Dangerboy Deegan joins Monster Yamaha

The rider they call ‘Dangerboy’ – Haiden Deegan – has jumped ship from KTM to Yamaha and will join the Monster Energy Star Yamaha Racing team in a multi-year deal. The Californian has multiple amateur titles and is a great addition to the team’s amateur motocross program, as well as being a YouTube superstar where his antics have seen the family channel amass 1.1 million subscribers. One video about Dangerboy has been watched 10 million times.

At the young age of 15, Deegan is already one of the most popular riders in the sport with his on-track success and engaging personality. The son of motocross icon Brian Deegan, racing is in his blood and he shares his father’s work ethic and passion for the sport. He has won championships at every level that he has raced, including winning four in a single day. In addition to his impressive number of titles, at 10 years old, Deegan became the youngest rider in the world to land a backflip on a motorcycle.
