The teams and riders need to come together collectively to come up with a plan and make their case to the AMA. They need to protect their investments before someone gets seriously hurt due or a championship is lost due to a flagging incident. Clearly the AMA doesn't take their complaints seriously. Maybe threaten to boycott if they don't attempt to improve things. That may be extreme but idk what convinces them.
3rd video with Matt and I enjoy hearing what he has to say more each time...and I thought he was great the first time! He seems like a genuinely good person with great input and the ability to convey his thoughts clearly. Thanks for introducing us to him Cooksey!
MX Sports is adamant that flaggers stay off the track at all times -- no exceptions. I've personally seen volunteer flaggers dismissed and sent home because they stepped out onto the track to protect riders or bikes which were lying in dangerous locations. Their policy is that only Alpinestars medics and MX Sports officials in the grey shirts are permitted onto the track -- flaggers must simply stand in their assigned spots off to the side.
I’m an investor and I’d like to purchase the channel and hire Matt Hammer to take over. What’s your 3 year EBTA? I’m confident this channel would grow with Matt at the helm! No more red pill bullshit and the other drama that comes with the load mouth dude! WTF
Theres a local track in Casey Illinois Lincoln Trail Motorsports. They have invest into the lights on all blind jumps and they have flaggers on stands so they can see the back sides. They also have track officials that ride around portions of the track with the remotes to kick on the lights so whenever they see a flagger they kick on the lights and go over to make sure riders are not jumping on anybody
Id expect Sexton to outlast Hunter fitness wise, Hunters first year on the 450 is making all the other riders look slow except Sexton and Jett. Hunters Redbud crash I believe was caused from just being spent from pushing so hard. That was the longest he had pushed in a moto on the 450. It's crazy that a lot big motor sports rely on volunteers to do the most important job. They need lights just use the ones from Supercross. Bikes also need the fork lights from Supercross and illuminate blue when the leader is within 10 seconds so flaggers can find them easier and waive them down. So many races getting screwed by lappers. Great content lately.
What was Christian Craigs best outdoor 450 finish on a Yamaha? I believe it was 5th 2 years ago at the end of the season. He is fast, the field has just got better. In the Dnations race, he actually did real well considering he wasn't racing prior to the flying to France. Yes he fell, and got up and kept going. Where as AP gave up in the 2nd moto.
Often over a jump there is only 1 flagger on one side. He can ask rider to go over the other side with gesture but he can't ask riders to go on his own side.
There was a flagger on the other side of the corner clearly waving the yellow, Anderson ignored it. Definitely need to invest in safety for these superstars, but in this case the blame goes to the rider.
It doesnt make any sense to not have at least lights. I could jerry rig some lights for almost nothing. The tracks already have requirements stated in their contracts with mxsports regarding everything from restrooms to fencing etc. All they need to do is add something in the contract with the tracks requiring lights on blind sections. Then mx sports wouldnt even have to pay for it.
The flaggy was waving the yellow flag way before Anderson and the other rider through caution to the wind & decided to jump anyway... The flaggers not to go on the track like others have said, so he was doing all he could. I think most people are picking on the person this time.....
The Riders need a Union. They need the power of the Whole and that includes the top tier riders too. Parity of starting money, the availability of group health insurance and most of all the Safety concerns being addressed and enforced. BTW being a flagger sucks and the reason why finding experienced people is difficult. My suggestion appeal to the local clubs/racers and follow what some the off road and road race clubs do and require it as part of a work credit.
I think it’s mental. I truly don’t believe Jett is that good or dominant. He just has a different style that of attacking things in the track. It’s a mental block for everyone. Sadly we will never see tomac truly healthy again to push Jett. Sexton can beat Jett rockzen can beat Jett. No one is willing to push and change to go there but sexton and as I said it’s a mental block.
With today's wireless technology they could build small light towers, that are remotely controlled that could travel with dirt Worx or Alpinestars medical or some other caravan entity. I have seen and heard a lot on flagger problems, but Anderson brought this on himself. I would bet he agrees. He grabbed the throttle and jumped right in front of a waving yellow flag. You guys make it sound like the recent Deegan incident with no flagger at all.
IMO Hunter no telling how long he’s been beat by lil bro took that dog out of him. Listen to him talk. He’s ok with whatever bec he got use to it with Jett. He needs to get off the team with lil bro if he wants a 450 chip. Can’t just settle not when season getting deep & he’s getting behind. If he could’ve shown chance I can get you then he could force chase into mistakes
You're just being nosey Cooksey. Contracts, no matter what info, is none of your business, it's between the company and the rider. Clear back in the 70s the AMA didn't notify me whether I was in the Nationals till just a few days before the event. It used to frustrate me all the time.
FLAGGERS are always gonna suck No big deal 😂 u guys seriously need to find better content 😂 yeah 2 flaggers on top of every jump face keeping it safe gimme a break
The flaggers arent allowed on the track or to cross it (for good reason), there isnt much that particular flagger could do. JA is a knucklehead, he didnt slow at all.
If the flagger was further out on the track, It'd make the riders go to their left and miss the downed rider and bike. But, JA is a knuckle head, there's no doubt about that.
Check me uploads: Proof Chance intentionally kicked out Deegans Front Wheel.. if it was unintentional you would look back, if it's intentional you look forward. Nuff said
Deegan and Anderson need to have a press conference together and complain about the flaggers and say Mx sports rider safety sucks
jason even said after qualifying thag him and haiden need to talk with the ama or something like that 😂😂

