The Deegans CALLS OUT the moto media! 🤯 The honest truth about having character in the sport!

- Haiden Deegan had one of the most incredible rookie seasons in memory, culminating in the inaugural SMX Playoff Champion just a few weeks again at the iconic LA Coliseum. We managed to organize a quick sit down with Haiden and Brian Deegan in the aftermath of the historic win in the original Mulisha Compound in Temecula's wine country.
Do you think Haiden Deegan gets a bad wrap from the moto media? 👇
I like how this came out before the season start and people are literally crying about it and don’t realize how old the video is and are doing exactly what they’re talking about
Moto must have close to the worst fan base in any sports based on hollow opinions that people have developed purely from jumping on a bandwagon and not actually thinking properly for themselves
I disagree, they’re complaining about why they’re not getting recognized because they’re qualifying themselves as characters, the characters are for people to like, or just like based on their own opinion of these guys opinion of themselves is too high
@@cambaw5it’s just the new influx of deegan TH-cam fan😂 the moto community doesn’t like someone faking a character to sell stuff or bring the tiktok, TH-cam mindset. We all grew up at the amatuers national seeing the deegan family act like pricks and now they’re trying to act like they’re nice.
I agree with the message. But, I have a hard time accepting the source. AP7 is my guy and I love his interviews and when head on the podium. The Deegans are a brand, the Kardashians of MX and and Supercross. Moto needs to be unique among the motorsports brands. Let the riders show their true selves. Variety is the spice of life.
That is exactly what brian said! Lmao
You people don’t get it. Lord forbid this kid get fired up over racing. Kim kardashian did not work hard to get where she is at she just had to suck one on video!
@@mattchew7219 Hayden has worked hard since he was a kid. He's always had an insane work ethic. The family has a hard time getting him off the bike for vacation. The kid is a charger,.
Yes but the real mission is to grow the sport. Who do you think brings more eyes to the sport, Deegan or Ples? I'm with you on Plessenger he's one of my favorites. But believe me when I say this sport is always in danger of going away! I live rite down the road from Washougal track and neighbors are always trying to get it shut down due to noise or traffic for one weekend a year. I'm sure other tracks have same problem, then you got the tree huggers who say it's too dangerous and pollutes the air! The fact is Deegans antics bring thousands of new eyes and support to the sport and make it that much harder to sweep under the rug!
@mattchew7219 yea he podiums cause of who his dad is hahahah nothing to do with immense skill amd years and hours of work.
Being a character and having character are two different things. Yes the sport needs personalities for the fans to relate to but respect should still be shown towards competitors and the opportunities you have. Also a little humbleness goes a long way.
you're so right, all the stuff he did, like showing his middle finger to the pile up in Detroit, or complaining with hammaker, that's just making his character look bad, obviously his personality is something a lot of people can relate to, that's why he has such a fan base, but all the shit he does is not helping his personality to look good
I think the sport needs more personalities like this to continue to grow. Like it or not he brings more eyes to the sport, hopefully more money to the sport. Just let him be the Connor McGregor for the AMA
Sadly most people of any age don't care about character which is why the most exalted people in society are dirtballs. Sponsors care about popularity from a couple of angles but most people only think about one of them. The obvious one is the sheer number of fans that a personality has and the more overlooked one is the number of people who can't stand that same personality. Most sponsors don't want a polarizing figure. Having a million hardcore supporters isn't worth as much if the same person also has 2 million hardcore detractors. The best case for sponsors is to find someone who's very popular but also doesn't spark much animosity among non-fans. Travis Pastrana is a good example since very few dislike him even if they aren't big fans.
I respect the talent in the family,but don’t agree with the way they market being a punk and jerk to sell themselves…
Does it make them rich? I guess but at the cost of making our sport into pro wrestling of this era… No a fan….
