where can we watch the whole video podcast?

Tomac proved that you don’t need to be in there to be the best 😌

The Baker’s Factory hasn’t really produced much in the last several years. The dominance of Yamaha and Honda looks like it will continue into the future with their fresh crop of young talent coming up and Kawasaki is not to far behind. Baker’s Factory is going to be history before you know it.

Remember him and Jake Canada ripping on 80s at Glen Helen. Great races. We are a big fan of Deano he will be a big asset to the industry once he stops racing. Gd luck this 2023 season.

Buddy and i had driven cross country from Connecticut to SoCal to ride Moto and hit Glamis. Saw Deano at State Fair MX and i'd just hold my line so he could rip around me. Talked to him after and it was awesome that he was stoked on us making the drive cross country. Really is the nicest dude in Moto. If there was ever a riders union he would need to be its president.

Dean's the man

*Chad Reed & Eli Tomac* both won *2* titles the only *4* titles won by someone who's Never been part of the *Baker Factory* program in the last *20yrs*

Putting your body through so more physical stress causes so many bad things to happen. Aldon wants a one size fits all but moto has an art to it, and just working hard doesn’t get wins. You need to be having fun, be loose, working technique and style or else you’ll never win look at Marvin. I’m glad a lot of riders left

*Deno* has some great insight going from *PC* then friends with *Reed* where he filled in on a handful of races at *#TwoTwoMotorsports* so he seen his program. Then ending up at *Bakers* along with the handful of different programs he's been with on privateer & fully back manufacturer teams

Jase, I love your podcasts! Great to hear Deano on the show. I really liked Dean when he was just a small guy on Pro Circuit. Then the kid hit a huge growth spurt! He grew up and got tall and filled out! I seen him in Oakland and he was tall and filled out. I’ve always been a big fan of Dean and I felt bad after the Roczen thing cause I sent him a DM and was pretty mean. Then later that night I wrote him a long apology. It really wasn’t his fault! I just really didn’t like Webb and wanted Roczen to win and I let my emotions get the best of me and my mouth wrote some bad checks. Lol Deano is a class act! People don’t see how much he gives back to this sport! Spending his time off at a local track scoping out kids who could use a better bike and gear and then spending his own money to surprise some kid with a new bike and gear! That’s awesome! His filmer gets his van stolen with his bike and everything inside and Deano goes out and hooks him up with a new 450 and gear! He works his ass off and Bobby and Husky have to be proud of him. All the injuries he’s gone thru and always comes back and fights! His dad is a kick in the ass too! When he went privateer and had his dad wrenching for him his little pit area at A-1 had more people around it than some of the big factory guys! That’s shows how much of a fan favorite he really is! I got to talk to him at A-1 and Oakland year after year and the guy is super nice and funny as hell! Great podcast with Deano and you gotta have him back again sometime.

He's burning those guys out

I think the speed of the riders has slowed down over the years. They got used to running a fast pace, but not like stewart or carmichael used too do. Jett and hunter are changing that. Their causing the other riders to have to pick up the pace. So glad this new fresh blood is dominating.

Bakers Factory will be in the history books for multiple reasons… a good bit of championships and in hindsight ruining a lot as well. Every rider is different and cookie cutter training isn’t the model. I mean how the fuck do you not allow a rider suffering in whoops too work on riding whoops…. That’s asinine…. But hey, Aldon’s only competed on bicycles riding on flat pavement where redundant training is effective.

If I’m being honest, it doesn’t sound like much of a life. I get being a champion in something, anything, is huge. But man. No wonder Villopoto was completely content with retiring, and a lot of people don’t get it. But this should help make it clear why.

I think it’s time to move on passed Aldon. It’s his way or the highway and if you ever want to see someone miserable just look at Villopoto. I’m not saying Aldon did that to him but working 7 days a week with some pinhead ordering you around is not the way.

Why doesn't anyone model their training after McGrath? He was the best supercross rider of all-time. Sometimes it's important to go to Lake Havasu and decompress, as the stress from constant training can be counterproductive.

Webb had a nightmare that he escaped bakers factory and ended up at the Tomac ranch.

Reminds me of the Bulgarian weight lifting teams. Push everyone to the limit. Most will fall away and the few that can hack it will win. They will get results, but in weightlifting it’s evolved to be smarter.

Deano you the man 100percent honest and down to earth you going a long way when / if you retire plus you fast as fuck dude 💨💨

Alden raised the level of the training for the sport. All sports have done this over the last few decades. Now, other teams have put programs in place, and t's paying off for them too. Let's give him credit, it's made the sport better.

On the bike is the best training no matter what, the one that can make you faster is you yourself they may tell you to do something this way but you do that same thing better your way ever one is different. being confident in your riding is key.

Seems a similar idea to remote work. The company may want everyone and everything in one place, but if you're not excited to go to the office, or excited to work within a repetitive program, your mental (determination, health, etc.) may fade. And mental means so much in this sport, and most highly competitive, professional positions in general.

This literally sounds like the epitome of overtraining scenarios and potentially a very good argument for allowing riders to have input and help self direct their program. The monotony from how he described it is literally a fatigue metric that we track in professional soccer sport science. I like what Alcon has done for the sport but it’s time he brought in better outside professionals and or allow riders to seek out their own professionals.

deannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooo its been too longggg, good shit jace

Great show !

What people forget it that Aldon only did Ricky’s fitness. Ricky’s mom was his riding coach. I remember in a magazine when Ricky was riding for Honda they showed a planner for a week. It was like 2 40 minute motos, then working on sections like whoops.

