"You're damaged goods" - Jason Anderson opens up about the darker side of the Motocross industry

[@dhbldr]

Have been a fan of JA21 since back on his 250 days. Lately we've been hearing more from him. The more I hear, the morehe stays at the top of my favorite moto racer list. I'm a bit over twice his age, but if he were my neighbor, my door would be open to him. No questions asked. No favors asked. No hidden agenda. Just chillin, eat'n, and whatever.

Yo, tough love incoming. You’re a great interviewer. I want you to be successful and keep these going. With that in mind, that thumbnail clickbait of Kenny is no bueno. JA didn’t mention Kenny at all. Click baiting it to make it seem like he said something he didn’t is how you start to lose your integrity as a journalist, not to mention losing the trust of those who you’re interviewing. My two cents: leave it up to the viewer to make those associations on their own.

Spot on MDLR. GT, don't become something you usually are not. Keep it fuckin real, no bullshit clickbait shit ok.

He mentions it without saying is name... about investing in riders and if a manufacturer sees you have mental issues it's a red flag...

"Every time I call it a game, you call it a business. And every time I call it a business, you call it a game". That line from 'North Dallas Forty' is the truest statement ever made about any professional sport. And then, there's Don Ohlmeyer's "The answer to all your questions is money".

These Anderson interviews are Gold 👍

[@lelenbates3367]

I am sending this video to my 18 year old son. He is making poor choices in friends and he was an overachiever and his new friend group is a "yeah but..." group. None of them will make direct eye contact when they see me and now I see him not making eye contact as he backslips on life. In a short period he went from pay raises and moves up at his job to being fired for not showing up several times because he was out late with the boys. "Your boys" can push you up or pull you down and if your busy with life you often don't pay attention to which direction your trending towards until you are on either top or sinking. True friends will tell you when you're making poor choices. Jason Anderson has great insight and clarity on his personal life. I am glad I found this channel.

[@justanotherjackleg7073]

Anderson and Brian Deegan have really earned my respect by talking about this type of stuff. I experienced that in my life, although I was only an average expert. When you are winning everyone calls you and wants to hang out. When you are not winning, you are on your own. I know more average guys know what he's talking about. I can't imagine how it feels at Jason's level. Love hearing the truth. You are ONLY as cool as your last moto win. KEEP IT UP, GYPS.

[@dormantmenace]

That applies to anything in life. People love to see a fail. Bad news travels faster. Why do you think the media is 90% bad news. Reality TV. Trives off bad news. The bigger you are the harder they want to see you fall. Ya they will bask in your sunlight while your winning. But they will tell the story of how you failed to anyone that will listen.

[@soulfulterrain3143]

Jason Anderson rides with the perfect aggression that's needed to win championships. That is why he's one of my favorite riders.

[@JuanGonzalez-qg3oc]

Human nature at its most primal example. Thanks for sharing

[@CloakedReaperGames]

Dude yesterday Munoz’s bike literally broke in half during the Atlanta race and he had to crawl off of the track hurt. The announcer there didn't say who got hurt or even show a replay. It was avoided in the live replay on Peacock. No one literally even said a word that he even went down. His bike broke in half! It took them a full minute to get the thing off the track! Why aren't they showing us this, telling us who got hurt and how?

[@motofish312]

Kenny has nothing to prove anymore. A supercross title would be nice and it can still happen if yhe cards fall the right way. He is one of those once in a lifetime talents. His comeback from injury was amazing I for one thought that he should throw in the towels and am quite amazed by what he has accomplished since his injuries. He will always have a bike under him because he always has a chance to win if he is healthy and is a great ambassador for the sport.

[@roosthrower]

Great rider Jason and very down-to-earth, I seen him in a supercross in Australia years ago, he was really good. Always remembered him for that. I'm surprised gypsy tales doesn't follow Australian motocross more since yous are from here too. Haven't been following you guys much usually watch Monster energy supercross, pulp mx or moto limited show.. Been some good racing here in Australia but the coverage and hilights are pathetic. Nothing like America or mxgp.

He got fucked by the Butler Bros and nobody stood up for him. RC was and is a turncoat POS in my books now, didnt have the balls to say anything anytime about Baggett, sad eh. Couldnt even stand up for a fellow rider, (and probably the most honest and genuine rider around / ever) I put him up there with huge respect like KDub14 or Canard. Same as the the little guy Jason Thomas that wears his lil sisters pants, big Fly Company guy and was always gloating that Baggett was "his main guy" but couldnt and hasnt ever stood up for BB4, what a spineless POS too. RmATV fucked Baggett and it was swept under the carpet, except their shitty actions cost them any current and future factory support from the KTM Group, which is awesome! Deep down the AMA are dirty scumbags if ya ask me.

Jason acts like this is specific to sx, this is strewn through nature. If a chicken has a wound the other chickens will pack it to death. It is in our DNA to eliminate weakness. Dogs still walk in circles before laying down because before we made them pets they would do that to make sure there were no snakes. Even the people who rail the hardest only want to surround themselves with people who think exactly like themselves. Maybe we should stop handing out trophies? Everybody is a winner for showing up! Or just except if your gonna take these jobs that pay way more than the minimum wage it's just part of the game!

Dude my answer to JA re this is you are the pinnacle the best of the best, the tough truth it’s tough at the top, it’s why you get laid the big bucks, it’s why you are a star, it’s the same in management, the grunts critique and talk shit about you but fact is you have allot of decision to make have allot of things to juggle why people are asking question they break your focus it’s why you are in that position SUCK it up, you aren’t the struggling privateer, wake up and appreciate your position it’s got a limited life, average people don’t want to here excuses about your shit because they deal with shit day in day out trying to make $5 go where $50 needs to go, worming there arises off for peanuts, seriously no one forced you into this, no one forced you to want to be a pro at 16, I understand you don’t have the maturity or skill set at that age, but it was your choice look where you are for fckrs sake seriously take a reality check and wake up to what you have, most would give anything to be where you are, that’s why I personally don’t want to hear this bullshit, I know it tough, but compared to what average and below people do daily seriously wake up, you are at the tip of your sport or one of the top enjoy the ride while, you can, don’t make excuses, I understand being real being honest you wouldn’t be human if you didn’t feel what everyone else had, but fact is you are top .9999% of your field Fckn take that no mercy no excuses no bs own it you are a pro be a pro. No BS. If you want to compare yourself to an Indy car driver or NASCAR driver fair enough, but I don’t hear that shit from them, in fact usually those guys or in Jases case Aus touring car championships those guys are Fckn real professional, approachable they promote the sport better than anyone else and never Fckn here Bs like this ever, they are just happy and see, happy to be in there sport and promote it.
