Dude love the series. Got out of the Army last year and came to Colorado for school, but had to sell the bike to keep school going. Still trying to save for another one. Watching this series lets everyone know that its no joke trying to make it in the big leagues and I appreciate the effort yous put in to it. Ride hard son.

- Of the 87 entrants in this years series your running 29th - A couple of good results and you will be in the top 20. - Your dad has more than a passing interest in working with you. - Your girlfriend preps bikes and drives the motor home. - From what we see your LTD (Liv'n The Dream) - Not a day goes buy where you not somewhere new. Your doing what most of us only dare to dream of. Keep up the good work and the results will come.

best series ever

this is so inspiring and i love watching this every week. keep up the hard work man

He's a good dude saw him today at Watkins MX got my pic with him and an autograph. Watching him ride is awesome! Good luck next year my bro and I will be rooting for you!!

this series is awesome,it should be a tv show

Derek has got to be one of my favourite riders ever!

Just watched Derek kill it at my local track here in NY state. Can't wait to watch the next episode!!!! I was working at the track flagging and gave him a ton of hoots and yee haws as he roosted bye!!! Good luck at unadilla Derek!!! It was very cool that he showed up to ride!

You guys are my favorite riders because you really do fight every week to race

dude, you're SO the man!!!! keep doing your thing, and put your head down!!!!

loving all this loretta lynn's video & now this man vs moto... sweet!

Keep the faith.....was a privateer bull rider so I feel your pain but stay the course and it will pay off..good luck I'm an official fan ..see you at the track

great video once again and hope to see you at Lake Elsinore

Love these videos Derek! Keep on racing braaap!

I hope the best for you and hope you still had a good season and at least you got to ride all or most of the races but what matter's most is you had fun and your still doing what you love!

more riders should do a series like this

Love all the videos !

you should give me the scoop on that sand track cause I live in MN and I'm always trying to find places to ride especially when all the public tracks are expensive as meadow valley...thanks! was awesome to see you chilling in MN

He has the best attitude about life

The jet ski he is riding is one of my buddies I was there when they were shooting this!!

8:50 he asked and he received. the WHOOP MONSTER!!!

DEREK!! Ik in episode 2 u complained about tracks not being open but the entire week before unadilla Broome-Tioga sports center is having a all week riding camp for all the national riders and privateers!! U should really check it out!! The owner Tom Hird is truly a nice guy and is letting tons of privateers stay there!! Check it out!!

Money for spectator? BS! All Cali tracks are free for spectators during practice days.

Good luck this weekend man keep the head up ;)

Your shows are really good i reckon you should put a bit of you actually racing these races in here somewhere would top it off

that track at 2:45 looks like so much fun!

To race where I live, it's 10 for a spectator and 25 to race

cool video good luck next race Derek

LOL he asked to see the roller monster and he met him .

jesus $10 spectating practice?! jesus christ!! In england we only pay for spectating when we go to watch professional races!

Practice day and they charge spectators, unbelievable.... Maybe see you this weekend Derek, be at Unadilla, go get em!

Hey buddie, i am a great fan of yours and your series because it shows what hard work goes into chasing your dreams. your a inspiration to everyone of us trying to make a name in the world. i have a question for you. I am trying to send a resume in to MSR for some gear help, what should i put on my resume or what are they looking for on the resume.

I predict you get a top 15 finish this season

Its $45 per rider and $10 a spectator at my Local track, 2 hrs away from Millville!

10 dollars for spectators on a practice day? That's crazy! Would only make sense if it were a race day.

yup, so true~

haha yup. I can save an hour on drive time and pay half the price at another track which is my favorite anyway.

It was meadow Valley days, that means pro week and I'd pay 10 bucks to go watch pros practice and talk to them, not giving privateers a discount is kinda bull shit but I can understand the 10 bucks during pro week, rode a meadow all day today track is sick!

$10 for spectators??? bullshit we don't even pay to spectate in practice in new york where everything 100 times more expensive haha, best track my ass

Im guessing Millville is the best track.

Bad luck you crashed but love the series

Don't F' with the hair, let it grow at least until end of season. Wish you the best of luck bud!!

hey D. I wear msr gear because its the best bang for the buck plus you wear it. in the words of tupac keep your head up man. you got fans and we ridding with ya. Oh man don't forget to give a shout out to your girl. she is the best. hell i can't get my girl to go to a race or practice with me . your girl is changing filters and traveling with you. oh another rule of advice women have trouble driving a regular car, and you tried to get her to back up an R.V. LoL good thing you didn't

7:09 tucker on the left

For $50 the track better have been perfect. Unless its race day what track charges for spectators?!?! I'm sure has hell never going to that track....

sweet

Keep your head up pro motocross racer and have a beautiful girlfriend that help with driving and fixes your dirt bike what could be better

Best track in Minnesota... Meadow Valley isn't even the best track on the block, being Spring Creek is about a mile down the road.

calm down man! sheesh...

That's bad but one track 2 hours from me is $50 a day for non members and $28 for members. One reason I never go there.

derek should lend me a sheoi for ever please msr

his grandpa is my neighbor, i ride on his track and sell them eggs, he is the one who told me about derek in the beginning. PLEASE LIKE SO DEREK CAN SEE SO MAYBE WE COULD HANG OUT

it would be cheaper to rent equipment and go build one haha that sucks

$10 for spectators is bullshit and $30 to ride is also bullshit

I must be lucky I pay $20-25 and nothing for spectators

Derek if someone would Give u a neckbrace would u wear it??

yo, Fan Boy Fred... Chill out...

Been going to Meadow for years. Hasn't really changed in 10+ years.. They lost my respect for not supporting DA63

we pay 5€ to 10€ per rider in portugal and the ones that charge more alredy closed dores, but 30$??? f...... evan if it was the best track in world, that was bullshit really. and the spectators its just ahhhh.....

Pause at 4:57 lmao

Sell more privateer gear! I wanna spend some money!

"the best track in Minnesota" is bullshit too

I live about 30 min from millville and this that track is about 1 mile away.....Ive been riding there for about 13 years and while its good dirt the track is bullshit....since ive been riding there only 1 jump has changed, same old shit every summer and they just keep raising the price, its just bullshit,

Road Head

I pay 14dollars for the whole day, and nothing for spectators, that's just so sick too pa for a spectator...

so frustrating whatching these cause u more than deserve factory help.....just sad to see

Any chance derek could wear a GoPro so we could see a little bit of each race?
