Impulsive start with my emotions. The indirect negativity needs to stop so I shared my side nuff said
Respect Johnny!!
I hope you keep doing your thing. I really enjoy your annalis videos. 👍
* Analysis.
Screw cooksey. I watch cuz I watch moto everything. Now, I’m not gonna watch you Johnny. Ur a puppet for
Davy combs. He lied on Gypsy tales and there is proof. See ya…bruh bruh bruhhhhhhhhhhhhh
@@jacereif2783thank you Jace
I unsubscribe from him a very long time ago. When he was talking a ton of smack about Ryan Hughes and then turning around and saying someone really needs to help him.. I'm not here to defend Ryan Hughes, but come on bro! Straight up talk and the only reason you're reporting it is because it's juicy and then to act like you're concerned about his well-being... total douchebag move
Johnny keep it up buddy
yep. same here. the Ryan shaming and the defending of Vince Friese' harmful racing habits - sent me packing. Cooksey makes some good calls, but those are examples of him being completely off the wall.
but then what did we expect when someone's channel theme says "you need people like me so you can point your fingers and say, that's the bad guy."
I left because to the RC trash talking and the other crap yall said. Cooksey just isn’t my kinda guy.
Yeah it started with him hating on Deegan because he didn’t like Brian. He deleted it, brought Ryno on to explain himself and then Ryan goes on Gypsy Tales and didn’t name drop Cooksey but referred to the situation and Cooksey basically redug up everything and he just makes it personal everytime. If you read the 4 agreements you’ll know what that really means.
Yep! I thought the same thing too..
Cooksey got his panties in a twist when someone doesn't agree with him? Color me shocked
I love when people disagree, that's how I learn.
Bro, I don't agree with you on everything but your point of vue is refreshing versus all the pc crap out there. @@CookseyMedia
Love the subtle Inside out movie reflected to your left ;-).
Cooksey should be asking himself if the 'accidental' unsub's are accidental.
Love your content Johnny!
I know my unsub was legit.
Be true to yourself & treat others as you would want to be treated. We see plenty of stupidity & meanness in our world at this moment let's change what we can.
I wouldn't even consider Cooksey an actual journalist. Miss me with the op-ed pieces he used to write occasionally for Vital a few years ago, if he was a real journalist he wouldn't be plugging he's a real estate agent at the end of every video. He does admit when he gets things wrong after the fact, so thumbs up for that I guess, but dude jumps the gun on everything and has some of the worst takes--which makes him look so misinformed way more than he should be for a "journalist"--in an effort to drive clicks. I don't even believe _he_ actually believes some of the nonsense he says for that exact reason. He does admit he click baits and stuff, so I'll give him that FWIW. He's also massively butthurt about MX Sports/Feld revoking his media pass and banning him from press conferences despite _everything_ he says about that.
Well said. Just as I told Cooksey it was nothing more than a business deal in any other form of business that couldn’t come to an agreement and they walked away. I would have done the same thing. Unfortunately he turns things into personal vendettas or drama with half information most of the time.
There comes a point where there is a monopoly, and you have so much money and so much power that you cannot fail that becomes a monopoly
I can’t believe you said Cocksey is a good journalist lol, you’re way too nice. The guy is an absolute flog
I enjoy 75% of cooksey's content, the other 25% is just absolute trash. Keep up the great content Hopper
That’s why I am still here and no longer there. 🤷🏼♂️
you are doing a good job ,keep up the good work!!!!
I agree with all your takes, but at the same time it probably wasn't necessary to adress, either way im a fan. Great job witb your content.
Impulsive on my emotions
Cooksey said in that same video that the national tracks asked Davey to try to buy the right’s on the behalf of the tracks. But instead, he bought the rights for himself. Not sure if that is true, but that made my jaw drop. Because that means mxsports owns something it never should have owned in the first place. I enjoy the sport as it is today. The only thing I’d want to change is to make sure all riders are getting paid for putting their body on the line every week. Plus insurance for permanent disabilities like paralysis that occurs at a supercross or nationals.
The only issue I have is the hypocrisy of MXSports saying its unreasonable for their employees/event staff, riders/teams, or media having to pay to attend the event (when in contract negotiations with Facilities). But then MXSports makes teams/riders pay MXSports (not the Facility) to race the event. Seems like only MXSports (and Davey Coombs) is allowed to double dip in the cookie jar.
