My family and I were trackside standing by all the Deegans after the 250 main on saturday night. They are just good people, an incredible family unit from Brian and Marissa all the way down to Hudson. They couldn't have been nicer and more approachable. It was awesome to meet famous and wealthy people and they are still down to earth and nice.
@@lynch42obro you’re actually pathetic… looking at all your comments stop trying to get a reaction out of people just bc you get absolutely no attention from anyone in real life. Go try and get a life to live and not be so miserable hating on a 18 year old kid😂😂 blows my mind how pathetic someone can actually be
Crazy how the kid gets so much hate. Money doesn't make you fast. Sure its nice to have the sweet rides and be able to travel to all the races but without putting in the work none of the money matters. I know a lot of rich kids who fizzled out by now.
The amount of kids with rich parents who pay for them live at these facilities like SOB and MTF usually never make it to the pros. Yet no one seems to understand that.
And none of the work matters if you don’t have the money to train,ride everyday,have your own track etc. in this sport you have to have money to get somewhere but you also need the the desire/fire, ability.
@@Tspin317 cause these rich kids can walk away from moto and their parents will continue to spoil them in whatever they wanna do! It’s the kids who’s parents don’t have a lot of money that do really well! The see how hard their parents work and they don’t wanna go pour concrete for 8-10 hours a day with their dad! So they bust their asses and work hard so they get sponsors and win race and make the big bucks! The rich kids see it as hard work and that’s not something they wanna do! Why should they? Their parents spoil em so why not do nothing and still get everything you want!
But also money gets you high level of training which isn’t a bad thing, at least his dad was smart and saved his money instead like most people that blow it like no tomorrow
Haiden has put in the work and physical training, it's like a job with Star Yamaha, 8-5 riding all day and working out and running. He has the most natural talent I've seen in a long time. He will do a lot for the sport I hope!!!!!!
Christian is one of the most underrated guys on a bike. So many people overlook him because of his many years on a 250. The guy did what paid him the most money. Everyone who trashes him about it would have done the same thing he did, if you exclude the comebacks from injuries. They would have all quit. Craig is a stud. I like his Old Man too, faults and all. He knows he made a lifetime of poor decisions. I hope him and Christian can develop a good relationship. I know Mike would love to be involved with the grandkids.He knows he blew it with his own kid, so might want to be better for them. It might be wishful thinking on my part.
Christian is right about Haiden! Kid is gonna win multiple Championships! It might not happen right away, but the kid is gonna learn and learn fast. And yes Paige Craig is an absolute sweetheart! She is so nice and so much fun to just talk with! I always make a point at the races to at least stop by and say hello and chat with her. I’m a big CC fan as well. He is super cool and easy to talk to. And Jase another great podcast my man! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@Bandzino91 you think he's a good dude? He dont even pay his dad Mike Craig his respect. If it wasn't for Mike, Christian wouldn't be shit. I just cant respect someone that doesn't respect there dad that got him into motocross and helped open many doors for him and now just ignores him and doesn't bring him along just cause he did a little bit of tweak and tossed off at the whack shack.
he still gotta race the other guys who won a championship besides Jett but we haven’t even seen the kid actually race yet. AC and Forkner did wonders in amateur racing and when they went pro they spent more time watching the races from the sidelines.
We have seen him race though. Just cause he makes it look easy dosnt mean he hasn't raced! Watch his Loretta Lynn's races or his mini Os he smokes everybody. Just cause the kids he races arnt pros they are still the best in the country. And he did race two events at last years outdoors and finished in to 10 in one, pretty impressive for a 16 year old.
I always thought the revving was to maximize acceleration when landing a jump. also could be leftover from his two stroke days to keep the engine from bogging on landings. Whether you like it or not he is fast.
That’s what I always felt like it was. It’s just habit from having to do it so much on 80s and what not. I feel like most riders still do it when they first transition and some take longer than others to realize it’s not really needed as much.
