Dean has always been, and will always be a fan favourite and although he has announce that he is going to be doing Supercross only going forwards, Dean Wilson still has so much more to offer the motocross community.

Anyone that thinks being a "top 10 guy" isnt one hell of an achievement has shit for brains. 90% of dirt bike fans would struggle to even ride a lap of a Supercross track, let a lone qualify into an LCQ. This guy is a class act and seems to have his head on straight. Realizing the entertainment aspect of this "sport" and positioning himself to capitalize on his natural personality demonstrates just how smart he is. Well done Deano. You deserve everything you've achieved.

[@Recedinghairline180]

90%? More like 99.9%.

[@jameswarren2894]

Exactly!!! People really underestimate some of these guys.

[@alondite215]

Fuck dude, even just _qualifying_ for a pro event is huge and makes you better than like 99.9% of all riders.

[@Hardfacts1]

He’s more like top 20

[@sidekick6.6.6]

We not pros they are.....if yr shit at yr job you get the sack no big deal it's life....I bet he can't do a good hard days work no big thing

[@edwardvanwormer6993]

I watched the full episode, and still rewatch these segments. I love Deanos attitude and how he expresses himself. Good stuff!

[@evo5349]

Dean has the right idea. He has a big following and his fan base is deep. Have fun with it and the backers can see and in a competitive race series they can't all win.

[@therealjd1503]

It’s hard not to root for Deano. Much love!!

[@lifeonwoodsbay789]

What sells this and makes people love you more is the realness in your voice and the way your talking about things. Makes you way more relatable and loved.. can't wait to see you ripping the Honda

[@danield7263]

Don't you dare retire! You're the man I didn't even like you growing up and now that I've gotten to see who you are actually. You're a good human being, you're fast as hell on a bike, when my kids love watching you smoke the competition. Also dirt bike and Grandpa was the best

[@bunnyman6321]

Interesting!

[@douglassloan6831]

Top ten in a US SX race is astounding. People take it for granted that this means of all the riders all over the world, you're better on that day that all but 10 of them. That's something to be proud of. Thanks for this interview. The transparency was pure gold.

[@freebird1292]

Dean sells himself a little short in my opinion, With a little good luck I think he could get a podium hear and there still.

[@christopherlapointedufour7607]

Totally agree, he'd need a bit of agression to be on top but he def. had the speed. Before the hip accident in 2019 dude was fast as hell.

[@freebird1292]

Yes he was.

[@SOLDOZER]

He would need the top 5 guys to all crash.

[@BlueTransAm83]

Agree, I saw him kick a** in Daytona like 8 years ago? RV might have won, forget :/ But Dean was fast. 7th I think. But I was down there for practice thinking, who is this guy? Hell be a factor, watch. And he was.

[@tesstickles4190]

Deanos definitely a center piece of the sport. Wish more had a similiar energy, vibe

[@that188guy]

Dean Wilson is so sick, what a guy !

[@cmx2143]

DW15 is so good for our sport.

[@williamengland9200]

Dean has my respect on and off the track.

[@thomaskimparker809]

LOVE THE WAY HE SAYS " KEWL"..LOL. SOUNDS LIKE CARTMAN ON SOUTH PARK.. LOVE DW15.. I FEEL HIM GETTIN ON THE STEPS THIS YEAR..

[@bunnyman6321]

😂😂😂

[@kevinp2656]

Dean has a great outlook on things

[@soxh8ter]

Deano is the man, absolutely love that dude!

[@KingFriday274]

We got a fever, ad the only prescription is more Barcia.

[@Last-Lap-Lando4]

I was just going to mention Barcia

[@warhorse1943]

Deano. Is awesome. I love this guy. He’s always a good time.

[@southeastAF]

Big dean energy

[@Xeil]

Dean bar none has been my favorite rider. Always bummed he would crash our but I thought he had that old 90s Supercross/motocross vibes. Definitely is a podium rider when he can keep the tires up, haha.

