I've been following these Motosport videos featuring Josh Hansen since they began late last summer and I got to say Josh has really transformed himself. The first couple of videos portrayed Josh as a man with regrets and missed opportunities. The next few videos portrayed him adapting to a program of training and living a champions lifestyle. He seemed weak mentally and a bit broken by the commitment required to lead the champions lifestyle. You could see the strain in his face and his voice. Yet he kept with it believing those around him.

But this video, and Josh even says it, he has turned a corner and the benefits of working hard the past few months are starting to show. He sounds calm, at peace with himself and most of all he looks hardened, fit and focused. The goofy slacker stoner demeanor is slowly leaving him to be replaced by the actions of a man controlling his own destiny.

He looks to have surrounded himself with good people in Daniel Castloo and Ty Kady so credit to those guys for going to work for Josh.

Cant wait for A1.

Good for Josh, I'm a big fan of this dude. I hope he has a great season and stays healthy.

I wonder what kind of ride he would get if he won the title.
12/15/2014 1:30pm
Bring it 100

But come clean and race fair

Good luck

I think a top 3 in points at the end of the season along with displaying the right attitude during racing and in the pits will be considered 'winning'.

Yea i would just be curious. He avoids the nationals like the plague and he has to be at least 25 years old at this point. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Oh I thought he was talking future tense?

IF he had taken the title that year 2011? I don't expect he would have any better equipment right now.

I'm rooting for Hansen so don't get me wrong but he's been away a while, I'd love to see him race fair, hard but fair, and get some good results, the kids as stylish as the devil on a bad day.

I meant 2015. I would think he could figure out how to be more consistent than most of the younger guys in that class so I think he has a shot at it. He kind of seems like a Josh Grant of the 250 class. I wouldn't be surprised if he could pull off some good results. But who knows. It has been a while since he raced

Well I preferred the Hansen on the Hart team when he was riding the 450 opposed to the PC Hansen.

I hope that Hnasen turns up, but faster Wink

Fantasy league, he'll be in my team

He is 30. So it's gonna be a long season one way or another.

It would be awesome to see him take it to the factory guys. Who's doing his engine and suspension work?
12/15/2014 2:16pm
Sad that at 30 the fans or the sport regard you as old no?

I think theres 30, and then there is 30.

A 30 year old whos had an injury filled career is a different 30 year old whos never had a lot of injuries like Josh. Also, Josh has had a couple years now taking NO wear and tear on his body racing. As well, he spared his body of wear and tear by not doing the nationals all the years he was racing.

I see no reason he cant compete physically with the kids.

I was wondering the same. One might assume PC, but I wonder if it isnt being taken care of in house by Kawisaki. Josh mentioned in past videos of getting good support from Kawi.

By the way...I dig that big red Kawasaki on the tank. For some reason it reminds me of the 79 KX's

He's running an FMF pipe so I think PCs out. It looks like he is getting suspension straight from Showa. The forks have the same coatings as the Factory guys and they only have Showa stickers on them. Engines I would agree is probably in house from Kawasaki.

None of it means shit... When the gate drops and the checked flag waves is when we will all know who serious about their profession who is not.
A couple months of training is a complete joke in my humble opinion when compared to years of unadulterated, hardcore, No bullshit dedication....

Best of luck to Josh .......

It's a long season. Hopefully the old guy can take the punishment.

Very poetic and romantic post.

You make it sound like its such a struggle, such a noble quest.

He is racing a motorcycle. He won't win the championship. I'll be surprised if he finishes the series.

I'm not sure why anyone ever thinks it will be different with this guy. We've heard all this before.
