I was stoked and a bit surprised Vohland made the jump this year, unfortunate what happened though with his injury. I'm all team green but I definitely was rooting for him.
ferry's kid could just be getting warm man! Can't judge their whole life based on what they're doing in amatuers. Everyone thought alessi and millsapps were gonna be the dominaters to the likes of McGrath. They were very successful, but not GOATs. And they killed it on mini's for sure.
Dunge didn't kill it on Mini's.......and look at him....
Know that Hymas is fast af.... he is a local kid and rips hope he does good. I heard he is moving up after lorettas also..
Stamp it.
Austin Stroupe
Ian Trettle
Just a few names that come to mind when talking about top name guys that it didnt really work out for.
This is my thought on most ppl succeeding though. It will be easier for someone that doesnt have money to succeed when times are tough. Nothing against Deegan and he could be that small percentage that really accels regardless of his parents money but I think people with less money have more of a desire or just something about them that helps them push more.
Example, where are MJ's kids? They didnt materialize in basketball. Same can be said for many top athlete's kids. Dont want to single out MJ there but its a good example. Even if they wanted to pursue another sport or passion they would have every opportunity at their disposal. Maybe they became successful at things outside of sports but we certainly never heard about it.
A few notables
2018 Lorrettas Nation Champion

Success at the amateur level doesn't really mean much to be honest. AC is another one that was very successful as an amateur, but that hasn't exactly translated to his pro career. He's had success at the pro level, no doubt, but he hasn't racked up a whole bunch of championships like a lot of people thought he was going to do. He's been at it since 2013 and has 1 pro title to his name.
He's still young at 24, so he has still plenty of time to win more championships.
I think the last dominant amateur riders that continued on that path once they turned pro were RC and James.
Who knows, maybe Deegan will one day be added to the list of greats in our sport. One thing is for sure, nothing is guaranteed. Will be interesting to watch.
Really excited to see Kitchen. I think in one of the swapmoto videos he said he might do the nationals even before LL?