[@catsmasher83]

For me it's just like combat sports, I like styles more than who the champ is. That's why I love love that JA is back on one.

[@jaretevans120]

I really liked this conversation! I'm a big fan of both you and Dean.

[@romorrealoldmenoffroading163]

Dean is the MAN! Love this guy! Knows who he is and doesn't give a $#!+ what you think.

[@MXRiderFiftyTwo]

Less than 1% of rider's will make it. I reckon 90's motorcross was a better vibe, than today's Motorcross

[@bunnyman6321]

Facts

[@flyfishincrazy]

Roczen talked shit on you bud. We haven’t forgotten!😮

[@bunnyman6321]

😀😀😀

[@matwest711]

I agree. That’s why barcia is good for the sport. He brings a lot of drama. Yeah for fans that understand the sport it sucks when he takes dudes out. That’s not good racing. But I really think the drama is good.

[@cahill-72]

Love this guy.

[@CA_88]

Supercross is weird in the sense that there hardly ever shown on tv, but it’s so corporate it doesn’t make sense. Gotta love DBK and Raha and Bereman Personalities right there

[@photobeef]

Love this. There is so much more to a sport than the winner

[@shaynebrown131]

Deano has to be one of the best people in the sport

[@125kingo125]

Legend Deano

[@justlucky8254]

Apparently we've been saying "races" wrong the whole time. According to Deano, it's "racees".🤣

[@bunnyman6321]

😂😂

[@SuperJRocket13]

Perfect example was Tomac after winning MXON, he was just absolutely living!

[@FalseHope61]

Fuckkk I didn’t realize Dean was still making that much money. Get it as long as you can deano

[@Steezy_Mx]

Deans finally grown up and has matured and all of the sudden he’s a cool dude. I’ve always looked at Dean like a Square, dork, etc… never once did I look at dean any other way.

[@jicakejijicakeji7278]

His grandpa vid is GREAT!

[@donbrashsux]

Go Deano .. say it how it F@&kin is

[@bkh.8853]

Lets go Deano

[@scottharrison8861]

100% agree with there conversation. There needs to be more emphasis on the rest of the top 10 to 15 riders for fuck sake there the best in the world and would flog any rider in a state event or most other countries. This comes back to the commentators and tv coverage as well there the front line of this and they need to make the effort to show more of those guys well. And the more guys in the line light the more they will start to show there real self so the do stand out a bit. 👍

[@ricksmith7659]

There's too many kids involved in dirtbikes for the sport to not be PG-13. The AMA are doing that correctly.

[@myname5420]

A great contrast is Ken Block and Barcia, Ken is an amazing driver and is painfully bad talking on camera XD Barcia lives for the cam

[@terryfonz4603]

Wow amazing you have to say things like wish there were more characters in this sport! Lmao! In the 70s -90s it was all characters! 😂

[@C-24-Brandan]

UFC and Motocross/SuperCross are very different sports especially when it comes to shit talking and what's said/done leading up to the fight. But do agree with him that the sport needs some better personalities, be more mainstream & shown on TV like other professional sports are & also advertised better so more people get interested in and actually watch each race. It'd be cool to see some diff races, track set ups & locations.. none will probably happen lol but it'd be awesome if it did for the sport, race teams, riders, sponsors & the fans.

[@stephenbrown3760]

There can only be one winner, if you’re not that guy, then you need to sell yourself, people relate to authenticity, be yourself and be honest just be interesting

[@skigod9]

i thought he said squeers... lol i was like what i can believe he said that and i think i know what it means but im not sure

[@bunnyman6321]

😂😂😂

[@dadlifetrading]

Tyler evens use to throw fake money in the crowds when he made the mains lol that was great times

[@MARCHOFTHESAS]

I can’t imagine rockstar and monster being controlling of how the riders show their emotions. It’s gotta be the “conservative” manufacturers

[@johnwilkes8847]

I wanna know how AC9 still has a ride with FK. At least deano shows up to most the races.

