All right, it's time for a BYOQ (Bring Your Own Questions) session with Red Bull KTM's Justin Hill. He'll be here this week, answering questions from you guys, so bring your best. He'll pick and choose what to answer.
So far 2015 hasn't been too kind to Justin, with ankle and head injuries, but when he's up to speed, he's always fast and stylish...like you'll see below.
He'll be here through the tenth. Remember, ask questions like you're face-to-face with him...and he has a big bouncer standing behind him.

What's your most memorable day of racing? Where, when, and why?
At what point in your career did things finally click for you and you knew you were ready to turn it up?
What piece of moto advice has helped you the most and who did you get it from?
Thanks again, best of luck to you.
I remember reading something Mel Pocock's dad said about the Pocock family - that having put all the effort they put in to get Mel to a pro level, they weren't sure if they would be able to do the same for the other brothers, both financially and emotionally.
Do you think that having an older brother who raced successfully at the very top helped or hindered your career? (Or did it have an effect at all?) Did the benefits (contacts in the industry, experience, etc.) outweigh any possible hindrances (financial difficulties, an idea of just how difficult it is)?
Best of luck in the rest of the season.
Favorite song to play?
Current favorite band?
The Unforgiven I, II, or III?
Few months ago, we've seen you for the first time on a 450 at the Monster Energy Cup, and you've been pretty impressive putting two strong races. I know you've had some problems during the Supercross season, but from the outside look of things, you didn't seem to have that same raw speed you've had at the MEC. It seems like your style suit the 450 more than 250. So is it true, and if yes, what do you like more on the big bike than the little one ? Do you've any expectation of were you could have finished if you would have ridden the 450 SX championship ?
I don't know if you'll answer my question but again, it's very cool from you to give us some of your time.
Thanks for taking your time to answer these questions. Last year, your Supercross season was pretty impressive and therefore plenty of people (including me) considered you the favorite for this year title. Unfortunately, that did not happen but people still believe in you because you have the raw speed. Even though this year was not a complete success, you were plenty of fast during qualification and even heat races, but unfortunately when the main event rolled up, the same intensity / speed was not there. What happened and how are you going to fix it for next year?
Kind regards!
what caused the worst pain you have ever had from riding?
myself, it was a broken pinky! and ive broken ankles and wrists. i thought that was strange
thanks,
travis
Pit Row
Thanks for your time.
You experienced first hand the results of poor flagging. How would you recommend MX Sports fixes that problem?
I can't imagine DeCoster won't send one his own KTM boys. Also, are you racing 250 in the US MXGP?
Thanks
do you think pros would ever ride two strokes in the 250 class if big bores on 125s were allowed to, say, 167cc?
Or are you guys (pros) so in tune with the four strokes that you would never switch back to two strokes?
What are the pros/cons between steel and aluminum frames? Was it a noticeable difference?
Can you now beat your brother on the reg? How does he feel about that?
Good luck the rest of the year!
