Aside from his great talent, Josh had an unmistakable personality. He was fun loving and almost always sported an ear-to-ear grin. He would talk to anybody at the track and anyone that met him for the first time would walk away with a smile. He touched a lot of people's lives and will be missed by many. RIP Josh.

That is just devastating!
I wonder how this will affect future nationals when the weather is warm and riders struggle with heat. Will they shorten the races to prevent this from happening again? What a horrible way to go

I remember him from when I spent a week at Waldo in Florida. He was riding there with Nico Izzi I believe and they had some great battles with each other. RIP

I just got a call on this one. That's really sad news. The MX Sports crew is working on getting more information, but from what they understand, after the first moto he was taken directly to the on-site medical staff, bypassing the Asterisk Mobile Medical rig, and was transported to a local hospital.

Our thoughts are with his friends and family, and we'll pass along additional info as we hear more.

Josh was on our team a few years back. He and his dad were really good people. I am so bummed out for his entire family and his friends. May they find the strength to get through this terrible tragedy. I will remember Josh fondly, always. R.I.P.
