If you go back and read my post again, it doesn't say, "Hey, Zesiger 112 what is your opinion of me?"
And yet here I am, weird how that works in a forum
Are you one of the guys cap?
love seeing the barcia comparisons as i've been saying these since January. He's damn good, but he'll be a flash in the pan winner. Yeah, it'll happen, but historically speaking...he'll be in 3-7th place until he hits his late 20s, then he'll be 10th-15th. But he'll have a huge social media following, so good for him.

Well said. It has to be a reality check if your #38 to have not led a lap this summer. After all the talk, it was enjoyable to watch a summer of him getting his butt kicked.
It’s pretty comical to be hated for supporting a rider. Every thread is littered with “bedbugs this and that” and random pictures of said rider with edited puffy lips, yet the people supporting that rider are annoying? Interesting stuff here.
This, its quite annoying how people call Deegan the "3rd fastest man in the world" when I can name 3 US riders better than him and even more than that in Europe
Jimmy, take your shit back to Facebook.
Who are the ones in the American series? Odd, I thought he was third best…. Enlighten me
Reverse perfect season is funny.
James was on a 250 smoker vs RC on a 450. The scenario gets more ridiculous as the years go by.
You can understand that overall, he was less successful than Prado though, can’t you?
I love the way Hayden rides. So fun to watch.
Imagine not being the best in your family, but still much better than deegs.
Uhhhh what? What were the points at the end of the season again?
Say what you want about Haiden but he’s never took a dive on purpose and he doesn’t hate dogs.
Pit Row
What if…😂😂😂
what happened to him after he screwed up the first moto? looked to me like he pulled off the track....possibly due to shame. anyone know what happened with the dangerboy moto 1?
If it wasn’t Deegans very first season aboard a 450 and he didn’t initially suck at starts trying to figure them out the first 4 races. If Deegan had 7 seasons on a 450 like prado. Deegan started way behind prado the majority of the season. It looks like he has things figured out now though on starts. Saying that prado was more successful isn’t right at all. Maybe somewhat evenly matched I can agree with.
We can plays ifs all day, but Deegan finished ahead of world champ prado at the end of it. Here’s an interesting stat this year:
Ha, who are you refering to, doesent Hunter own a couple of dogs?
I dont think Deegs himself has a dog?
IDK about suspension settings, but they should definitely cut that rear sufbrame for the kid if they haven't yet. Someone else said that in a different thread, and I definitely think that would help. Whenever the track gets rough and his bike swaps, he looks like he's riding a horse that wants to buck him off. Bike looks physically way too big for him in a way that the Star 250 never did.
simple explanation....it's easier to pass from the back than up front. think about it....once he got to third there wasn't much passing going on
That is probably fair play.
Jett caught MASSIVE heat for stating his goal was to beat McGraths SX win record BEFORE he even raced his first 450SX.
I expect Deegan will be better next year, but I don't think he will be in the title hunt. It will probably take him until year 3 to be battling for the title. No shame in that. Tomac didn't win his first 450MX title until his 4th year. He went on to win it FOUR times.
interesting because the 250 switched to the 450 frame a few years ago....don't think that is it.
Might just be the extra 450 torque + his riding style binding up the suspension more, but whatever it is, it's looked like he's barely big enough for the bike a few times this season.
no doubt it is in the way he rides, plus probably a bit of a lack of knowledge in how to set up a 450. to me the most comparable guy out there who rides like that is Barcia. Justin never really threatened much in the 450s....a few wins here and there on the Gas Gas and Yamaha and some other top finishes, but i don't think that riding style works consistently well on a 450. it's sorta been proven already...
my $.02
Honestly, yeah. He would probably need to soften his suspension, stop prioritizing Jump sections and "hucks," and roll through turns faster with less heavy braking to get next level speed, but that's easier said than done.
