... this week end at the shoot out. He has à good momentum as we have seen in Santa Clara where he start waaaayyyyy behind to get 2nd place.

The last to times (Monster Cup and last year shootout) he came on this Vegas track, the only man who was able to finish in front of him was Trey Canard...

I hear what you're saying and I also expect that Oregonian to finish off with a win. Hopefully it's in the Main Event.

I had both my eyes open and could'nt see him.

A rider makes his own luck and Justin Hill aint good at that. Great rider, has the speed, the technical ability and fitness BUT seriously lacking race-craft.

Bummed for Hill this year, talk about shitty luck and weird wrecks. Hope he does better outdoor

I think there's only very few riders on the 250 that are as talented as he is. One of the most underestimated riders in my opinion.

Huge Hill fan, would love to see him string a championship run together. Sadly though, it seems he is more interested in the training and getting jacked, than the racing aspect.

Hill had some bad luck, but he also just wasn't the best guy this year. He came in claiming the championship and said he was in a hurry to race the 450 guys. Didn't win any races, had nothing for Cooper Webb this year.

Winning a championship requires more than speed or talent. Hill has plenty of both, but lacks the consistency to carry points through a season, at least from what I've seen. I'm a fan...but I don't see him winning a title, at least until some things change.

i think that he is deffo his brother's brother.... sometimes talent just isnt enough, you need smarts , and you need luck.

There have been better riders than him that havent made it. He can ride, but you have to string a season together before that count for anything.

I really like that kid and think he has the potential to be up front. If he could follow Marvin's example and practice with someone more experienced and faster than him it would do him a heap of good. I don't have a clue about his training regimen but he definitely needs a push or a pull from someone.

Funny how him and Matt B have had such similar luck, they hang out and work out together and both are great talents who grew up racing together and both keep end up having weird crashes- So proud of Matt getting a podium. Hopefully things will turn around outdoors for both of them.

Plenty of speed, heavily lacking in race craft! reminds me of Mike Craig.
