[@lifeisgood3589]

I'm gonna say it. He may not win as much as him but dam does he remind me of a young RC. Same size and build. Better fitness then all of his competition. Rides the bike on that controllable edge and his want to, grit and will to win. RC just wanted it more and refused to lose. That is how Haiden is turning out. He just wants it more then anyone else and he believes in himself and his program

[@tankeater]

Bro... I honestly thought RC4 was 5'4" LMFFFAAAOOO. I'm 6'2" and RC was tiny compared to me! But you're 💯% correct bro! 👍💪🤘

[@spoolyz0296]

This style of conversation is more fitting for Ricky, I hope he is able to stick around and provide us with content for as long as we can get it.

At this point the whole world is just waiting for 2026. Deegan vs Lawrence Bros 🔥

[@doglover136_]

on the sml kickstart pod they said that he has a huge gear deal money and years wise with two big name brands, so big it could get moto mainstream coverage, and rumors are brian is going to make his own team with their own sponsors

@@doglover136_I don’t see that happening unless it’s a factory team that splits like Kawi or Yamaha splitting. Maybe star only running 250s & handing over 450 team to new sponsors but at goat farm with Yamaha. I could see monster kawi tho.

Haiden is just being himself, been watching him since he was on 65 that's who he is he's just having fun people shouldn't get butt hurt over his words. He's going to be something special.

[@robbieanderson649]

Deegan is the only reason I’m watching motocross religiously now. Haters have a problem with his awesome interviews. Love it

Come on boys if anyone knows the edge Degan has it’s you two champions. He has what you both had against your competition. It’s full on “Superiority in the Mental Game”. Like you both in your time he; Refuses To Lose! Don’t you agree.

[@Kahutara]

Ive been a fan of Haidens since b4 he went pro, have loved every minute of winding his doubters up, but Tom Vialle deserves alot of credit for making this mx season as exciting as it is, hes the one dude in the class that wants to beat Haiden and that has resulted in some epic battles between the two.

[@Bryan-jd7os]

That Deegan kid is shutting up the haters! Not really though, hes just making them madder!! Hilarious and so much fun to watch!

[@Carpfishing4400]

The fact that Haidens right elbow hit Levi's rear tyre, yeah you can't really get much closer lol

[@ThorneyGryffon]

Update the graphic Haiden has won 4 races. This was number 5. He won Pala, hangtown, thunder valley and Southwick. Second at highpoint.

[@slayer6936]

5 O/A and 6 motos. And has not finished lower than 2nd.

[@dylanhallwatts8172]

Can’t update after posting

[@traveler142]

do the math... 238 overall points Haiden has 5 overall points wins... Masterpool and Deegan both received 47 overall points for the tie at High Point...

[@seanhaberman4619]

4 overall wins. Not 5.

[@ropedb]

Haiden is just wired different

[@MotoMikkola]

100%

[@michaelhoward7652]

Yes ,he is

[@iillestrs2153]

Like his pops said, kid hates losing more than he likes winning

[@Ibsmokin]

I don’t enjoy any post race analysis more than title 24. I watch Stew but this is by far and a way a better race breakdown channel.

[@Pbeal1016]

It is hard to make gains on someone who is making them himself. The kid was out testing at The Wick and getting coached by CR in the sand on other days. I bet others were enjoying the week off rather than trying to figure it out like he did!!!

[@michaelhoward7652]

I have said this before ,they all relaxed because it was southwick and they thought they had haiden covered because of his results last year ,big mistake

[@ryanoborn602]

As a long time fan of the sport I just want to remind Villo and Ricky, this is entertainment and us fans pay for it through ticket sales and product purchases. All sports are just that, a form of entertainment and yes a show. Dont forget it. Living and watching the supercross in SLC for many years we are the end of season which means we get the survivors of the season. This means we often get few top tier racers. So when a top tier guy like Tomac doesn't even show up to sign autographs or be present, it's points down in my book. Roczen still came even with the recent injuries and hurt much worse. Points up in my book. It's entertainment and a show, don't forget it. Thank goodness both series are united and have season finalies with big purses. Thank you guys for your podcast, I love hearing your experienced comments and insight. Keep the retired pros and Jason W. in booth on race day.