Same here on 2 wheels I reach 35mph maybe 40 and a governor kicks in. On 4wheels it's wide open to clear everything

Nice and relaxing after

Those who ride Moto put their lives on the line every time they enter the gate,if they're not having fun, then the risk is not worth it! Motocrossers are a different breed, they are the 1%, they are the daredevils. they push themselves to the extreme, every time they get on a bike. These trainers have to remember that these unbelievable athletes are still human beings, not robots!!!

Being a 450 supercross champion is probably more important to Jason than whether he gets fired or not lol

Theres a time and a place when burnout occurs. And when they get cooked, they need a way to step back and refresh. Thats common sense

Every athlete needs individualized training. It is an insecure and maybe psychotic person who thinks and trains otherwise. Yes, it’s good to have someone push you into mental toughness but there are limits. Having a significant background in psychology and understanding humans, more often than not “less is more”. There are examples of this throughout all aspects of history and life. As someone who coached baseball, I viewed and trained everyone as an individual and was successful at it. If the person had athletic ability my entire job was to get them out of their head and I was damn good about it because I genuinely cared about “the individual”. And yes, I did race MX back in the 80’s so I’m not talking out my ass. People are people and the mind is the mind no matter what sport.

Who has won a 450 title with out Aldon since Ricky? Reed, Tomac, Langston, Roczen, DF14?

Is this the first time technology has pressured the athletes into an obligation? I wouldn’t sign my thoughts to Ktm or husky for 10 million a year. Sometimes you just can’t ride period..

Lol knock the doors off the hinges when I make my entrance!

Aldon seems like a really awesome guy and I am a KTM fan, but you have to look at how Bennick really improved in a short time after going to Star. I don't want to hear it's Star running pro bikes in armatures, the program needs some revamping.

Deano is the boy

Aldon didnt make RC, RC made Aldon, same with JS7, Aldon knew he worked for RC, and Aldon had zero to do with RC and James's on bike training, they both have made that clear, Aldon Actually stole RC's moms on bike routine!!!

Where can you WATCH the full podcast ? Spotify just has the audio version

It’s hard to listen to this content because it underscores how far this sport still needs to go in terms of understanding, and applying, proper training practices. Jase….yes, there absolutely is a point of diminishing returns and sadly, most train beyond that threshold.

Think you spelled “Prison” wrong 😅

Programs that produce results don't have room for variations, error, or complaints.

I might not be going that fast it's the feel of it though haha

That voice man

Aldon ruined James Stewart. He was counter productive and James fell out of love with training. He ruined the mindset of the best rider of all time.

tomac 100% proved u dont need it now LOOK AT JA21 he wasnt winnin with alkdon and almost quit now he left and had 7 wins this year

Prison sucks. But Prision? That place is horrible.

Aldon makes em champs

Deano needs to be a politician

Lots of comments here pretty much against Baker Factory. Track record: Ricky, James, RV, RD, KR, CW, JA, etc., etc. It may not be perfect but it has a proven track record.

Riders are Independent Contractors per their contract. Independent Contractors can not be told: Who, what, when or where to do/prepare for their jobs. They are contracted to race at certain events and their time before and after those events is Independent. KTM/Husky are violating the riders contract. They would have to sign an employee contract to be forced to train at Baker's.

Mexican Prision or English Prison?

This is why off road racing is the best. None of this nonsense.

“Under Aldons Wang”

Not sure if you're familiar at all with wrestlers and the way they train. It is freaking HARD! I'm talking NCAA wrestling programs, some high school but you look at Penn State, their program has dominated the past decade with Chael Sonnen as the head coach. All their guys talk about the practices where it is just a screw off kind of deal. The practice, cutting weight, etc. is so intense that this program has realized they need to blow off steam. You can't go 24/7 hard! Some guys are wired like that, maybe Dungey is but most people like your Jason Andersons and some of those guys are willing to work hard but they need to play hard, too. You can't push most people that hard EVERY day!! Not everyone can be an Aldon Baker or Mike Brown or Ryan Dungey or Eli Tomac. These guys seem to be able to just grind and grind and grind!

Eat plenty brownies power down!

Might be ok for some but it isn't the end-all be-all for everyone. Different things work for different folks. If Bakers is more like a prison, who the hell would want to do that?

They build machines to pair with other machines...there is no "human factor" other than pain and repetition.

Aldon's ass has gotten in his own head too many times lately. Have seen other trainers in sports do it....goes backwards after a bit.

Tell us the program 😂

Tomac is all the proof you need you don't have to go through Alden bullshit and have to train and stay at the farm

Deano u need to do some heavy weighs short reps it will make u a dog and mean

thats where the mistakes are made. Its not about being the next king of triathalon its about winning at motocross which is not just being in savage shape its about being smooth and relaxing. Look at the top distance runners they actually work on loose relaxed running not go go go all the time. I think Aldon baker was a great trainer for carmichael but those days are gone. Yes you need to be in shape but you dont need to be the next david goggins to win.

Shame on me I always thought the rider picked and paid trainers out of their own salary

Want to be an elite... do what nobody else is willing to do. Yes you can take a natural fat kid and make him an elite athlete who becomes a champion. Discipline always wins. Look at Tom Brady compared to Cam Newton.

Hotel hot tub

Baker's riders are over trained, and it shows.

Speedo and a cowboy hat

Burnouts 🫠🫠

Is this Podcast necessary to MX..??⚡️🤔

Nice try on the thumbnail but its "Prison" :P

You don't have to be a genius in motocross when there is little to no testing for performance enhancing drug use.
