Being happy that an often- ridiculed sport governing body finally gets a call mostly correct is normal.
Just like if you were to ever make a post that wasn't really stupid or off-putting. If that unlikely thing ever happened, most of us would be surprised and delighted.
the ama apparently getting a ruling correct is not as objective as you make it seem
Jett hitting the gate last year and getting docked a lap was them getting the call correct, wasn’t it?
All my homies hate the AMA no matter who is getting fucked
Blatantly wrong. You don't have any homies.
Ain’t you?

I’m your huckleberry
Hate to break it to you, but if you don’t think Deegan rode better this weekend then you’re completely clueless. Of course he’s gonna look uncomfortable riding at the Lawrence Brothers speed, this level of riding is new to him. The only way for him to get comfortable at these speeds is to keep forcing himself out of his comfort zone for longer periods of time. He did that this weekend and was able to hang with the leaders in Moto 1 for a few laps and even managed a pass for second place and applied pressure to the leader. Both, are something he’s never done before and he’s only had raced MX four times previously.
Like it or not, Deegan is definitely trending in the right direction: starts are getting better and more consistent, he is advancing through the pack quicker, managed to pass for second place, applying pressure to the leader for longer periods of time. These are all good signs for him and what eventually leads to winning races.
Note, I’m very well of the “creative line” he took during Moto 1. Honestly, I don’t really blame him as he’s trying just about everything to reach a guy that’s faster than him.
Decent take…💯👍🏻
Well, if you heard it on a pod or read it on the internet it must be true.
No kidding...
They usually come as a pair.
The GOAT has spoken. Confirming the sport is getting more pussified by the day.
Lol. Some of these guys are up late at night pacing the floor with rage at just the mention of Deegan’s name. 🙄
They need a safe space 😎
I can pretty much agree with you BUT he really needs to change mentally - sit down and critique his own race, by that I mean what is not working? Trying to bulldog the bike is holding him back, compare his split times to others to show he needs to get more finesse his riding BUT this should be part of growing up.
Feel free to flame away but point of not no way am I a fanboy
Good point by RV and RC. But it’s a legit call by the AMA. At least they penalized Hunter and Prado too, even though Deegan was focused on.
Yeah man that's how i get my steps in
But DAMN an antique meme first and now a safe space joke?? I really like this best friend coordinated throwback thing you guys are leaning into, very friendship bracelet vibes. Do you guys both wear Deegan jerseys when you're together or is it more of a taking turns type thing?
Can I just admit that I like being a hater?
Something about his personality bothers me and I relish in his misfortune. Not that I would want anything serious to happen to him, just that when he gets into stuff like this it's funny and entertaining to me. I even enjoy watching him win sometimes. If there is one thing that's undeniable, he can ride that mfer, and the racing is better from him and all his flaws. I'll probably be happy when he wins his first race (this season no doubt) on some level, but I'm still a hater.
Gives me a reason to cheer for the Lawrence bros. God knows being a Chase fan was getting difficult. I'm probably becoming something of a chase hater because of how things have been going.
I will say though when I heard he would be penalized I figured it would be 1, maybe 2 pos. 7 is a bit much AMA... Probably better to be a time penalty All this to say the AMA had better put some serious thought into a rulebook overhaul. Far too much BS this year. I hardly even remember hearing about a penalty last year.
Why doesn’t the ama allow in-helmet communication with the rider?
Pit Row
Well, they have banned action cameras on helmets, so I don't see in helmet coms anytime soon.
It's fucking pathetic and most likely bullshit
There were drones everywhere, there are track spotters at all points (per Matthes), and the AMA found 6 violations. So yeah, let's see the evidence as opposed to the conjecture.
UrkYou want proof, head to Matt burkeen instagram , he has a nice clip
So "Back In The Day" blatantly cutting the track "Wasn't An Issue"? Says the two Monster Energy personal sponsored guys, on a show sponsored by Monster, about a series sponsored by Monster, while wearing Monster hats...
Every local C rider knows you can't cut the track.
Shows the power Monster has in this industry.
If the Deegandashians ever truly start winning the sport is screwed.
I remember at one of the nationals when RC was on a 125 ,that in one section of the track he was jumping off of a dip in the track from one side of the track to the other completely skipping a turn. There was no penalty, but I believe after the AMA saw what he was doing , told him no more after the first moto.
Do you mean Deegan has to ride in the Danger(boy) Zone? 😂 I’ll see myself out
personally I think it’s stupid they even need video evidence. If an AMA official sees a rider breaking the rules, they should note the time and location of the infraction.
Or we could also require cameras on the bikes like barcia had on his gasgas and be able to see everyone’s race.
RC trying to justify it so he can stay in Deegans good graces.
A difference of opinion doesn’t always mean there’s a hidden agenda, elder sogg.
Doesn’t matter. His whole point is he doesn’t like track markers, which doesn’t matter. Even if there were no track markers a peewee would know that area isn’t part of the track.