[@ajmotocross]

even though i am die hard Yamaha. during the Ryan Viloptos era he was my guy. i wanted him to win everything.

[@Flexyhead]

Haiden told you all why he is so fit, but mainstream media want to ignore it. David Goggins is his motivation, he said it on the podium. If you want to equal his fitness, get hard !!!! Go do a Goggin's workout and you will understand. Traditional training will not beat Haiden, it is clear for all to see. its no mystery .

[@michaelhoward7652]

Oh thats to controversial for the ama lol

[@ingguidesmedia]

He has a high VO2max. It’s genetic and is the leading trait of all top endurance athletes.

[@LetBrockBye]

Or it’s Just the PEDs

[@jasonc1817]

My pick was Jett for the championship until this morning 🤷‍♂️… Chase for the title

[@chrislofton8197]

Love this. They do know Haiden did a backflip on a bike at like 5 right lol

[@traveler142]

Haiden was 10.. but your right, the kid is fearless.

[@therealjd1503]

He was 10 but yeah Haiden is a badass

[@calebmccalla4715]

AC was awesome. Anybody is better than that blonde haired chick but AC is next level and has an actual friendship with these guys and the knowledge to go along with it.

[@Bobby83060]

You're just seeing Haiden grow into his man body.

[@traveler142]

2022 Jett's 250 mx championship went 9 overall points wins out of 12 rounds with a 45 point lead at the end... 2023 Hunter's 250 mx championship went 7 overall points wins out of 11 rounds with a 20 point lead at the end... 2024 Deegan has 5 overall points wins with a 42 point lead so far and still 6 rounds to go...

[@rad9693]

Finally RC is back, RC and RV are legit

[@WahchintonkSioux]

It's a huge production

[@normpainter2783]

I trully dont believe RC and RV are giving Sexton enough credit. I think that was a huge moral booster. Also Jett said at the beginning of the race being interviewed that after the break he was feeling much better and back to his old self. Also he beat Hunter and the rest of the pack and Hunter not hurt. Sexton your the man an the only one who is giving the Lawerence boys some competition.

[@seanhaberman4619]

Jett said in the post race conference that his shoulder is still bothering him and it flairs up every time he rides for a consistent amount of time. Jett is hurt and it's the only reason chase has a chance.

[@aus-rider]

You can’t bet against Jett, he has won 15 out of 16 overalls, once he gets over his injuries, he will be back to living rent free in Chases head again.

[@calebmccalla4715]

Sextons 1st motos would be his reality if Jett wasn’t hurt and Hunter wasn’t a rookie and had a tad more fitness. He’s taking advantage of their disadvantages 2nd moto and it’s making him look awesome but don’t forget, he got skunked by 20 seconds moto 1.

[@akrabano]

they try to take Haiden out at the start. However, as long as he is on the podium for the rest of the outdoors season, it's his championship he will always score points and be ahead of the rest of the field.

[@edwindeming2148]

Omg NOBODY TRIED TO TAKE HIM OUT y'all are whack jobs

[@kingatticus303]

Let’s go 38!!!

[@LeftThumbBreak]

Shimoda is the one that can fight Deegs late race. The last race and their past has shown that. I hope Deegs brings out the speed in Jo. Will be fun to watch.

[@ABCDEFJLIM]

Haiden fell thats why shimoda is in front, also haiden will not risk anything over someone not even in top 5 like shimoda, he calmed and slowed down after passing vialle… haiden literally gapped shimoda over 50 seconds in moto 1 😂

[@imagoodlistener2730]

Think it’s dope if that stat is right about haiden being the first 250 guy since villo to have the points lead he has 5 races in

[@fleece192]

Red Budddd

[@nolansalas671]

Their only real hope is to get the hole shot and try to check out in hopes that he doesn't catch them. Especially in those first moto's, where you can pretty much grantee that he will push for the win and maybe make a mistake.

[@KOM-jh]

Just gotta hang it out for the duration.

[@svboyce2]

If Jett talked like Haiden, everyone would hate him. Granted he’s a kid. But boast-heavy on the mic!

Ricky how can you say Jett's competitors have nothing to fall back on when Chase CLEARLY has better fitness than him? Sexton is easily the fittest rider in the 450 class. Did you watch Moto 2 at Southwick or Hangtown??