@@zanerollins3394 Haiden knows the stopwatch doesn't lie and there are plenty of people holding one whenever he rides. Also he was revving the ever loving crap out of the bike at mini-o's when he won from last place so if it isn't broke don't fix it🙂
He was mainly talking about the fact that 4 strokes don't need to be ridden in a higher rev range to get the best performance out of the engine, they keep pulling throughout each gear change, unlike the 2 strokes where having the bike in the right gear while keeping the rpm in the sweet spot to get the best performance out of those engines. And that can definitely take a while to adjust to, Reedy said it took him longer than Ricky and James to figure out how to ride the 4 strokes when they did the transition from 2 to 4 strokes. That becomes irrelevant though when you ride the 500cc 2 strokes lol, but what riding those things teach you is throttle control and selection gear change time, as does the 250 2 strokes, but not as much as they can still be ridden in to high or low rpms
Cant wait for the Deegan era. This sports in such a good spot! 90s will always be The goated era. But this new era is so close to that with all the talent
Out of a lot of people Christian Craig I wish I could meet you you rip my brother And you're always so humble on camera I don't know you and I've never met you but I belive your humble off a camera too good twisting my friend
Can't hate that kid he RIPS!!! First year and he is on the podium multiple times heat race wins!! He backs it up!! And it's the GENERALS offspring! METAL MULLISHA!!!!!!!!!! Let's goo!
I wish both Hayden and Jet all the best and look forward to this years races. Lets not put a curse on them by crowning them the champs already. One crash has ended many careers, especially when they are going so fast. Just because of who Deegans Dad is doesn't mean he hasn't been busting his Ass his whole life.
sick to see that a big reason why Chase Sexton is where he is is because of Christian, ive never heard that story of him hitting up Paiges dad to get Chase on the Geico team, feel like thats something that gets swept under the rug
I remember when Chase an Christian showed up to one of our local southern illinois tracks to ride and Chase was on the 250f Yammie when he first moved up to big bikes and They were both incredibly fast.I have 2 sons that grew up racing moto in illinois so we saw Chase fairly often and its been awesome to watch that young mans journey to the professional Level.
I think Christian brings up a good point about other riders demeanor changing when they race against him. Haiden is making the competition raise their intensity which means better and more competitive racing for us fans.
Good interview man. Craig was soo on point. The biggest thing I've ever noticed that would make Haiden faster is the revving. Gear up and use more torque and flow than show. 😁Two great families there. Good luck to all
@@jakebrake4634 actually,I've just finished watching this video,in this sense, Christian and the OP I believe are talking about him not shifting quick enough,letting the bike rev too long before shifting. but yeah, usually people are talking about in the air.sorry for any confusion
Going back to when Christian was on Geico, I had the pleasure to ride at two camps CC hosted in small town Kimball MN. CC accompanied by Jerry Robin (who CC had under his wing at the time) ran these two camps with maybe 20-30 riders. Christian was so freaking nice - he met with all of us personally and coached us in different areas on the track. One of my absolute favorite memories from when I rode. I will forever be a massive CC fan - such a rad dude.
I really appreciate mr craigs consistency of his genuine personality, living his best life and his wife they work so well together and the example is refreshing. great ambassador for the sport, a real classy family much respect
I have nothing but love and respect for Haden . His work ethic is something every father wishes that their son or daughter would develop in life . Christian Craig is just a all around good man . He is so talented, and I wish him the best this season. I personally don't understand how anyone could hate on any of these young men and women who choose to race dirt bikes . It is the most grueling dangerous sport in the world. When it's done at the top level, it is so amazing to watch . I do hate one thing about the sport . It's the injuries 😪 that break my heart to see any of these amazing athletes get seriously hurt and end their season or career. After all the work they put in to get into the position to win a Supercross or motocross race 🏁 and it can be over in the first corner. I am so proud of them all . My favorite riders don't have to win for me to enjoy the race . I truly just enjoy watching the art of racing a dirt bike . It's a beautiful thing to watch perfection in motion.
People keep saying money doesn't make you fast, that's not true. Money lets you ride whenever you want, build tracks at your house, travel to all the races. Think about all the natural talent out there that never makes it because the finances weren't there to aid the rider
The distorted view of him winning his first races comes from James Stewart And Eli tomac winning their first pro races . He's super fast but he's not quite like js7 or Eli .
Glad Craig was on, sometimes you just need to see the person without the helmet to understand the person in the helmet. Never been a Craig fan, but this podcast changed that, you can't get from pre/post race interviews when they're trying to stay focused or jacked with adrenaline. Seems like the kind of guy I would like to be around at the track. Hope he starts to click in the 450s.
