Do you know who Webb’s dad is? Know many moto dads that can sell their land in Nicaragua when their son gets serious about racing? https://www.vitalmx.com/forums/Moto-Related,20/Bobby-Webb-Coopers-Dad, 1297243

Deegs does not talk like he had no chances. He talks like someone who has constantly been written off, doubted, and dismissed by salty fans who are nothing but haters. Like yourself. By your criteria, Eli and Webb are also “silver spoon fed” because they had rich parents and unlimited access to resources since birth. So I suppose their achievements don’t count for as much either. Great take.

Deegs makes more money from YouTube than Jett does racing dirt bikes. Jett is pretty fast but he’s sitting at the little kid table when compared to Deegs.

I like how you wrote that. Nice job.

Pretty sure I’m older than you, your dislike for Deegan clouds your opinion…I’m sure you have noticed that he really doesn’t crash much, his race craft is better than anybody in the class by a lot, He’s no more aggressive on the bike than Eli is….As we have experienced Jett’s riding style hasn’t kept him off the ground and free from injury at all. I think it’s possible that when Deegan is on a 450 you will notice more similarities between him and Eli, he’ll be fine. As it is right now he makes fewer mistakes than his competitors do...

I'm by no means a Deegan fan, and I've been critical of his SX abilities, but damn. Maybe he will be threat indoors when he moves up. That was impressive.

I believe your looking for advice on a different riding style in order to keep riding Moto academy AJ and his trainers teach you to ride with the balls of your feet, and keep them on the pegs during corners. Have a look at his YouTube

AJ popping up on facebook is part of what got me thinking about my riding style/lessons. I haven watched his stuff on YouTube but plan to it while I’m semi laid up. I’m going to the store and therapy the dr has me doing along with ice on my knee, but taking it easy for the most part. Plan to go to the gym tomorrow for first time since surgery. I’m pretty good at riding balls of my feet but never learned to turn my hands in like his Videos on Facebook. At times I grip with my knees, other...

Because when you go to Loretta's there are not 60 250k RV's and kids with 30k Super Minis. Name someone in the last decade who did not spend a crap ton of money to race. And a big difference between 1977 and 2026. Pretty sure plenty of rich kids do not make it and Money can't buy speed.

Motocross isn’t a poor man’s sport and majority of the dudes lining up every weekend came from money. Then of course there’s a hundred thousand guys you don’t see on TV who also came from money and didn’t make it to the big show. Money doesn’t substitute natural ability and hard work. If you want to convince yourself otherwise coping because you’re a talentless nobody go ahead.