I believe (I might be wrong) that the majority of fans don’t care to see a kid put on a act on the podium for entertainment ,but watch the sport because they like dirt bikes and racing…
I get what you're saying and yes plenty of fans do see it that way but there were also a ton of people who were way down on Dungey for being bland and boring while winning titles. Conversely a ton of people love Plessinger because of his personality and style despite being just another top 10 guy (outside of a few great rides here and there).
What makes you so sure it's an act? I wish everyone would get off of their f****** high horses and that know how things are supposed to be and just let it happen
Agreed. I'd rather see racing (go faster than the other guy) than roller derby and tantrums as a rider's brand . I don't think Brian's encouraging Haiden to play the victim is helping things. When will Haiden be his own man?
@jaymckoskey25 I think you are wrong. Just my opinion. He is who he is. Walk a mile in a man's shoes before you throw darts at him. But of course us keyboard warriors know better than the professional athletes..
Deegs fan for life!
#38 #Deegs
He will win Foxboro! East west show down he has got kitchens # everytime hes when he's been behind him!!! SMX Carolina, Washougal, ect, he passed passed him. Deegans holds a mental edge over kitchen...
Why is Jack Doherty getting inteviewed for moto?
Let them cook! I love this! I stopped watching MotoGP because there are no characters, left. I love his personality and take on life!
Deegan literally made me go buy Pampers® Swaddlers™, thats true star character branding
I've been saying the same thing about podium interviews for a while now they are so boring unless its like AP7 or deegan. Jett's used to be cool but they've put him in the box and he doesn't talk about letting the big dog eat he just talked about his sponsors.
He doesn’t talk about letting the big dog eat anymore because he got crucified for anything he said or did this first half the season.
Jett isn’t allowed to be himself anymore thanks to the yanks, they only want flogs like the deegans over the top fakeness.
“They” didn’t put him in the box “we” did by attacking everything they say. Like you are now.
I spent a couple grand to meet the deegans and to watch Haiden race in Arlington. I didn’t do that to see how his tires were hooking up or what energy drink he was sipping on . The ghost ride was a bonus!!! Great interview Gypsy …👍
The ghost ride was stupid!
Hey if they want to come off like that and portray themselves that way, then go for it! I don't mind it at all. Just don't force it on the others whom don't care for it or put them down for it. Being humble is also something fans like to see. But either way it's entertaining to see some controversy thrown in.
The Deegans are definitely full of themselves and Hayden is spoiled but the kid has worked his ass off to get where he's at which is something 99.9% of spoiled kids will never do.
He’s ’spoiled’ because of the success he’s had as an amateur, he’s definitely worked hard too get where he is
Kids who work their ass off are not spoiled. I think you should take a look in the mirror and focus on what you see and stop worrying about other people.
@@petebusch9069 great insight Peter 👍
I'm curious, if u walked a mile in Deegans shoes would you say the same thing? Serious question
@petebusch9069 he may have a better situation than most but you are right, he has worked his ass off!!
Just had an adult moment.. Haiden looked like Brian from back in the day for a second and I tripped out bro
Both Deegans ‘personalities’ are completely manufactured and most people can see straight through it. Sure there will be plenty of people that love it but honestly it just comes over as forced and embarrassing to me (and clearly many others).
This all came out with the ‘beef’ with Pastrana… who was actually the only one being himself!
The kid can ride though, so most true fans should at least give him the respect he deserves for that but the OTT shtick is so transparent… that’s why the moto media don’t care for it.
Exactly. Well said.
and that's why Pastrana's loved by everyone, because he's so genuine
It shouldn't be up to the moto media to decide for the fans of the sport whether a rider is mundane, robotic and giving canned answers to every podium interview or if their personality is good, bad, too big, fabricated or genuine.
Really,..think about how absurd this notion sounds.
@@stricknine8623 It’s not “up to them”, they simply have opinions about riders’ actions just like you and I do.
The “moto media” is not one central thing either, plenty of the moto outlets are pro Deegan. This is just Brian being Brian; “We’re so edgy and raw, the mainstream can’t handle us man, they just want to keep us in a box but we won’t be caged 🤘🏻” etc.
