Old Mate has produced the next 2 superstars of this sport. Kind of wild that an antipodean invasion is happening but you watch Jett ride and nobody else looks the same besides Cole and Hunter. When the American riding schools figure out whatever it is that is making these guys look so fluid, central and poised, America will have its superstar. Deegan ain’t it. Sexton right now is the only hope.
Sit this one out Nathan.
This is another example vital dumbness.
Who exactly is Nathan?

You don't know what your talking about. He never said he could beat Degan if he was on a Star Yamaha. He just wanted to ride one(so do I) and he worked to earn the money to claim the bike. How he was bullied was inexcusable. Not sure how following the rules makes you an ahole.
I'm still pissed about how they cornered a minor kid without his father present.
Watch the interview before you start spouting b++++++t
Which has nothing to do with Haiden. Yet, some people have hated him since (and many before) claimgate.
Having said that, you are correct. It is inexcusable to corner a minor, and he should have, per the rules, gotten the bike.
Looks like he’s back to doing training with Swanny’s guys.
Old Mate has been teaching the fundamentals for decades, but he still gets excited when a kid gets it. That’s pretty cool imo.
This will not age well.
Yeah unless some new blood steps up Deegs will be entering the 450s as Eli, Anderson, Mookie, Kenny and probably Coop are all leaving. Not sure how long Sexton will continue so he will only need to contend with Jett and Hunta. Hopefully some other 250 guys step up as they move to 450s or it’s going to be a pretty weak field.
And Haiden hasn't shown anywhere near the potential as any of those guys in sx.
Deegz is a beast outdoors. I'm plenty critical of his SX skills but a spade is a spade. He's going to be a problem every summer for everyone. Even Jett.
RV lost his first sx series, won his second, and lost the third season to Canard (1 for 3). RC lost his first season, won his second (1 for two), and Eli lost his first, won his second and lost his third (1 for 3).
If Haiden wins the title this season, he's not far off the mark from any of those guys.
Wouldn't hurt to bring back blood testing. You know, just to keep everyone honest.
Week two without Deegan racing and the frothing shows no signs of abating.....
DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your comparing Haiden Deegan to RC, RV and Tomac? Dial it down girlfriend...
Claimgate was mostly two black eyes for both Haiden and Bryan...
But to answer the original question. Yes he's been underwhelming especially with how Anstie, Juju, and Davies have been riding...
Pit Row
Despite the way he acts, Deegan is a also grown man.
There’s some really weird stuff in this thread. Actually a bit disturbing.
The kid looks like he’s pushing too hard at times. He’s just needs to relax and do his thing and he’ll be fine. I’m not entirely sure I understand what “overriding the track” means but I think that may be the expression I’m looking for.
He rides on the back tire and likes a light front feel. That tends to look over aggressive at times. As far as the star bike claim imo it’s a stupid rule that stunts technology growth. Challenge an illegal bike I’m ok with that., claim a bike…..BS imo.
All good here…
You’re getting warmer now. Who does piss testing at Nations, wouldn’t happen to be a different group than the AMA would it? 🤫😉
USADA is worthless on anything above amateur hacks that don't know what they're doing
-3 points ya he should quit!
Nobody knew those three would be the riders they became early on. You think after sx 99' there was talk of RC being the goat?
How long did it take eli to win a national title?
Not really fair to look at what they became later, but give deegan crap this early in his career.
You're OK with selected riders riding works bikes at amateur events?
The real answer will come at the shootouts.. Maybe Juju, Davies and Smith have stepped up
I remember reading the online race reports when RC went pro with extremely heightened interest. There was huge expectation from day 1 for him to clean up. He was the guy. He was turning faster lap times on superminis than the amateur nats pro classes.
Absolutely.... Reynard was even more hyped than RC was.
Only point was , early on the 250, nobody thought he's be what he turned into.
The talk before 01 sx was MC vs DV, with RC winning some races.
Deggan gets a lot of flack. He's won indoors and out, sx is just taking more time.
Neither the AMA nor MX Sports use USADA
