who cares really? Why are you guys so passionate about nothing. He didn’t go, big whoop.

No I’m serious. I was trying to think who Haiden rides like and it hit me. J Law ! Aggressive yet technical and with that flare

His Dad's marketing genius made him the most popular rider in the States before he even turned pro. Kid is 17. He should be out living on his own?

If it fits their personal feelings about Haiden or Brian, then they will believe it.

The "terms" were probably 60k like Ferrandis is rumored to have asked to the french federation, to cover all the expenses to bring their bikes and team. The deadline was Friday, they didn't get the green light, so they didn't go. I think it is very simple. Ok to race for free but no way to spend 60k just for 1 race that generates actually so much for the promoter and, as it was very successful, to the organizer which also highly rely on unpaid volunteers.

He also raced Mini Os in November (one of the most impressive amateur rides I've ever seen), straight into supercross prep. Really do get him wanting a break. Especially as a high school aged kid

It was said and reported publicly by credible people in the industry and media so that’s not hearsay…it wasn’t taking a rumor that nobody can corroborate and trying spread it as fact as some on here are trying to do….but like I’ve said before if you think that DC, Mike Pelletier, Paul, and Weege are all conspiring to mislead the moto community….well then keep riding the tinfoil wave…

Sorry but that’s bullshit….the facts are out there in the open but yet you have a theory based on hearsay….

I did that in another thread and you're welcome to go look it up but in a nutshell DC, Mike Pelletier, Paul Perebijnos, Weege and now Deegan himself has said publicly that Star made the call not to go…but regardless of all that you have a “theory” that they are all lying….sometimes you just have to admit that you are wrong….

If Yamaha didn't want to send him, I'd imagine they wanted to wait a year, let him gain a bit more experience, then go next year in a position to put the Yz up front, maybe with Tomac going as well.

He actually said he would go if Yamaha was willing to send him, the complete opposite of what you claimed..oh well..I guess making up things got you the response you wanted. I’ll bow out..

Selective quote..again you claimed he said - I don’t want to represent- completely false and you know it….Why make shit up?

But bashing a kid's patriotism is so much fun.. I can see even in some of the comments here, folks are still not willing to accept that he was willing to go - everything they are reading and hearing just can't be true because it kills their anti-Deegan, and anti-American agenda. I know, downvote, don't care. It is true.

You really believe Deegan was like- “ I don’t want to represent”? Come on some of you ..easy to believe shit or just straight up make it up. Bad side of VitalMx..

I have been a fulltime pro mx coach for 35yrs now, foot work is SO important to building a professional rider and it won’t matter on e bikes, I reckon I would have sent Hunter and Jet to a bmx coach with there e-bikes between my visits if future mx bikes weren’t going to have feet controls. It ruins at least 90%of riders without them even knowing and is the base of my coaching, lucky I’m getting old and can retire soon.

Don't use the term Captain America.....or Matthes eye twitching will return....

He said pretty much what I thought he would say, same with Brian. I then watched The Craig Family vlog of the whole trip to France and it was a really good watch. It's an hour long but a good watch.

Last year at RedBud Star let Geerts and a few others use Star Yamahas, I wonder if Bobby asked for the same in return this year and wasn't getting it.

Haiden also admitted that he he was ready for a break and a mental reset. Although he said he would have went if Yamaha was willing to send him. The U.S series is insanely long and competitive. I couldn’t imagine being a 17 year old rookie running the full schedule at the pace that Deegan ran every week. It is always easy for us keyboard warriors to make assumptions about a person/ team. Evidently it is easy for us to spend other people’s money as well.