🙄 Yeah alright mate.
@@Mockle07 I wrote,..."it shouldn't be up to the moto media"
This means I think that people that are in a position to be stewards of the sport should keep their mouths shut about whether they think that a person's candor or personality is sincere or not. It's another one of those opinion things that I'm exercising here.
That sort of middle-school drivel and guessing games should be left up to the fans.
If you don't understand that the media (and fans) are either complaining about a robotic, mundane personality with canned answers to interview questions or complaining about a rider not having enough decorum or professionalism,...then you are not being honest or you just don't pay attention. Its not a matter of opinion its an objective reality.
Damn, it’s been awhile since I’ve seen a comment section with so many haters!!! That’s exactly what supposed to happen when your doing things right!!👌🏽🤙🏽
I guess your not welcome unless your factory or have million subscribers… but the fact is us little guys are the ones that fund the sport.
WTF are you talking about?
@@FarmerFpvhe’s not wrong clown! Pro riders are 1% of the riders in the sport 🤡
@@FarmerFpv did you not watch the video?
The Kardashians of moto is hilarious
Jase cans Jett for standing his ground with Anderson, and been defending the Deegans since the bike claim incident, and throwing shade on the moto media , because you don’t have as many subs as them, not entitled at all.
Hayden was out of line at Birmingham. It’s better for all of us if he confesses it and move on. These guys act and talk like nothing happened.
And he said he was. Atleast he admitted it. Friese doesn’t 😂
@@chadnelson1777Because it's all business to Frieze, he doesn't think he did anything wrong if it serves gaining positions, he's just old school scrapping at the margins and doing pretty well for what he has. So at least he's not a hypocrite so nothing to apologize for. Some people don't bow to the Moto Woke Mob 😅
This video is 4 months old.
Really though? So what, you mean the 18 year old lost his cool for a moment? And what your feelings are still hurt? The real problem is fans involvement with every move he makes! This sport ain't for thin sk8nned liberals, this is a adrenaline, and testosterone filled danger sport! And unfortunately we've been overran by Mountain bike wimps who cry about toxic masculinity! Maybe watch women's soccer if you want manners?
Brian having another cry to anyone listening
Who’s crying 🤔 sounds to me you! are!
Look up the word ironic and see how it applies to your comment. If you need help figuring it out don’t hesitate to ask for help.
You Sound like Another jealous kid that can’t afford a bike
You make so many comments on everything Deegan… get off their nuts lmao
Diaper boy nut riders have arrived!
Brian is a genius when it comes to marketing a character
I wish and I hope they listen to him someday because the sport could be huge with a little bit of dangerboy marketing
Its simple either you want to win championships or you want to be a you tuber ? I was never a big fan of Deegan and am definitely well over him now its absolutely cringe how fake these 2 are.
We are you so clueless?
Did we not watch the same thing?
@nickwancho your clearly not that much of a moto fan if you just saw this and my comment from 4 months ago. And yes I stand by my comment .
@kelgusthart1789 lol yea I'm not. A fan because i came across your dumbass comment. I must be on top of these posts to be a fan of riding a racing. He's done more for the sport in the last 5 years than any other rider. You don't have to like him but wtf does it matter if he makes yt videos so do a bunch of other guys. He is a brand just like James Stewart was a brand or Ricky when they sold shot at toy stores. I'm just getting a lot of teenager vibes from your comments.
@@kelgusthart1789 I'm lost at where the disconnect is at how they are fake. He's saying the industry is fake and let the guts be themselves. You make no sense
Saying a “media guy” with 12k subscribers isn’t good for promoting the sport ? I remember where Gypsy Tales started at one point he was that guy with 12k.
Kid really doesn’t understand how a media content outlet is built, just like everything in life it starts from zero.
I guess deegan was able to hold the flashlight steady for his father. Most kids don’t
This is great 😂😂😂
Fleshlight?
