Cromwell Training Day ππ₯π
Deegs finally ticked off a couple of jumps heβs been looking at for a while. After months of rolling them, sizing them up, overthinking them and finding every excuse under the sun, he finally decided today was the day to just send it.
And bloody hell, he did. π
The confidence is building every ride and today was one of those days where everything seemed to click. Faster, smoother and looking more comfortable every lap.
Dad spent most of the day doing what all motocross parents do:
βTake it easy mate.β
Then immediately pulling his phone out to get a video when things got sketchy. π
Motocross parenting is a strange hobby. You spend thousands on bikes, gear, fuel and tyres, only to stand beside a track cheering while your child actively tries to leave the planet.
The progress today was unreal though and itβs awesome seeing all the hard work starting to pay off.
Huge thanks to the businesses helping keep the dream alive:
ποΈ Kawasaki New Zealand
π§ Motoworx Winton
π Civil Construction
ποΈ Qt Auto Refinishing
π€ Shotover Jet
King of Central is getting closer.
The bike is ready. Deegs is ready.
And if Deegs keeps riding like he did today, the competition might want to start practising their excuses now. πππ₯
Bring on King of Central!

What a weekend in Christchurch at the 2026 Michael Godfrey! π
Iβve never raced this track before, so it was a pretty cool experience. I raced 5 races over the weekend and my lap times got faster every race as my confidence grew.
To come away with 5th overall, I was stoked! π
A huge thank you to my Nana, my big brother, his partner and my nieces for coming out and supporting me. It was awesome having you there cheering me on.
Big thanks to Dad, as always, for being my coach, mechanic, motivator and biggest supporter. Thanks for all the hours you put in to get me and bike #77 to the track every weekend.
A special thanks to Tracey at Cluster MX Photography for the BP voucher in recognition of the travel. It was a really cool surprise and much appreciated!
And of course, a massive thank you to my sponsors. I hope Iβm making you proud:
ποΈ Kawasaki NZ
ποΈ Motoworx Winton
ποΈ Civil Construction
ποΈ Queenstown Auto Refinishing
ποΈ Shotover Jet
I couldnβt do it without your support.
If anyone would like to jump on board and support Hunter Deegan (Meikle) #77 for the rest of the season, send our page a PM! π€π₯
