FLASHBACK FRIDAY | IF YOU GO FREESTYLE, IT’S HARD TO COME BACK

Josh Hill then, on a factory Yamaha YZ450F. 

Josh Hill’s professional motocross career was derailed when in June of 2010 he attempted a backflip in preparation for the X Games. On his second attempt, Hill was ejected from the bike and broke his right femur, right humerus and pelvis, and collapsed a lung. Although Josh returned to racing after two years of recovery, he still struggled to gain the respect of the factory team managers. After a good 2014 AMA Supercross season, he was let go by RCH Suzuki and raced in Canada. But, he kept getting hurt. After a long hiatus, Josh Hill came back to racing in 2020 for the ClubMX team in 250 East Coast Supercross.

Josh Hill now, on a ClubMX Monster Energy backed YZ250F.
