Update: The first batch of interviews are live, hit the homepage.

Hey all…just a little update on a group of content that’ll be out in the next day or so.

Interviews with Brennan Schofield and Tim Cotter (MX Sports) are done.

Tomorrow working on the interviews with Mike Burkeen (AMA), Donnie Luce (Yamaha), and Matt Walker (Moto X compound)

Trying to get in touch with Deegan and the Yamah dealership that Brennan was supported by.

It’ll all basically be released together, podcasts and video. Gonna see if we can get it transcribed but it’s going to be a lot of audio to go through…

Awesome job ML we appreciate it! If the dealer actually does talk at all I would love to hear their reason for dropping the kid even after he took back the claim, that was so fked up.

Now, why would you go and get the other side of the story from the other parties involved? That’s crazy….

We have a bunch of Media guys in this sport. They are nothing more then spokesman.

We have ML, who actually is a journalist.

You might want to go look at the Sexton is God thread, its been talked about. Thing is, there's not a whole lot to talk about. Both of those guys are fast as F$%^ compared to the rest of the field and are absolutely ripping. Its great to watch. There's just not much to talk about. What else can be said? Its awesome to watch live and witness the process.

Feel free to add content to the Sexton is God thread or better yet, start a new thread on it and be sure to make the conversation interesting.

I venture to say we all know how these interviews are going to go, and I'm going to go out on a limb and say we will be no closer to knowing the truth of the matter after hearing said interviews.

Great work, ML. Will be nice to at least hear all sides of this. Even if we never actually end up getting full clarity, at least you made the effort to get all sides so we can make our own conclusions.

The first two have already cleared up a decent bit in my opinion.

Will we ever get to the true bottom of it? I guess we’ll see once it’s all out there but for me it’s already narrowing down quite a bit.

Or start another Deegan bike claimed thread as interesting as your own post I guess. I first have to investigate the situation and renew my Mavtv subscription hahaha

This could be true, but the dealer has dropped support for Brennan apparently.

There are multiple active threads discussing the battles between Eli and Chase (see Sexton is God and the #3 and 23 poll threads). You have not contributed to either of them at this point, but here you are in this thread.......pot meet kettle

I'm sure Donnie is a smart enough guy to use Matt the Mouth to do his talking, that way he has plausible deniability. The key would be to get the Mouth to flip on Donnie.

A lot of people have a very strong incentive to deny or obfuscate what happened there. There's a cause of action called tortious interference that could turn out to be very problematic. I would take almost any uncorroborated denial there with a grain of salt because distancing from that form of interference is very self serving.

I could definitely see Walker saying some stupid shit to the dealer that he has absolutely no business saying. I would like to think Luce is more professional than that. Anyone that knows Walker knows exactly what I'm talking about.

Well no Yamahas for me. That new yz450 sounds like the business too.
Don’t like this and I’m the end consumer and it’s my INFORMED decision. 23 husky or wait out to the 24 Kx.