Better watch it..those sponsors pay that lifestyle you love
💯 most kids in the industry had parents working multiple jobs and sacrificing everything so the kid can have a competive race bike on a Sunday so when they get some outside help they’re great fun and thankful. This clown forgot where he started and Gyspsy’s just a yes man.
Punching down at small upcoming TH-camrs is lame. Been on the fence about Deegs, but every time he opens his mouth he just comes off like such an ass
Maybe you just need to grow some balls 🤷🏻♂️. When people cry about deegs being who he is, is why I like the kid. He’s bringing back the 90’s type of attitude and I love it. I grew up around it. Your use to these kids being cool calm and boring 😂
Totally agree
Major HYPOCRISY
He's still a kid man and there has always been big ego's in the sport since I can remember. He will grow older and mature just like most everyone else does.
It's not about the Small TH-camrs trying to build there channels, it's more about the Ama/Feld letting the small channels in that don't know what they're doing and are only subtracting from the quality of Moto Media... it'd be like me letting you into the machine shop with no clue what you're doing.
These small channels he's referring to should build their base in the local and regional ranks before being allowed in the big leagues. They're letting anyone in regardless of their competence.
To be fair, some media that's been around for along time should be cut as well (matthes)
Rumours are that deegan doesnt like the yamaha now😂
Jett has culture, Deegan has counter culture, that’s the perfect equal opposite, Keep on doin what yer doin
Haiden has been devalued
What never being smacked as a kid looks like.
What jealous people on the internet type.
100% agree with everything on here!
both wearing monster energy hats tho haha
Brian has been with monster for 25 years
Good old Diaper Boy Deegan!
I am really surprised by the level of arrogance from these two and how they belittle all others trying to make a living on the same business or doing the same things they are.
I think the problem is he DOESNT have character, he is a spoiled brat.
100%, just like his dad
He may be spoiled but the kid can sure ride the heck out of a dirt bike. Gotta realize he doesn’t need the sport where the sport needs his polarization
Yup!!! Can't stand the kid. Never will be a fan.
@trevorcarver5068 he does need the sport its in his DNA. He just need be more mindful of what hes doing, stop making himself look like an idiot. You can have passion without being a dick if he sorts that out he might become the face of the sport one day but jett holds that touch at the minute
@@Sloth6930I think the sport would be 10x better if it was modeled like the ufc. Why do you have to put every rider into a box and have them all act the same. I’m not disagreeing that hes not an idiot sometimes but I’d rather him act stupid or act like a dick then just act like boxed in kid that acts how they want him to. No matter what the kid has brought so many eyes and company’s to the sport and him being himself has worked so you can’t blame him for continuing to do so
The media is making people think the wrong stuff. I’m on your side 100%. Haiden was penalized when he was not the only rider to go off track. I think they just have to pick something to screw with you over and they picked him going off the track when it was unavoidable. And there was a couple riders that were behind him before he went off track, and when he came back on, he was behind them, so we never gained anything, so he should not have been penalized.💯🤙🙏✌️🇺🇸I believe Haiden is the Future for our sport. Sometimes the media can destroy peoples lives sometimes. Good luck bro and I really hope you can get closer to the points lead.🇺🇸✌️🤙🙏💯💣👊
We’re the deegs man, you better respect!!!!
These two sound like Beavis and Butthead FFS 😂
If thats what you think then God help you. Resentment is your own worst enemy.
@@petebusch9069get of Deegznuts already nut rider
They're both delusional
I see alot of jealously and one sided people. Its crazy how fast people turn against Deegan. Hero to a zero fan base I could live without. Been there done it. I think alot true colors are finally coming out from a few fans and I'm glad to see with Deegan being young. I hope he wins another and another. He will be a champion if he continues the hunger,huge heart etc.Go Deegan.
