What’s this trend where every rider is eating an ice pop? Seems cringe if everyone does it. It’s gotta be during the press conference.  Bazaar 

I've read it's to rehydrate them for drug testing

The rev limiter and slamming berms doesn't work for Eli anymore. Deeg's style is similar. I won't deny Deegs work ethic and talent but it's manufactured. Nobody can really explain Jett's apparent ability to see things and react faster than anyone else. The best anyone has come up with is "he's an alien". No one has also been able to counter this on the track either.

TUE

Would love to know what medicine you think gives Jett the bike skill he has and why the countless other riders on it aren't getting the same results?

They definitely ride with different styles but there’s more than one way to go fast. Jett has been much better in MX vs SX too.

Haiden has a better technique than what Eli have, better body position and is closer to the modern riding style than what Eli is.


But as you say, he rapes the rev limiter in the same way or even more than Eli since Haiden seems to believe that the bike goes faster if the valves float mid air. 

So he would ”only” need to learn to ride the 450 in the right RPM’s and he would be pretty settled. But yeah, he is nowhere near Jett’s natural ability and flow on the bike.

I agree, if he thinks he can ride a 450 like a 250 then good luck to him

Do you think RJ is better on a 450 than a 250? Do you think it's normal for guys to be better on a 450 than a 250?

The same people who hate deegans behavior were the ones  lining up to tell us all how handsome kenny looked when he wore a suit to the Anaheim press conference. Now they have to put in overtime to tell us how much they dont like the way the fastest 250 rider in the world acts. He's a professional motocross racer ,not the guy you have to sit next to in the office .

What? No! I figured you couldn't provide any facts though.

The fact he's never raced these four before means you still haven't provided any actual facts to back up your claim...

Kid's a fuckin' douchebag. End of story. 

First word in your post "Kid". He's a multimillionaire, fast as hell on a bike, has all the toys and it's his age group he's appealing to, not us old fux. Let him (and Jett) play it out and we'll see what happens.

You sound like the guys saying he wouldn’t do anything as a pro. I dunno how you can watch him ride and think he’s not going to be great on a 450. 

"Great" on a 450 is pretty rarified air that I'm not quite willing to put Deegan in just yet, but he'll definitely give the established podium guys headaches outdoors (his mouth will probably give him a few self induced headaches, too). SX is a completely different animal, though, in my opinion. I see him committing a bunch of unforced errors, a la RC's first couple of years on a 250, but he'll come around and be solid.

will be fun to watch for sure.

I meant great as in I think he will consistently be battling for podiums and wins.  not necessarily that he'd be viewed as one of the greats of the sport a la RC, MC, Dungey, Villo. bad framing on my part perhaps..

Seeing how Deegan stacks up against those four is probably what I'm looking forward to most.

No one can declare Deegan as the current 250 FMOTP because he’s avoided MXdN the last two years. Finally we get to see it this year, but the odds are stacked in his favour being on home soil and a familiar track. However that just means he’s favourite to take out the class. 
Anyone already claiming him as the 250 king is getting ahead of themselves, just like the 450 talk. 
Great bench racing fodder, but as yet all these claims are unsubstantiated.

If Deegan doesn't choke, and let's face it, it's a big spotlight and others have choked, I think he beats them all.

I have no problems declaring Deegan the fastest 250 rider.  

Also, no need to lie and say Haiden avoided the MXoN since his reasons were legitimate.

You guys don’t remember when Deegan laid that smack down to Hunter at washougal with a 1-1

Last moto of the year budds creek Deegan had a faster lap time than Hunter did on his 450 and the 250 motos went second rougher track. 

he should be able to go 1-3 seconds faster on a 450 and will send it harder than most of those older dudes in the 450 class.

Some of you should be studied by psychologists (you know who you are).  People who are critical at all are "haters" and "crying" yet you defend a stranger like your life depends on it.  Quite creepy having an online love affair with a moto-famous young dude.

Nope, they are haters because they enter any thread about Haiden to be critical of him one way or another. Don’t try to flip the script and make his fans the weirdos because you clowns don’t get free rein to take shots at every opportunity and get called on your bullshit. 

If the Haiden hatn’ losers don’t like Haiden, smart thing would be to stay out of threads and discussions about him. But they just can’t help themselves. Poor sods. 

I’d downvote you, but then that would put me in the loser category with the rest of the downvoters.

Until proven otherwise, I see four Tom Vialles.  And thats giving higher praise than most of those four deserve at this point as compared to Tom.

I actually think Deegan is a good kid, his tough guy act seems so forced. It’s just obvious that he thinks he needs to start drama, and I mean I can’t argue that it has worked for him so far. Not my style though. I feel like part of that is Brian (who I also think is actually a good guy too). Deegan is good enough that he doesn’t need to do it though, Brian wasn’t.

Yea this is why I dont understand when the podcast guys like AC or Brayton say hes just being himself. I dont think he is. The whole thing comes across as forced. Brian even pulled dazzy to the side back in 250’s and told him theyre not serious and theyre just trying to create hype. Most ppl that actually know haiden say hes a nice kid, so idk where they think hes just being himself, but thats def not the case. Hes acting. 

Then you have guys like RV and RC who say yea he talks crap but he always backs it up. Again, the only times he starts yapping is after he wins and is safe from criticism. When he had a bad start to the sx season he was “just giving it up to his competitors” and being the humble guy. Then he takes out davies and unexpectedly wins the championship and goes up on the podium and tells everyone to smd. Then the last few weeks in mx when joe is winning hes talking about how joe is riding great and he needs to be better. Then once he wins the championship and theres no more stakes on the line then he goes up on the podium and starts talking shit to everybody. 

Thats not backing it up, thats talking shit after the fact. Thats called punching down. Backing it up means saying youre going to do something ahead of time and then going out and doing it. Idk how its so hard for these guys to see this stuff, but its kind of annoying. JT is the one guy Ive noticed whos actually caught on to this lately, so good on him.

It’s because the same losers say the same things and have directed the comments towards me specifically. Pretty cheap, low class move.

Well, if you behave like a prick, you are one. 

I don’t care how many people that say that he is a nice kid, he will be judged by what he choose to portray himself like.

You guys don’t remember when Deegan laid that smack down to Hunter at washougal with a 1-1

Last moto of the year budds creek Deegan had a faster lap time than Hunter did on his 450 and the 250 motos went second rougher track. 

he should be able to go 1-3 seconds faster on a 450 and will send it harder than most of those older dudes in the 450 class. 

1-3 sec faster on a 450 😂 😂 Of course. Cause more cc's means faster in every single scenario
