Haiden Deegan's Year, How Do You Rate It? Lots Of Good, Some Bad?

[@Zulululu4x]

Great video on Deegan. He made Racing so good this year!

[@johnthompson5302]

Haiden put all the pressure on ALL the 250 riders. He was in the head of every rider, every race, and his shit-talking got the best of all of them too. He outsmarted and outrode the whole class, and there’s no one that isn’t intimidated by him.

[@SouthernUtahMx]

Spot on!

[@Zulululu4x]

This. I absolutely Loved this about him! He made racing so good with it all. He also turned hundreds of haters into fans. Hats off to him in a way

[@timcross6380]

Yes Bob Hannhah did the same thing

[@billybalentine8065]

I’m telling you, the reason Deegan doesn’t get that hurt when crashes is because he’s rode BMX since he was a child. He’s perfected aerial awareness. This kid will be a legend. I said it before his first race his rookie year. I’m glad Deegan proved all the haters wrong.

[@Ranger_Dog311]

lmao riding a bmx has nothing to do with it ,he's been real lucky not to get badly hurt ,only a matter of time though

[@Marleysdad808]

@@Ranger_Dog311 Tell McGrath that BMX has nothing to do with MX. 😉

[@nc8013]

I disagree, if you have skated or rode bmx you know how to rollout of falls & minimize how bad it could've been.

[@boydcurry317]

Deegans bike is so much faster ,he trains so much more ,u can't compare pull up times ,them old racers are old models,there athletes now

[@MathewVsSportsMediaandGames]

Deegan certainly surprised a lot of guys on the track, and even bench racers like me and you, Cooksey. I have to admit that nothing seemed to faze him, but I also think he could've had a lot more 1-1 sweeps if he just kept it upright in Motocross. Hearing Deegan had the wrist injury gives much more validity to why he skipped the MXDN. While I don't disagree with those who say "We'd have won if Haiden Deegan went," I still think we sent a team with a legitimate shot at the gold medal, but it just didn't work out. Good stuff as usual, Cooksey!

[@byshopwilliams8256]

I'm on the fence about whether or not we would've "won" mxon Kai De Wulf is a dog but I think getting that wrist injury taken care of was a good call. Kids going to bring it in supercross next year no matter what coast he races on.

[@BlakeS21R6]

Enjoyed this format cooksey. Keep em coming this offseason, maybe even go a bit more in depth when possible. Keep up the good work.

[@scottdries1106]

I was a bigtime Deegan fan. 2 years turning down MXof Nations convinced me. He’s all about the money, he waves the flag as part of his character he plays. Great rider though. Can’t help it I’m an America fan. Thanks Cooper Webb , now that’s a great American😎🇺🇸

[@powersportsenthusiast1986]

haiden went 1-2 at hangtown. cool video. i say yes, do more of them

[@_LAND_OF_THE_FREE_]

I think he did great. The only thing i'm disappointed about is him not doing moto of nations. We could have won. Tomac tried his hardest man and i'm pretty sure that was his last race, so he really wanted to win it.

[@rickyism1576]

250 was the premier class in 2023 because of Deegan. He had that class handled by a large margin now in 24. I hope he races outdoors on a 450 next year.

[@therealjd1503]

Stay safe Chris, you can’t be the bad guy if you’re not around.

[@baby-sharkgto4902]

I really like this format

[@TroyPokoj]

The difference between deegs in 2023 and 2024 was amazing. He was always fast but you can tell his technique has improved greatly and his "Racecraft" is next generation.... I'll give him a 9 out of ten because there is allways room for improvement. I think if he wins the 250SX he will move to 450 for outdoors. reason being he needs a challenge.....JMO Troy

[@doglover136_]

cant wait to see how he improves next year also

[@maxracingteam23]

What can I say DEEGAN is a beast

[@JimGoose-hl4cx]

Epic year from haiden considering the injury. Just remmember still waters are often deep . Theres people behind the coombes . Same people are behind the manufacturers

[@jamesadams2334]

Haiden has had a great year!