It's funny when they originally did this interview months ago. A lot of positive now nothing but negative
This is refreshing….I can’t stand the robots that are in sx/Mx today, it’s freaking lame….J-law/cr-22 and riders like that are a lot of fun to watch and hear from. Riders that are the robots and just flat boring! Get a bit animated and have some fun and watch the crowd roar.
This is what I’ve been saying the past few years. They want to have good viewership but they won’t let the competitors tell the story. Some of us like dirt bikes and racing but if you want to grow the sport you need to get people watching who will never ride a dirt bike but they love the story. It isnt rocket science.
I feel like deegans are trying to be slightly bigger than the sport itself and fans don't like that
He said it exactly his son is a character for social media, just like his daughter, no other dad does this only tony alessi was like that . Brian is going to be the downfall to his son’s career
so fkn true, I am so tired of the Cooper Webb type podium interveiws thanking the sponsors and the mechanic . I can literally word for word speak Cooper Webbs podium intervewi righ now. It's fkn boring
The Deegan's Right! It's why the late 80's and all the 90's earlt 2000's were the best of Supercross! The Media didn't have a Chokehold on the Rider's!
Their conceit is so obvious. lol
You are so wasting time interviewing these punks ! Sponsorship deals pay for your ride so it’s your duty to show them some thankfulness back full stop. Haiden and Brian need a reality check. Star racing and their sponsors pay them 🤷
We get it man, u love the Deegans lol
These two are absolute muppets. You cannot tell me that they don't give off some weird vibe.
Brian Deegan was at least 3 or 4 of the Muppet’s voices.
It does make the sport more interesting. Lots of people relish the thought of watching a certain character getting crashed out
If the Deegan's don't watch out, they will be the Collin Kaepernick of Motocross. Me personally if I'm Yamaha and the other sponsors singing checks over to them, I'm currently pissed off and demanding a little respect to the sport. You can't ride motocross without your sponsors.
Not a good look for the Deegans, saying media guys with smaller followings will not build the sport 😂😂man I love this sport. Gonna be a good 5-10 years 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
Comment section mad that there is finally flavor back in the sport..
Lmao at everyone thinking it has to be scripted wwe type drama..... nah I just want to hear what people have to say in the heat of the moment, pumped up full of adrenaline without having a leash around their neck. And for us mere fans to be able to catch a glimpes or the mindgames and smacktalk that goes on at all top level sports.
More character = better racing. We all watch moto for our rider not for the corporations or the sponsors, let the riders show their true side the deegans have brought an entire group of people that didnt even care about moto, look how many people started watching moto because of haiden.
Go the Aussies!!!
How come the Moto media keep stopping my great marketing ideas for my son? What a buzz kill...
The kid is like his dad , all about media and don’t want to follow the rules, ama is not a circus like Brian’s freestyle days , that’s why he never was good enough for ama sx or Mx
Exactly!!!
Its called being original. The fact you have a problem with that indicates you hold a TON of resentment overall. Take a look in the mirror and start fixing your problem.
He won a supercross and has many top 5 finishes
Full psychiatrist mode. Can you help me with my issues? Or do i have to pay for the first hour?@@petebusch9069
@petebusch9069 But he's not original, he's literally trying to be a carbon copy of his dad...
Get it off peacock would help grow the sport
That whole family is as fake as they come.😂
So true!!! It’s embarrassing to hear them trot out the same bs every time!!! I wanna thank hod for keeping safe over the tripples 😂😂 I wanna hear what they thought of the race or someone that cross jumped !
Yep. Teach the suits bro,...well said.
You guys in moto know the saying. That dudes factory.
We need to see the personalities of the riders if they're wild dudes
Guys like Plessinger, Jett, BamBam, Deegan
Also respect the strong silent types too, guys like Casey Stoner or Dani Pedrosa, Webb or Tomac
This new generation is so boring. And I’m not talking deegan. I’m talking the fans. You guys don’t know a good era like I did. I watched McGrath etc. they all were polarizing. Now riders show up, train together and there is no secret training anymore. I love the bumping and attitude. It got boring when some riders retired. Now it’s getting better and attitude is back
As a Friese hater, Deegan did the same thing Friese did in A1 qualifying. Friese's problem is he does it every week. If Deegan continues to wreck people he'll wind up with the same reputation, especially if he doesn't win on the regular.
