Did Yamaha and Haiden Deegan Cheat? It Looks Very Suspicious 

Absolutely.

100%. I'm boycotting Star Yamaha, Yamaha and the Deegans. Not getting a dollar from me. I've never liked Brian but Haiden had a choice to make it right and chose not to. I get that he's young but right is right and wrong is wrong. He chose badly and I can't support that.

Buddy don’t believe everything u see on the internet

@@coolio3498 If you can tell me that Haiden's bike wasn't claimed by Brennan, then OK, I stand corrected. If not, well I guess there is nothing more to say other than sour grapes...

Bud it honestly was not Brian who would have been the one who was worried. Star is the one that would have been pressing and not wanting the bike to get into others hands and for good reason. I’m sure That bike has never been in the deegan a hands other than Haiden on the track. Star most likely brought the bike to the race themselves. If that was just a bike Brian built for Haiden I’d be willing to bet he would have not dealt with the drama and been pumped to sell it for so much. Star has the best bikes in the game right now and not for any other reason than hard work. Also, the price on the claiming rule is terrible. I would be willing to bet if you walked down the start line and talked to every rider who had a new bike they would tell you that they had way more than the cost of the bike into aftermarket parts. With this rule you could go to LL and pick out the rider with the richest dad and buy yourself a bad ass bike with 1 race on it for a lot less than it would cost to build it. For example, wheels are 2500,exhaust is 1200 on some bikes,a motor build could be anywhere from 1000-10,000 depending and the rich kids at those races dad’s will drop 10k on a motor without blinking. Triple clamps are 1000, graphics are 200, most a lot of the kids on the start line have kit suspension and that’s as much as a new bike alone. If some kid had forgone buying a bike for LL and saved his money he could have bought a 30k bike from a few non factory riders I am certain of it. I wonder how mad people would be at a father that throws away money on this race every year when he doesn’t let some random kid in the class buy his sons bike for a low price. The people who think that there aren’t at least 10 kids and a few that are total nobodies that have >30k bikes in that class are out of touch with reality this isn’t 2001 anymore. You don’t race this race out of a pickup truck with a tent anymore! There are semis pulling in and unloading 8 65’s on the lift gate!

@@chadsanner792 You make a great argument on why the rule is there. To try and keep the escalating bike costs down for the amateur class of racing, in an effort to make it more competitive. What the current costs in upgrades are, and what one shows up in, are not relevant. The rules state 2X retail for a claimed bike, that's what matters. After that, spend what one elects to. No one is twisting one's arm too. Everyone one does it with the understanding that they could lose the bike, and the over investment if the bike is claimed, not their $300k plus rig(s) and trailer(s). In regard to Star Yamaha, they took a gamble knowing the risks. A very risking one at that. Probably in excess of $50k. Maybe it was arrogance on their part, thinking, no one has the balls to claim our bike, especially with a Deegan riding it... Someone did. In the end, they got off easy... As for Brian Deegan, if Brian wasn't concerned, then why was he asking the kid, "Why are you doing this?" Him being concerned is completely understandable, Haiden is at the beginning of what could be a legendary career. He has a better start than he ever had... Haiden is his son, not Star Yamaha, he has the final say on what Haiden does on every level...

@@bigpapa1470 just to be clear on my opnion. I’m not saying they should have just ignored the rule as it was part of the rules. So if someone decided it was a good idea to choose to use this rule it looks like they lost a bike. I get all that. Now They are allowed however, to make a deal with the family to get them to not buy it or talk to them to explain why they think shouldn’t. We have no idea what was said about that part just hear say. I would also agree with you on leveling the playing field in the stock classes. Not so much If you’re gonna have a mod class. that class shouldn’t be limited or leveled. If so why even have it? If you can’t compete in the mod class due to money there is a class for you, the stock class. Limiting people from doing everything they can just down to a small amount? That’s what stock classes are for. My point about the vehicles they show up in was just a reference of how expensive the sport and general life expenses have become. There’s only a certain demographic that’s showing up to these things. You think a guy who can’t afford a good bike is gonna be able to buy a bike for 17k cash?? This kid showed up with 17k in cash. You telling me the class needs leveled for him due to money?? He!! No!! Obviously the kid can buy whatever he wants they just want a shortcut on the product. The rule isn’t to level the field. It’ll only allows people with a giant bank account to further circumvent the hard work. That is my big reason for the rule being dumped in that class. Also, my other point about what they show up in is you are not taking your kids to the am nationals all year on 100k a year job not spending almost a quarter of your gross income for the year on a bike. And Last, but not least there is absolutely none of this story that is verified other than he said she said. The guy that parked next to my buddy who was at the race said a guy he ran into at the creek told him…….. I wouldn’t decide who I support or who I do not on a gossip video. Some of the gossip is surly true, but to what extent? we have no idea.