Cooksey posted a video were he said Deegan was 6 second slower than Anstie in practice at Southwick. But that was Brian Deegan with Haiden's gear 😂
Hahahaha 😂
Lmao I saw that too, that dude is actually a moron. If you want accurate moto news DON’T listen to cooksey.
Lol, brilliant!!
Stirring the excrement pot is what he does best. He has zero credibility however.
brian has a different font on his jersey, but is wearing haidens helmet and the gear is from two years ago
Bravo Johnny, disassociating yourself from Cooksey was a wise move. He stirs up chaos for chaos sake and while he occasionally uncovers important news, he is generally a cancer on the sport and anyone surrounding him.
You are 100% right about perspective on the business relationship choices between both GH and MXS. However, Davey seemingly is misleading or outright lying to the moto community with his alternative facts of events. He could simply own the actual facts and say it was a business decision, but instead he is being shady and trying to deflect the blame onto GH. Unless Davey comes clean he will not be trusted and he deserves to have his character questioned. The lack of rider compensation in this sport is wildly unfair and when entities in control of the sport (Feld & MXS) are exploiting it versus nurturing it, it's legitimate reason for the fans and riders to take aim.
Thanks for being true to yourself and for sharing your genuine feelings on the relationship with Cooksey.
Davey has perpetually employed and supported pdf files, legit scum bag and hopper is hitching his wagon to that. Poor decision just to advance your place in the industry
Good for you JH!
Stand on your principals!
💯👊
Same principals that led him to defend a pdf file at lorettas... wouldn't hitch your wagon to those "principals"
Agree with you. It’s business. If you can’t come to an agreement, no national. Simple.
Business in business- it's simple.
It is not about the business of it. It is more about Davey lying and in the process of his lying making others think someone else is the unreasonable party.
I'm glad you're setting the record straight, just don't feed into the negativity. Keep up the great content!!!
I love all things Moto. I had to un-subscribe from Cooksey because of the negativity. I don't want that in my life. There is enough in my every day life. Moto is my escape. I really respect your input on the sport I have loved for 60+ years.
Keep being you Johnny, love to hear your opinion.
Woah! Had no idea this drama was going on but certainly hope you keep up the videos. I prefer your insider take on things!
Me too.
I’m a fan of Cooksey and I’m a fan of yours. The more perspective and opinions you can hear, the better. Right wrong or indifferent.
Agreed, I do miss being able to chat with Hopper and get his unique perspective. He is smart.
Ralph Huffman told me he made more money on Wednesday practice Than he did putting on a natl
I hosted a gncc and made 9k….paid a few months late……the Same race I run at the top of our local club level….i make 35k…..
And I paid more to my pro winners than a GNCC
yea ive heard the same thing ,washougal has to pay big money for hosting the event ,does all the track prep,venders row,,seating ,food parking ,pay for all the work etc,then fight it out for small portion of the ticket sales and other trinkets ,barely break even
@@andyyarrington6401 and to think of how many years they have been doing this……
Are you willing/able to do a breakdown of costs and revenue and attendance numbers?
Cooksie = MX TMZ.... Every video he bitches about DC.... Get over it, you dont like him and have a monster hard on for Davey WHO CARES..... If GH dont want to pony up for a National good on them and the series will go elsewhere.... GH will continue on and so will MXS.... Although it does seem like GH is having less and less races lately.... Johnny you put out great videos and great breakdowns.... Keep up the good work....
Poor coach. Stuck between Mom & Dad fighting
Hopper is definitely the Mom in that scenario
@@chupacabraracing181hahahaha a weak one too
glad im not the only one who dislikes cooksey
Moto is a fun activity and sometimes persons forget that. Thanks Hopper 💯🚲
I never liked how he was verbally abusive to you on your show. You gotta be able to take some licks now and again and not be too emotional, but, you don't have to take it that from friends on a regular basis. It's not the kind of friendly conflict that's healthy.
Cooksey says some things that should not be said on his channel. I turned a video off right in the middle, because he started talking smack about a rider. Opinions are welcome, but if you dont like it change the channel, so I did. Johnny just keep being yourself! Your content has been great!
