Since everyone hates on him he just posted video of him riding sx track on star bike for first time and he looks pretty dam good by end of video .For a 15 year old and only been on 250f since after Lorettas and first week on star bike and sx track first time looks dam good !!!https://youtu.be/m2_vvJztv8A
Guessing not that far off once he gets comfortable on the bike..
Still don't like socal bros though.
The Shop
It’ll be fun to watch him and Ferry step into the pro ranks soon. I know there’s a lot of hype and people are getting annoyed by it, but I appreciate the behind the scenes stuff. Moto is one of the few sports where we have so much access to content from the riders on a consistent basis.
But I would like to know his actual laps times compared to the other Star racers..
Wish him all the best.
I think the multiple threads about him that keep popping up on here gets to be a little overkill for some.
It will be interesting to see how his fan base develops as he turns pro.
Pit Row
I've met him, spoken with him, and he seems like a great, respectful kid with a ton of natural talent.
My issue was with the over the top hype and promotional machine surrounding a rider who is not yet ready for pro racing, when there are several other riders around his age with similar skills and speed who get little or no attention.
And that's all.
Deegan has talent and resources to be in the hunt for success. Furthermore, they (Star ) obviously understand the marketing machine.....which is...you guessed it....Social Media.
I can only admire the family as a whole. Anyone who can build a following and generate income from selling merch is doing the right thing by today's standards.
Star bagged him from KTM not because of his social media but because they are in the business of winning championships and Deegan has a pretty good chance of doung that in future. The timing is right, Star has time to groom him and prepare him for his Pro career.
Star and all his sponsors have the added bonus of his social media popularity.
Now we wait for 2025 to see how this unfolds.
I don't think anyone questions his talent and craft. It is all the crap surrounding him. It is like watching the Kardashians of SX/MX. It is all about media exposure and money from their youtube videos. If the kid doesn't make it like it everyone is expecting him to do, it will be interesting. I actually wish that they would take him to Europe to learn like Jett & Hunter L. But I know that they are wrapped up in the SX money train.