Everybody is jealous of the kid. I get it, they hang money and dad was able to buy the kid whatever he wanted and had all the bikes when lots of other families struggle to get their kids to the races. But damn.
The fact that Hayden has had a target on his back his entire life will make him even better. Imagine having every kid on the track trying their hardest to beat you and racing you harder than the other riders.
Been a lot of kids over the years that were supposed to be apart of the “Next 6 Years” and didn’t make it or had an injury that ended their career. Never know what can happen in this sport at the pro level man.
I always thought all that revving was from riding two strokes in the past. I sure did, pin it and use the clutch as your throttle. It sure sounds ridiculous on these tractors lol. Great interview 😏👍
I think what Matthes has said about the early popularity and huge following before he's even a pro putting a HUGE target on his back from his competition carries weight. Hope the best for him and I'm sure he'll be a multi time champ, but dudes are gonna race him differently than everyone else for sure.
I've said it forever, just because you have a famous dad and money DOESN'T mean you have the skill.... Sure you may last a little bit with that stuff but you will 100% fizzle out when your skill isn't up to par. Hayden is very good, very determined, and very skilled and he's only a kid lol. He surrounds himself by the best and takes full advantage. There's so much shit that we don't see when it comes to him and what's put online. Dude is a next level soon to be legend in the sport.
money and who is dad is helped him tremendously. Tony Hawks kids were better than him at street before they were teenagers. When you have a skate park in your backyard, that will happen... I come from the same cloth, give me that chance and I would of been a dog on that bike as well.
Dude I say the same thing with the reving, I can close my eyes n just listen to the videos and know when Hayden comes rippin around just from how the bike sounds.. 🤣🤣🤘🏻🤘🏻Haiden is damn good tho 💪🏻
Shifting higher is going to help with the way that the bike handles as well, less revs is less rotating mass and the bike should turn better. He is going to be so much smoother in a taller gear provided that the drive chain is geared right for the track. Idk if he actually revs that hard when he is on the ground or if it’s just that he loves to bounce it off the limiter between jumps.
Its funny hearing you talk about how the camera is around him all the time. It's like a modern motocross version of the Truman Show. Everyone is watching and wondering how his life is going to go. Kinda crazy.
I don't know what you guys are trying to see over your high freestyle set up bars, but a kid named Beaumer in the futures at A2 was going the speed of the best in the world and was beating Haiden by an average of .625 seconds a lap, (who was running with the about 13th in the world) in the qualifying rounds. He crashed or something in the futures main at A2, and was not at Houston. You will hear about him soon.
haiden was not riding like his usual self at A2, haiden is usually 5 seconds faster than bennick in a lap, but Bennick was faster in A2 😂 so yea Haiden didn't race like he usually does at A2
Haha. I watched 5 mins of him the other day an can see why everyone hates on him. Definitely a unique personality, I'm sure it all stems from being spoilt I'd prob be the same in that position. He will learn
I guess it’s about how he handles himself too. Given all of the advantages he’s been blessed with I feel like controlling your ego would be very hard. Especially at such a young age.
Not saying that the raving this isn’t because of insta but I know form experience I find myself riding a gear lower all the time because of my 2 stoke background where I needed to keep the rpm’s up way higher than on my 250
You cant deny talent. Dude is an animal and hes humble. Wasn’t a fan a while go but seeing him grow up and become who he is.. I respect it. He’s definitely on the right path. Love you deegan stay humble and don’t let the hate get to you 🙏🏼👍🏼🙌🏼👏🏼💨💨💨💨
Who gives a f*** if they like you or not when they're eating the dirt off your back tire, people don't need to like you they just need to respect you 💯
most likely, but only to a point or a percentage of people. he already has way more haters than Jett does or ever did. you have to ask yourself why that is and factor that answer in to this topic.
There is always going to be someone with an opinion on how someone else should be racing or what they should be doing, when 7/10 times that person does sweet FA with their own time, except judge and hate on people makin moves. Haiden is great talent and is going to go far. Whether he is a rich kid or has his dads career behind him or not, he still gets up every day and trains and puts in the work.
