But he got third with a 3-2 on a sketchy sketchy track. 

Jett puts 20+ on everyone, and he never rides at 100%, we all know that. He’s gifted his brother some motos, just like he gifted Kenny a moto some years back.  I think Deegan hopes to push Jett just a little. Maybe make him push to like 80% just to “show” Deegan or “put him in his place”. Basically, to get a chink in the armor.

He was 13 seconds back with like 10 minutes left until Hunter fell lol. Was on his way to another 3-3 while being 20+ down moto 1 and it was trending towards 20+ moto 2 also but tell yourself whatever you need to

There is constant conversation regarding Deegan narrowing the gap between him and Jett. 

The reality is Jett with one leg has deegan 53 points down and Southwick has only just ended. 

There is no debate. The gap is growing. 

When did deegan become the media darling?

You might be pretty new to the sport I suppose. 

In 2000 SX, Carmichael was the biggest topic because he was supposed to dethrone McGrath that year. Other than the fact that Carmichael didn’t act like a jackass off the track (at least publicly), it went sort of similar to how this series is going and he was able to recover from his 5th place series finish to have an above average career…..

So now the gap is points. It used to be +30, then +20 +10 etc. 

I mean objectively, Deegan is improving each week in a number of areas. Long way to go but qualifying is better, in race best lap times are improving. Lasting longer in the hunt, starts were MUCH better this weekend. 

I do know this, I've seen Jett and Hunter on the ground these last few weekends more than Haiden. The pace is extremely high and he seems like the only one going after it. 

We can all have our opinions of when of if he can, but he IS getting better already. 

Okay Brian.

He's the only young American in the series with a realistic chance of becoming a Champ one day. It is normal that the US media is treating him as their darling. Same with US fans, they are willing to ignore his WWE antics on YouTube and interviews just because he will be the only US rider with a fighting chance they can support.

Because who else is coming up that can go toe to toe with the Lawrence Brothers, with Lucas Coenen, with Jorge Prado, with soon to be Cole Davies...

He's cooked.

So dont fall? 


You guys can't say Hunter and Jett are playing around while they take turns falling every moto these past few weeks. Pick one.

No one in the media is willing to put them on the spot and ask the controversial question in case Jett or deegs blacklists them and will never go on their “pod” again.

It's pathetic, really. 

In another thread, someone posted the press conference video of Hunter "defending" Deegan in the Smith/Deegan heat race nonsense, and the best part of that video was the doubling down by the DMXS guy asking the question.

It forced Deegan into answering a real question, and even prompted Hunter to jump in. It was great and it was what everyone wanted to know.

Someone needs to straight up ask Jett about Deegan, about the back and forth on the line, about the shirt. Yeah yeah, here come the "but if they ask that question they won't be given access anymore" guys. 

That's the pathetic part. Maybe there isn't a solution because of the size of the sport, and that sucks too. 

@ML512 ?  You were there.  Any reason you didn't ask about the clear tension?

I asked Jett and Haiden both about their chirping at High Point and interactions. Jett made the cleaning out the tire comment, Haiden made the “I just asked the guy how he was doing and he flipped me off” comment.

I was standing right there when they were chirping on the starting line this weekend, overheard most of it. Just seemed redundant to ask about it again when it was honestly pretty mellow compared to High Point. If it escalates to a bigger level, I’ll ask again. I had other items to ask them each week and imo, more of the story in Haiden’s case, was keeping a tighter gap at Southwick, big changes, etc. Jett’s was the footpeg, which he didn’t want to discuss. So I asked about how his off the bike program has been effected, then I asked about Southwick vs Euro sand tracks/Coenens performance.

Should ask Jett about his foot next weekend. Let us know how it goes.

Talking about the media, bro. You sound triggered. That’s how you know Deegan is in yours and Jett’s head. It’s working on the media too. I mean look at all the angry energy people are wasting just “hating” on him. It’s like he says, he feeds off that energy.

If he's feeding off that energy, he sucks at it... he's literally slower this yr on a 450 than he was last yr on a 250.... 

