Thanks for posting that video. Josh was riding my bike for that race. That was a fun day and now seems a bit more special. Lots of funny memories that so many will have. RIP Josh.

I never met him but one of my good friends was a mechanic for one of the big aftermarket companies several years ago. He knew Josh and his family very well from his amateur days. He is very shaken by the news. His words to me were:

"When someone passes away, everyone says nice things about them. It's just what we do as human beings. To say those same things about Josh just doesn't seem right. He was too good of a kid to be remembered by the typical cliches. When it comes to Josh, there are really no words left to describe what a great kid he really was."

Very sad news. Our family became fans of Josh back in the am days watching Lichtle, Woods and Grey battle it out at all the Florida series. 2002 Mini O Josh put on a hilarious show as he joined in dirty dancing Saturday Night Live style with spoonman. He had everyone laughing like crazy. Josh will be missed.

My heart goes out to his family and loved ones. Losing a child at any age would be probably the most tragic thing I could imagine happening.

RIP Josh! Hopefully we can take something from this tragedy to advance the sport, like NASCAR did when Dale died.

RIP Josh! Man this really sucks. I woke today to my son saying Josh died and I couldn't believe it. What a shitty way to start the day. I lined up next to him at Freelin MX the weekend before Red Bud for a our Open A an Open B race. Never tought that would be the last time I'd see him face to face. Thoughts an prayers to the family. God speed Josh.
