The difference is pure volume and context, not whatever cope narrative you’re peddling: a couple of meaningless late nationals after dominating at the The Ranch doesn’t wipe out rookie status the next year, but a full prior pro SX campaign plus some outdoor and SMX starts absolutely does. Davies already burned through his first-year pro status in 2025. He’s not a rookie in the AMA ranks in 2026, period.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

WTF is wrong with you? You apparently LIVE for these Deegan Hate Threads. How many Deegan Hate posts have you made? Let me get this straight: You and a coupl'a other very strange "fans" spend your days hatin' on a TWENTY YEAR OLD racer? Which begs the question...again... WTF is WRONG with you? Huh. Damn. As I read that...? I just feel sorry for you.

These guys use the word bed bug like someone in grade 5 who learned a new cuss word.

I hope this is sarcasm 😂

Because you can’t even come into these threads anymore to enjoy bench racing without reading about grown ups pissed off about a kid and a t shirt for the last 10 weeks. He’s nowhere near the front, that’s blatantly obvious, but 95% of the board has to flood these threads with the same story week after week.

You’re acting the same way. You brought it on yourself. Pot meet kettle.

Barnett at Washougal in 82. Look at that dirt back then. How about some Magoo at the same race. Look how close you could get back then. Nice Mike Bell shot coming out of the "S" turns at the bottom of the downhill. Another of Magoo jumping up the start of Horsepower Hill.

There is a world wide problem for riders that has been pro’s and now just want to race for fun. If you have been fast once upon a time, there is a good chance that 90% of your max speed will stay with you for MANY years. Even 10 years after i stopped racing as a pro I could not line up and race a VET or Vintage class without complaints from others that i did not belong there. But where should I ride if I have not trained or raced seriously for 10 years?. The pro classes was not...

Comparison really is the thief of enjoyment - and it's still funny to see the same meltdowns in this thread and across the whole site. Even when someone puts some nice effort into a post. Some can't handle it with their hypothetical match ups and debates. I just enjoy watching the actual current racing some of you should try it. “To beat the champ, you gotta knock ‘em out!”- Joe Davis

I will say I was one of the ones who thought he’d struggle against the top 10. The only reason he’s zero’d out on the stats is because the Lawrence’s. He’s still empty on the scoreboard but he’s been better than I thought he’d be.
