on Cooper but it came across as very douchy. Frankly I think is someone who likes the attention one gets when they make a provocative statement.
To be fair, JCoop doesn't really fight back when he gets passed by someone, sometimes he does but I think that is very rare.
Well at least he's getting on top of one of em...
How do you know "they" benched him for SMX? It could have been his decision or mutual?
Kailub Russell. Redbull KTM during the nationals. But that's a different scenario..
