I am curious to see what you guys will cling to next when he straight up beats one of the brothers  at Thunder Valley. Before the season it was “I expect him to be 5-8” after last week it was “he talks all that shit about Jett he better worry about Prado, Cooper, and Sexton first!” Now it’s “he only could keep up for a few laps, he only held Hunter off for 20 minutes, he only beat everyone not named Lawrence from a bad start”. The hoops you people jump thru to discredit the kid will be studied some day

I doubt that happens Lakewood is Deegan’s worse track of the series, he’s always tried to override the bike there…5th is where I think he’ll be next week behind Hunter, Lucas, Jett and George….

Everyone likes the Lawrences, but their fans…

It’s amazing you don’t see what every one else sees. He talks a big game and wears shit like that so IF he wins he can be cocky as hell. Then he always plays the other side JUST IN CASE he doesn’t win he can fall back and say he’s just here to learn. The bed bugs are blinded by the bullshit 

Who’s everyone ?

I see it and acknowledge it for what it is. You can twist it however you want, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to see it the exact same way as you do. 
I’m not a fan of what he’s doing, but it’s pretty obvious that it’s worked for him so far. He’s making millions of dollars racing dirt bikes and I don’t honestly think he cares what any of us think about how he’s doing it.

Gosh, I sure hope Haiden doesn't win MX3 at the MXdN this year. His anti-fans would push his stardom to never before seen levels.

Never thought of it that way. He doesn't care what we think about it, so we shouldn't talk about it.

He doesn’t care? He acts tough but is one of the most insecure dudes I have ever seen. If someone even mentions anything negative about him. Good luck everyone getting him on that podcast…..also, I bet his block list is higher than any female celebrity’s …..one time in smx years ago Jo barely ran it in on Haiden on last corner and deegan flipped him off like 3 times. I commented on his page saying “can dish it but not take it.” Blocked, the duke gomez stuff, blocked, Dayton briggs, blocked

Lawrence fans keep moving the goalposts. He’s already running with them and a moto win is coming very soon.

Running with them is a bit of a stretch.

He kept Hunter behind him for the  better part of the moto and  Jett within a few seconds until he admittedly tightened up and got arm pump . Im not sure I’ve seen anyone besides Tomac or Chase do the same . Deegs being a rookie and accomplishing that while Tomac and Chase are seasoned vets says alot to me .

The brothers won’t be there so he could possibly. Genuine question though. You think he will go?

Right, because after two 450 races, Deegan has 'peaked'  LOL.  You Jett fans are delusional.

If the Deegans’ social media posts and antics got you hyped up or pissed off either way, that’s on you for taking personal stock one way or another in someone you never met. It’s all for clicks, views, and cash at the end of the day. I swear, the haters give the Deegans just as much engagement as their fans do. Try and just enjoy the actual racing on the track for what it is!

Edited his original “RIP JETT” shirt to “JETT RIPS” because he found out real quick lol.


But all kidding aside, Deegan is doing phenomenal so far, albeit not as high level as he said he would be, not even close because Lawrence’s are dropping him by a longggg way each race. But I still believe he will get to a point of competing with Hunter, I don’t know about Jett though, very few have. But Jett has had a lot of injuries so he may jump on those opportunities, similar to Reed with RC & Stew.

I’m probably the biggest 38 hater out there. His rise is not over. He has the speed, fitness, and tenacity to run with those guys. The fact he’s going 3-3 to two of the best dudes on the planet aughta be enough to tell you that

When is Prado going to be better? So far, that is not what we have seen.

What do you mean lol he went 2-2 week 1, and he was gaining 2 seconds a lap on deegan at the end of moto 1 until his bike blew up ... Idk if he would have made the pass but he was catching him quick.

Unfortunately for deegs neither have the brothers. Wait till daddy Jett is back at 100%. Hunter makes big improvements every year. Your boy will be lucky to get another title if the brothers stay healthy

I think it’s correct that he doesn’t give a shit what any of us think about him, but he cares a great deal about whether or not we think about him. The opposite of love isn’t hate, it’s indifference. 

To be fair: he did fall back on “I’m just learning” and he’s not nearly as full of himself as he was pre-Pala.

All the while, he’s racing up front with The Brothers and then falling back and just riding it out. His on track tactics are pretty damn reasonable from where I’m sitting.

What makes me laugh the hardest is this: people seem to ignore the fact that he’s obviously adapting and learning. Between the OP of this thread and others that’re apparently blinded by “SM Thumb Hate”, too many of us seem to ignore the fact that he’s moved up to the Big Boy Club and he’s already “Running with the Pack” (©️ Bad Company, 1976). 

So, since I’m quoting you…one of my reasonable Canadian Whiskey Sipping While Contemplating Life friends…

What do you think of his riding and how he behaves with this crowd on the track? 
Do you think he’s gonna evolve, learn, get faster…dare I say,”Smarter”?

Anyone else noticed Deegan just shaking his head after moto 2 btw? Despite what he or some people say, he is NOT happy with that result and definitely expected to win. It's pretty cool that they will race eachother their whole 450 career basically because I don't think Deegan is someone who just thinks it's the bikes fault like Sexton, I think he will grind, make progress and do anything to get better over the next years. Whatever the little cringelord says, the dude has grit, can't deny that. Add Lucas to the list next year and we will have some incredible battles for the podium every week.

No in his 2nd national he won, which was Hangtown, his best track. You don’t count those random races he did before that. Now his 2nd race he’s been straight dropped 20+….its not the same

Should be an automatic ban from this board with such a stupid take. 

I’ll give you one example- villo in 09 got lapped once or twice in Supercross when he moved up- he was the furthest thing from a factor. Then at the end of the season, he beat everyone and then went on his run. 

Deegan just got third. THIRD. In his second 450 race. How you just write off the next ten years or potential battles is incredible 

Third!!! Lolll

the winner won every single race his rookie year, third dont mean chit... lol.. no amount of the cringe lords bullchit is ever going to change the fact that Jett is faster than him... no amount of determination is gonna change that..  ask k dub about all his years racing rc.... ask emig about all his years racing mc... unless he finds literally 3 seconds a lap, and becomes the new goat, he's not gonna be the man...

The cringe lord is really fast... he has loads of determination.... he works his ass off... but in the end, none of that matters... ask any of the guys that had to race mc or rc... and Jett is like both of them combined...

You know I looked at the 2022 dates and races and knew something was wrong with what racer X had posted. I know He raced the last 2 rounds after LL and struggled a little but showed he had the speed.

for pretty much the 1st time in his entire racing career, he was right there w/ the leaders and got dropped like a bad habit. He knows it, and you know it. Yes he'll improve, but right now he's having to wrestle with the knowledge that "I went as fast as I can go...and I got smoked". Do I think he'll find more speed? Sure. But it's probably a pretty sour meal of humble pie for the young man right now cause there's no arguing that he was not in the same race as the lawrences.

But this track was probably one of the worst tracks for Prado on the calendar. Relatively speaking very smooth, wide open everywhere, very little separation and a track prep that suits Deegans riding style better.

But i think the Lawrences will be 1-2 for most of the season and Prado - Deegan will fight for the 3rd place finish more often than not.

Honestly I thought the track prep yesterday benefited Prado because it resembled the way MXGP does things. It wasn’t ripped as deep and didn’t get as rutty as it has in the past and the track was really fast.

Jett looked really good. But, Deegan has no quit and will no doubt get better, His second National and he's on the box. Pretty friggin impressive. He came through the pack also...so Deegs is doing just fine. If I were Jett, I'd be worried about this kid. He's going to win.