Cooksey is not on the intelligent side…
Cooksey is the worst, he’s nothing but an over opinionated 🤡
Yeah I “unsubscribed” from cooksey
Yep, his comments about Hymas did it for me.
@@antiwoke884 😮 Wait, what? Johnny Woke? WTH???
Say it ain’t so.
STOPPED WATCHIN COOKSEY MONTHS AGO BECAUSE HE WAS TOO NEGATIVE., TOO WHINEY.
I don't read the National Enquire and I don't watch the Cooksey channel.
The info is still up on the Glen Helen website under "about" tab
awe thank
you
Bro, i had to stop watching Cooksey because he seemed to just bitch about RC constantly. I love your channel. I also can't stand Gypsy tales.
I met a Gypsy
I meth a gypthy
What's wrong with gypsy tales?

its close to 100 know but this is from 2013-2018 era
@@Johnny_Hopper so did all the other dollar amounts increase as well?
@@befmx31 correct all the way to rider entry
3500 tickets valued at $280k,. I can see why that is a deal breaker.
They came back to the table with a lowered 2500. GH wanted it lowered again to 1000 so they walked. I would have done the exact same thing.
@@kurtheidelbach everyone wants the freebees, thats absurd
@@spacemanspiff8837 And 2500 that was offered is way more than fair. If they don’t want it that’s their choice. Just like anything else in business.
@@kurtheidelbachfair in who’s eyes? Your objective eyes with no money on the line? 😂
@@KS-iy5xr Fair in comparison to what the original contract was. It's just like any other business decision it's perfectly fine to walk away.
Gave up on cooksey a long time ago , to many bad vibes .johnny and gypsy get my time and subscriptions
I have become a much bigger fan of your content since you cut ties with cooksey. The dude is an absolute clown.
I had to block Cooksy from my feed a long time ago.. can’t stand the little girl gossip… was annoyed you collabed with him tbh
A MEN, LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO BE NEGATIVE……and please don’t compare yourself to that FOOL Cooksey,,,,,,,Johnny your far better than him…..
The problem is Cooksey lets his own personal issues with people influence his reporting on news regarding them. Because of that it makes it hard to see much validity in what he says.
He hates Davey, so therefore anything he says is bullshit and not true.
He hates Ryno, so it feels like anytime Forkner is mentioned, Cooksey has to throw in how much of a piece of shit he thinks Ryno is.
It seems like Cooksey doesn’t get along with and/or has shitty things to say about 99% of people in the moto world. At what point do you begin to look in the mirror?
And the biggest issue is, it seems he has the mentality that “if you’re not with me you’re against me” and thinks anyone who doesn’t choose to have the hatred and vitriol he does for people (I.e. Johnny not hating Davey) then you’re also bad and a problem. Just an insane reality that guy lives.
Let’s talk flaggers, you know lack of, or untrained professionals. Remember last year when Anderson had to pick up the flag and wave riders off on the blind jump, or the incident this year on press day at Pala where Marchbanks got bent like a pretzel that could easily have been paralyzing . Flaggers are any joe blow who wants free ticket a free meal and $20 bucks for days work. Does NASCAR and IndyCar just let anyone off the street be a safety worker for a day? MX sports is going to have a Dale Earnhart moment where 20 plus years of ignoring safety will change the sport and hopefully break the Coombs bank with lawsuits.
I wanted to see if JH can find footage of the flagger at highpoint. In the 450LCQ, a rider went down in the rollers after the tunnel jump (right in front of me). He was stuck under the bike, with the rear wheel spinning under throttle. The flagger went onto the track, and attempted to grab the rear wheel to lift the bike off of the rider. Shortly after that didn't work, another rider rode into them and wrecked on top of the bike already down. It was a complete shit show!
I agree, this needs addressed, and we need qualified personnel flagging.
Johnny, I'm not a subscriber but I'll listen to you anyway over Cooksey! Everyone I listen to Cooksie I get sick...Keep doing what you're doing and be you...don't settle.
Cooksey sucks. He’s rude, the tabloid journalist of Moto. I had to unsubscribe a while ago and had TH-cam not recommended anymore. I tried having a convo with him and he started calling me names. Not the best way to keep subscribers.
