Plays his part in causing a start crash in the heat and takes zero responsibility for it. Goes as far as to go and have a go at the guy he took out in the pits. Cuts the track on the first lap rather than wait like everyone else and race fairly. Ends Schock’s season by punting him for 7th place in the last turn. When challenged for his terrible attitude, behaviour and all round performance, yells at an AMA an official just to round it all off. Struggling to remember a single night where a factory rider has made...

The irony of posting this on a highly toxic forum is pretty hilarious.

I’ll be emailing you sir but Feld is gonna give us four tickets for you and your family. Also got some shirts for the little ones. Really sorry to hear that.

Ty man. We try to design both classic styles as well as stuff that’s way out there. We are one of the few companies that go down to a 2t/3t so designing kid specific stuff is always fun

Guy claimed (errr tried to) deegans bike Deegan and Cotter allegedly take him into a office and do the good cop bad cop routine on guy Guy and engine builder gets called over to his trainers tent (Matt walker) to be harassed and screamed at by walker and Donnie Luce played role of quiet tough guy His sponsor/dealer allegedly was threatened by someone that Yamaha would end their dealer agreement with them if guy went through with claim Guy drops claim Vital begins initial melt down phase RacerX tried to blow it over as nothing in a racerhead article Vital...

Lesson learned for anyone doing a "claim" in the future. Pull out your phone and tell everyone in the room, "This conversation is going to be recorded".

I've been a lifelong Yamaha fan and supporter. I was looking at getting a 2023 YZ450F to replace my '18 YZ450F. But after this bullshit behavior, Fuck Yamaha. I'll never buy another bike (or anything) from them for the bullshit behavior they displayed in this situation. What a bunch of wankers. Time to start riding other manufacturer bikes and look for my next ride, which won't be a Yamaha. Bunch of whiny little bitches. Turning the sport into a Jerry Springer Show. And fuck the Deegans, never root for them either.

I was thinking the same thing; no more blue for me now or ever. This whole thing is pretty repulsive on the part of MX Sports (Cotter), the Deegans, Yamaha USA, et al. Whole shitballs.....

If half of what is in the interview is true and it was up to me; Tim Cotter no longer has a job, neither has the Yamaha rep involved, Brian Deegan and Matt Walker are suspended from attending AMA events, while Star and Yamaha are issued with massive fines on the proviso they issue a public apology to Brennan Schofield. No satisfaction with the apology and they also get further sanctions. Couple of free bikes for Brennan wouldn’t hurt their cause.

Honestly, who gives a shit if the builder is involved or not? Don't want a builder to be able to claim that motor because the build spec is just too valuable to your factory team? Then don't bring it to a fucking amateur race!

i will say that the fact this thread hasnt been canned , says a lot about how things have changed here. Props to ML512

If you tell your kid he got beat because of the bike, you’re lying to them.
