But Do Your Actions Agree? Almost every rider I’ve ever worked with has told me they want to succeed. They want to win races and championships, get a factory ride, race Grands Prix or eventually make a living from the sport. And when they tell me that, I believe them. I don’t think they’re lying about what they want. But there’s something I’ve noticed over many years of coaching that I think riders need to hear. Wanting the result and being willing to do everything required t

There’s no shortage of effort in motocross. More riding More racing More training More investment Most families are already doing everything they believe is required to move forward. And yet, at some point, something starts to feel like it doesn’t quite add up. When that happens, the natural response is to do more. Train harder Add more sessions Push a little further Because effort is the easiest thing to control. It gives a sense of progress. It feels productive. It feels li

There is a certain type of elite rider the sport struggles to explain. On paper, nothing is missing. The speed is unquestionable. Technique looks clean and repeatable. Preparation is thorough. On the right day, the performance appears effortless and controlled. Yet the same rider can suffer sudden unforced crashes that seem to arrive without warning, sometimes even with a clear track and a comfortable lead. What makes these moments difficult to understand is the absence of ob

Why the Fastest Lap Won’t Win the Race – And What Haiden Deegan Is Quietly Teaching the Field We’re now into the U.S. Pro Nationals, and the opening round at Fox Raceway, California, didn’t disappoint. Both classes were stacked, but as always, I turn my real focus to the 250 class. Younger, less experienced riders fighting for podium honours. More heart. More chaos. More raw lessons. It’s the class where emotion and pressure collide — and where you can learn the most if you k

Seth Hammaker just won the East Rutherford round of the 250 East Coast Supercross Championship. He now leads the series and is riding with a level of control and composure we’ve rarely seen from him before. But beneath the results is a story that most people will miss—and it perfectly exposes one of the biggest flaws in motocross development today. For the past four years, Hammaker’s career has been plagued by crashes and injuries. Not due to a lack of talent. Not because of

Why Riders With Bad Technique Can Still Be Fast And Why Real Technique Always Wins... in the End Rider: Liam Everts Photographer: Samo Vidic / Red Bull Content Pool One of the most frustrating things for serious motocross riders is this: “I’ve been working on my technique—and some guy with terrible form just beat me.” It can make you question everything: Does technique even matter? Is smooth really fast? What’s the point of putting in all this work? Am I doing th

We’re four rounds into both the AMA Supercross and Arenacross world tour season, and you’re seeing it happen—some riders look fast all week in practice, but when the gate drops, they can’t put it together in the main event. Sound familiar? This isn’t just a problem at the pro level—it’s the same reason so many amateur riders struggle to turn their practice speed into race results and one of the most common problems I see at the races. Here’s why it happens. Your Brain Works A
