Details on Haiden Training with Eli Tomac & More! | Brian Deegan on the SML Show - Part 2 

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.

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..

One of the best interviews of the Year loved it!🔥🔥

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 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!

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 could listen for hours to listen to Deegan tell stories 😊

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!

Great interview! Good job letting Brian go where his mind took him….

Loved this interview. It was great to see this look into Brian's life.

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!

Such a great interview! Real questions..

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

Props to these 2 old friends! 38!

Wow what a great interview. Brian’s a legend. Huge respect to him.

Best two Brian interviews I have seen or heard him do! RESPECT!!!

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.

This was soooo Real to watch.... great job !!

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!!

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.

🔥Thanks for a great interview

Brian Deegan Rules!! God Bless you and yours!!

Wow that was a great interview. Thanks!

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.

What a great interview. Thank you. 🤘😎🤘

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 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.

Great episode. Im a big fan of you both!

This was great! Brian is an awesome person, dad, racer and mentor.

FABULOUS, absolutely fabulous. Thank you. 👍🇺🇸💪

Thank you for this interview great stories TOP KNOTCH FOR SURE 🙏🙏🙏

Outstanding interview Swap

THE GENERAL IS PURE GOLD !!!! AWESOME INTERVIEW, LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT !!!!

Thank you gentlemen 🙏.

Didn't think you could top episode 1. WOW! You did it.

Brian is legit one of the best interviews. His story is so cool and he is so modest. You’d never know how he truly is without interviews like this by just the outside look he always had given off

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.

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!

Praise God!!! What an awesome testimony. Glad ur open about ur Christianity in this sport.❤

Great interview.

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.

Great interview, watched them both. Brian’s a gnarly dude!

Best interview ever!

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.

Great show! We loved every second of it!

That was awesome! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

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

Damn I love this sport so much. 24 is going to be the most insane season of all time.

Badass! Brian you're a legend!

Thanks Don. Great stories

Been following Deegan for years love the family,great video

Brian and Don is OG motocross!

Good stuff

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 💥🏁

Can’t wait for 2024🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪💪#feelingdangerous

It is very interesting to listen to Deegan

That was AWESOME!

So sick.Thanks.

They could have made this interview 3 hours and it would stay interesting the entire time and everyone would still watch

So much to admire in Deagan and his train of thought...

Great interview! Very cool stories. And no profanity! Way to go SWAP.

Thanks for letting US ALL in your family life .Such a inspiration to be successful. 🙏✨️🏁🏁🏁👏👏👏#38 💖🏆💯🏆 Thank you SML🏁👏👏🏁

Wow what a beautiful story

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

Wow Awesome 🤘🤘

KILLER VID THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would be cool if Webb and Haiden wore Mulisha gear for a race.

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?

Awesome

The world’s a much different place now my friend..

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?

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.

Two legends epic, great interview. 🚤🏩🥇🏆

Speaking the Word ❤ Jesus Loves.

That Tomac thing seemed so forced. As if the Tomacs wanted the Deegashians there 😂 Criiiinnngggeee

Brian is so awesome man ! Can’t wait for Detroit supercross again this my 2nd year going and metal mulisha is my favorite brand !

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.

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!

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.

Not going to lie I have no idea why but definitely got emotional couple times in this video

Love listening to Brian talk. Love Metal Mulisha🤘

True role model for all businessmen and fathers

Deegan 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Got my ride in Cuz all good here

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 have lots of ideas on ways to help the sport grow

That was cool

I can see a future will Huckson will be the Mulisha DUDE

RIP Brian Swink 🙏

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.

I garentee when Eli retires I bet his dad starts training haiden full time 🔥

Would give u the drive and mentality to take on the world 🌎

I miss doing the show

Great interview, Jesus is Lord. Great testimony Brian.

In a tent ,in thunder storms ,waiting for your dad??? ,,,,dam RACING is a different breed🏁💪🏁🇺🇲🏁💪💯🙏🦅✨️💖🏆

Love tomorrow all we got Angels included

I know the feeling. I got famous and this same thing happened to me. Some crazy delusional person was drugging and poisoning me in disbelief they were my daddy. Lost 8 years of my life. Got famous and than woke up one day with a "middleman". Use to drug me me and force beliefs into my melted brain. Try to control me and force company logos into my life. Like a killer Pinocchio. Some puppet sent to kill me. 8 years gone. Use to unbolt my bike parts and break things so I couldn't leave. As if the broken back and eyes rolled in back of my head wasn't enough. That's my tv dad.. and if everything I say gets out to the world and makes headlines thanks to all the rich people tracking me, than this is what's going to get out. Not what shoe brand I prefer