I have to disagree about the privileged thing. MX is now a rich kids sport. Not only do the bikes cost ridiculous amounts, but the aftermarket parts needed to be remotely competitive, can double the original cost. Plus land and machinery is required to build quality motos and practice tracks. Plus the travel and housing to get to places to compete. The kid with a 15 year old bike, yet had incredible natural talent, that's living in a suburban double-wide on a 1/4 acre that can only use a shovel on public land or risking impoundment for trespassing, will never be able complete with a rich kid on a brand new machine loaded with aftermarket parts, that has acreage and a half a million dollars in machinery to adjust/ improve a private track. Fifteen years ago, there were top tier riders that grew up making jumps with shovels, and sleeping in tents on race day. Not any more. There's $600,000 motor homes pulling a trailer with $40,000 bikes. It's a rich boys game now.
@C.Nash For sure, I see them every day, often helping. My point was that they can't compete with the rich kids. Having the talent does not get you there anymore. Sure, you race regionals, on a $700 15yo bike. You make the podium a few times earning a thousand dollars. How is that going to get a poor kid from Pennsylvania to Florida for 3 days when his parents are barely scraping by in a 2007 pickup with a blown head gasket? How is that $700 bike going to compete against a $20,000 bike in the same class? What do you use the earnings for? Fix the truck? Mod the bike? Because a few thousand can't do both. The sport has completely changed.
His “amateur” bike is a straight up Star Racing factory bike well north of 20 grand. They freaked out when homey tried to use the buy the bike rule literally destroyed the kid who dared to step to the Deegans!
@C.Nash I'm not saying give up on your passion. My 8yo son just got his first 50cc Suzuki. He is absolutely addicted, rushing home to do his homework and hit the trails. For his birthday I brought him to a riding school. There were kids out there with the same bike as him....but with aftermarket shocks, intakes, clutches, triple trees, fully ported engines, custom plastics, titanium exhaust... In passing, I asked some parents how much it cost... "Only about ten thousand". On a $2,200 bike?!? That really sank in. Especially once I found out that the kid wasn't very enthusiastic about riding. I'll never dissuade my son's passion. I'll back him up every step of the way. But, I had to work my ass off just to finance his bike.
You doesn’t really work when your comparing a kid who grew up with factory tuned bikes and is already making a salary. To make it you need money, work ethic, a little bit of talent. It’s flat out ignorant to deny Deegans a silver spoon racer but unlike many he’s got the hunger to want to be successful.
He is 16. We used to cut the mufflers off everything and then rev the engines for no reason. My buddy had a $200 toyota corolla that did 0-60 after you found a steep enough hill to get to 60. But after we cut the muffler off and put the exhaust out the side we sounded faster.
Running in a higher gear is not the answer to going fast. You learn to ride using the higher rpm of the motorcycle. You would never drop them a second by telling them not to keep rpm high. One of many things taught to me by my motocross instructor Gary Bailey
Brian's dad taught him about business, there is a good story about him in an old RacerX worth digging up then you will see why they are being successful.
LoL, when I first started racing a long time ago, everyone was so nice to me. The guys would help me load my bike. The better I got, the meaner they got. That can be you gage - the meaner they are means you're getting better!! LoL 😀

@@Racerman27410 you definitely ain’t wrong. I ain’t got no issue with. Just a theory on why I think some riders do it more often than others
Ive always revved on landing to tighten chain and stiffen suspension- also helps to direct the bike in a straight line once you land
He was mainly talking about the fact that 4 strokes don't need to be ridden in a higher rev range to get the best performance out of the engine, they keep pulling throughout each gear change, unlike the 2 strokes where having the bike in the right gear while keeping the rpm in the sweet spot to get the best performance out of those engines.

Living on the rev limiter seems to work for Tomac
He might be the one exception to the rule lol. He’s actually using all of the power.
And soooo many other 450 guys too…Barcia has been on the rev limiter since his past life
no dumbed down tune, factory mapping, dudes a fukn beast
Rev it like Tomac.
I said the same shit! 💯 Lmao
I wish both Hayden and Jet all the best and look forward to this years races. Lets not put a curse on them by crowning them the champs already. One crash has ended many careers, especially when they are going so fast. Just because of who Deegans Dad is doesn't mean he hasn't been busting his Ass his whole life.
Jett is already a champion though
The kid can ride! He's wicked fast, committed, dedicated and exciting!

So awesome to finally see Christian on!
Agreed!

Good interview man. Craig was soo on point. The biggest thing I've ever noticed that would make Haiden faster is the revving. Gear up and use more torque and flow than show. 😁Two great families there. Good luck to all
I can't believe that no one talks about Rider Difrancesco, He's so fast!
