And so it is as always in this sport.
Josh Hill - I respect what you are trying to do but if after this your efforts are once again derailed please step asside and allow the RCH team to go after a bigger fish - like maybe Wilson or Roczen- who will both be looking to move to the 450's.
Tickle and yourself just do not have the Mustard. Again I respect you and Ticle but the "proof is in the tasting of the pudding" - as Weege would say.
@ dinosaurmedia
I agree but Charmichal and Hart should know better with Hill..It would be like hiring Hepler or say a Ryan Sipes or even Hansen, No consistancy at all..These riders should know better get some new up and commer or something... Pay them little if they get hurt move on... I think Hill must have some well lets just say pictures on somebody over there..LOL!!!
I had a pretty negative comment on what not to expect from Grant. Then I deleted it. I'm getting soft.
It great that most are still on the playing feild "THE RIDING WOUNDED ".May the best sx'er win !
Forgot on the earlier post to add HOT SAUCE to that group !! Heres mud in your eye LOL!
I'm glad they finally changed the message, but that status on Michael Byrne doesn't sound good. He must have had complications or something. I didn't think that was that severe of an injury.
All the 450 podium threats are still out there. That's an improvement over last year, so far.
@MX Bob - DON'T JINX IT!
WOW ! josh grant made it to round 5 before injuring himself !
JGR and RCH have all the $$ and can't find talent if it slapped them in the head.
These message boards never cease to disappoint with the level of idiocy and general ignorance. The last time JH75 raced regularly he was a multiple time winner and tied for the points lead in SX. And not even close to his prime. He made a bone head move and suffered for it greatly getting a huge injury. But he has worked his ass off to get back and hopefully his bad luck is past him. Im stoked that someone with RC's pedigry gave the guy another shot. I hope he does well, personally
@MX Bob
What a screw ball you are !!!!! the guy is lucky to be ever walking again let alone any other Extracurricular activities ...
Must not follow the sport that close other than couch riding and keyboard jocking ! LOL !!
@Im42mx - Yo're being overly optimistic. When has a rider EVER missed two years straight due to injury and come back on a competitive level? The guy was 26 years old at the time of the crash, and most riders peak around 23, so yes he was most certainly at his prime. I wish him the best, really, but age, history, and reality are not in his favor.

@GroundHogBoy - Just keep guessing. You're bound to be right sooner or later.
Snowing like a MOFO up here ! LOL !
Ouch...My thumb is sore from unhooking a bunch of fish today.....Love my fishing....LOL....RV2 likes to fish also.....
@smee, wrong bro. Josh is just now 24. Will he win again? Hard to say, the field is kinda deep don't you think? But to be a top 10 guy? Absolutely. I think he has that in him and more
And what's the status of Josh Hansen's injury?
@ MX BOB
Dont forget to adhere to the dress code for the Grammies!
Please be sure that buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered. Thong type costumes are problematic. Please avoid exposing bare fleshy under curves of the buttocks and buttock crack. Bare sides or under curvature of the breasts is also problematic. Please avoid sheer see-through clothing that could possibly expose female breast nipples. Please be sure the genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visible "puffy" bare skin exposure. Please avoid commercial identification of actual brand name products on T-shirts LIKE RACER X OR MX BOB !!! LOL !
:o(
Get well soon, Weiner.
Stupid ribs!
hppe to see all these riders on this list at the races soon...
Man you just can't make this stuff up.On cycle news online it said that J-Law is going to make a comeback and that he is staying with Josh Hansen and training in Cal.
@ fred
I think Mr-Mx said that back end of the year to BD25 ! I heard MR-MX'S one of his holding companies was helping the kid out there is an article somewhere in one of the MX Industry publications that said something about it. I'll have to find it It's a couple of months ago.................I think he is on a ZOOK !
Yes I found a pic http://twitter.com/twmxdotcom/status/299216217896517632/photo/1
@ Mx Bob
Tib plateau breaks are worse then femurs. I broke my tib plateau riding with knee braces on, didn't even crash just like Byrner... Ruined my chances getting into the fire service. I can't run, I can barely ride, the sumbich is still swollen 4 years later and I need a knee replacement. Tib plateaus are no joke and no fun.
Reed is pretty close to his neighbors. He should have found something a bit more remote. Check it out using Google Satellite or Earth. Just search for this in Google:
28.342985, -82.152895
That will take you right there or go to:
Address:
12633 Duck Lake Canal Rd
Dade City, FL 33525
I think that's the neighbors place. Then scroll a half mile west and a little north and you'll see two supercross tracks and two outdoor tracks. I don't see any Kart tracks.
Hill hasn't spent much time on the track in the past 3 years- I hope he hasn't forgotten how to ride. He was right up there in 2010- can he get it back? I'll root for him.
It's to bad the idiotic move of a back flip with the freestyle tarts ruined
Hill's last real racing. The losers like Hanson, J-Law and now Hill
unfortunately have all screwed up their careers that could have been
because they all had talent. Love seeing J-Law going to make a come back
at the Nat's...........he won't even finish 2 races. At least he's training with Hanny,
that should work out well!
Josh Hill has earned his right to to come back from his injuries. I can't believe some of the insensitive ruthless jerks on this site sometimes. Come on Josh, there are alot people pulling for you!!! Not too long ago the jerks were probably saying Millsaps was washed up and should hand over his ride too.... Can you say jealous.
Welcome to the injury report where we trash on all the unfortunate souls who have to deal with something every motocrosser faces. You love the sport do you? Don't see yourself as a crasher and can't understand how a professional could make a mistake?
The least surprising news is that Grant is injured, he is either fragile or just very unlucky.
I'm not really a fan of him or his Metal Mulisha bad boy image, but after attending A3 last weekend and seeing him ride again in person (especially in practice) I will say he is probably the best looking rider on the track in terms of style and technique. He really makes it look easy when he's out there and I hope he can suffer through his injuries and stay in the series.
RCH team, i think carmichael gonna be sleeved by next year hangin out with inky
