Looks familiar. Just sayin.

I'm old school, and I crap talk Deegan a lot...but coming from 20th at the start to 5th on a track like Pala in his first 450 race against the pack of bad dudes like that is pretty impressive in my opinion. I don't like his mouth, but to be fair...this sport needs a "villan" to make things a little more spicy.

If the theatrics and marketing hype derail your whole understanding of the actually racing and sucks you in, that’s on you. A reasonable motocross fan sees a likely solid result for a rookie. The only ones rewriting it are the haters and the extremists on both sides, ironically both pretty much doing the exact thing they claim to “hate.” And at this point, both sides are annoying as fuck. Across the motocross internet not just this site it’s mostly Deegan talk, a little Jett noise, and barley any acknowledgment of the guy who actually obliterated the field. . .

I was at Pala yesterday. Very interesting stuff. So many takeaways that disappointingly aren’t being discussed here. I’ll throw the Deegan Duranged some rage bait—I 💯 believe Deegs and Jett are the best two guys in the 450 class after what I watched. I have many reasons for saying that after seeing them up close. Anyways, I’ll let the ladies get back to cat fighting. Enjoy.

Exactly. It’s not like he has always been as good as he is, especially indoors. His ‘squad’ is going to analyze the crap out of wherever he needs to work, and you know they’re going to grind and grind until they get the results. They have perfected finding areas of improvement and fixing them (like him or not). Bagging on him for a fifth place in the first round might be a little premature. I’d say if he’s still talking smack like he does after the fifth round with the same results, it would be warranted. People are knee jerking...

People love him or hate him but putting that aside, was anyone genuinely surprised by the results? It was well within reasonable expectations.

Another deegan thread proving their strategy right once again, and you didn’t even know it.

Nice.... I made the cut. 😎 I stand by my statement. Dude tried to not qualify on purpose. GTFO here...

Hunter looks good… Looked at how Hunter did over his first 15 races when he transitioned into 450 which he did during Supercross… Look how he did during his transition. Took Hunter 10 races to get on the podium and over 15 races to begin his appearances regularly on the podiums. Everyone has a different learning curve… A 5th and 4th finishing behind Jett in both races is solid for Deegan. He actually ran a faster lap time than Jett in the first moto. Jett is super smooth and has had an undefeated season which says a lot. I’m not...
