Think you got all the downvotes because that's not what it's all about. It's not pro wrestling, it's racing, which is where people go as fast as they can. Levi was going as fast as he could, Deegan was doing something else.
Thanks for proving my point, Manny! And yes, I watched this middle class kid out of Whittier take it to the best in the biz. He didn’t cower when an alpha dog entered the room; he made it personal against legendary racers with full series titles.
Deegan has a couple of outdoor titles and is blazingly fast. For the sake of the sport I hope he can take that speed to the next level. We’ll see.
It's what it's all about for moto fans, not for softies and pussies. The downvote here is a tally of BDB haters and pussies. Could be a mix like 20 BDB haters (softies) and 70 pussies at the moment, 90 and counting...bring more of your buddies and show everyone just how soft this place has become.
"I respect his abilities and know he’s a great racer."
And this is what most sane people realise because it's factually undeniable.
What I don't understand is why Deegan's fans seem to think that his detractors should be won over every time he has a good race. The haters can at least acknowledge his riding ability, but fans cant seem to grasp that he does so much asshole shit on and off the track that no amount of great awesome wtf omg races is going to change peoples minds.
Some people just dislike assholes. 🤷♂️

im just waiting for the 12 page thread on how dangerous yoder is and what a dick head he is for taking out mosiman
I really enjoyed the racing. But you surely can see the difference in the 2 guys'. Levi made quick clean passes whilst deegs does the dirty attempts. I said to the wife, deegs is the better racer, why does he feel the need to be like that. Even Haley shanley asked him straight up in the post race, isn't that risky??
How does this topic equate to toughness? I didn't read all the posts, so I don't know any subtext going on, but I personally have always thought of racing as being about speed. Something like enduros or trials do have a speed component, but technically they're competitions, not exactly races. I've always loved mx racing, which racing means you don't go slow. I've never liked slowing up to cause problems, not when Friese does it and not when Tomac did it back in 2017 and not when Deegan did it to Shimoda and not when he did it again last night. I do love Deegan's full send riding (Ironman!) and think he's in amazing race shape and can't wait to see him go up against Jett, but I don't like attention seeking SoCal bros and I don't like slowing up on the track to cause problems, which means that I don't like those aspects of the Deegans. It seems odd and very out of place to equate those things to being tough,
You won’t see that thread for one reason. It’s a one off incident for Yoder, Deegan it’s a weekly occurrence.
Perhaps you all should migrate over to autocross then where there is no mind games, no other competitors on the track, everyone has their "safe space" on an open track without risk of contact with another racer. Just all about the "speed" ya know with no excitement and large gaps between competitors as they take their turn at fast lap time. Sounds similar to a lot of SX/MX races huh? Like the first 4 races where we had gaps and cushion huh? I'll take last nights show over the first 4 any day, and the crowd explains why.
BTW, the rider who gets to the checker first is the fastest of the race...aka speed. I wouldn't care if Deegan pulled over and ate a burger. Why does it trigger you if he slows up? Perhaps it's his part of his strategy to get in the head of another rider who has more speed than him at the time like Levi did last night. We've seen it work like last night, and we've seen it bite him. Perhaps the pussy part of all this is just let the other rider go because he's faster, without putting up a fight? Mental strategy is a huge part of the game whether you like it or not.
I don't care who wins, I just want to see good racing. Is this entertainment for you, or a time to play psychologist for the kid's personalities and strategies?
Too much extremes going on here. I'm not triggered, I'm just saying that I don't like it when people go slow in racing. It doesn't make me angry. It's like okra, I can eat it fine, but I don't care for it much and saying it aloud isn't some expression of passion. What sounds like being triggered, is assuming that people are triggered because they don't love okra, and that people are pussies because okra isn't their favorite.
So you guys think deegan slowed intentionally to let Levi past and try and take him out?
Fuck with him, tire him out, knock him down. Yes.
Deegan's on-track behavior and podium interviews have improved remarkably recently. Anyone who takes active measures towards self-improvement is OK in my book, and I have been pretty outspoken about my disdain for Deegan in the past.
Why are you being so dramatic about this? Has anyone had a problem with the racing that went on? It's the WWE bad boy act that people are bored with..
That’s quite the assumption…. Nothing to gain by doing that to Levi, also he could have sent him to the fuckn moon in that corner b4 finish line but he held a tight inside line and made a clean pass.
HD likes winning more than anything. If he had the speed to run away from Levi he would have.
Don't forget the botox...Brian's going to end up looking like Nicole Kidman...
Nicole Kidman is a smoke show easy on the slander
Pit Row
People that say Haiden and Lawrence resemble Bob Hannah, knew nothing about Bob Hannah.
I’ll also bet we never see Haiden stealing and crashing rental cars or high on X throwing the furniture from the window of his fourth story hotel room.
All the talk about toughness, haters and down voting pussies makes me laugh. In my experience people who talk about those things are the most precious of all.
Sometimes I also wonder if I watched a different race. Imo what we saw was Kitchen being straight up faster than Deegan because he was consistently doing combinations that Haiden wasn't.
But once Levi passed him, he was no longer consistently nailing the same combos that got him there. That may have been a loss of concentration because of Deegan's antics, plus traffic, plus a change in mentality. But either way, he lost that speed differential., and Haiden beat him fair and square.
Kitchen would have been better off just sitting behind Deegan and picking a moment later in the race to pounce.
Great racing regardless and the fragile egos have continued the entertainment .
The only thing Kitchen does better than Deegan is take outs. Levi’s on point with those. Deegs on the other hand may be the worst take out artist ever. The kids take out skills need serious work. Haiden needs to put little bro to use and practice up.
what was this weeks take out? what was last weeks take out?
"Has anyone had a problem with the racing that went on?"
The answer is yes, many of you here. I would start by reading the thread first, maybe even just the first few posts.
Mitch Payton said it was too much cat and mouse for him and he wished Levi would have just raced forward more instead of worrying about it, but what does he know about racing.
I would think any team manager or owner would say the same. However, if you polled the 60K attendees in Seattle who bought tickets for entertainment, they would disagree. Who wants to attend or watch a boring race? Not me.
The back story/history between the two made it even better. Then when everyone in attendance was going out of their minds screaming made it even better. I felt like I was really seeing something special that you can’t get from watching at home. Call it what you want , to me that was some great racing by both riders.
Of course, being there is always way more special. You can't hear or feel the energy through the broadcast. Would you say the roars were mostly for Kitchen or were there a bunch of uproars for Deegan too? Half and half?
Did it make you even more of a super_fan?
Yes!
Deegan is not a kid, he is a child. Big difference
