I knew about the story about him almost dying but Wow. I didn’t realize they found out she was pregnant with Haiden too. What a gnarly story. Definitely a sign to change.
This is far from the YNW Melly trial bro and not a place I expected to see you comment on. It's crazy to see my very separate worlds collide, and it messes with my mind when it happens. It's almost like when I find an army buddy that's into drill music.
Sick interview, love how open Brian is about his journey to where he is now as I have always been a fan. Metal Mulisha was big when I lived in Southern California. The Deegz is going to tear it up 2024..
Well I'd hope since he's in the weaker class. Hampshire would definitely be a thorn in his side. That's why he wasn't at Anaheim, that 250 field lineup was too strong for him to start off in and possibly lose all the hype
All the years of experience and past memories really shinned through on this one. Always a touching interview when you can get grateful emotions to fly high!
I said it on the first part and I’ll say it again… Haiden Deegan and the Lawrence brothers alone got me back into watching racing since 2018. I got older and life hit me. This season of SX and MX really gave me something to look forward to! I miss riding so much!
First of all, so stoked on this interview. I think its the best I've seen yet. Secondly, am I tripping, or can you literally not help but to love Brian Deegan? I mean, every single one of these interviews I watch, I gain more and more respect for him. Its remarkable. We should all strive to have a mindset like Brain. Lastly, I hope everyone can appreciate how difficult it must be to expose your own vulnerabilities on camera for the world to see. However, people love it (myself included), and Brain obviously knows that. Lettttsssss Go #38
I am from Kentucky and several friends of mine i grew up with raced pro against him and knew Brian well in the early nineties. He was just like any other racer, trying, hoping to get just a little sponsorship to follow thier dreams. His story went a path different than others, but everyone takes different paths. Some make thier own paths, some are helped down a path by others. No matter if you travel that path alone or are helped and guided with help by others, the drive and determination to go that direction must come from within. Point being, one could be given everything needed to become something. However, no matter how much one is given, no matter how much one is led, the desire, the passion, the will to achieve has to come from within. You give every child Haiden lined up against on a PW50 the opportunity that Haiden was given, probably 5% or less would be where he is today. The opportunity Brian gave Haiden means nothing. The way Brian and Marisa raised him, the passion to succeed they showed him, that and other life lessons were haidens to run with. Run Haiden run!
Nah if any other kid would have star yamaha on their side at lorettas and totally screwed Deegan out of a claimed bike then they would have the same opportunities.... But the deegans and yamaha totally pulled some Shady nonsense on an innocent young racer who was just trying to get faster. They couldn't stand it and wouldn't let the claim go through.... Dedgans and yamaha can kick rocks acting like a bunch of spoiled Chad's
Gosh that made me emotional! I guess what im taking from that is to set your intentions in life and to keep forging forward! Maybe the heaviest one ive seen on Swap! Good stuff!
I’m currently going through pretty much that exact same injury myself where I came off my bike and took a handle bar to the kidney rupturing it collapsing my lung at the same time. laying on the ground for 1 hour waiting for the chopper literally biting my tongue as my life is leaving my body. After 4 hours in theatre, 4 blood transfusions and some insane rehab, I live to tell the tale. pretty awesome and refreshing knowing I shared the same fate as Brian someone who I’ve looked up to for a long time now and where he is at now gives me so much hope that I’ll be back and ripping again in no time, so rad!!
Brian has my utmost respect! Similar childhoods for sure. I love his drive yet he pressures no one. Great dad, good head on his shoulders, good family, very humble. He is winning!
Can you be the one to do a 2 or 3 hour session with Brian! I love hearing him tell his stories and give the deep dives into history of things. His knowledge in the sport is very interesting and needs to be shared with the world from him. He is an inspiration as a father and motivation as a man. Love this episode #38
Im 66 ,from the land of Obummer. Down the road from Chase's hometown. Danger is young and has BIG BALLS. A few of his superman moves are FREEKING CRAZY! Stay healthy young hotshoe. God im old.