Cooksy says TH-cam keeps unsubscribing people. I think people are unsubscribing themselves. LMAO
The numbers don't lie, how many people who have unsubscribed from his channel just in these comments alone should be enough proof that he's cutting his own throat and that separating yourself and your channel from his is the best course of action you are taking Johnny! I never watched your episodes that he was involved in, as it just gave him more airtime to try spread his hate on whoever he personally hated at the time. I watched one of his episodes and I never subscribed to unsubscribe lol. Just keep doing everything you do, it's good quality and your channel will continue to grow WFO! you have said all you needed to say, so leave it as it is and go right back to what you are doing and for the reason we all watch your channel for in the first place. You da WFO man johnny!! ✊
Bummer to hear the negativity. As we grow sometimes we need to weed the garden. Who gives an F about GH. It would be cool if they went there but they're not 🤷. I hope the best for you Johnny, block out that other noise but I feel ya when personal stuff goes sideways. Weed the garden, you're growing, grow Johnny grow!!
Cooksey is a cancer on the sport...so glad you dumped him..keep up the good work
You do a great job and you are better off without Cooksey. He has isolated himself and wants others to join . His bitterness shows through . I was done when he called Brian Deegan an idiot. Like him or not he is successful and respected in the industry unlike Cooksey. He can enjoy his private island.
COOKSEY WHO??!! COOKSEY MEDIA IS AN ADVERTISEMENT CHANNEL!!!! 29MIN OF ADS AND 1 MIN OF MOTO NEWS!!!!!!!!!
Theres a reason its called a mob over there. I appreciate your content Johnny! Thank you for your hard work. Keeping it WFO!! Stay positive!!
I unsubscribe cooksy months ago because of his negativity and he just was repeating himself to get his opinion across.
It sounds like both their negotiation & communication skills suck or they don't like others making a dollar while they're trying to make a dollar too 😅 either way there's more to it than what they wanna tell us lolz
I really don’t know who Cooksey is, but his content and delivery isn’t what I want to listen too. Keep it up!
Aye man, takes a lot to admit that stuff and grow from it. Cookseys a downer. Keep doin your thang dog 🤙🏽
Just keep it pinned bro and it will settle out.
Right on. Negative attitudes aren’t effective. 🍪 chocolate chip is the best. Debate over
Honestly I stopped watching cooksie because not feeling his vibe.
You the man Hopper. Cooksey really is always negative and all he does anymore is try to start shit "cuz hes the only one man enough to do it". I used to watch his channel but I unsubscribed cuz its all drama nowadays
Man enough?? No he's not a man he's a joke
Haha, I am the only Moto media person who has the balls to point out EKS sued LACR… Everyone knew the story.
@@CookseyMedia No, you are the only one dumb enough to talk about stuff without having accurate information and details first. There is a distinct difference. I wouldn’t say you are moto media by any official capacity either and many driving reasons for that. There is a distinct difference. There are also media people in our sport that look themselves in the mirror everyday and make decisions if stories sand topics makes something better for our sport and or worse. Does it bring positives to the sport of negatives. Factually you can review your content and see the highest percentage is by far negative and with no sound objectives.
@@CookseyMedia bro the fact you’re reading comments, and replying to them, sais it all.. put the phone down and take a minute to reflect on what 90% of these people are saying about you
You're a G! Cooksey is negative. I stopped watching him because of his shit talking about the 90's, how everyone was on coke and his Loretta Lynn chester stories and his angle on things.I just moved on, i don't want to hear gossip...
Chris is always right sorry Johnny was with him but he is a liberal that doesnot want to hurt feelings. Patheic.
Are you crying FOR COOMBS??
I don't get it....
As Walty says, no raindows and sunshine just give it to us straight and that's what you want to give us. If being honest is negative then I'll take negative every time.
Yeah, Walty and Cooksey. Always a battle of who is the worst and with the least amount of accurate information
Good take… you don’t like the way things are going make your own.
If you want to grow up, maybe stop using profanity Innuendos!!
Cooksey is a joke, I don't watch anything with him in it.
Johnny Hopper, I appreciate everything you said with wisdom, being used! Your a good man and I’m a life long follower!