They more than likely had over 30 grand in it.

You win the comments😂😂😂

😂🤘👊

Make a great motomeme

LOL😂

Also yes if there were people mad and threatening them that night that’s unacceptable and there had to be some security of some kind at this event. They should have been throwing people out.

Cheating in this case isn’t about running something illegal but rather running something others don’t have access to. This is the whole point of the rule. When it comes to star and the deegans it definitely has nothing to do with the cost of the parts, it’s about keeping their proprietary info locked down. Which again is the whole point of the rule, to keep amateur racing more fair.

Not to be overlooked is the "Provinace" of this bike. If you where to put it in a auction of sporting goods say in three years when he is probably the best of the Pro's what is it worth!! They Know by paying that small amount they would double thier money in the future not to mention the youtube boost.

this rule are only used by the losers, never heard of top guys buying top guy's bike, if you say this rule keep amateur racing more fair, then that is bs, the top kids in LL already have contracts waiting for them, those kids like this kid who tried to clain haiden's bike, is a kid who stood no chance in the competition. if he wanted a bike like haiden, he should work hard for it.

@@motofreak2772 If we abide by your theory then there should be no Mod classes whatsoever, and everyone racing must be an amateur and race stock bikes. Once you get into mod stuff you open a whole new can of worms as we saw in this case. The bike was not illegal, in mod class, but it may have proprietary stuff on it that Star might not want in public. LL effectively shot themselves in the foot by trying to maintain the claim rule in any mod class. So why did LL allow them then? Because it opened up a segment that allows these up and coming riders that are heading for Pro to test their skills. And it gives the Amateur classed a chance to mingle with them, and it brings not only more revenue, but more excitement and publicity. If anything, I think the claim rule should not be included in the mod classes, because you should be able to "run what ya brung", regardless. Either that or figure 3x on claim value. Why? Well, Factory secrets are expensive.

Right I just heard a lot of “Supposedly” so in this Day, and Age where you can’t sling a dead cat and not hit a cell phone…no video? Seem’s kinda strange.

All this guy does is spread fake info....he's a clown.

I heard this story the night my son got home from the race. Almost word for word with a little more detail on the claiming side. They were obviously hiding something when they are threating a dealerships franchise. I also agree, Deegan is major talent and didn't need the factory bike. Motocross is so damn political it is scarey and being a bully is just a dick move.

Sounds like a sore loser reaction and as stated a social media move. IDK how often do motors get changed at this level when you’re sponsored by this size of a team. I’ll also agree MX is full of BS politics so who knows. But pulling a contract would cost Yamaha a lot mote than a bike and a reputation. Think of the law suits, you cannot walk in and pull a contract in Canada without cause.

I agree the video is all just allegedly this allegedly that

I expect it to change

.....OR the AMA may have just decided to use COMMON SENSE.

@@jamesadams2334 lmao imagine wanting to protect R&D money put into the bike to make the athletes you pay, perform better. The old head claiming rule is a horse shit way to punish the standout talent. Star likely wouldn't of let the kid touch the bike regardless of what the Deegans wanted, its their property.

the rule itself is the definition of corruption of power, this rule are only used by the losers, never heard of top guys buying top guy's bike

@@racingwrld it doesn’t matter what start would have wanted. It’s a rule. Forfeit the championship or allow the claiming of your bike.

Then they want to get mad at you for being mad at Goliath

It's kind of bullshit that the kid racing out of the back of a truck had to pull this to make a name for himself. It's obvious by the timing of the claim that he was fucking with haiden.

@@mcgovney6969 what was wrong with the timing? They were going to work with Haiden to let him finish his motos. Claiming the bike doesn’t make a name for the kid either. But I bet next year star will use off the shelf motors so maybe then he stands a chance. You don’t even need to beat the factory guys to make a name for yourself, just keeping up and putting in an impressive ride can lead to big sponsors for these back of the truck kids.

@@motofreak2772 If he was serious about claiming the bike he would have waited until after schoolboy and loaded it up and left with it. This sure did make a name for himself...I've never heard of him until this happened. Also, a kid racing out of the back of his truck doesn't have an extra 19k to gamble on maybe getting a works motor.

