Brian Deegan (born May 9, 1974)[1] is an American professional freestyle motocross rider and racing driver.

In 1997 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Deegan won the 125cc main and ghost rode his bike across the finish line.

In 2004, at the Winter X Games, Deegan crashed while attempting a twisting backflip 360 over a 100 ft (30 m) jump, landing on hard-packed snow and ice and breaking his femur and both wrists.

In 2011, he won the World Championship race at Crandon International Off-Road Raceway in the Traxxas TORC Series.

In addition, he represented the United States with teammate Travis Pastrana in the Race of Champions (ROC) competition held at the Esprit Arena in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Deegan raced an OlsbergsMSE Ford Fiesta in the Global RallyCross Championship, earning runner-up in 2012, fourth in 2013 and 12th in 2014.

Jesse James, Ronnie Faisst, Jeremy Stenberg, Cameron Steele, Chris Ackerman, Nate Adams, and Seth Enslow are a few of the featured cast that talk about Deegan and his life's journeys.

Most recently he teamed up with Illektron to create Battlez FMX, a collectible card and dice game featuring Deegan, Todd Potter and Jeremy Lusk.