Imsure he will win and wasn't it hammaker that wrecked Deegan TWICE at the start of races?? We must be watching different races
Deegan has always been like this . He’s going to take advantage of every single little mistake you make and he will race you aggressively if theirs an opening. Casey Cochran got ejected off his bike at mini o’s in 2020 when haiden made contact with him when Casey left just one small spot open in the inside of the turn. Deegan took it and shoved right past him .
Deegan wreck people? When? the bike that is leading has the right of way. They have brakes for a reason.
He’s hit getting hit from behind so Hammaker is a menace out there he almost took out Sacadoo in Indi
People for the most part. Are like sheep!!! They go with the flow!!! I follow who I like in different sports!!! Do they at times say or do something that it's liked by the mainstream. Of course!!!! But that is one of the reasons why I like them!! They keep it real!!! So don't sale your soul for anything!! For people or money nor sponsor's!!!
Deegan isn’t wrong we want excitement in the sport, and when we get it, the media and sponsors want to shut it down! Hey isn’t that why he conjured up the image of the Metal Militia? Just saying!
Imagen the Gucci brand deal for moto gear lol 😂🎉
When there is no news bring up/mention an old interview of the Deegans for views..... did you guys know that Deegan is 4th in points and Vialle is leading the points? No... no you didn't because all anyone in the "moto media" talks about is the guy in 4th place....4th-f'ing-place... The way the "moto media" talks about Deegan you'd think he is a multi-championship winner and leading the points. Zero championships and 4th in points....
I totally agree.....now burn the Gucci shirt 😬💙
Character and the Deegan name aren't in the same universe
The character comments didnt age well as we have just seen Haiden flip off someone in the middle of a race recently who did nothing wrong and then he also lost his emotions enough to rail at a guy, push his bike down, and then go to that guys' pits afterwards. I know emotions run high in the moment, but there are so many eyes on Haiden that i do hope he calms down and thinks about all the kids that are watching.
Couldn’t have been said better General
He does get heat, I feel the AMA is trying to become like Nascar.
That is the point I was going to make. I hate these cookie cutter interviews. save us time at that point and just say KTM Red Bull Fox and walk away...
Kind of think you've already posted this video once before
They did this interview last year when des nations was on, deegan wasnt "allowed to go race" 😂
The dad kinda ruins it for everyone. Now Deegan acting like him
When you realize cringe is what they’re selling, the Deegans are legit
I do agree w 20 out of the 22 guys will get on the podium and turn into an AD for their sponsors.. no personality
Sports evolve and times change. Many sponsors are no longer willing to support an athlete that exhibits consistently reckless and brash behavior... it's just unprofessional. I am not talking about Haiden specifically. I'm talking about motocross and supercross, and to a lesser degree the entire motorsports industry. Jason Lawrence, Vince Friese, Justin Barcia and the entire Alessi family are great examples of behavior that is no longer tolerated, and this is for the best. (Remember Tony Stewart's NASCAR sponsorship by Home Depot? They threatened to pull their support if he did not change his super aggressive behavior -- he was not representing their values or doing their image any good.) Sometimes I think the FIA goes too far, but there will always be disagreement about proper interpretation and application of the rules... at least the FIA is doing their best to respond to legitimate incidents instead of doing nothing as in the past. Having said all that, I strongly support riders who represent our sport really well: Ryan Dungey, Eli Tomac and Ken Roczen to name a few.
Difference between having a personality or character , and carrying on like a flog
9:49 - 10:05 Perfectly describes why everyone CANNOT STAND the Deegans.
Click bait trying to relate an old interview to a new situation.. good job
The media likes controversy. That's how it is.