There is a lottttttt of weight that goes with being a heel... when that kid finally cracks, and he will crack because they ALL do, it's gonna be j law levels of stupidity...

Since he started his 450 career in MX, with plenty of time to prepare and test coming into the season due to what Coast he was racing in the 250 class... 
if Deegs is an outdoor specialist and doesn't win a race this outdoors, what's the expectations for SX?

These podiums are going to be Top 6's, top 10's

We can all have our opinions of when of if he can, but he IS getting better already. 

For the record, here are the gaps from Haiden to first place for the 12 motos so far:

20.5

15.5

16.3

19.3

20.2

32.0

18.7

8.0

2:05

19.3

20.1

3.8

I wouldn’t say there is a clear trend of getting closer.  8 out 12 motos have been in the 15-20 second range.

That is why i mentioned the entire thing. Qualifying, Best lap times during the race, starts, limiting mistakes. 

Haiden is 3rd in points. SO i mean sure. Hes not any good? But i do remember Prado being the peoples champ last week for his "performance". 

If you think he hasnt improved at all then ok. Everyone has their opinion.

I'm not a Deegan fan, hater, or lover.  Frankly, I've never been a fan of his antics and always thought he was all hat, no cattle.  Turns out, I was wrong, the kid is a hellava dirtbike racer.  That said, I'm also not a Jett fan, hater, or lover.  I'm a fan of fantastic, competitive MX/SX racing.  If someone can't see Deegan is improving and closing the gap between the Lawrences in terms of overall speed, then I don't know what they are watching.  Yes, he still has a ways to go, but to say he isn't improving or isn't gaining on them as he learns and grows, is not accurate. He's the only one in the class remotely running their speed or getting close to it.  The Lawrences are running at a crazy fast pace, and recently the mistakes indicate as such.  It's fun to watch.  I never imagined Deegan would ever get to this current level.  I thought he was a product of his family's marketing machine.  Turns out, he's legit a fast rider.  He still has a way to go to catch the Lawrences and a rider like Coenen.  But, if his progression continues, he will eventually catch them.

You are making much too much sense to be posting here. We will not continue to tolerate it. 

That is all.

Media did ask as mentioned earlier in the thread. Weege does a good interview w Brian and he give Jett a conpliment in that he says they are working hard at the challenge of winning against thede guys and that as a father he is saying to Deegan its not often you get a chance to be the best in the world at something.... meaning Jett and Hunter are the best in the world. They dont have to like each other and we get to enjoy but Jett is a freak and Hunter has put in a couple years of hard work thst is finally paying off, Deegan is doing great in the big scheme of things and if he improves the way that he has in the past or the way hunter has he will be trading wins no doubt.... which is good for us!

There is constant conversation regarding Deegan narrowing the gap between him and Jett. 

The reality is Jett with one leg has deegan 53 points down and Southwick has only just ended. 

There is no debate. The gap is growing. 

When did deegan become the media darling?

Dear lord there is a lot of grown men here that have severe insecurities and suffer from insane delusion.

Deegan has made it more fun for me to cheer on Hunter, who's my fav guy out there. And its because hes good, actually better than anyone not a lawrence right now. Ill take that.

At this point there is no other reason then jealousy for these anti deegan threads. Imagine being a grown man and being upset at something  someone half your age says. None of these hypocrites had anything to say about jett dropping the N bomb on video.

Absolutely, any reason you want to cheer for your rider is how it should be.   But for some shit reason on here you’re dumb for rooting for deegan in any fashion or it’s give everyone a trophy and “pull” for everyone. So what if someone clings to their fellow countrymen athletes

in the first moto the gap was 23 seconds when the race was called.....the second moto the gap was 10 seconds when Hunta hit neutral. Jett said he maintained in case he needed more. I don't believe dangerboy lowered the gap....it was circumstances

There's no other reason than jealousy? Really? That's the excuse you have to tell yourself to justify why people don't like the kid? There's literally hundreds, if not thousands of reasons I've disliked people in my life, and jealousy has never been one of them.
