Ryan, thanks for having the balls to be 100% honest about your life. I can relate and I’ll bet a lot of other people can too. We don’t get enough honesty out of peoples’ mouths these days.
Videos like this is why cooksey is so popular and his channel is growing so much. We as consumers enjoy his willingness to be wrong and admit his mistakes. He truly cares about the sport and the people in it. Thank you Cooksey and great job having RH to the channel.
This is why is respect you and follow your videos. You don’t see many people willing to admit that they are wrong and also willing to talk face to face with the person you mad the mistake with. Glad to know Ryno is in a good place. Much love!!
I'm glad you did this Cooks good that you and Ryno worked things out. It was easy for all of us to assume things at times with Ryno but he always seems to come back with logic. I don't think either of you was sugar coating. Keep up the good stuff, loved beating on Steve M on the Lorettas chat he was a good sport (I believe it really was him). Good cyberbench racing.
@@Corless116 Well he seemed to do one hellova job pretending then! I know there were a bunch of people on there using big names, "Steve M" did seem authentic at least... 🤣
You did a good thing with the report the other day, and your reasoning is valid. Thanks for asking Hughes about his training Forkner. You should have him as a guest often.
Good job Ryno and Cooksie. I’m impressed with Ryno and how he faced this issue. I think the old Ryno would have handled this totally different but instead he calmly had conversation with the guy and they worked out the issues man to man. This was a good example of 2 grown men working out an issue respectful of the others take on it. I am hopeful more can learn from this interview.
Ryno nailed it. Props to him for opening it up for everyone to see and understand. Great experience to listen to and he's absolutely correct. Great job, Cooksey!
Cooksey, great job listening to one of the big personalities in the sport. You swallowed your pride and took down the video. It's awesome to see you show so much respect to Ryno. Sure the dude is a Kook and out there, but he is very intelligent. You're winning me over. Great work!!!!!
Good shit. Ryno just had a buzz and was feelin it and someone put a camera phone in his face. I've always seen him as out there a little bit, in a good way. He's different and doesn't care. Nice to see you two cleared things up and had a back and forth. Cooksey, keep it up!
I got go riding with Ryan Hughes and Danny Laporte on a private track day at cahuilla creek sometime around 2005. It is one of my best memories from racing. Back then I was 6'3" 160ish and I always worried about my weight. He was the only guy that ever told me to put on more weight. I ended up putting on 20lbs at the gym and went from a top 10 C racer to a midpack A racer. Idk if I would've had the confidence to put on the weight without him getting in my ear. Excellent interview!
Just a great interview.. its hard to do.. especially with a legend.. proud of Ryan for doing that.. most dudes our age wouldn't bother.. Great wook Cook
The fact that Rhino didn’t absolutely rip you a new one proves that he has better mental health than me 😂 I do wonder if he tuned you in off of camera though 🤔 Great job Cooksey, keep ‘em coming 🙏
Lucky you, Cooksey -- talking to Ryno! Never met Hughes myself, but I did watch him for 8 years until his retirement in 2005. I wish I could get those interviews like you can.
Ryno is fucking awesome the world needs more people like him remember one thing Ryno your never alone and what you have accomplished in Your career will always reflect you
Love Ryno & love your content. You call it as you see it & you have the humility to be able to talk it out if you get it wrong & you leave no stone unturned. I find that SO refreshing here in the moto community & it makes me respect you & your content a lot because you handle these situations with a constant pursuit of truth & respect, no matter what. Keep it up & good vibes!🤙🏻
Ryan is great. He’s the crazy intense guy you say how’s your day and two hours later you can’t get away and 100% correct on every subject. He’s the Alex Jones of motorcross.
Ryan Hughes is the man. I got to meet him at Perris Raceway with Jeff Emig, David Bailey, and a few others they hosted a benefit training session for local rider Shane Kelly that passed away. ❤
@@donnygfpv7548 yes sir! That’s awesome you were there! My college roommate was really close with Shane. It was shocking. That 90 footer was huge back then! My buddy broke his leg bad on that on a YZ80, one time he landed his foot peg broke completely off the bike!
Awesome interview! Such a man move to come face to face with your actions and still maintain the intention of the integrity of them. Always two sides to every story and both sides have validity.
You are so good for the sport please keep up the good work thank you again I've had nine concussions into traumatic brain injuries mostly do for motorcycle racing and playing and people don't know the struggles that we all have gone through
