RX: Hudson, what got you into riding?
Hudson Deegan: I got into riding because of my dad [Brian Deegan]. I used to watch all of his old documentaries when I was younger, and that really got me interested in racing and riding dirt bikes. You can still find me in my room watching the Disposable Heroes or Bloodline documentaries to this day!
Talk to us about your first race.
My first race was Mini Majors when I was 7. I ended up winning in the 50cc beginner class and won it again the following year.
Speaking of winning, you had the opportunity to race the KJSX this year, which you won. What was that like?
It was really cool. I battled with the #5 of Levi Townley [son of former pro Ben Townley] almost the entire race until I launched past him on the step-up coming onto the start straight. I could hear the crowd going crazy, and it is by far the biggest race I’ve won and something I will always remember for sure. The best part was when I was on the top step of the podium, though. Because I won at A2, I automatically qualified to go to the KJSX Championship at the Monster Energy Cup in October. There I got a bad start and ended up finishing fourth, but it was a great experience.
Your family is heavily into social media and creating vlogs on YouTube. Talk to us about that.
We do all kinds of stuff on there. Sometimes we document our days at the races with my dad, Hailie, Haiden, and myself, and other days we’re just doing funny stuff around the house. My personal favorites are when we bust out the Polarises and drive them. I’m very fortunate to have a family like I do. I really enjoy doing all of it.
What do you like to do for fun?
Well, I try to do a lot of different things. We have a full park in our backyard, so I enjoy riding [freestyle] BMX and scooters on that. I also race mod karts when my dad goes to the Lucas Oil Truck races. I play football and do a little bit of freestyle moto in the yard after school.
What’s your go-to activity?
Definitely moto, because it’s the thing we do at the compound. You can find me on a pit bike hitting ramps or riding the tracks with my brother. It’s cool because not many kids have access to a full-size supercross and outdoor track in their yard, and I feel like I’m improving a little more every day.
Is there anything else we should know about Hudson Deegan?
The main thing is my Instagram handle, @hucksondeegan. People often think my real name is Huckson, which it isn’t, it’s Hudson. My mom and dad thought Huck would be a cool nickname because I tend to huck it. But other than that, if you want to keep up with what I’m up to, be sure to follow me or subscribe to our YouTube channel, Deegan38!
