Reading some of the comments here, you’d think it impossible to have a nuanced view of things - to think something someone does is stupid without hating them. I think Deegan is a fantastic rider with immense talent, I enjoy watching him succeed, I wish him continued success, I think the arrest for doing donuts is trivial, and I think he’s being an embarrassing dork with the way he’s handling things at the moment. I don’t hate the kid - quite the contrary. But I think the schtick he’s engaging in now is contrived and ridiculous. But if that’s what he (or, more likely, the people around him) want to do for a few bucks, then that’s fine. I think it’s cringy but they have no reason to care about what I think. Perhaps I’m just a crotchety old fart who just doesn’t get it.

That's my take as well. I didn't even have a huge issue w him doing donuts in the car. As I said, a lot of us have been irresponsible when we were young. But the merch and theatrics, to me, is very corny. I still like his work ethic, and his riding. I do think that the personna aside, he's probably a good person. But they want to reap the rewards of posting everything online and doing things for attention, so they also invite the criticism. That's how it works. And I will never understand the ppl on here or online etc that are on a crusade to defend his every move. You can like a rider but still call it as it is. And I think whatever stupid spin they are trying to put on the situation (whether it's "badass" or funny or just the attention in general) is cringe.

What a great post. Everything has to be all or nothing now. Either you're a hater or a fanboy. No grey area at all. I like Deegan. He's entertaining as hell outdoors. I think he's got a lot of work to do in sx if he's gonna win on a 450. And he still might never win a 450 SX title. "You hater!" But I just said he's an animal in mx? Absolutely can win a 450 MX title. No bueno, I'm labeled a hater. Just like with the arrest. No big deal. But the merch drop was a little questionable. It's wild how tribalist the fanbase are at this point

Remember this dork is the one advising him.

He's the one (third from left) with all his phoney mates pretending they're in a cell block at Pelican Bay.

They're doing it for the clicks and the merch sales. But is is indescribably lame. They're trying to lean into some 'bad boy' bullshit which is as contrived as the shit Metal Mulisha were doing. Doing burnouts in a parking lot and then getting bailed out by daddy does not make you gangster or a 'bad boy'. Haiden was probably crying the 3 minutes he spent in the cells, pining for his bed in Princess Brian's mansion.

I LOVE his gear. It's almost as if the owners of Vital are giving him bonus money for clicks and comments lol.

Deegan the better dirtbiker by far but THE Hamburglar has infinitely more street cred.

I’ve said that a lot of little kids are Deegan fans… so, don’t use that “look up to him” crap. They’re fans of a rider that was winning when he was a kid, like them, & he’s crushing it as a TEENAGER.

So, to repeat EXACTLY what I’ve said…self righteous folks, such as yourself, need to lighten up…&…in the words of the girl from Frozen…

Let it go.

Here, have one of these…

If they put as much energy into hating Deegan as they did into riding their dirtbike they’d probably make it past D class 😭

If he would've put as much energy in studying the track instead of monetizing his jail-time he probably wouldn't have been destroyed by his 17 year old team mate. Deegan should by the way learn to get himself in check, no mater what is said, you don't touch your competition. Hitting him with that bitch slap!

Last time I checked he salvaged a 3rd after falling in the second corner, and still has the points lead, and probably gained a few points. And while doing that, he is making money from the merch sales. Also, just because his address is public record, doesn't mean that someone should post it on his social to take a dig at haiden, also putting him at risk to doxxing.

If he were having a perfect season, the merch would be a clever flex. But he’s not—he’s slipping up and still playing entrepreneur. Maybe fix the game before selling the brand.

He IS leading the points, and he DID catch his competition and nullify him with almost no time left on the clock Wink

No one has completed a perfect season in supercross for a reason.

MC's near perfect season is greater than anything since or before in SX. I hope Fro took Larocco out for ribs after that race Wink

I think the majority of us growing up did donuts in a parking lot, both with or without snow.....lol   Here is the difference, the majority of us weren't stupid enough to get caught......... Good lord how dumb do you have to be to get caught.......

 

Im in my 50s now and still do donuts and I still don't get caught.....

I'm not trying to start any rumors but just piecing together some recent events here.

The kid had his helmet airbrushed with a caricature of an elderly man having Rambo muscles, then got really excited to wear jail attire after committing a minor offence. 🚨

Math with Sandberm

So did I hear right in the review pod that Team DNGR as of last Friday had sold 3000 t-shirts at $45 a pop?

3000 x $45 = $135,000

Well that should cover Bruce Rivers lawyer fee

I wonder how many sweatshirts he sold, the sales of those has to equal $200,000 combined with the shirt pricing at least right?
