Wait! We have more trouble with this blog! I've been trying since last week to post this blog about Hill and Goerke's pants, and for some reason the photo I took of Georke in practice simply and completely will not upload to this site. And no one can figure out why. We've now passed the problem on to the tech team that built the back end of our site. Meanwhile....the photo I took, the one proving I discovered this before Matthes, remains un-uploaded.
Worse yet, I posted an updated version of this blog but the text has dissapeared, replaced by some odd HTML code on some internet browsers. Weege is not happy about this.
So anyway, enjoy reading this week old blog without a key photo.
I'll be back with more later.
We have proof! For years, the debate has raged. Why do Josh Hill’s pants always fall down? Is it the pants? Is it him? And why, in general, have pants started saggin so often at the races? Back in the 80’s and 90’s, when kidney belts became a rule instead of an exception, jersey’s stayed tucked. But then for some completely mysterious reason, the kidney belt went away. Gripper seats showed up. Then hump seats. 450s. Now jerseys are hanging out on a variety of riders. But no one sports the sag like Hilly.

Hill's pants fall.
Last week I was standing in the staging area before 450 practice, and noticed Matt “Beef” Georke’s pants. His butt patch had the Yosemite Sam “Back Off” motif, but oddly, Matt had a 75 printed inside Sam’s hat. Was this some kind of message to Hill, #75? “Back off, Josh, I have your bike now?”
So I asked. Turns out Matt forgot to bring a fresh pair of Moose Racing pants, so he just took some Thor pants out of Josh’s locker. That’s all there was to it.
After that convo I realized the real story here. God had bestowed a one-in-a-million chance on us. Another rider was wearing Hill’s pants! We could now test the theory—is it the pants, or is it Josh?
Folks, it’s Josh. The longest lower back in the game today simply can't be contained.
This was such big news that Matthes battled to beat me to the punch by posting this on his www.pulpmx.com site on Monday. Don't listen to him, though, I took the photo before practice even began so obviously, I got the scoop first.
I’m so pumped on this I’m bringing the Blogandt noun of the week back and saying it’s Josh Hill’s pants.
