Josh Grant-Autograph at Lake Elsinore pits....NOT

Hey Josh.

HINT: When there are little kids waiting for your autograph in the heat and your pits has a big board that says "autograph session 11:15-11:30am" and three chairs set up for you, Chisholm and Wardy with your posters...PLEASE SIGN next time instead of sitting there 15 feet away laughing with your friends and ignoring these kids. You never signed one autograph...not one! We all walked away at 11:30...I am pretty sure you could have signed and been done in about 2-3 minutes....there was only ten of us.

I will say Jeff Ward was a class act and signed but these kids wanted a JG33 signature. One father even asked Wardy if Josh was coming up and he said "he wasnt sure". Josh was right there talking with friends/family and looking at all of us.

Geico had all 4 riders signing and taking pics with the fans just like the other teams that post a time.

I am a huge fan but that was wrong buddy.

Meh, anything he might have signed is worth more without his signature.

Who would defile anything with his Bro Scribble?

Why not just take your kid to the tattoo parlor get him inked up throw a flat bill on him and drive him down to the county lockup?

If they are looking up to JG33 that is where they are headed.

I was at a dealership autograph session a few years back... Grant was the same punk ass bitch that you saw. This year, at NCY, Milsaps was exactly the same... he couldn't care less, he spent the entire time with his back turned to the fans talking to Bobby Regan. The 'bad guys' like Izzi and Stroupe stayed late, as did Dungey.

Gotta love the rockstar attitude. guys like him will soon be has beens of the sport. I respect Josh and all the rest as riders, but they need to look at the big picture and get over themselves.

Not defending him as I wasn't standing there but my buddy told me he threw his helmet/gopro out to a fan after the 2nd moto. That's kinda cool

I've always been a fan of JG's riding...when he's not trying to take people out. Not so much of a fan of the "funny gang signs" and funny faces in interviews.

Boss Wardy didn't see that JG33 signed autographs as the signs indicated he would?

Perception is reality. I'm a little disappointed Wardy didn't kick his ass into the chair and told him to do his fucking job. Brutal.

Bobby, usually you tend to stick to slaying things you've seen with your own two eyes, not bandwagon jumping.

As for some of the rest of you, you sure make a lot of assumptions (poser, jail). I think dennis90 got this one right.

Agree 100%. "Please" and "thank you" goes a long way with most riders.

shouldn't have to say anything but "thank you" after he scribbles just like the sign said he would. Especially since he was there but not...

Seems like riders and players of any sport that leave a legacy have an attitude that go along with it. Windham is probably the most perfect example. He doesn't have the championships to his name like say RC but his name will be remembered for the next century if not longer. Riders should take a page out of his playbook. If nothing else, dick moves make you more forgetable and less marketable.

If every rider was Kevin Windham the sport would suck.

I'm a Huge Windham fan, who isn't?

But be careful what you wish for.

Josh signed my shirt at Unadilla this year. We had a nice little chat and I came away with a positive experience. I guess timing is everything!

Hopefully your kids learned a valuable life lesson about the difference between perception and reality.

I know a lot of people like to hate on Josh for being associated with the MM, but I had about a 45 minute chat with him and he was incredibly nice, even asking questions about me and showing genuine interest in our conversation.

Entertainment is fantasy. The more realism you enter into it, the less the fantasy is enjoyed.

Maybe he didn't realize he was supposed to be signing. Idk. He seems nice from his interviews.

Refrain from using your negated logic as it is in-considerably fucking stupid.. I bet you are just the highlight of role models huh.. probably some fucking worthless Mormon whose views are so far up your ass!

It's not it's the tattoos fuckstick. Have you get met Grant? He's a total bro.

It's the gang signs, the stupid faces, the entitled attitude. The guy is fast and talented. He is also caught up in the whole bro lifestyle.

I don't get how people can be surprised by this. He's always been this way. I'm sure he has a few moments when he is nice but typically this is what you're going to get.