Dont change a thing Cooksey, you say things how you feel about it. I agree with you on damn near everything. You've also never shyed away from admitting you were wrong and go out of your way to make it right. Keep up the good work man the Mob loves you.
Internal decapitation has a 90%+ rate of death, 3/4 die immediately. Ryno is such a deep person, with a talent for self reflection and self evaluation, that most people don’t possess. Always interesting to get a glimpse of what is going on in that brain of his.
I just retired from a 34 year career as an airline pilot, most of my career I was the captain of the ship. That same year my my youngest graduated from college, and moved out to start his career. Talk about feeling like a fish out of water….. the satisfaction of flying a beautiful machine, and being in charge of the aircraft and crew was very fulfilling. Then my surfing, buddy, my son, had to move away to start his new career. It’s been tough….. I am thankful for Jesus and my wife being with me each and every step…..
@@flyfishincrazy nope, I did see what looked like a burning house flying through the atmosphere one night over Newark, New Jersey. Ends up being space debris blazing orange and green as it descended upon the Earth. Titanium burns green when it’s heated to the melting point is what I’m told….
I’m shocked reading these comments. Ryno’s excuse for being plastered and acting inappropriately with a young lady he’s known since she was 13 is “it’s Loretta’s” if that was my daughter and a drunk man was bothering her with his dick root hanging out he’d be eating his teeth. If he thinks it’s OK why did he ask you to pull the video?🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
@CookseyMedia just like yall said. We're all going through it at one level or another... the key is recognizing when you're at that threshold. Keep up the good work brother 👍👍
Rhino and Eli tomac have a lot in common do live in solitude rhino lives out in the desert and Eli lives out in the middle of Colorado in the mountains his philosophical outlook on riding work ethic from Eli is why he a multi-time champion
Ryno's a great guy. He works hard and has been through a lot just like anyone who's rode moto forever and to see him be able to be comfortable and happy around his friends and someone records him with malicious intent is just messed up. People are not genuine like they used to be.
Here’s what really just happened in this video. Cooksey got star struck and completely let go of his integrity while letting embarrassed Ryno justify away his abhorrent behavior. This whole thing is so weak. Sorry folks. Not cool for both party’s. It’s too bad really.
Of course you’re entitled to your own opinion, but that seems a little ridiculous. What would make you think of something like that? Just out of curiosity.
Hmmmmmmm..... Seeing this vid, I now love Ryno even more than I did before. Also...Cooksey, I have even more respect for you now than ever before. SALUTE!!
Show me someone who is never wrong and I will show you an asshole (Matthes, Carmicheal ) I learn every day and keep learning. It takes courage to admit wrongs and correct them.
Cooksey, please don’t apologize for posting, we’re adults here if you didn’t post someone would have, and your right had friends that said everything great and then got the call also , found on beach, DOA, doing a great job!
Most people have it backwards. They think they need to change their thoughts to get better results in life but it's the other way around. Change your behavior first and your thoughts will improve as a result. That's right, "just do it" is good advice not just an ad slogan.
Take the video down about how to party "Pubes Out" wasted. Switch it with the video where i talk about riding "hips out" instead. Man you should not have apologized.
Cooksey, this is a perfect example of why plenty of people watch your Vlog's with a large amount of skepticism. You should really take this as a valuable learning experience. I like your content, however you are one to jump the gun and reach inaccurate and biased conclusions way to quick. You look at things very black and white in a predominantly gray world.
Ryno responded to you with respect and elaborated on his views about life, good conversation. I hope he can give you some insight on topics to expose more truth in the sport.
Cooksey , i thankyou sir 🙏 im from England. This video was great to watch . It was very honest of you to do ! Ryan is a great guy and talks the truth , i would love to be as strong as you both ARE . Ive suffered with depression and axiety for a long time now , ive tried the counselling, the tablets , for me none of it worked . It really does make you feel like giving up . Both you and Ryan understand this ,I too have hit my head a few times ! i would love to talk to you both and get some direction ....i understand this probably wont happen . I still ride and im 48 .anyway thankyou again for this 👍
Its a good job Ryno took that so well. Maybe next time ask the person if they're okay in private, rather than making a public video putting the question out there. And then make a video explaining how you reached out as you and others have seen the video, but good news, hes okay. If he wasn't okay this could have been terrible for his mental health.
