HAIDEN DEEGAN
Orange Brigade is ahead of the game with the group of highly talented amateur riders that they
have brought together over the past couple of years. One of the youngest riders on the team is the son of former professional racer and Metal Mulisha front man, Brian Deegan. Haiden is one of those riders of the next generation that does
things on his 65 that most people can’t do on a 250. He rides with an undeniable style and confidence that has brought him tons of amateur success so far in his career. Haiden has been one of the riders to beat in the 65cc and 50cc class for the past couple of years. It all started after he finished on the box at the 2013 Loretta Lynn’s National Championship in the 50cc 4 - 6 class. Following his success at Loretta’s, Haiden has been able to take titles at the James Stewart Freestone Spring Championships, the World Mini Grand Prix, Mini-O’s, and the GNC International at Oak Hill. At least year’s event, Haiden stormed the 50cc class and won every single moto that he entered. In the 65cc 7 - 9 Limited class, he didn’t step off the podium in any of the three races and ended up finishing third overall to cap off an extremely impressive weekend. Haiden has outgrown the 50cc class this year and will be focusing on earning more wins in the 65cc class and adapting to the 85. He’ll be looking to build off the momentum that he put together at
the James Stewart Freestone Spring Championship where he took home two number one plates and a second place overall coming
into the California Classic this year.