[@SOLDOZER]

Cause when he's not in the hospital he's a top 3 guy.

[@lukekelly5115]

@@SOLDOZER whens the last time he raced and got top 3? I.literally can't remember. Feel bad for the guy but sheesh.

[@SOLDOZER]

You clearly forgot Dean being out with knee injuries forever and nobody would give him a ride and he was going to show up at A1 with a stock Yamaha in the back of his pickup truck.

[@SOLDOZER]

@@lukekelly5115 May not have finished top 3 but was running top 3 but faded cause his injuries. A healthy AC who dont wad himself is top 3 guy. Or was...not sure about now.

[@johnbl519]

Who are we listening to here?? Dean or matey

[@avzeolla3960]

Dungey and Villopoto had zero personality when they were racing. It was so boring to watch their same old answers to the same questions. Anderson shows some personality, Roczen did, and deano always has been a great personality. I’m not cutting on dunge and villo, they are 2 of the best ever. I agree the sport could use some more personalities. Lol

[@gleanerman2195]

Lets bring back Hannah, he would tell it like it is and then some. I get sick of these robots on the podium.

[@motoxbuddy]

wore suzuki top to some award night when he was Yamahas top rider!

[@onlygazza]

McGrath, Hannah, Ricky Johnson were alpha males with so much confidence that is was brill to watch, when they lost people were cheering, when they won they were cheering, it’s the hustler in the pool hall syndrome, most people want to watch them lose, but they mostly win and the ones watching are just amazed at the skill !

[@craighills2382]

Well said you named the correct riders Mc was on his own basically, RJ was my favourite but watching Hanna when I was younger his style was so wondefull to watch growing up

[@bunnyman6321]

What's the hustler in the pool hall syndrome?

[@onlygazza]

@@bunnyman6321 it’s the guy everyone wants to lose and for some reason they can’t resist trying to beat them and put their money down on the table, then they get a beating on the table and just realise the guy was a brilliant and they have been had !

[@bunnyman6321]

@@onlygazza Interesting! Thanks for explaining; I never heard that before.

[@MARCHOFTHESAS]

Keep that e energy with coombs lol he replies on vital ffs

[@kgsxr7s085]

Not in a negative way but yeah need to fill the grid gotta have at least 20guys not just top three and they cant all be winners. And yeah id like 1/2 a millon to do what i love

[@BgRdDg40]

Winner may sale bikes, but personalities sale Merch

[@BlueTransAm83]

Helmets off pre race. Even simple stuff. See the characters.

[@Fatonzzz]

Imagine retiring from your job because you're only the 10th(ish) best in the world at it.

[@glennwr450]

Grandpa Earl funniest shit in mx

[@neilrowe119]

Barcia😉🤔

[@hung8969]

Met Anderson at Arlington. Had a team fried shirt/beanie on. I smelt like a grow house and was hammered. He talked to me like a bro. Someone at the track. He sensed I was “one of em” someone who ain’t gonna snitch. Take a video, expose him. It was a friendly convo about bud, the races and Tommy lol. Opened my eyes to how closed off he is I’m the media. He looks so stiff on tv.

[@bunnyman6321]

😂😂😂

[@yz250fpegged]

Most of the guys have an F1 kinda personality. Not all that average people kinda guys friendly cuz you know they F1 lol

[@jacobshred67]

i mean he’s on australian factory honda good anough

[@sargil100]

[@maxblack2113]

All the individual characters are gone and the same in the sport of surfing. Professionalism has killed the characters and created boring corporate robots.bring back the characters in motocross and surfing

I who the hell is Dean Wilson?…

Jeez swearing is a bit 14yr old eh ..cringe

How so?

being pc has killed sports just look at nascar so stale but dirt racing is wild

What's pc?

IF WE ALLOW PERSONALITIES TO GET OUT OF CONTROL IN MX RACING IT WILL TURN INTO WWF CHAOS.

He don't want to talk shit who cares he's lucky he's in top 10. Class C no class wantabe.
