Haiden Deegan – will to win!


Alpinestars provide an insight in the what may just be the modern version of Ricky Carmichael – Haiden Deegan has the same insane desire to win and the ability to lift his pace to the level that is required to take victory!

Deegan gave his view on why he is still so motivated despite growing up in a rich family – not the normal pathway to dirt bike success!

“It’s hard for a kid that has grown up with some money and got all this stuff from his parents to be fine with suffering. I could be living with the family off their money and stuff. But I want to make my own money and I want to succeed like my Dad did.

“I feel like you have the people that didn’t have a lot of money and they want to do it for their parents to help them out whereas I had the parents that had the money that helped me get here – I can’t be the kid that throws it away. I have to be the kid that shows them that what they did for me is going to work. I will say it, I will out work these guys, that’s how I got to the point of beating them.

“When I race it’s like this thing where I was born with this instinct in my head where I only want to win. It’s kind of natural to me now, all I think about is racing and winning.”
