“I am so amped right now. My first career win in Supercross, this is unreal…. Obviously, man, that’s terrible to see Austin, [he was] ripping, and to see that happen is sad, man. I wanted to fight for this with him, man. I wanted to go back and forth and bang bars this season. But it’s racing, and the pressure, you know, it gets to you… This is a very, very technical track. And I watched the heat race back and I saw Austin making several mistakes, and I was like, I mean, I made mistakes myself, but I was like, ‘If I clean up my riding and [can put on the] pressure, it’s any man’s race…’ I just had good flow around the whole track, and yeah, all I can say is: Welcome to the danger zone, baby!” – Haiden Deegan
The 18-year-old son of former pro racer turned FMX legend, Brian Deegan, honored his dad when he ghost-rode his bike after crossing the finish line. Although Brian Deegan did it as a celebration for the win years ago at the LA Coliseum, the AMA made a rule against it. True enough, there was indeed a ruling against it when Danger Boy received a written warning for violating the rider’s code of conduct.