[@TarRawls]

Again, amigo, sorry for my part in the whole problems i caused. In hindsight, it did help expose the real bad guys. I applaud you for getting away from pulling their pants down & moving on. I'm having to back track some of my opinions concerning Deegan, he is showing the possibilities of being one of the greats. With his riding style, injuries are always a possibility compared to some of the others. Still, he so reminds me of The Hurricane,,, Bob Hanna. Sure hope he's available for the next MXdeN.

[@CookseyMedia]

No need for an apology, you were just kidding, it did get them to show their true colors. I too have changed my opinion of the Deegans.

[@TarRawls]

@@CookseyMediaI'm here if you ever need a hand.

[@jeremypfau]

Seen Haiden a few hours ago, well I seen the new Audi heading towards his house on the sandy road. I waved and he waived back. But the windows were tinted now Toldgee

[@davidbiagi2932]

I think he should def wait to go 450 til outdoors. He’s definitely better outdoors. Defend his sx title in 26 (if he wins it) race a few 450 rounds when his coast is off and then full 450 outdoors.

[@helpthepeopleout968]

People didn’t crash into him so much he would’ve won the Supercross championship when he gets on the 450s he’s going to tear jet a new ass

[@toxic_munchkin8307]

suits and greed taking over all sports . soon will be a subscription for each track or even each race. but half the problem is the sheep ,the people who dont question it and go ahead . more people need to stand up for sports . as sports are for the people , not the suits to profit from us

Prices were different for A1 and A2. A1 was a Couple bucks more than A2. Treadhead seats used to be 10 bucks now there $77. Parking last year was 40 bucks. Is almost time to stay home and just watch on peacock.

[@doglover136_]

parking the year before at a1 was $25, this year it was $50 i think

[@brucewygal133]

Be careful Cooksey. Remember what happened to Micky Thompson. When there is that much money on the line people do crazy things.

[@scottyboy7462]

I think i'm gonna get the arenacross package for 30 bucks. i can't go all winter without moto. Maybe do some weekly recaps on that series too. just a suggestion

[@stkyfngrszmooth]

If there's one thing I hate about today's crop of kids, it's how they discard their bikes at the finish line like they're pieces of garbage. If I were their team/factory and one of my riders just flinged the bike, we worked so hard on onto the ground like that, I'd definitely have a word with them afterward.

[@alexsimpson4346]

I’d rather a ghost ride over chase blaming the team and the bike every time he doesn’t win

[@jeremy_beckers]

I’m sure they would be shaking in their boots scared of you. These teams/mechanics do not care. If my rider won a championship I would encourage them to celebrate however. Calm down Boomer.

Good to see the turnaround youve had on haiden since he went pro. And even moreso Brian. I know you are not a Brian deegan fan (or were not). It takes some integrity to admit where you have been wrong and change an opinion when new facts are presented.

Cookseys gettin hounded by the AMA's goons (the fbi)

[@ThorneyGryffon]

Haiden has about an 8 out of 10. SX his injury held him back, but he still took wins and lost by only 4 points. On Moto he was undefeated for the first 4 races? Then he started showing a little weakness, and after a couple falls, I believe his wrist wasnhirtung and rhats why he went hard on the shit talking. But he kept earning points even on his worst days. Then he picked it back up and fought to the title. Tjen I think he rested ans got his body rested for SMX and just decimated everyone!

[@hammerdown9]

Danger Boy had a 10/10 season. Kid is a stud.

[@chewyb383]

Kid's good! I was not a fan at first. When I saw they put God first and saw his work ethic...I'm a fan. Jet's comments coming off of Eli's injury saying he's not so "beast" was a huge mistake. I'm rooting for Haiden to take over.

[@richardcarvalho4134]

I would say 7/10. If it weren't for the wrist injury before sx, he likely would've won the title. He really came back with a vengeance for the outdoors. I think he will be pretty dominant for 2025 as long as he stays healthy.

[@billybalentine8065]

@@richardcarvalho41347/10? You have to give him at least an 8. He got second in supercross, won an outdoor championship and won another SMX championship easy.