I can see Hudson being the one that’s lights that Metal Mulisha torch, when he gets to Haidens age. Idk just saying he seems like wild child that would represent that brand well to new younger audience.
Gnarly interesting how his life came to be, and still is changing and growing. I too came to God after almost dieing , weird it has to be so hard for some of us to get to know him and jump on the path of Jesus.
I grew up watching it all evolve. I was a big bmx dude watching freestyle moto become one of my favorites still to this day I can relate to Brian as a kid and ans adult. I was a single dad for 7 years id work all day ny kids at home then our weekend always at tracks.
I have so much respect for this dude. Brian Deegan is a good dude, seems to be a great husband and is an even better father. With the trials of his childhood he could have easily gone the other way completely. You cannot convince me the conversation he had with God as he was dying in that bed that day is not the reason why.
I'm sure there will be many haters chime in to say I told you so, Haiden was given everything. But what will deflate them the most will be hearing Brian confirm he acknowledges that it is somewhat true. However Brian explaining how the passion, the growth, giving the tools and opportunities came organically is what every parent would do for their child if they could and that was what made them happy and the family unit stronger. The haters feed themselves with envy, one of the seven sins.
Brian gave Haiden the tools to succeed. You can’t buy talent and ability on a dirt bike no matter how much money you have. What it boils down to is Brian got him the bikes to ride and Haiden did the work and is successful. People are jealous of that and that’s where the hate comes from. I applaud Brian, he worked his ass off his whole career to provide for his family, he does that and people hate on him for it. I grew up riding dirt bikes, got my first bike when I was 5, I was super fast as a kid around the natural tracks in the hills we made. My parents just wouldn’t let me race. I wanted to but they were against it. Nothing I could do about that. Who knows maybe I could have went pro and made a living from it. I grew up with Mike Keidrowski and it worked for him. Unfortunately he raced when the money wasn’t like it is today and you can retire and have a nice life with the money you made. Mike is now a superintendent for a big construction company and he absolutely loves his job. I’m now a union finish carpenter and make a good living and I love my job as well.
Statistically, the world is a much safer place than it was in the 70’s, 80’s, & 90’s. The reason why we think it isn’t is because we have much more information in the palm of our hand. But when you have a phone in your pocket, cameras are everywhere, and access to much more self defense equipment, our kids are way safer than our parents were. We just have the illusion we’re not safer.
I had a heart to heart with Brian at A1 in front of the Heart and Hunington pit party. I asked when he was gonna have his rig like that, he said, no dude we're freestyle guys. I said no you are moto at heart, I saw his brain ticking and the next year Bam Metal Melisha was on Star rigs. Brian is an original awesome dude.
dude! Haiden saying "I'm mulisha" would be nuts!!! if he wins a championship that'd be the move right there. mulisha would be back on top! its gonna happen I have a feeling!
At 12 yrs old My parents would drop me and my friends off at live concerts events go away for weekends. So why is it there is no way im letting my kids go to the concession stand alone at a live event.
“Can we turn the switch one day?” On Mulisha hell yes. Not only Haiden but Colby Raha, Jason Borosky, Jacko Strong, Brandon Howard are all Mulisha guys repping the brand and image right now. Deegan has the potential to form a new MM team and it could work.
Haiden will be the next big 450 guy & others but he will hold something special with the winning mindset he has & you can see why tomac is a beast there program sounds simple but very effective & haiden will learn so much from them its a great story behind it all 💥🏁
Brian played the Metal Mulisha “evil guy” all the way to the bank. I believe the revenue was somewhere close to $100 million a year, many school districts banned the clothing brand believing it represented a gang, etc. If you were in Southern California during the late 90s early 2000s you basically couldn’t go anywhere without seeing a Metal Mulisha shirt or flat bill. That brand was everywhere!
