However, Dean brings a lot to the table with Instagram and who he is. For marketing, I thought Answer gear was looking good while he was on KTM, he helped make O’Neal look cool again and now Shift. He just needs to stay out on the track more if the injuries could stop.
There's HEP Motorsports and Phoenix Racing who are SX only but I wouldn't bet on seeing him on either of those teams.

Dean has been through hell with back to back injuries. IF there were a riders union he would be on injured reserve over the years with financial security. When these guys get hurt they come back too soon for financial reasons and to stay relevant in order to keep or get a ride. The injuries snowball. Adam C. another example.
Nevermind, maybe I don’t....
This should be the 450 class:
Eli Tomac, Ken Roczen, Jason Anderson, Marvin Musquin, Justin Barcia, Zach Osborne, Aaron Plessinger, Blake Bagget, Cooper Webb, Jeremy Martin, Malcolm Stewart, Chad Reed, Joey Savatgy, Cole Seely, Juston Bogle, Alex Martin, Dean Wilson, Martin Davalos, Justin Hill, Christian Craig, Josh Hill, Josh Grant, Phil Nicoletti, Weston Peick.
Its not even a whollleee lot different between the Martin Brothers, Davalos, Justin Hill, Craig, and the rule change has moved Osborne, Plessinger, and Savatgy was a team call. This is the way it should be, look at that top 10. Hows that for competitive?
Now the 250 class would be: Adam Cianciarulo, Austin Forkner, Dylan Ferrandis, Rj Hampshite, Jordon Smith, Justin Cooper, Thomas Covington, Shane Macelrath, Cameron McAdoo, Chase Sexton, Garrett Marchbanks, Jimmy Decotis .... very very good. Then this leaves a bunch more spots open because theres a lot of MAJORLY fast amateurs coming up/over who need rides and the more good 250 riders we can bump up to the 450 class in turn we can get better 250 riders in the series vs certain riders sticking around in the 250 class forever.
November 2012 when Dean got left holding his dick. Here’s the Vital thread:

Is he going to ride a twisted development bike again, for the MEC? If he's even racing it Im not sure if he is.
I don't know Deans financial situation, but to race a dirt bike at the highest level near the end of your career for only 35,000.00 plus some shitty bonus here and there seems like a waste of time to me.
Dean may be better off hanging up the boots and starting a business , or getting a non-racing job - the kid has been racing pro for what, 9 years now?
His window of opportunity is closing fast, and risking your life racing for $16.83 per hour is not my idea of success...
And should the guys on 250's be earning that much? It's definitely a weird system where guys can make more money if they choose to stay in the lower class.
I'd love to see Feld's books. I think each SX round pays out around $125,000 in purse money plus another $25k or so to the year-end points leaders. If each round of SX has 30,000 fans at $50/ticket, that's $1.5M gate revenue. I'm sure it's expensive to build those tracks, but is there really only $150k to pay the riders?
