HAIDEN DEEGAN WINS SOUTHWICK DEBUT BY A MILE

DANGERBOY SURFS THE SAND AT THE WIC LIKE A PRO AND WINS

[@Shreddylife]

Straight rippin! I love watching this young man, hes so natural on the bike and works so hard at it. Nothing but respect, you can tell he really loves riding

[@Youhaverights6]

I loved watching and listening to you watch Hayden live and Southwick. I loved your natural commentary. Thanks for being there Kaplan.

[@donnieburger3721]

believe the hype this kid is coming for everything

[@ibelieve96]

@chazmichaelmichaels he just turned 16 . Doesn’t even have his man strength yet. Jet is good but will probably be in 450s by the time he debutes in pro 250s.

[@donnieburger3721]

@chazmichaelmichaels jet is way overhyped falls like every race plus he races the weak east coast and to top it off they probably will only race each other 2 to 3 years when deegan gets to the 450 class

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Your post makes me sad because I used to buy brand new MX bikes before the 1986 production rule, (that tripled the cost of a bike in 5 years), making $1.00 part time at my Dad's store. You did not have to be rich to ride and race. This is what we get for letting the FIM and the EPA tell us what to make and buy. Out of reach costs for the consumers, and opportunity lost.

An old friend was a pirelli tire dealer. They rented the track for the day for an appreciation day. They gave him new knobbies and I got to go on track with a quad and a 125. It was brutal would be an understatement.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Only because you could not find the good flow. It took me a long time to find good flow in sand whoops, (and these are not that big, but the track is fast of course, like they all are today), but once I got it,--they became easy. I never experienced really being part of the machine, until I mastered sand whoops. When you get to that point, it feels like you can push it as hard as you want.

[@chrisperry9002]

@@EarthSurferUSA I got to go with a friend because he was a Pirelli dealer. They rented the track for the day for their licensed dealers. Gave them all free knobbies front and rear. I was in my mid to late 40's and out of shape. I found out it was a long, difficult ride just to do one lap. I finished looking like a wash rag that was wrung out by Hercules. Was no hero that day but had a blast. Still have the event t shirt too.
