[@Johnny_Hopper]

@@jacereif2783thank you Jace

[@russellbraeuer2512]

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.

[@johnbshawnego1862]

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

[@yukonjon5964]

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."

[@joefoster259]

I left because to the RC trash talking and the other crap yall said. Cooksey just isn’t my kinda guy.

[@jpesicka999]

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.

[@goinhot9133]

Yep! I thought the same thing too..

[@dl11c]

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.

[@sauce1232]

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 😂

[@tk2stroke]

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.

[@elementtuning]

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.

[@1176hambone]

I ditched Cooksey too, a while back. He's a whip

[@DesertRatMX]

Your explanation is perfect. I'd like to see a summary of the other agreements if I really wanted to better understand this. 11 MX events now that're making it, so why can't Glen Helen make it happen.

[@mirraco323]

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.

[@mikemilani3991]

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!

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.

As a local who rides GH almost every weekend, I would say they don't need a National. The place is booked every weekend they rarely have open practice Sat/Sun, on a given weekend they can have 4 different events going on at the same time, and on Tuesday and Thursday if you were there you would think it was the weekend there's so many riders for open practice. Now through in the Vet National and the 2 Stroke National which are huge events they just don't to bend over backwards to have a National.

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.

[@klarkie5150]

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.

One of the many things I appreciate about you Johnny is your positivity in general and specifically with regard to others. In contrast, in every opener of Cooksey's podcast is the clip with Al Pacino. I have no idea how that is relevant to our sport, and it seems more reflection of Cooksey trying to be some sort of bad ass. Add to that, the amount of time he spends talking about his sponsors and his political views that also seemed represent that of an angry person, I know longer watch his podcast. There's absolutely no doubt that he's a very knowledgeable person with respect to racing, but there's a lot more to communicating successfully to others than merely industry knowledge.

@ Johnny Hooper, you have some good point… the biggest problem I had with the gypsy tails interview with combs was that Davey made it sound like it was all bud and you gotta think that all the stuff that Cooke he added up which was around $200,000 upfront made it so that Bud would not even really break even. My thought was gypsy tails needs to have Bud on there, so that Bud can tell his side of the story. I just don’t like it that Davey paints, Bud as the bad guy.

I considered several times sending you a private message to point out concerns I had in the lead up and the obvious dynamic it was creating on MX Unfiltered. I think you made the right decision Johnny and this matter of Glen Helen is spot on. If they don’t find a solution it is as simple as that. Instead of squabbling about who did what and was right/wrong when and who is a waste of time. We all want it back but need to move on.

While agreeing on some issues, I cannot wholeheartedly agree that professional motocross/supercross racing is purely a capitalistic venture. Capitalism or free market, as many confuse the two. Oddly enough, it sounds more like a monopoly is being described, especially when there is mention of only one new competitor who may 'get trampled'. Change can be good, or bad. Has safety changed that much? Are riders still racing on tracks with insufficient lighting? Are wooden and metal stakes still lining the tracks. Wasn't there a rider who took one of those through the torso? As much as I dislike unions, sadly, it may take something like that to bring about meaningful change in the sport.

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

Agree Cooksey is completely negative he thinks he knows it all. I am all about speaking life. 🙏