Cooksey seems to me like one of those douche bag antagonists.
Love you hooper no need to talk about this shit!. Love the cartoons in the background off the picture frame!😂 fathers never stop fathering lol
Good video Bud.
Not a big fan of Cooksy, he focuses on click bait and negitivity to get views then wonders why his subscribers unsubscribe and why he will never get a press pass. He does get some good scoops but I find your videos 10x better and watch nearly every video. MX Sports should give you a press pass they need more people with riding knowledge and your enthusiasim.
MX Sports definitely should, Johnny has an eye for detail like nobody in the sport.
Cooksey always so damn negative..
I ditched Cooksey too, a while back. He's a whip
1st off, thank you for making an effort to have mentally positive strategy for this channel 👏 While I do also watch Cooksey, he has a very negative outlook/attitude for his channel and sometimes I'm not in the mood for that. Now given how he goes out of his way to be negative about certain announcers, organizations, tracks, or whatever, it makes it hard for me to believe his side of a story when you here someone like Davey C whom seems reasonable and takes a somewhat neutral approach to problems. Ultimately all parties have businesses where their business must come first. That's life and reality. I've also heard the owner of Glenn H speak and I feel he was a little snarky and seems to be a spin doctor himself, which again makes me question his truth.
Anyways keep up the good work here and don't let the drama get to you (for long). Some people live in negativity, enjoy it, and it doesn't bother them mentally while others take it to heart.
absolutely HATE Cooksie
Yes, Cooksey was stupid for blasting someone when it's purely a business decision. It shows how biased he is.
However i'm not giving MX sports a free pass on this...yet.
For context, can anyone tell me- is MX sports a non profit organization? How did they win the rights to run AMA MX races?
If they paid ,or continue to pay the AMA,where do the AMA spend that money spent?
I didn't blast the business decision, I blasted the lie DC tried to spin to cover up the fact that it was a ticket discrepancy.
Great! I'm not a Cooksie fan 🙃
He’s a clout chasing drama queen, people that create their own drama deserve their own karma
Interesting view. Good luck to you sir.
I set Cooksy’s video’s to “do not recommend” years ago. Waste of my time and energy.
Me too!
Good info. I appreciate your and Cooksey's opinions.
Nobody should lose sleep over Cooksey. He chose the clickbait drama drumming style and he will continue to talk himself further into irrelevance by blaming others for his falling numbers and not taking note. I appreciated Johnny's willingness to collaborate with him and there was some good stuff, but I am glad they parted ways. He was dragging down what Johnny is building for himself and us as fans.
Yeah I never watched the stuff with Cooksey in it because I didn't want to listen to that guy
Nobody should lose sleep over me, I agree
I blocked cookseys channel because he was just constantly reaching for any sort of drama, and his hatred for my childhood hero (RC) for no freaking reason, just stirring the pot and getting thousands to hate people for what? Having a stutter and miss saying someone’s name on live TV? Dude was an athlete not news reporter. And other than that cooksey would find any chance to bare fall witness to any situation if it meant drama. Just couldn’t listen to it. Clickbait at its finest.
I went after RC because he got Danel Blair pushed out of the booth.
@@CookseyMedia but you still gotta stir the pot any chance you get, I would watch your content cause I love anything moto, but yours seems to be always talking people down or just plan gossip.
Ephesians 4:29
29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
Cooksey: "Hey, everyone on my channel is getting unsubscribed for some reason..." I wonder why?
Yep him saying that every video has gotten wayyy past old
Hilarious.. everytime I'm like... he still don't get it lol
This whole world is a clown show Johnny! Just keep doing what you're doing, some of us appreciate whether we agree with you or not. Thanks!
cooksey talk crab on r huges that type off person i dont like
I responded to the crap he said about me.
Glen Elen is too fast anyway, Ryan Hughes said motocross is going too fast and getting too dangerous. Bro things AMA MX = Tourist Trophy at Isle of Man 😂
Way way too fast. 4th 5th gear and so many damn injuries every weekend there. If they put actual jumps in the track to regulate speed it would be safer and much more fun

JH, not that my option matters (you know what they say about opinions) but I agree with and more importantly appreciate you your channel and the support you receive from your subscribers and viewers.