I dont think alcohol should be allowed at the ranch. Its turns into a place were parents go to party while their kids ride dirtbikes. The simple solution to all the drama is remove alchohol
I don’t think you were wrong at all for posting the first video. I have a lot of respect for Ryan and have been a fan of his since the beginning. With that said, I’m not so sure that he doesn’t have a real problem. I wouldn’t keep apologizing for posting the video, and I would continue to do the same thing in any future situations in order to, bring to light anybody that may have a mental issue. You can always resolve it later as you did here in this video.
He was definitely pissed but when I explained my side he understood. He didn't like that I posted it, but he appreciated me not hiding and letting him explain. My intent of posting the video was not to hurt him, but to find our what in the hell was going on.
NICE INTERVIEW. I WAS A KNOKCOUT ARTIST IN FOOTBALL EARLY 2000S. THEN MX TOOK MY BODY TO THE NEXT LEVEL OF DAMAGE. AFTER THAT, I WENT PRO AT PARTYING... I HAVE LOST THREE MX FRIENDS TO THE PARTY FAZE.
I don't know Ryan Hughes personally. But he strikes me as a very deep individual when he explains things.If you listen he gets very passionate That's why he is deep and if you listen to him and follow,you will get him as a individual. Cooksey this is not directed at you.just talking about average individual who doesn't get him
Well done on posting this, and good on Ryno! But hey, it is not 1990s anymore?? Damn!! I wish it was!!! The good old days... when "what happens on tour, stays on tour" Now, whatever happens anywhere on the planet gets filmed, and soon the whole world can watch it online. One way I think the sport is doing better in regards to former champs and top guys, some racers are brand ambassadors, or even coaches, test riders and so on. They are keeping busy in the sport. Sure not enough spaces for everyone, but i think a lot more than before. Straight Rhythm... and select events the former pros come out for. They peak early, and everyone says "yes" to them etc when they are winning. As soon as you pass the peak.. it is massive life change. Ryno is right... people all of kinds feel it, we need to go back to the "village" where we have friends and such around us. Get off social media, know they neighbor. Ryno... if you read this, take up trail bike riding. You can take it has easy or hard as you want, but being out in the wild with nature, on a dirtbike, is awesome. It is a LIFE style.
Good to see you Ryan. Glad you did this! You know you could always call or text me. Hawaiian time… it’s basically never even late at night. Haha! Want to be on my Ultraman crew in Nov? My comment on that last video wasn’t too far off 😉
You back on the big rock? Thought you moved. When's your stark coming? I tried to pay for mine today, CC flagged it for the amount & location, lol. Should be here next(Oahu) month.
@@Marleysdad808 nope, still here. VARG comes in Oct (projected) but I cant really ride it until Dec. Can't risk any injury... even dumping it over, because rock cuts keep me out of the ocean for weeks with the staph risk! I have a 10k swim race this Sunday even. Still kind of recovering from broken ankles in May (and Nov).
@@JohnHowerton137 I can't wait, bet you're excited too. Good luck in your race! My daughter & I are racing the Kahuku Grand Prix trail race this Sunday too. First trail race for me since 2000/01. Daughters first race was this past IRC endurofest.
@@Marleysdad808 awesome! Good luck to the both of you and be safe! My first race back from the same era was nearly my end. Feel it out and remember... it's all just for FUN! 🤙
Ryan, thanks for having the balls to be 100% honest about your life. I can relate and I’ll bet a lot of other people can too. We don’t get enough honesty out of peoples’ mouths these days.
he's completely full of shit and lying here. Sorry man...but that's reality.
This conversion is amazing. Such a good example of how two men hash things out & talk about the more important things in life away from moto. Deep!
Videos like this is why cooksey is so popular and his channel is growing so much. We as consumers enjoy his willingness to be wrong and admit his mistakes. He truly cares about the sport and the people in it. Thank you Cooksey and great job having RH to the channel.
So reporting reporting any hot take videos, talking trash without checking any back story is ok?
What now two people drunk on power; you and Kooksie
Maybe Cooksey could interview Steve Mathis ,since he took what he said out of context. Or are clicks more important than truth?
@@louisxxxx Good point.
This is why is respect you and follow your videos. You don’t see many people willing to admit that they are wrong and also willing to talk face to face with the person you mad the mistake with. Glad to know Ryno is in a good place. Much love!!
I’m glad you did this Cooksey. I’ve definitely had my ups and downs with moto content. The difference is we don’t cancel people. Keep at it my friend.

