I was trying to find a better rut. It happens. On that gate,(it)was pretty rough. It\u2019s like, I\u2019m gonna get on that smooth gate. And unfortunately, I should have just realized I have suspension on my dirt bike and stuck with that bumpy gate, right?\u00a0So I think that\u2019s why I kind of, you know, had that little brain fog was just like, trying to find a smooth line when I just don\u2019t need to overthink it and just go with the flow.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the first round. One day I\u2019ll hit my luck on this first round, but tonight wasn\u2019t the night, but you know, we\u2019ll get there. Obviously I wanted to win. That\u2019s always the goal. But no, I\u2019m not tripping. I know how many races we have and still in the top five of the first round. I\u2019m healthy so we\u2019ll just go back to work. And I know I have my starts right. I just, you know, brain fogged on that one. So we get everything back in line and come out swinging next weekend.<\/p>\n<p>I just got to find my flow, and we\u2019ll take off. Once I get that little mind switch to, you know, go back to where I can find my flow, it\u2019s game over, but we just got to find that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Facebook Twitter WhatsApp Messenger Email Haiden Deegan was expected to dominate Anaheim one but the defending champ blew&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":129661,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164],"class_list":["post-129660","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129660","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129660"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129660\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/129661"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