I loved the respect and class you showed with the Moment of Silence for Brooke! Speaks volumes about your character.
You come at most topics from a lighthearted fun angle and still get the point or information out to us. I had to stop watching Cooksey, I could not handle any more of his negativity, BS topics fueled mostly by speculation and minimal facts and his constant RC bashing rants.
I love moto-x, but personally I dont need all the inside dirt, scoops or stories on the industry. I just want to watch good racing from the best riders out there.
Thank you, BRRRAAAAPPPP DADADADA!
Dude.... I unsuscribed to Cooksey when he started talking trash about RC as a commentator... Cooksey is way too negative... Good judgement call on your part!
I love your channel for what it is..don’t change a thing JH.
There are things that need uncovering sometimes…I don’t find it negative to lay facts on the table.
From the outside lookin in it looks like promoters % is too high but I’m not a promoter and I don’t deal with lawyers and insurance etc etc etc.
Don’t sweat the small stuff JH…stay calm brother you’re all good-keep pumpin
You're doin fine Johnny. Don't change nothin. I have unsubscribed from Cooksey a couple of times. I give him a fair shot. Then he fumbles. And then again. And then again. It's like watching Sexton and just waitin for the crash. It's not if, it's when.
Cooksey in my opinion is an A-Grade ego driven dummy I've only been watching Supercross/Motocross since I first saw Chad Reed competing. Cooksey is really the only blemish on the number one sport in the world, he truly takes the cake. 😂
I never watch Cooksey - his profanity, judgement, arrogance & stupidity makes me uncomfortable. He's not bright. 20watt bulb. Maybe 15w? Chill. I think you're having a negative reaction to too many Costco Cookies.
Like your videos. Like how your handling your issues. I DON’T agree with your world supercross/motocross change comments. Supercross is an AMERICAN sport. You want to race it then come to America. No interest in bowing down to European rules. This is our sport. No adjusting my opinion on this.
Oh and I don’t like Vialle. Go Deegan!
I have 2 master's from the University of Texas one is an MBA so I may know just a bit more than you about it. It's not capitalism it's a monopoly. GREED. MX sports gets paid well by NBC and MX sports is just nickel and diming these tracks, for example why the F would a track have to pay for NBC announcers. MX sports wants $1 per ticket sold then wants 3,500 free tickets, that's just stupid. Either give them a $1 per ticket and 1k in free tickets or no free tickets and the have to buy how many ever they REALLY need, or let's see a list of who got or needs a free ticket. Track pays 10k to the tshirt people then gets 10% back on all sales? The IRS needs to take a good look at all these shenanigans and you know what I'm sitting here all day retired I think I'll let them know they need to take a look.
Agree with you on all the points you mafe in this video 100 percent.
Guess what, in business, if every single customer accepts your terms, you're priced way too low. GH declining the deal isn't an indictment on the other side of the deal (MX sports), that's frickin capitalism and in business you want to be in the yellow. If youre in the green youre not pushing the limits and leaving way toouch on the table. Pretty sure theres 12 tracks that still agree to the terms and there'd be a long waiting list of tracks behind them too to accept those terms.
And i hate how negative ge is and he's always looking to theow shade at others, especially people rhat give way more to the sport than rhe bitchers and moaners.
This Sport that we ALL love will never grow to its potential until the RIDERS organize themselves UNIONIZE. Currently there is no entity that looks after rider safety, track Safety, scheduling and most importantly rider SALARIES. Until this happens organizations that are a part of the sport will always prioritize their Bottom line over riders or tracks. Unfortunately most of the people in positions of power are grossly misinformed and have politically biased opinions. Let me know when your favorite Bureaucrat gives AF about the sports well being. Only people that will suffer from riders organizing is the Conglomerates you same people hate. I wish I was making this up!!

Popular, or unpopular, your opinion is what it is: YOUR opinion. Do I share that opinion? For the most part, yes. Would I love to see Glen Helen have a national back? Also, yes. Do I really care if it ever happens? No. There are plenty of other tracks that put on good shows.
Heck, My opinion? Put them all on Two-Strokes with no start devices, and dirt starts. Does anyone agree? I don't care.