Hater's will be hater's,we all make our own lives,and the Deegans are living their lives,now go live yours,🇺🇸🗽😎🏁
They don't like him because he rides like his dad did. He knows he's talented and literally imposes his will on his bike out there
The over revving has drove me nuts for years but he makes it work so far I just hate to see him way out front someday and blow his engine up.
What exactly do you guys mean when you say he’s reving like on the limiter in the air or riding too high of an rpm and not shifting?

It is the most grueling dangerous sport in the world. When it's done at the top level, it is so amazing to watch . I do hate one thing about the sport . It's the injuries 😪 that break my heart to see any of these amazing athletes get seriously hurt and end their season or career. After all the work they put in to get into the position to win a Supercross or motocross race 🏁 and it can be over in the first corner. I am so proud of them all . My favorite riders don't have to win for me to enjoy the race . I truly just enjoy watching the art of racing a dirt bike . It's a beautiful thing to watch perfection in motion.
Remember, at Mino Os, he rode the 450A class on a 250...
People keep saying money doesn't make you fast, that's not true. Money lets you ride whenever you want, build tracks at your house, travel to all the races. Think about all the natural talent out there that never makes it because the finances weren't there to aid the rider
The Sound Cloud analogy was perfect! 😂🎯
Gotta change Haiden's name from Danger Boy to Method Man, cause he's gonna BRING THE PAIN! 👊👊
The distorted view of him winning his first races comes from James Stewart And Eli tomac winning their first pro races . He's super fast but he's not quite like js7 or Eli .
Tomac got waxed right after winning his first race for awhile
I think Tomac was also older his first pro race
I think Tomac got heat sickness in Texas right after he won his first national race and took time to recover while he continued to race.
I think the days of top ammy guys coming in and smoking their first race are long gone. Sport has advanced a lot
@@ahsnap9103 tomac didn't do shit in supercross his first year
Glad Craig was on, sometimes you just need to see the person without the helmet to understand the person in the helmet. Never been a Craig fan, but this podcast changed that, you can't get from pre/post race interviews when they're trying to stay focused or jacked with adrenaline. Seems like the kind of guy I would like to be around at the track. Hope he starts to click in the 450s.
I feel it's gonna be the new Carmichael vs Stewart we've all been been craving for so fucking long!
Hey, you spelled your name wrong… ask me how I know.
I look forward to watching Chase, Jett, Hunter and Jo battle also. There will never be another Carmichael vs Stewart
When he said he takes pictures with the fans and comes and picks up my kid to play deagan is truly Humble
Everybody is jealous of the kid. I get it, they hang money and dad was able to buy the kid whatever he wanted and had all the bikes when lots of other families struggle to get their kids to the races. But damn.
The fact that Hayden has had a target on his back his entire life will make him even better. Imagine having every kid on the track trying their hardest to beat you and racing you harder than the other riders.
Been a lot of kids over the years that were supposed to be apart of the “Next 6 Years” and didn’t make it or had an injury that ended their career. Never know what can happen in this sport at the pro level man.
Haiden reminds me of RC. He’s got so much desire to win and beat everyone.
I always thought all that revving was from riding two strokes in the past.
I sure did, pin it and use the clutch as your throttle. It sure sounds ridiculous on these tractors lol.
Great interview 😏👍
4-strokes for life brah! Bring that smoker to the track.
5yrs from now Jet V Deegan will be 🔥🔥
Been thinking that for a while myself
I think what Matthes has said about the early popularity and huge following before he's even a pro putting a HUGE target on his back from his competition carries weight.
Hope the best for him and I'm sure he'll be a multi time champ, but dudes are gonna race him differently than everyone else for sure.
I've said it forever, just because you have a famous dad and money DOESN'T mean you have the skill.... Sure you may last a little bit with that stuff but you will 100% fizzle out when your skill isn't up to par. Hayden is very good, very determined, and very skilled and he's only a kid lol. He surrounds himself by the best and takes full advantage. There's so much shit that we don't see when it comes to him and what's put online. Dude is a next level soon to be legend in the sport.
money and who is dad is helped him tremendously. Tony Hawks kids were better than him at street before they were teenagers. When you have a skate park in your backyard, that will happen... I come from the same cloth, give me that chance and I would of been a dog on that bike as well.