@@mcgovney6969 what? Okay you don’t get what I’m saying. The point isn’t to give everyone a works motor the point is to stop anyone from having one. You’re focused on the kid who made the claim but he placed 16th, how about the guy who placed 5th? Those are the kids who are getting shafted when a talent like Deegan gets to ride $50k bike. And why are you so against fair racing in amateurs? Of course Deegan will still win on the fair motor, he proved that, but at least give the others a chance. This whole shenanigans obviously scared Star so hopefully next year them and all the other factory teams only bring off the shelf equipment.

Love your channel 🤘

its bullshit how a kid can drop mommys money on degans bike to use it for a youtube video to get all this hype over social media greedy and saltly is what it is... kids mad he is dogshit at the sport he chose cant get better so he causes drama and trys to fuck other peoples career

He didn’t do it for a RU-vid video. There was beef from a few months ago when they got into each other racing at south wick. This was planned and it wasn’t for a RU-vid video.

Is it odd that with the thousands of people at the Ranch that week, there has not been One Parent, track official, sponsor, manufacturer like Honda, Kawasaki, Gas Gas, KTM etc., the countless kids with their phones taking video... Not One Person has uploaded anything concerning this event... No Complaints filed... Nothing. the story is all Bullshit... Cooksey Media wanted clicks and subscribers... remember... there is always a motive to trashing others, and that is most likely profit.

@@traveler142 I agree 100%. Cooksey kept saying things like “harrassing this kid in the woods at night” and that the kid was “bullied” and “scared”? We’re talking about Loretta’s, a VERY family oriented event where that just wouldn’t be possible. If anything it was a chicken shit move and the kids lucky he didn’t get his ass kicked for pulling that shit in my opinion. Cooksey is a joke and obviously an idiot knowing that anybody with any sense will see right though his bullshit.

search "haiden deegan southwick crash" on youtube - he was the rider that took haiden's line and haiden crashed so hard, flew so far and rolled so many times -- im starting to think this kid just hates haiden and wants what he has

RACERX did a story on Deegan. On the cover he was in a business suit. The whole artical was about how smart he was business wise.

@@racingwrld 100% he's petty and jealous and this was planned by him and his family.

@@fjbfuckjoebiden8548 planned or not a rule is a rule and nobody should be above them. It doesn't matter if someone hates or is jealous of someone or not. As far as Tim doing what is claimed idk that I believe that. I've known him for a long time and haven't seen or heard of this kind of activity on his part and I've been around a lot of races with him and the racer production crews. Possible.... sure but why haven't anyone else discussing this except for this dude that I've never heard of before??

The Open class is the only answer to cheaters. E-bikes are coming anyway, get on with it.

You don't have to ride a "stock bike" (why you pay 2x) AND it was a claim, not a protest... You people need to learn the facts of the sport before having such ridiculous comments.

not protested claimed if he had protested the bike nothing would have happened to him

They did nothing wrong

"didnt need it" implies that Deegan actually had a factory bike. Fact is, he didnt. Brian has been pretty vocal about the fact that Haiden's bike is not what the pro Star guys get and Haiden himself has been vocal about the fact that he has to earn a pro bike. It's one of the reasons Haiden didnt race A class this year - he doesnt have access to the pro level Star bikes so Brian wasnt comfortable sending him into A class with inferior equipment. Like you said, the Deegans are good people.

@@S0RELOSER according to someone out here, there's a rule that states riders must race 1 year B class before they can go to A class. Idk if it's true or not. But I put a comment on a different video how racing A class next would be a complete waste of time for deegan now, and that he should have went straight to A class, some guy got all in his feelings over it. In the comment he said there's a rule saying you have to race 1 year of B class. If that's true, that's one dumbass rule.

That’s what the 250 Limited (Stock) class is for. The 250 B is the mod class. He’s not the only factory bike racing in his class, but the haters will find anything to complain about.

@@S0RELOSER No, it doesn't. It implies that it was a modified bike, not a factory bike. Star just doesn't want people to know how their head is ported, cam specs, suspension valving...

He kicked out Twitch because Twitch was better then him and outshined him....... At the time Twitch was HANDS DOWN the biggest rider for MM and in the pro Truck racing they were doing back then. Deegan HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN EGO FUCKBOY why everybody forgets this and thinks hes a "good dude" is clueless. They haven't watched it all go down for the last 25 years like I have.

