Might have heard what I wanted to hear but I thought Jo said “F that guy” right when he took his helmet off. Anyone else hear that?

Why are yall so triggered by the most entertaining race this year?

No idea but they always back down in person when you tell them how it is. “Yeah yeah you’re right, it is entertaining!!!!” Then they go back to the forum and “Deegan is a crybaby, Deegan is a bitch.”

I love putting them in their place in person. You can tell who true motocross fans are.

Deegan races as if there is no etiquette or sportsmanship in racing. I don't like that. This isn't his Dad trying to make money being a villain in FMX. I believe that's his model and it's not going to play well in this sport.

Cheering that someone is physically injured. We have reached a new low. Can’t wait to hear everyone crying how we lost MXON but yet here we are cheering that our 250 rider is injured. Wild.

No cheering about injury here…. Pissed that he could be dumb enough to screw up MXoN for USA doing something that had no chance of success.  Take the $250k and begin prep for MXoN.

Remember earlier in this thread when someone commented on how quickly Deegan always bounces back up even after some hard hits? This is the ultimate moto karma, basically a tip over and injuries himself.

Nah, Deegan was put in that position by #38.

Joe needs to buy Kitchen a steak dinner for this championship 

Had Jo, not crashed in Charlotte, and won the race (which he clearly was on pace to do given how much faster he was than Hammaker and capacity to charge through the pack), Jo would have been tied with Deegan going to St. Louis. 

There's always what if's, end of the day Deegan may have been dealt a shitty hand with Levi but so was Jo with the Hammaker crash (Hammaker slightly cut him off causing handlebars to tangle)

The difference was - Deegan crashed again and missed out on the position needs to keep it within 9 points heading to Vegas, while Jo didn't make another mistake, and charged all the way up to 3rd.

I dont even mind how haiden was approaching jo. It was actually a really good idea. Race him close keep pressure on him. Keep jo's mind racing and what next. Its the constant contact that was what should have got him black flagged had he not popped his collar bone

this had nothing to do with racing anymore

Yeah. because the "grown-up" class didn't have someone like Kitchen sabotaging the points leader. Imagine if Justin Cooper t-boned Jett last week. Wouldn't you think it would be justified for Jett to do what he needs to do to win the title, given he's clearly the best, most deserving rider?

Think Deegs got a lil carried away but his plan was to make jo have to think harder and possibly go down.

I love when people try to justify absolutely shit behavior by claiming everyone else has zero morality and would do it to.  I don’t care how much money is on the line I’m never riding or acting that way, hope you can learn to be better.

IMO, they are not going to do it because Jo still won and it didn't affect results, but to set a good precedent, AMA should still penalize Deegan to say "hey that is beyond the threshold for dirty riding." (HUGE difference between 1-2 takeouts versus trying to injure him and messing with him the whole race)

Yeah. but none of you self-proclaimed good guys were keeping this energy for Kitchen last week. That's my issue, you are so hypocritical.
