I thought he rode great. Had to ride defensive because of the tight track but , how do you guys think he did for not racing all summer? Did he put in a good enough ride to secure a spot back on RCH for 2014?

What do you guys think?...

I don't think that's a worry. He's also headed to Australia to race over there.

He had one more tune-up surgery on his foot after Supercross, and says he thinks he's riding as good as he ever has.

Good deal I didn't hear about the other surgery. And to answe the question I was stoked for Josh's race last night, he wanted it and gave it his all. Great job.

I've also heard he will be back on RCH for the SX series.

He did ride great! He has been getting his mojo back this year in racing after his injuries. Hope he keeps it up.

I don't feel he needed that ride to secure any spot for next year. Have a feeling that will be determined on his health and how hard he prepares in the offseason.

He looked great though and it was amazing someone can come off the sidelines and compete so well in a really tough lineup. It's a shame he came so close to the Gold only to lose it with a lap to go but he seemed pretty happy with his results.

Hill seems like a real cool guy. I started liking him even more after he was piled on for his failed backflip.

I'm always a fan of a comeback story, and the adversity he has battled through has been absolutely tremendous.

It's cool to see a team like RCH give him a couple of chances these last two seasons. If they stick with him through 2014 SX I have a felling their gamble will pay off.

Send him down to Ricky's for the next few months and we'll have another contender next year.

This should be a requirement for all RCH riders if it isn't already.

I posted this in the race thread, but I'm going to post it here too. I was really happy to see Hill ride well last night. I wanted to see him take the gold, but a silver is nothing to be ashamed of. Hopefully this can end his troubles that started with the X Games three years ago.

I thought he rode well but would have been better served to look in front of him. Glad Justin put the plastic to him at the end. I know rubbin' is racin', especially in an arenacross, but stop with the look backs and stand ups. Especially when you're trying really hard to finally escape injury.

That's fair.

I say he will be a 5-10th place guy, but in the company of RV, RD, JB, CR, TC, and JB51; that is a hell of a accomplishment.

After how bad he was hurt, I seriously questioned Him ever being competitive again.

This guy has worked through some major stuff and looks great out there.

i will probably split you guys and say 8-12, Brayton was back of the top 10 this year and had speed on HIll all day, Blose was on roughly the same pace, and so was Peick, and those guys where 10-15 place guys with an occasional top 10,

Josh rode awesome yesterday for sure, he did things right and with 2 holeshots and made his bike very wide, with smart line choice, on a track that was very hard to pass he rode to the conditions, It would have been very cool to see HIll win it for sure, after it was training for the X Games that caused him the bad injury,

Chads charge to 4th was pretty impressive as well,

I'm stoked for the dude.

From losing all that weight and being in the wheelchair a few years ago to the other night's performance is nothing short of remarkable.

so keen for hill to come over. i think he will be surprised how fast the likes of the moss brothers, todd waters and a few others are actually going at the moment

If he can improve his fitness he'll be a guy to watch next year.

always been a huge Hill fan and was stoked to see him ride as well as he did. it had to be tough to fight back from the injuries and all the naysayers that threw him under the bus. props to RCH for seeing the good in him and keeping him around, look forward to him getting even better next year