Full podcast?
Currently only on our member platform. Dropping some time this week on here
Dude I say the same thing with the reving, I can close my eyes n just listen to the videos and know when Hayden comes rippin around just from how the bike sounds.. 🤣🤣🤘🏻🤘🏻Haiden is damn good tho 💪🏻
Great job from Mom and Dad. Go HD
Shifting higher is going to help with the way that the bike handles as well, less revs is less rotating mass and the bike should turn better. He is going to be so much smoother in a taller gear provided that the drive chain is geared right for the track. Idk if he actually revs that hard when he is on the ground or if it’s just that he loves to bounce it off the limiter between jumps.
Its funny hearing you talk about how the camera is around him all the time. It's like a modern motocross version of the Truman Show. Everyone is watching and wondering how his life is going to go. Kinda crazy.
“I’m on the Deegan show!!”
I think the high reving is from coming off a 2 stroke. Gotta keep the power band open
Good stuff. Christian is a great dude.
I had a nice convo with Paige at ATL 22 and Jager was selling Boxo tools for me while I was in the Star pits. It was a blast.
DangerBoy Deegan is 17 now! Jan 10 🤘
Hey gypsytales my name is Jay Figueroa I currently own a KTM SX-F that my dad bought from you guys and it’s all in white
Damn, I thought this was about Justin Barcia!😂
I don't know what you guys are trying to see over your high freestyle set up bars, but a kid named Beaumer in the futures at A2 was going the speed of the best in the world and was beating Haiden by an average of .625 seconds a lap, (who was running with the about 13th in the world) in the qualifying rounds. He crashed or something in the futures main at A2, and was not at Houston. You will hear about him soon.
haiden was not riding like his usual self at A2, haiden is usually 5 seconds faster than bennick in a lap, but Bennick was faster in A2 😂 so yea Haiden didn't race like he usually does at A2
Haha. I watched 5 mins of him the other day an can see why everyone hates on him.
Definitely a unique personality, I'm sure it all stems from being spoilt I'd prob be the same in that position. He will learn
I guess it’s about how he handles himself too. Given all of the advantages he’s been blessed with I feel like controlling your ego would be very hard. Especially at such a young age.
Not saying that the raving this isn’t because of insta but I know form experience I find myself riding a gear lower all the time because of my 2 stoke background where I needed to keep the rpm’s up way higher than on my 250
It's the sound of the yzf 2022 sounds amazing
He's a humble kid thank his parents they raise him Right 👍
He doesn't remember that!
He's always ripped use to love watching those go pro 85 races
You cant deny talent. Dude is an animal and hes humble. Wasn’t a fan a while go but seeing him grow up and become who he is.. I respect it. He’s definitely on the right path. Love you deegan stay humble and don’t let the hate get to you 🙏🏼👍🏼🙌🏼👏🏼💨💨💨💨
Long overdue for Craig on here was an understatement need him on again near the end of the sx season
Is there any possibility he revs so hard because of all the 2 stroke riding and keeping it in the powerband?
Eli Tomac has something to say about that revving
If it ain't broke....dont fix it
This aged Well!!!!!!
Who gives a f*** if they like you or not when they're eating the dirt off your back tire, people don't need to like you they just need to respect you 💯
Danger boy is the man, he's going to be something very special.. I think he will be more popular than jett. When he becomes pro
most likely, but only to a point or a percentage of people. he already has way more haters than Jett does or ever did. you have to ask yourself why that is and factor that answer in to this topic.
There is always going to be someone with an opinion on how someone else should be racing or what they should be doing, when 7/10 times that person does sweet FA with their own time, except judge and hate on people makin moves. Haiden is great talent and is going to go far. Whether he is a rich kid or has his dads career behind him or not, he still gets up every day and trains and puts in the work.

Its crazy like you 2 have a crystal ball now !! If haiden wins this title holy hell 😳
I have to disagree about the privileged thing. MX is now a rich kids sport.
Not only do the bikes cost ridiculous amounts, but the aftermarket parts needed to be remotely competitive, can double the original cost.
Plus land and machinery is required to build quality motos and practice tracks. Plus the travel and housing to get to places to compete.
