Who’s the Future of Pro Motocross? ALL IN Part 2, Star Racing Yamaha

Спорт

Within the motocross industry, we are all familiar with the sacrifice families make for their children in order for them to race the biggest amateur motocross races in the country. Out of the thousands of families that chase this dream, only a select few ever garner the attention of a factory amateur team, let alone find themselves under the factory tent. This has always made us wonder: who are the gate keepers? How do they select the next talent? How do they manage the young children and their parents? The answer(s)? Enter the 2021 JS7 Spring National Championship in Wortham, TX and Wil Hahn, then Star Racing Yamaha 250 team manager.
ALL IN - Part Two: We sit down with Hahn to explore these very questions, while watching his current crop of athletes do battle at Freestone County Raceway. Hahn's open and point-blank insight into the process of finding the talent, how to keep them from imploding, to the glaring flaws within long-term factory amateur contracts, and the fact that most will never make their dreams a reality, sheds a light on the ALL IN mentality that both families and the factory amateur programs must have when, essentially, using their crystal ball to predict a future with a minimal rate of success.

    Watching this series and hearing the emotions in these men’s voices about these kids and what everyone involved in this sport goes through hits you right in the feels. I know there’s more to it, but I can’t help but wonder where that line is for parents with kids racing? If you let them be kids they won’t push themselves as hard as they can; but if you push them because you know this it can have catastrophic results for not just their potential career but their entire lives.

Money helps, but talent wins the game here. He is super talented, and the ones that are haters are obviously those that can't keep up with Haiden. It's very obvious. Even Gary Bailey had mentioned that Haiden is on another level for his age.

And in general, I feel like most motocross kids are already pretty spoiled just to even be doing the massively expensive sport. My parents never even allowed me to race growing up. I race now, but I'm 30 and too old obviously to ever make anything happen. I'm not complaining. Just sayin. haha

    Literally goes against what they were saying in this video.. Sadly. No disrespect Haiden is stupid fast. But I grew up watching a ton of kids just like him. Austin Stroupe, Nico Izzi.. Even Mike Alessi was predicted to be all time great - Mike dominated amatuer ranks - most kids that raced him on 85's did not like him at all lol. Think about Ryan V who got second to Mike all the time... Maybe Haiden turns pro and doesn't like it anymore and could make just as much money from his Youbtube channel without the pressure and tough schedule and just have fun. And that kid that Haiden made come in 2nd or 3rd all the time has the drive to win more than him because he didn't in the amatuers. But yah neva know - I guess will see and that's what makes this fun to watch.