Ryan gave my brother his riding pants. Green purple Kawi pants at barona race track in California back in 97. Such an amazing human

Ryano is so on point,, I wonder if he knows he’s totally full of PTSD like many of us older riders,,
He does and that's why he does Yoga and Meditation.
The fact that Rhino didn’t absolutely rip you a new one proves that he has better mental health than me 😂 I do wonder if he tuned you in off of camera though 🤔
Great job Cooksey, keep ‘em coming 🙏
Yes, off camera the anger was a bit more, but not much.

Awesome interview, love Ryno and his mindset and philosophy!
The important thing isn’t the mistake, it’s how you handle the mistakes or the hard times that define you.
Real motocross! Most important piece I've seen in this sport.
Dude you should ask Ryno to do a 30 minute show with you once a week you guys are great, it was awsome
Exactly.
Cooksey basically said that Ryno had his pubes out and mentally did not look right. Why would Ryno do anything with this gossip peddler?
@mxrider564 well what did you see on the video?
Ah this was a cool interview man … good stuff mate 👌
Awesome interview!
Great job guys !!!
Keeping your head right after your peak is just a fond memory, is tough. Happens to us mortals too, when we start to get older and have to slow down.

You should read the 4 agreements Cooksey. The third agreement of the 4 agreements is never make assumptions.
I love the honesty in Ryan and cooksey excellent discussion
I mean he was walking around with his dickroot out. That wasn't a joke lol.

Huges might be a mad genius
He talked his way out of his drunk behavior. I did that for over 20 years. Been sober now for 7 years.
Yea, but I am not close with him, I have to take him at his word. He says he doesn't normally drink, and the alcohol hit him hard….

Ryan's behavior in that video is not something to be laughed off. Regardless of what he says, he is struggling.
Everyone struggles, and the first step is awareness, which I think he has.

Now, whatever happens anywhere on the planet gets filmed, and soon the whole world can watch it online.
One way I think the sport is doing better in regards to former champs and top guys, some racers are brand ambassadors, or even coaches, test riders and so on. They are keeping busy in the sport. Sure not enough spaces for everyone, but i think a lot more than before. Straight Rhythm... and select events the former pros come out for.
They peak early, and everyone says "yes" to them etc when they are winning. As soon as you pass the peak.. it is massive life change.
Ryno is right... people all of kinds feel it, we need to go back to the "village" where we have friends and such around us. Get off social media, know they neighbor.
Ryno... if you read this, take up trail bike riding. You can take it has easy or hard as you want, but being out in the wild with nature, on a dirtbike, is awesome. It is a LIFE style.
Good to see Ryno. He's smashing it with Mike, Big Dick Richie, Dallas and Tito.
Making bank bro
Retired mxers should go race cross country. Still in the moto industry camping and enjoying the vibe of family and racing...
Real Talk Ryno. Even More of A fan Now
Good to see you Ryan. Glad you did this! You know you could always call or text me. Hawaiian time… it’s basically never even late at night. Haha!
Want to be on my Ultraman crew in Nov?
My comment on that last video wasn’t too far off 😉
You back on the big rock? Thought you moved. When's your stark coming? I tried to pay for mine today, CC flagged it for the amount & location, lol. Should be here next(Oahu) month.
@@Marleysdad808 nope, still here. VARG comes in Oct (projected) but I cant really ride it until Dec. Can't risk any injury... even dumping it over, because rock cuts keep me out of the ocean for weeks with the staph risk!
I have a 10k swim race this Sunday even. Still kind of recovering from broken ankles in May (and Nov).
@@JohnHowerton137 I can't wait, bet you're excited too. Good luck in your race! My daughter & I are racing the Kahuku Grand Prix trail race this Sunday too. First trail race for me since 2000/01. Daughters first race was this past IRC endurofest.
@@Marleysdad808 awesome! Good luck to the both of you and be safe! My first race back from the same era was nearly my end. Feel it out and remember... it's all just for FUN! 🤙
How can you not like Ryno? Hell yeah i had some Moonshine.
When the interweb was born...... I got a new form of entertainment from moto that I never could have imagined. 🤣
Understanding the true EGO. Ryan gets it.
Ryno is a great mentor..good job cooksey..
The technic got to its maximum with Jett Lawrence !!!
