Josh Grant for 2009

I have been watching Josh Grant for a few years now, he has had horrible luck and nasty injuries all during his lites career, but I think 2009 on the big bikes is finally his time to shine. I predict a top 5 both indoor and outdoors if he stays on the bike. His luck has gotta turn sometime.

I would think training is even more important on the big bikes.

If he can't keep a 250F on two wheels I doubt the 450 will help him. And the competition in the 450 class is much deeper next year. Hope he has a epiphany and makes drastic changes to his program. He is very fun to watch. Amazing talent and speed for 2 laps.

he has unreal talent. hopefully his jgr ride will get him in top 5. its a 50\50, he could go either way, for better or worse. hopefully better. i really enjoy watching him ride, i love that vid of him at langston's place when he hits the quad. crazy skills!

I don't think luck has much to do with it. He's definitely really talented.

I think he would ride a 450F better, doesn't have to ride it on the edge all the time.

I think the 450 will actually settle him down a little and he will probably be a factor on it.
he for sure has flow .

At southwick this year he rode hard every lap of sat practice, and was flying sunday until his crash. He seems to really want to win. He's come a long way from his first year in the nationals where i ate breakfast next to him and his dad at mcdonalds before southwick.....

Saying Josh will be the first guy to jump anything in a class with JS, Reed, Alessi, BT and even KDub is just as crazy as sayin he'll be top five against those guys.

He might grab 1 or 2 top fives but that's it.

Good luck to the kid though he's got a huge future

Maybe you didn't get it. On his 250f, he was always the first to try anything, he is known for that. Similar to KDub last year in the 450 class stretching sections out, he was typically the first to try. I didn't mention anything about results, just saying the kid aint scared.

I predict flashes of brilliance, monumental fades, and being parked by the big boys on numerous occasions.

The big boy's ain't gonna park Grant.

Grant don't play and alot of the big boy's will be giving him plenty of room.

I don't think he's gonna be fit enough or in control enought but he's gonna lead a race or two......count on that.

Speedwise he'll be top 10 in times even with the full field there (no one injured to dilute results). Not sure where he'll finish in mains but he ain't no LCQ rider.