No a chance,,,can't stand bible bashing crape.
My local track implemented lights and sirens on the track , and its pretty awesome. Southfork MX in Virginia
Our track had lights only, which were useless, adding sirens would have helped for sure.

I remember when I was a kid in the mid 90s the flaggers at the local track made flagging look like there own sport how we get to this lol
about the flagger situation, its pretty sad that i went to a practice day at a track and the flaggers were better then.

I wouldn't mind if CZcams unsubscribed me from a bunch of other channels. Subbed to too much crap over the years
I so wish Jett, Eli, and Webb were out there... what an awesome season it could have been

Jason also took himself out in that situation when he got on his bike right after that crash and crashed again 😂
it's a steep hill...😂

do you have to be on team Jesus to go to his school? do they force you to pray at this school?

Another great video!!!
Anderson had a flag right in the face!!! And lights cant step on the track.
The flaggy was waving the yellow flag way before Anderson and the other rider through caution to the wind & decided to jump anyway...
The flaggers not to go on the track like others have said, so he was doing all he could.
I think most people are picking on the person this time.....
It's supposed to say "wrong" person 😞 lol.
Not blaming the Flagger, but the system needs updating.
Yep, definitely.
There's a lot better options like you've suggested 👍
All moto-x riders put there life in the hands of flaggers week in week out.
I am almost done making my video about flagging haha

Hunter did beat Jett in a couple of 250 races but it was generally because Jett went down
there was a flagger clearly waving... Anderson chose to ignore it,,,the flag was right in his face
great find cooksey, matt is good
All amateur and professional racing deserve proper flag safety.
Has anyone at mx sports ever raced a dirt bike? Damn
I've listened to some of his music and I have a pretty open mind but I'm all set with that. Just kind of weird
ktm the lighter bike is better with chase.. better than healthy jett. for sure
The flagger on the left in a woman so i dont see her stepping right out on the track in any situation
Riders make the best flaggers so have a amateur series that runs just before the pro class and pay them to flag
Ya flagger’s suck . I see them flagging the first place rider with the blue flag all the time !
Maybe hunters been riding the 2025 and isn’t as confident in the 24 chassis
I think it’s mental. I truly don’t believe Jett is that good or dominant. He just has a different style that of attacking things in the track. It’s a mental block for everyone.

Lights aren't enough, and, they're also a dangerous object right on the side of the track.

Hunter is living the dream, and he knows that. Just buy being there and being paid to be there, he's already won.