The kid with a 15 year old bike, yet had incredible natural talent, that's living in a suburban double-wide on a 1/4 acre that can only use a shovel on public land or risking impoundment for trespassing, will never be able complete with a rich kid on a brand new machine loaded with aftermarket parts, that has acreage and a half a million dollars in machinery to adjust/ improve a private track.
Fifteen years ago, there were top tier riders that grew up making jumps with shovels, and sleeping in tents on race day.
Not any more.
There's $600,000 motor homes pulling a trailer with $40,000 bikes.
It's a rich boys game now.
@C.Nash
For sure, I see them every day, often helping.
My point was that they can't compete with the rich kids.
Having the talent does not get you there anymore.
Sure, you race regionals, on a $700 15yo bike. You make the podium a few times earning a thousand dollars.
How is that going to get a poor kid from Pennsylvania to Florida for 3 days when his parents are barely scraping by in a 2007 pickup with a blown head gasket? How is that $700 bike going to compete against a $20,000 bike in the same class?
What do you use the earnings for? Fix the truck? Mod the bike? Because a few thousand can't do both.
The sport has completely changed.
Dude, all the tracks have open practice days/nights. Also, very few city kids in the sport.
His “amateur” bike is a straight up Star Racing factory bike well north of 20 grand. They freaked out when homey tried to use the buy the bike rule literally destroyed the kid who dared to step to the Deegans!
@C.Nash
I'm not saying give up on your passion. My 8yo son just got his first 50cc Suzuki.
He is absolutely addicted, rushing home to do his homework and hit the trails.
For his birthday I brought him to a riding school.
There were kids out there with the same bike as him....but with aftermarket shocks, intakes, clutches, triple trees, fully ported engines, custom plastics, titanium exhaust...
In passing, I asked some parents how much it cost... "Only about ten thousand". On a $2,200 bike?!?
That really sank in. Especially once I found out that the kid wasn't very enthusiastic about riding.
I'll never dissuade my son's passion. I'll back him up every step of the way. But, I had to work my ass off just to finance his bike.
You doesn’t really work when your comparing a kid who grew up with factory tuned bikes and is already making a salary. To make it you need money, work ethic, a little bit of talent. It’s flat out ignorant to deny Deegans a silver spoon racer but unlike many he’s got the hunger to want to be successful.
Yessss Christian
This is a really good podcast. We are so stoked to put this one out.
@@GYPSYTALES yeah, cant wait to listen or watch the full thing
He is 16. We used to cut the mufflers off everything and then rev the engines for no reason. My buddy had a $200 toyota corolla that did 0-60 after you found a steep enough hill to get to 60. But after we cut the muffler off and put the exhaust out the side we sounded faster.
Who, Haiden? He's 17, birthday was a few weeks ago
I keep telling people, whatever races Haiden decides to race East coast he will podium. The Kid’s been riding sx tracks since he was in diapers.
Only because all the top guys are injuredon the east coast now, just lost Shimoda aswell 😮💨
Is he riding east coast 250 this season
@@maaduece5132 Rumor is he might do a few races if things keep looking good 🤷🏻♂️
@@tcmx712 PC Kawasaki is definitely having some bike issues. Mcadoo crashed in the whoops qualifying 🤦🏻♂️
@@maaduece5132 SwapMotoLive released a video w/Brian Deegan, he said Haiden is signed up to race East Coast
Lets talk when he actually starts racing.
He's a smx world champion what's up 😂😂😂
Let him practice on a old 500 it’s. So cool to see the pros ripping on vintage bikes there should be a class
Running in a higher gear is not the answer to going fast. You learn to ride using the higher rpm of the motorcycle. You would never drop them a second by telling them not to keep rpm high. One of many things taught to me by my motocross instructor Gary Bailey
What’s crazy to say is chace sexton used to come to my races in Michigan at duch patch
Its those last couple of years on that 2 stroke!! Rev rev rev!!
Brian's dad taught him about business, there is a good story about him in an old RacerX worth digging up then you will see why they are being successful.
LoL, when I first started racing a long time ago, everyone was so nice to me. The guys would help me load my bike. The better I got, the meaner they got. That can be you gage - the meaner they are means you're getting better!! LoL 😀
When they pay attention to sign up sheets! Or looking for the certain truck and trailer pulling in at the gates.
So you’re saying he needs a sponsorship from Shift? 🙃
Christian is such a good dude.