I remember seeing it only in stores like Tilly’s and No Fear in the early 2000s by the late 2000s/early 2010s i saw the brand everywhere. I see way less of it now but I still rock it all the time. Their clothing I think is better now than when it was sponsored by Rockstar.
Great interview, I just wish the sport would be more open to these guys being honest. Can't say they did drugs and did crazy shit cause someone would have a heart attack. It's time for a little more room for honesty
To all the people that say Haiden grew up with a silver spoon and didn’t have to work for everything he’s ever got, Brian put in the work so his kids wouldn’t have to but nurtured all his kids always pushing but never too far, he paid a huge price for his family to have what they have.
Brian is one hell of a tough guy with everything he has gone though and yeah its ok people to talk shit on him and haiden but thats just jealousy and people with no backbone to get out there and risk it all.... We need more of Brian on the show..!!!
I knew about the story about him almost dying but Wow. I didn’t realize they found out she was pregnant with Haiden too. What a gnarly story. Definitely a sign to change.
No way your a moto fan cam that’s wild I use to watch the Vlogs with skies and Landon Johnny all the boys🤯
This is far from the YNW Melly trial bro and not a place I expected to see you comment on. It's crazy to see my very separate worlds collide, and it messes with my mind when it happens. It's almost like when I find an army buddy that's into drill music.
Super great backstory on Deegan. Absolutely love this! Great interview SWAP
I love how he does not deny his savior
Sick interview, love how open Brian is about his journey to where he is now as I have always been a fan. Metal Mulisha was big when I lived in Southern California. The Deegz is going to tear it up 2024..

Indeed
One of the best interviews of the Year loved it!🔥🔥
I could listen for hours to listen to Deegan tell stories 😊
Great interview! Good job letting Brian go where his mind took him….
LOVED this interview. Donn is such a smooth interviewer and I love how he steered the convo and let Deegan talk about his background/upbringing.etc
I said it on the first part and I’ll say it again… Haiden Deegan and the Lawrence brothers alone got me back into watching racing since 2018. I got older and life hit me. This season of SX and MX really gave me something to look forward to! I miss riding so much!
Me too 100% I quit watching as much when dungey retired and the indoor tracks started to change

Best two Brian interviews I have seen or heard him do! RESPECT!!!
Loved this interview. It was great to see this look into Brian's life.
Such a great interview! Real questions..
Brian has so much history. He’s done more every couple of years then most people do in a life time. So cool to hear more behind the scenes.
This was soooo Real to watch.... great job !!
Brian has my utmost respect! Similar childhoods for sure. I love his drive yet he pressures no one. Great dad, good head on his shoulders, good family, very humble. He is winning!
Brian Deegan Rules!! God Bless you and yours!!
Can you be the one to do a 2 or 3 hour session with Brian! I love hearing him tell his stories and give the deep dives into history of things.

Love me some Deegan as he gets older.
He’s the whole package.
Favorite part is how good a father he is.
What a great interview. Thank you. 🤘😎🤘
This was great! Brian is an awesome person, dad, racer and mentor.
Outstanding interview Swap
I can see Hudson being the one that’s lights that Metal Mulisha torch, when he gets to Haidens age. Idk just saying he seems like wild child that would represent that brand well to new younger audience.

Damn I love this sport so much. 24 is going to be the most insane season of all time.
Gnarly interesting how his life came to be, and still is changing and growing. I too came to God after almost dieing , weird it has to be so hard for some of us to get to know him and jump on the path of Jesus.
Brian Deegan is one of my favorite humans ever.
Great show! We loved every second of it!
That was awesome! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Love listening to Brian talk. Love Metal Mulisha🤘
Thank you gentlemen 🙏.
They could have made this interview 3 hours and it would stay interesting the entire time and everyone would still watch
Badass! Brian you're a legend!
Thanks Don. Great stories
Great interview.
Great interview! Very cool stories. And no profanity! Way to go SWAP.
