From Ross Maeda's FB page:
https://www.facebook.com/ross.maeda

"LAST MINUTE TESTING!: 2 weeks before A1, Larry Brooks contacted me about supporting a project he had just thrown together: Josh Hill on YAMAHA YZF450 with backing from US YAMAHA and VALLI Racing. I have always had a soft spot for Josh because when I was injured, he showed up at the hospital with an expensive video game for me to kill the time with. It was instantly stolen by some lowlife in the hospital, but I never forgot his kindness. Even with very limited time, we collected the material for him to test and be ready for A1..."


How about them apples?

I hope he gets some respectable results.... Who doesn't like an underdog?

He's definitely good at his job, but if this is still technically a Valli team, I wonder what happened to Kehoe?

Testing with Enzo...



Larry Brooks confirmed on pulpshow that he is NOT team manager, more of a personal coach for Hill.

Erik Kehoe might still be around Valli....who knows ? Must be one of the most anonymous teams in the mx pits !

How many team managers you really need.. good bike, suspension and rider. I bet he can get better results with less hype and staff.

It would be so cool to see him holeshot A1 and ride the way he did back when he was on yamahas years ago before his injury.........shirt untucked, ass hanging out and hauling the mail!!

Awesome, would have been sad to see only one of the HIll brothers taking to the track next season.

Realistically, where would you expect him to be at the end of a main? Hopefully we'll see him break the top 10's consistently.

Josh seems to be a great guy, and can ride with anybody if things are right. Good to see him get a break, and on machinery & a team that will hopefully be up to the task.

Pumped for Josh, one of my all time favorite riders. Hopefully he can continue to stay healthy and put in some good results on the Yami!

Awesome! Good for Josh! Would have been a shame for him to be on the sidelines.

Yes, he is. Ross is seriously one of the nicest guys in our industry. He would help anyone at the drop of a hat, even if it's the day before A1. I can literally not thank him enough for all he's done for me alone.

Yeah he's got a different style for sure. He's a nice guy like Canard mixed with a little bro personality. I like both Hill bros.

Hill is usually in the same boat as JS7, Milsaps and a very few others that will hit an obstacle before anyone else. I remember Hill was hitting that quad in one race last season that most riders were botching and Hill was hitting it and pumping the crowd up in mid air.

The kid simply wants to be racing and I really respect that. With Hills attitude and Brooks passion for success, I expect we will see some good results.

Interesting that you say this... Wink

From what I know, it will be a great situation for him , if it all comes together.