Full on. The ugliest part of any sort of racing/competition is the ugly parent syndrome, whether you are talking Jnr MX, BMX, or many other sports. My sons (and their parents !) relished the day we left junior MX for all the petty jealousy, bullshit rumours, outright lies, and all the other baggage that came with their success.

Agreed, seems kinda thrown together on some stuff

@@johnstaring3210 u are so right,it hasn't changed at all since the 80s when I raced..lol

Then why would Yamaha threaten to take a dealership away? Why did Yamaha make such a big deal about keeping the bike? MX is more about the rider than the machine. So many in MX don't think that though. MX is physical and mental fitness. Nothing to do with a little more power. After the rider it would be suspension, and then, at this level, not that important.

AMA is in Kahoots with Deegan's because they think Deegan's sell more tickets for them. Pretty obvious what's happening.

The rules have never been the rules for the AMA. One set of rules for the amateurs and no rules for the factories.

100%! Ruining our sport from the inside. Snakes in the hen house. Weed these people out, atleast shine a light on these buffoons- Tim Cotter, Star Yamaha, Deegans, and Alessi's,,, should all ride pink 4wheelers with a dunce hat

If they swapped motors during the claim whoever claimed the bike would have got 2 motors

@@S0RELOSER Yes, they were afraid the bike would have been claimed again in the other class he raced on Saturday. That is probably why they said Evan Ferry was sick and he didn't race the last moto. And the motor was missing out of Ferry's bike on Saturday as well. Coincidence?? I doubt it

What happens next year and the year after that if people claim factory support bikes. I'm sure the factory's will pull out support in those events and the sport as a whole will suffer, sponsors, you name it will, start pulling back support. Everyone will lose. Make a rule change where if someone claims that a rider is cheating they have to pay a fee to make the claim and if they are right then the fee is reimbursed and the rider who cheated pays a fine and gets a suspension.

A kit suspension can be 20 grand

This is a trash rule and needs to be trashed and Loretta should do a tear down on all winning bikes. That would do away with the cheating. Also this kid planned this to claim his bike. And it wasn’t to ride on his RU-vid channel. That’s crap. He wanted to set back deegan and try to stir up shit.

Its not about contesting the rider in this case. Its more of is Star using things that only factory yamaha can get? It may be a totally legal motor but say use a certain head or lifters or oil pump or rings and pistons that we average consumer can't buy for our yamaha. This is amateur where every ride should be able to be built by any racer. If you allow factory participation into amateur races well then what and or who's to keep them honest with any class?

Solid rule

It's a great rule. And contrary to the drama queen Cooksey, the bike was within the rules and off-the-shelf. Just because Star was upset about the bush league stunt pulled by the claimer, doesnt mean they were caught cheating. Teams like to keep memorable bikes. You can be in favor of the rule (I am) but also know when the claim is a stunt and out of line (this is one of those cases). This had nothing to do with the $ either as you can buy team bikes if you know the right people for about $6-7k at the end of each season. This was the principle. Which is why the kid's own sponsor talked him out of the stunt.

exactly. he won the championship with the bike. why wouldn’t he wanna keep it. especially that being his last loretta’s

A regular person has to recoup some of their investment. Team employees have exactly ZERO dollars into these bikes. Like I said - if you know the right people you can buy the bikes. They’re not expensive. They’re totally rebuilt. But they’re also pretty worn out - especially the chassis.

100% he's jealous and this was planned to claim the bike

The kid got 16th in 250b when was he even near haiden and could tell it’s a cheater bike

Maybe he wants to prove that his bike won’t make him any faster and that it’s all rider for performance? Unfortunately, Yamaha brought their factory bike and shit the bed when it was claimed

@@MrCanadaman99 250b is a mod class Isn't it... 250 limited is the stock class... I think this story is all BS... this guy is just looking for clicks.

@@MrCanadaman99 is that what your boyfriend told you?

He literally stated this multiple times. That’s not the issue lol, the issue is how far Yamaha went to cover it up.

@@strackmx3188 if there’s no proof they were cheating then why accuse them of it, I’d be livid if someone claimed my bike no matter what the cost of it is or what parts were on it. The claim rule is stupid and hardly ever gets used the fact that some field filler tried claiming his bike just to claim his bike was bullshit so I definitely see their side. The kid got beat by multiple other riders so why single out the Yamaha team? Just for the clout and the RU-vid clicks and it back fired.

Lol he did that several times in this video...

I know what I’m doing next year at Loretta’s, bringing my check book. Come intimidate me, it’ll be a hoot!

that not the point the point is bullying a kid for doing what the rules say he can do!!