I grew up watching it all evolve. I was a big bmx dude watching freestyle moto become one of my favorites still to this day I can relate to Brian as a kid and ans adult. I was a single dad for 7 years id work all day ny kids at home then our weekend always at tracks.
So much to admire in Deagan and his train of thought...
I have so much respect for this dude. Brian Deegan is a good dude, seems to be a great husband and is an even better father. With the trials of his childhood he could have easily gone the other way completely. You cannot convince me the conversation he had with God as he was dying in that bed that day is not the reason why.

Love revolves around envy
That Tomac thing seemed so forced. As if the Tomacs wanted the Deegashians there 😂
Criiiinnngggeee
Brian and Don is OG motocross!
Can’t wait for 2024🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪💪#feelingdangerous
Statistically, the world is a much safer place than it was in the 70’s, 80’s, & 90’s. The reason why we think it isn’t is because we have much more information in the palm of our hand.
But when you have a phone in your pocket, cameras are everywhere, and access to much more self defense equipment, our kids are way safer than our parents were. We just have the illusion we’re not safer.
Imo the most dangerous thing we do is Drive, people are flying these days and Drive like idiots, other than that I agree 😅
Don I never hear you tell any stories about LangTown supercross I know you raced it and I always thought that was so cool, got any stories about it?
I had a heart to heart with Brian at A1 in front of the Heart and Hunington pit party. I asked when he was gonna have his rig like that, he said, no dude we're freestyle guys. I said no you are moto at heart, I saw his brain ticking and the next year Bam Metal Melisha was on Star rigs. Brian is an original awesome dude.
Multiple titles with deegan38 on the fenders
dude! Haiden saying "I'm mulisha" would be nuts!!! if he wins a championship that'd be the move right there. mulisha would be back on top! its gonna happen I have a feeling!
At 12 yrs old My parents would drop me and my friends off at live concerts events go away for weekends. So why is it there is no way im letting my kids go to the concession stand alone at a live event.
The boys would be fine. My girls.. no way.
Cuz we are more aware of some people’s nature and intentions these days
Cause the worlds gone to hell in a hand basket
no, because you read about it, and click bait titles that scare you into thinking that, but most places, kids are fine to explore@@papabear9498
AWESOMENESS TRUTHFUL HONEST GREAT
INTERVIEW
HATS OFF TO GROWING UP !!!!
Have we ever seen Brian's parents on his channel? I think the one's I've seen in the last three years of watching are his wife's parents.... right?
Brian is so awesome man ! Can’t wait for Detroit supercross again this my 2nd year going and metal mulisha is my favorite brand !
“Can we turn the switch one day?” On Mulisha hell yes. Not only Haiden but Colby Raha, Jason Borosky, Jacko Strong, Brandon Howard are all Mulisha guys repping the brand and image right now. Deegan has the potential to form a new MM team and it could work.
The world’s a much different place now my friend..
Wow what a beautiful story
Thanks for letting US ALL in your family life .Such a inspiration to be successful.
🙏✨️🏁🏁🏁👏👏👏#38 💖🏆💯🏆
Thank you SML🏁👏👏🏁
Haiden will be the next big 450 guy & others but he will hold something special with the winning mindset he has & you can see why tomac is a beast there program sounds simple but very effective & haiden will learn so much from them its a great story behind it all 💥🏁
We never really die
It is very interesting to listen to Deegan
That was AWESOME!
Not going to lie I have no idea why but definitely got emotional couple times in this video

It would be cool if Webb and Haiden wore Mulisha gear for a race.
I have lots of ideas on ways to help the sport grow
I miss doing the show
What a great interview both you guys cheesy over talks of works 85 bikes
In a tent ,in thunder storms ,waiting for your dad??? ,,,,dam RACING is a different breed🏁💪🏁🇺🇲🏁💪💯🙏🦅✨️💖🏆
They should be renamed, resources and opportunities with how often he says it
