Observations:

- hasn't lived up to expectations
- gets hurt a lot
- tremendous raw speed
- great style
- will never be a title contender; he's a guy that at one time could win a race, and that's it
- the metal shtick and full sleeve tattoos doesn't cross over well into the hard core moto crowd
- after fucking up his knee again, he should be worried about his career
- the metal shtick and full sleeve tattoos doesn't cross over well into the hard core moto crowd

True, 'cause a lot of motocrossers are like the super preppy kids in high school/college that think if your not wearing a pink polo with your collar popped and keys to a beemer in your pocket, your not as good as them at life.

at the same time, I always meet very nice people at the track and all my closest friends have become the guys I ride with because the're all level headed dudes that keep their shit straight. I guess moto is no different than other aspects of life, you got people you like and people you dont.

Huh, really?

Tat's...full-sleeve, or not = not "moto"...?

Have you walked around the pits at an SX, National or Local Race...at-least here in Cali...lately?

Josh Grant is a punk. After his take out of 800 in lakewood I lost any respect for him. He will never get his ego out of the way of his bike long enough to be a threat for any championship.

He should just go rip up a few golf courses with his friends.
I'm so tired of people that try and make Josh the bad guy in the battle between him and 800. The 800 has been doing stupid shit for years on the track and Josh is just giving back a little of what 800 has done to him for years. I think you labeled the wrong person a punk.

Sure, Josh Grant is not a punkish little bitch that rammed a 220 pound bike into the knee of a guy he knew just had surgery. He is not a punk that will consistantly collide with a guy that he knows will not retaliate because of percieved rivalrys. Josh Grant is a tatted up FMX bitch.

Josh Grant may as well buy a pool, put a shark in it and really prove to us how hard he is.

Wow, I'd love to be on your review-board when you go upp for Chief.

Any anger issues, sailor?

Grant is one of the most naturally talented riders out there, great style too. Hopefully he can start achieving the results his talent deserves.

umm no sorry, very fast but has never been on RV's or Bubba's level for more than a lap, in fact his last healthy season Bubba/Reed waxed him, lost all respect for him last season with all of his Dungey bashing!! Well the season has worn on and Dungey is still winning and people are still talking about "how fast JG could be"!! Excellent video and style though JG is very creative!

Not a Josh Grant fan when his helmet is off..but I never get bored watching him ride a dirt bike.

It's unfortunate that injuries have held him up this year.
x2

A lot of talent hope he can get it back and be up where he should be

Then I saw the little drop off when he landed...

Josh will soon be one of the guys riding for "bonuses only" on good equipment. Wasn't his deal that he bailed on with Valli going to be for 2 years?? I don't remember for sure...
Pretty certain Josh may have been riding for 'bonuses only' this year...

Alessi new exactly what he was getting into when he showed up to race in Lakewood. Bum knee or not it was his call to race. Its not JGs fault Alessi had knee surgery. If grant would have hit ne one else, no one would have thought twice about it because it was a racing incident. Stuff Happens. Plain and simple JG rips.

Dungey is winning?

1 moto and 1 overall...

Dungey has won, he isn't 'winning'

lets not exaggerate the facts...RV and CR are winning...repeat offenders, motos and overalls

Grant may as well have had cross hairs on the front of his bike. He crossed not one, not two but three lines to ram into 800. If he would have at least manned up and admitted what he did I would at least say he is an honest little bitch but he didn't. He denied, denied, denied, all the while snickering about it when the video cameras were not around.

You missed that boat. I am a Senior Chief allready. Maybe that explains why I don't like that little bitch.

Although a couple of years old, this video serves as a freindly reminder of just how much of a bad ass Josh Grant is on a MX bike.

Don't write Josh Grant off just yet people. Josh has raw talent on a dirtbike like few others possess. And the factories know it Wink

People quickly forget that Josh has won SX and National races. He will overcome his injuries and he will win again.

There are to many riders in the Lites class geting ready to move up to the 450. He blew his last shot. Carma bit him in the behind.

Teams don't have the time or money to wait for to see if a rider will reach his potential anymore.