You have the best comment

*Here's brian's response to the bike claim. The bike is from people's hard work **ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AaV-XNzuqEI.html*

@@racingwrld A lot of rambling in that video… zero answers nor any kind of setting the questions straight.

@@wllms02 do you think it is a bit odd that no one has come forward with a video of the incident... no parents of all the other kids racing, no sponsors, no track officials, no other bike manufacturers like Kawasaki, Honda, KTM, Gas Gas etc, no one that witnessed the so called "mob" harassing the kid has posted anything about this or filed a complaint... don't you think the Parents from all the riders would have spoke up... or could it be that someone made up a story and Cooksey Media is using this story for clicks...

@@traveler142 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8ZkJU8-IxMY.html The kid’s talking; and it looks like BD and the yamaha guys are shit heads.

Bro rich people in every sport have an advantage. Mercedes and redbull spend 500 million a year on development and destroy the competition year after year. Then you have amateurs with fully built bikes riding against kids actually trying not to spend a lot because of this rule, and star Yamaha being pussies.

Lame ass rule. Bring what you can afford it is what it is

@@cryptohammer2400 and this attitude is what got us here.

@@cryptohammer2400 it’s a sweet rule, if I’m running back of pack, and can buy a future pro’s bike for 18k I’m all in. Not to ride, purely to throw on a stand in the man cave

They probably figured no one would have the money to buy the bikes lol

I don’t do this to be liked! Guess what, I don’t like you either. 😂

@@CookseyMedia Haha. You'd never get a chance to ever know me. I don't roll with the "Cucksey Mob." Keep up your gossiping

100% he's a fraud

@@fjbfuckjoebiden8548 How so? The BBMX closing, the Feld and MX Sports Merger, or the Deegan to Star...etc. I know a few people you don't, so piss off.

@@CookseyMedia haha people said deegan to star before you. You don't know anyone and nobody talks to you. You just heard what the other said then you said it. You are nothing but gossip.

It sounds like it kinda does.

Yeah, the claiming rule is there for a reason. play stupid games - win stupid prizes - fairly simple. If what is in this video is true, then i have lost all respect for star racing Yamaha… they knew the rules and should have been prepared to have the bike claimed.

It's to make the playing feild more equal. You can't compete with millionaires when your dad is a truckdriver.the rich just keep getting richer

@@WaltDorsey i bet your boyfriend is proud of you

@@Tmogangsta714 life isn't equal and never will be. If the kid has talent it's easy to see

If you watched the video, you would see that is not what I said. Idiot! 🤦‍♂️

so do you bully kids that are faster than you too?

100% they deserve to be in the lockers

@@zbignoz.tunnlerwitz_109 pride boy you would be in a locker too

This is what giving everyone a trophy gets you. A bunch of entitled whiney sore losers. If you win, you get a reward, if you lose you don't get squat. Teach kids to work harder and earn it. Everyone doesn't deserve a trophy

O'Doyle RULES!!!

Could have been, or “Star blunders amateur race and allows bike to be claimed, secrets exposed”

@@CookseyMedia accept they would have had to blunder something. Winning isn’t a blunder. A more apt tittle along that thought process would be “AMA amateur rule blunder exposes how star Yamaha did what factory Yamaha and JGR couldn’t.” I get that the perspective of this video is possible. Just pointing out how there could be more probable possibilities. We all know Yamaha struggled for a long time until Star took reins in the 250’s and now the 450’s. Clearly they figured that bike out better than everyone else. So why would they want that out there? You said yourself Haiden doesn’t need to cheat. So what’s more likely. A shop like Star Yamaha has something to hide they did wrong? Or something they want and should keep to themselves they’ve done very right? Why would Star take the risk when Haiden might have been able to win if they painted a Suzuki blue and had him ride that? It really doesn’t make sense.

Steal? The rule is place for a reason. Spoken like a true fanboy!

Steal? By playing by the rules?

Could have been “ Sandbagger still needs to use equipment that other people can’t get”!

Then why didn't they hand over the bike???

@@littlecaldwell2487 I wouldn't want to hand anyone my 20k motor, 10k suspension, 5k ecu, 2k wheels, do I need to go on? Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's cheap, and secrets to success and horsepower are intended to stay as secrets

@@littlecaldwell2487 because Yamaha could have had some not ready for production components they were testing. It is a mod class, right?

@@ctsugusergroup1397 True, but those are components the average kid doesn't have access to. That's why the rule is there.

