Haiden’s First Top 10 Pro Motocross Finish! | The Deegans

We made it to the last pro motocross national of the year at Pala Fox Raceway! Back to our old home turf and our local track Haiden grew up riding. We came here to gauge where Haiden is at in the pro ranks to better prepare him for next years racing and we left knowing just that. Stoked Haiden brought home a top 10 finish! Time to take some time off and get back to work.

Deeg is still a cool dude,and great dad…never beats his kid down and doesn’t over boast them either.he gives them confidence and tells them what they need.god bless y’all,fellas.keep it pinned lil deeg

[@Johnny2Gats]

Brian is a very humble dude. Can see it in the kids as well 🙏

[@katelyntuohyfans]

such a great dad! his kids are one proof of how good of a dad he is! all his kids are hard-working! great character, mentality and all are humble! also everyone has humor!!!

[@katelyntuohyfans]

the deegans are one of the most loyal people out there, one thing to point out is their filming crew!!! they have been with the same filming crew for almost 10 years now, their filmers are basically family to them, that speaks to their character and how they treat the people around them, they respect people and are very humble people!

Knew that boy was headed to the top you all got my love and respect from good East Tennessee. Pin it to win it boys! God bless

[@tfertz2712]

Yes....for sure that student driver butt patch was a nice touch. Being humble while in a position that many may be arogant or cocky. Deegan parents ya'all rock. Raising up kids with good manners who are respectful in this day and age is not an easy thing to do. I have 4 sons and am proud of them all and the men that they've become. My 3 youngest raced amateur mx for 7 years. Starting on a 2002 KX 65 and knowing nothing about how to ride let alone race. Then 85's Zuk n Yam and eventually 125's Zuk n Yam. I turned wrenches and kept up bikes best I could for all 3. Learning as we raced and always being humble my sons made me soooo proud. I washed the bikes after every moto so they'd have a clean (light as possible) bike that'd hopefully get them a good start . I was the team cook , and also had the job of driving them to all those weekend races and practices. We met some great people and made some of the best friends in those 7 years. I never had a mini bike or dirt bike ever so everything my kids learned they learned by themselves out on the track. Between my sons and I we've racked up 36 broken bones. I don't miss those trips to the e.r. at all. And I wished we never would have had to make any of those hospital visits. But its a real danger and part of an extremely physically demanding and dangerous sport. My kids each brought home at least one race season points championship trophy and one of them worked very hard and got 2. An 85cc season championship and a 125cc season championship. And I gotta tell ya Brian D. The better they got, the faster they went and the harder it became for me to watch them. Pushing their riding abililities to the limit and many times pushing too hard. I dont regret any of those years that my boys were racing and doing what they loved doing. I wish I'd have had the $ to keep them going and moved to the pro level but a divorced construction worker paying child support and being the sole sponser of our adventures as Effertz Racing I just couldnt make that happen for them. Congrats to the Deagons on their success so far and y'all are good peeps man. God bless and keep you safe. I wish you the best of luck in all you do. Those Deagon kids have a lot of talent and I can see them having a solid place amonst the fastest racers in the nation. Thankyou for putting yourselves on youtube for us to enjoy. I absolutely ❤️ it.

[@Carpfishing4400]

A big congratulations to Haiden and the family. I've followed the channel since he was back on 50/65s and to see the progression he's made and the work he's put in. He definitely deserves to be in the position he is now with the Star Factory Team. The technique is near perfect and the things he's able to do on a bike is very impressive for his age. Wish him all the luck for next season, whatever lies ahead and for the future

The young man is kicking ass . His age and experience plus his limited use of the big bike it's absolutely amazing that he is as far as he is at this point. It is just amazing to watch him grow so quickly you had a big hand in that Brian throughout his entire life. Seems weird used to be a big metal militia follower and now I am watching your son cover up your footsteps, nothing can be taken away from his performance at that race. Little man Huck is looking pretty sharp too he's growing up and seems to be pushing harder grasping more. Just awesome family enjoy the channel maybe we'll catch you at the lake one day

[@robertcox7220]

I agree Brian he did a hell of a job. Top 10th is awesome a year ago he was on a super mini so yeah that is awesome. Give him a year or so top 5 to podium. Congratulations Haiden Deegan (38) on your pro race 🏁. Can't wait to see you get on the podium. 💯🤘😎

Yes Brian I think for his age he's a bit ahead of many of them. He's doing great and his speed has improved 10 fold from a year ago. This time next yr he will be even better. That's going to happen with age and experience and he's going to ge bigger and stronger so all that and his yrs of experience and the way he takes what his coaches and you tell him and does it on the track. Hes right where he should be and even a bit above actually so just jeep digging & learning Haiden and keep your eyes on the older pros that's where your going to learn little tricks they use to be faster and quicker in certain situations. It's all going to work out fine with time no doubt. So exciting and fun watching you out there with the older pros learning. Hang there buddy the best yet to come. Thanks Brian 👍

[@helpthepeopleout968]

I’m so happy for you guys I had a great time with my son watching you guys I proud of you and your wife for raising great kids Haiden looked amazing for the short time he’s been on a 250 especially in that terrible heat my son and I was sitting right where he passed Rider D And Chance Hymose that was the pivotal moment for Haiden in his career I’m glad that my son and I got to be there for that moment So you guys must really be happy thanks for all of the awesome content.

[@1kontrabida]

WOW! If we're looking for a blueprint for success in any sport, the Deegans are one of the few that embodies this commitment and trailbralzing to the unknown and opening yourself to the world is a feat already on its own imho. The prep and analysis from Deeg , the one on one talk from mom and she always kills that doubt from the kids which i really admire from both parents, the mindset of the deegan crew and un relentless push from the yamaha team is something to be admired and watched closely because the grind and sacrifices are real which this is rarely seen. Amazing!

I’ve been around this sport and have been riding for over 40 years. Haiden will be a champion in the pro ranks. Sexton was on a cobra at Loretta’s in 2010. Cooper Webb was battling Cianciarulo in the 85 class. Jason Anderson was winning that year also. I picked all these kids to be winners in a pro class one day. Haiden I like your humble attitude. I don’t get any arrogance from you at all. I like your style. I raced with Nathan Ramsey back in the day. You remind me of him. He was the kid to beat. Haiden , you will win a super Cross and or a motor cross in the next 2 years. In 5 years you’ll probably be breaking some old guys records. You are twice the rider your dad ever was. No offense dad. You laid the foundation for the Deegans. But the Lord blesses us beyond measure. And the kid has a God given talent. All good things come from above. Like watching the kid ride. Luke 9:62
