"You don't think I run our numbers against everyone" Brian Deegan talks the reality of their channel

The Deegan KZbin channel is one of the crazy achievements of Brian Deegan in his career. While it might be easy to think that a channel like this could be attained just with capital alone; there is now way for a channel to hit a million subs the way their channel has without insane work.

Brian has come a long way since launching his bike off the finish line jump .

[@jordanemede]

That was the peak deegan ✊he's done well tho I love to see it

[@jondoe4667]

@@jordanemede yeah he seemed like a little asshole as a kid. Don't get me wrong he was still my hero growing up. But it's cool to see the other side of the coin and know him as a man who loves his family, and teaches his kids that it's worth it to be respectful. That's something that's been lost in family's for a while now. 😁💪🇺🇲

[@jordanemede]

@@jondoe4667so did I until I got to my late 20's so I don't hold it against him. He is certainly setting the right example in the family. I don't know any of them personally but from what I do know he's done great raising his kids.

I’m 12 watching xgames. My mom walks in and says “those boys in all black with the spikes seem angry. I like the nice kid on the yellow bike.”.... I instantly become a fan of Deegan. Still watch him today at 33 enjoy watching him Be a roll model to kids, parents, racers, influencers, business people etc...keep up the hard work

[@GYPSYTALES]

Hahaha sums up all of our childhood

[@Killacam1992]

I remember 20 years ago or so I was 10 and randomly flipping through the channels and boom there it is, X-games Moro X best trick and it was either Twitch, Faisst or Deegan that did a backflip then followed it up with a no handed can can backflip and I nearly lost my mind. I couldn’t even believe what I was seeing was possible and thought it was the coolest shit I had ever seen in my entire life. Became a fan of motocross and FMX ever since and went to a few Anaheim races to watch Reed, Bubba and Carmichael go at it, and went to a few X games events in LA to watch the Mulisha guys and TP go at it. I personally became obsessed with all FMX riders but Travis Pastrana was like a god to me. The guy just didn’t even seem real, he was like a modern day super hero. I had all the nitro circus movies and always wanted to go to X games or watch X games when he was competing. Hell my dad was having a huge party when he landed the double backflip and a hundred drunk adults and my young ass went ape shit when he landed it. Man those were the days but it feels like FMX and X games in general has completely died out because of social media which is sad.

[@donnieortegojiujitsu]

Same here been watching the mulisha since day one still a fan of Deegans at 34 🤘🏻✊🏻

[@FarmerFpv]

​@@Killacam1992 Nah it hasn't died out. Most riders are now doing their own thing trying to capitalize on KZbin and Rumble. If you subscribe to people like Axell Hodges, and Colby Raha they are doing their own thing ad it's amazing to watch. Colby Raha & Axell put out the best content IMO.

[@Killacam1992]

Great video, it’s awesome to see how much effort and energy Deegan puts into his content and also the moto industry. Definitely see the sport growing a lot in the next few years!

[@TheShift1313]

So true. I remember in the 90s checking a vhs camcorder out of high-school and trying to strap it to the fender of my yz250 to try to get a cool shot. And that was all to get something I could watch on my TV. Its so different these days!

[@stagermx317]

I did the same thing, put a towel under it for cushon and tried duct tape lol

[@fredgarvinMP]

The trick was to use a VHS-C camcorder and duct tape it to your helmet which made for a nice smooth shot.

[@butt-wad3109]

And then realizing when you are watching yourself on TV how slow you really were. I remember me and a friend taking video back in the 90's and racing home to watch it and being extremely underwhelmed :). I think we promptly recorded over it so nobody else would find it later.

There's so much truth and wisdom in this one clip, I wish everyone involved in MX/SX had the same mindset. While I have my own favorite riders and brands within the industry, I don't root against any of them. I don't wish for any rider to go down or get injured, even if they're beating one of my favorite riders. Suzuki isn't my favorite brand at all, but I still wish they would put more money and effort into their bikes and teams. I just want the sport to grow and for everyone to have the chance to know the joy and freedom of riding and/racing a dirt bike.