Man, all of this show and all they really had to do was say "dude, I was heated and I fucked up. I bought Seth a beer and we're good. See you next week but tell Ando I'm going to wrestle him the next time I see him"🍻 The problem is they don't come across as actual "cool guys". It all comes across as an act.
This show was shot in october of 2023
@@GYPSYTALES My bad. I thought it was new. I do agree with you in that I like personalities in the sport. Barcia, Ando, Kenny... the best! However when it comes to the Deegans, I think the point was made even clearer AFTER this interview that there is a fine line between being a "character" and being a dick. I guess that is what pushing boundaries looks like...
I think Yamaha is the best team for a good bit and best bikes specially for gate drops and how fast it gets going I myself have always rode a Yamaha learned on TT-R125 or 110 and then it was a Honda CRF230 and was to much weight and didn’t have the power in low end and had 6 gears and wouldnt pop wheelie hardly then after about 2 months on that got yz250F in like 2002 and was best bike i ever had I loved it ride wheelies for long as wanted and and had the torque and bought a 2020 WR250R and I am selling it bc I can’t stand it didn’t realize be EFI motor I want a race bike and convert street legal either yz450F or YZ450FX or one of the 250s bc Efi SUCKS even with all the mods and Yoshimura RS-4
By character is he referring to the bike claim incident where they pulled the buddy system so they weren’t caught with a cheater bike, the flying the bird after the first turn incident or getting handed a win then saying welcome to the danger zone like a complete tool. Which one of these characters are they speaking of. They have no respect for anyone but want people to respect them, not how it works in this sport. I know the sippy cup cult kids are going to be saying haiden is an innovator in the sport, no no he’s not children at this point he’s a shit stain in the sport, James Stewart even said Deegan acts like he all this credit from the sport but has done nothing to deserve it. The kid needs to quit acting like he some badass before he walks to someone’s hauler and they send him limping back
This is what Brian is great at marketing. If travis did not play along there is no Deegan brand. If Brian didn't play his roll there was no travis. Yes they are great athletes and regardless to the "good cop bad cop" they would have made money but when you thing back to 90s early 2000 freestyle you remember the all American kid and the rebel. I think harden is trying to find that one racer that will play the good cop bad cop and take both of them to the next level.
The backwards logic of describing why you are a sellout, while acting like you aren't the sell out... a freaking gucci sponsor? Thanks for admitting that the persona is an act, and isn't really you... it's just to make money.
It was sarcasm.
It's a joke man Gucci don't sponsor him but I'm sure he would love it if they did
I feel ya and get what you're saying. the home school kids don't lol
Right I feel like this is totally HYPOCRITICAL
Deegan didn't suggest anything about putting on a fake persona to sell your brand or your sponsors product.
He is saying that when you have someone with a non-robotic personality, DO NOT try to kill that by telling them to stop or reigning it in.
Especially when you constantly hear people complain about mundane, robotic and canned podium interviews from riders.
Thats what he is saying and its a shame that you don't get it.
The fake patriot 😅
This is a subject matter that we should expect Brian and his boy to be highly convicted about. Their brand has been their livelihood and being different, for better or worse, is how they've built their family business. So in this moment, we are getting the defiant Deegan middle finger to the industry. Eh, Deegans be Deeganing.
Yeah well deegans character isn’t cool right now
When Hayden does not need his daddy to hold his hand for interview let me know.. Living his Supercross dreams on his sons talent. Brian you had your day in the spotlight. Let the boy become a man.. I like how nascar teams separate drivers from helicopter parents now.
I would like to see moto revitalized with a little more wide open lay it out.
Podium interviews arent supposed to to help the sport. It's a podium interview... it has 1 objective. This isn't WWE wrestling
Wow nice way to bash on the little media guys that are trying to build their brand but it’s ok for deegans to start out small at some point but now since they are big let them continue to grow but screw the newbies.
If Yamaha made a DS 450, I would buy it
