I believe this race is just what he needed. Humbled/Motivation.

[@profutzer]

I dont think he needed to be humbled..maybe. But I do think this was a perfect example of how a lot of attention can put pressure on you, but when you dont have as many eyes on you (and have skill as well) you can remain calm and take a easy W like Dax did. I do think the pressure got to him..but hell be fine,

[@carisi2k11]

A simple error with the front swapping while trying to pass someone after a Dylan Ferrandis type start. It's not humbling but it is a lesson which he will learn from. I don't think pressure has anything to do with it. It was just one of those weekends that didn't go perfectly for him. What really caught my eye was how fast these top kids on amatuer bikes were compared to most of the 250 west guys. The top 6 riders from futures would all have qualified for the main easily with there amatuer bikes. Heck with the east being completely depleted they could all start next weeks first east round and podium.

[@woodysrockspyro6436]

I like how they brought a practice bike and threw on old plastics. :) don't want that to shine too much or someone might claim it. Keeping an engine under him is probably no easy task.

Love seeing the bike in that condition, it's been Rode hard ! It's dirty, graphics are peeling , just cool to see that

I always thought Haiden was just another talented youngster until I watched that Deegan documentary . I never knew he was a prodigy who has blown the doors off his competition from the age of 7 . He's unreal .

[@singletracktrekker4033]

You need to take that down a notch, if you want to see a REAL prodigy that came from nothing poverty go look up James Stewart. Dangleboy is good but he’s no Bubba

[@E63s_Scott]

Yes I’m a fan of danger boy and huge star fan, but that whole claim the bike thing, that poor lad who took all that heat for fuck all & was left in train wreck state, has left a really sour taste in my mouth one I can’t get rid of. Injustices make my blood boil like not much else. Saying it’s a full GYTR bike in everyone of these vids everyone knows full well it was a factor motor minimum with parts the team should not have been running who knows what else, total hypocrites

[@underthetrees4780]

They were definitely hiding something, but it might not even be parts, could be as simple as an ECU setting.

[@hannesdobbelaere]

minus 10 on the pegs, is that 10mm to the rear, or 10mm down from stock?

[@TheLach111]

Assuming by his hand movements he means footpeg offset is -10mm back, not down 10mm?

[@drkaymotorsports]

Putting this comment down for future reference. There's a big difference between prepuberty talent, and post puberty talent. Forkner destroyed Sexton in the amateurs, and now look what happened. I am calling that this Deegan boy is going to flop in the pros.

Claim rule. Claim the bike and be threatened until you drop the claim. Not a good look 🖕🏼

[@ryancuda45]

super stoked to hear he was closing in on a futures podium. id say that he just got his supercross card. anyone got his best lap time by chance ? compare it to the fastest 250 riders ? how far off pace was he

[@Zer-re4mu]

"You can take this thing" 3:10 but not the other bike that was claimed? This is proof Yamaha influenced the bike not being claimed

We want to see the winner's bike. Not this 5th place kid who always wads himself up when he's faced with an ounce of competition. The only time he wins is when he's racing a gate of 12 year olds who let him blow by. Let's see a WINNER biker.

Everyone knows a certain someone was using illegal engines during Mini-O's. Period! Otherwise CarrotTeethonBleach wouldn't have done what he did to an innocent child. Now you stack the Wonderboy up against the others...It shows. For CarrotTop to immediately call out a false neutral before even speaking to the "prodigy" is what he does...excuses. WonderDog tried to take a rider out & he failed. Period. Do they drug test at this point? They should cuz someone looks like they're on the bite!