@@littlecaldwell2487 BUT, thats not the average kid class, its a mod class. if youre are an average kid, get in the 250C or limited

Too many bro media outlets who are afraid to report the truth. How many podcasts are sponsored by Yamaha? I was talking to them, but guessing I shot that in the foot😂

5ere is more out there if you look past your nose. This story broke over 24 hours ago.

@@CookseyMedia this was far from the truth

@@CookseyMedia do you have proof that the truth is Yamaha cheated?

No...he has squat. If I was Brian Deegan I would look into a slander lawsuit. Cookies practically accused them of cheating in this vlog. You can't defame people like that, even if it's true which it's not. He is lucky Brian hates drama, which is pro any why he reacted the way he did. Plus that's his son to. I would have went off myself if I was him.

I think its a bs reaction to wsx. Id rather watch wsx that more feld/mxsports bullshit.

I bet you were bullied lol

I could have sworn that there was some anti-bullying clause in the claim field too. Like, if someone conspires to prevent a claim, it's the same as having refused to yield to the claim.

@@therawlifefamily people need to stop being so weak and cry about everything

@@fjbfuckjoebiden8548 I bet I wasn't, but you are welcome to come try. :)

@@therawlifefamily There is, if you try and claim the bike to give it back to the owner or similar your at risk of being banned as well

ok but it is still the ruie !!!!!!!!

@@trentweeks1071 cooksey media just using the deegans for clicks and views for his channel, hes making things up.... so heres the response of brian about the bike claim ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AaV-XNzuqEI.html

100%

100% he's pathetic and just trying to make money on deegans name.

100%

That’s the point. They dont want amateurs running A kit or works suspension. The whole point of the rule is to deter teams from building overly expensive bikes. It’s a good rule.

The rule is there so people don’t spend that much on the bike.

@@S0RELOSER every kid in the Mod class has A kit, engine mods, ecu mods, etc… so any bike would be a bargain at 17K brand new.

Haha this is a bs and he's trying to make money on deegans name. He's a joke and he's not bringing light to the dark side.

@@fjbfuckjoebiden8548 exactly! Ktm, Kawasaki husky all those kids are running factory bikes well over double msrp but putting haiden in the thumbnail will get more clicks!!

@@fjbfuckjoebiden8548 It's NOT BS for sure, I saw the whole thing go down when I was there. Were you there, or are you someone working for Yamaha/Deegan trying to clean this mess up??? I think this guy is doing a great job bringing the reality of the sport to light. Things like this should not happen. It needs to be an even playing field no matter who you are or how much money you have. Situations like this deter people from the sport once they figure out it's impossible to win against the factory boys. Totally bad for the sport we all have grown to love. I am sure of one thing, I will never own a Yamaha or give them an ounce of my money or sympathy.

I'm sure your boyfriend agrees with you. Just because someone says something doesn't make it true.

not sure what sport you're watching..... but MX is not losing fans!!

@@adamriggs6337 The MAV+ debacle is not the way to treat fans. Still waiting for my refund. There's a very good chance I will not be going to my local national this year as I do not support those that 💩 on me

dude what planet are you on..? Moto GP is ripping... they are getting 60 thou fans at a race post CV19.... MX this year the outdoors is the closest / most epic battle for the title in years.... Plenty action... Plenty fans

He's petty and jealous him and his family planned this way before the race

They didn't do it this year. Wonder why?

@@littlecaldwell2487 because you know absolutely nothing and you keep proving it

@@littlecaldwell2487 Not really sure but this situation at Loretta Lynn’s with Deegan was a bit ugly. The claiming rule needs to be cleaned up a bit after this incident and MX Sports needs to be called out for their actions involved.

Yes

how would he be making money paying $17,500?

So are you saying anytime some up and coming talent that possibly could be the next real deal, just go ahead and claim his bike and make some profit. Haiden wasn't even in the hunt for the Championship in that class because of the dnf and he wasn't in the 450B class so the motive for the claim is very suspicious in my mind.

@@bradypross5423 if the stock bike he's riding cost $8500 and he sells it for $17.500 he just doubled his money. Smh wouldn't you think.

@@bradypross5423 Someone could believe it's ''Special'' or just want it because it WAS Deegan's bike...Or, the Kid really believes it had works parts and would be worth Bucks to another Team. If it was pretty much Stock, then Deegan would be making good money. That's the ''Spirit'' of the Rule.

His suspension is definitely not stock
