I really think if Joshua Grant had a Aldon Baker as his trainer...

Top five maybe podium race results each and every weekend.
He has all the natural talent riders wish they had, If he could
stay off the ground, and not tired out at the end of races he would
be right up there with the Ryan's James, Kenny G and aarp member
and new favorite rider, Chad Reed. Take the step and have a proven
trainer to get you to that next step.

I have always thought that JG looks more like MC as far as natural talent and style goes than anyone. And without being interpreted as a personal slam I also have wondered if his laid back attitude could be replaced with iron man type of training and superfocused drive (not saying he doesn't try hard) how much better he could place.

I agree shredder! That Josh Grant guy has never won a 250 or 450 supercross race, let alone a 450 motocross race. He just doesn't have the speed or the stamina. Imagine how bad he would be with the right person guiding him Whistling

Good call, Steve. I read that steaming heap of dogshit hammerhead calls a "post", and it reminds me of why I don't come around much anymore. Every time I do, there's always a reminder, but that one takes the cake.

Tell me hammerhead, what is it that makes you so superior to everyone else? Just about every post you make is talking shit on someone or something. If it's not a rider, it's the Canadian MX scene, it's something else. Does being a fucking real estate agent who's probably never worked an honest day in his life make you THAT much better than the rest of the world? Seriously asshole, go back to that shithole of a website you tried to sell a few months ago, and espouse your brilliance there. Your shit isn't getting it done here. Get a grip, but even better, get the fuck out.

I would think that the universal philosophy for any professional athlete would be to eliminate every aspect that would inhibit your ability to perform at the highest level of your sport. If you get beat, you would like to think that it happened because someone was faster than you, not fitter. That would apply to everyone I assume, and I would also assume that Josh Grant trains with this in mind, along with every other pro that lines up behind the gate.

Get your facts straight you idiot. He's won a supercross main at A1. He's always at the top for lap times.

Josh and his wife Ashley are really nice people. Don't know why you would bag on him, maybe jealousy?

ANY rider currently racing SX or MX would automatically be top 5? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha YOUR SERIOUS? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ANY RIDER? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

That is as ridicoulus as saying that you can throw ANY rider on a factory bike and they will get a top 5.

probably not.. due to Aldon having Roczen (future championship material) and RV (current championship material)... but i don't think it has anything to do with Grant's 'tude. my opinion and you're free to have yours

I think if Josh paid him what RV pays him he would. Also, if Josh had the right people pushing him he would probably actually do pretty good. He has a family to support, he doesn't have a choice.

Ditto here....
Clearly Josh has the speed. If he hasn't been hampered by naggin injuries, he's on the mend from them.
That aside, I've wondered to myself what it is with his seemingly unwillingness to take his training to the next(animal)level.

I definitely dig Joshs style....THAT he's got! Woohoo

I doubt if any riders lined up wished they were Josh Grant or had his talent. Roll another one...

His previous post was a steamer, as is much of this thread.

It's all speculation. Good for bench racing, but not for arguing.

Would/could Josh benefit from a trainer like Aldon? Yes. If he's willing to do the work, commit to the changes in diet, etc.

It also comes with a large cost monetarily. Would he be down for that? Who knows? Given some of his past history with getting ripped off, if I were in his shoes, I'd probably hang onto all my money as tightly as I could. Also, part of what RV buys is a certain amount of exclusivity from Aldon. He'd have to agree to it (like he did with Ken).

Unfortunately, Josh would also benefit from not hitting the ground, and having current and past injuries gathered from throughout his career. Sometimes those can be a hindrance to a training program. Only Josh knows for sure if he thinks it'd help.

RC,RV and JS all had a shit ton of race wins and multiple titles before they got with Aldon. In fact RV in his first 450MX race went tearing through the pack to go 1-1 without him. I think while Aldon is the best in the business he is overrated a lil bit. He has had a lot more riders work with him than just those few top top guys.

Fucking love that video.

I don't think Grant could do the "over-training" thing. I think he's got raw talent, and definitely works hard, but he just doesn't see me as the Aldon Baker type.

Post a reply to: I really think if Joshua Grant had a Aldon Baker as his trainer...
