What do you guys think of this. Does he have the intensity of the younger guys?

We only saw JH's real talent for a few races when he was matching Reeds pace & challenging JS7 for a few races. If THAT JH comes back it will be a great thing to watch.

I absolutely believe he adds to the sport. Line it up Josh, let’s see what you have left in the tank.

Some top 5's and putting it on the box a few races as well as the possible win, because, well its supercross.

That would be cool. Really enjoy watching Hill ride. I could see 3rd to 8th place fairly consistently. A win might be a big ask but other then the Star guys I can’t see a bunch of dudes in that class completely working Hill on the regular?

Do it.

I think you guys are optimistic on his chances. He's fast but hasn't raced in a long time, and he only had one top ten in his last year in the 450 class, five years ago. I think it will take him a few races to get going.

I like josh a lot and it looks like he’s riding well. I would consider top tens good and if he was able to get a top five that would be awesome I think. Talent for days the hills have but it has been awhile since he was lining up for a series so I think it might take a bit but he will show flashes of the old hill. Good luck brother I’ll be rooting for yuh

I was almost positive they do test for recreational drugs also. But I could be wrong. Would be cool to see him on a podium after all this time. Sounds like he loves North Carolina and I can’t argue with him on that choice.

Intensity of the younger guys? Well, no. He really doesn't even have the intensity of the older dudes (Brayton/Reed/Tickle).

What Josh does have is a ridiculous amount of skill. So much so that he should be about as worried about the 250 kids speed right now as is Dungey But something makes me think Dunge is doing A-OK and not considering the issue too heavily right now.

He has the intensity in the vid. Just don't know if he can do it consistently during the whole main instead of just a couple sprint laps.

According to that link, they do. It's listed as a prohibited substance with the USADA and WADA. I thought the same thing a while ago til I looked it up. If they have a medical card, they can apply for a TUE.

I wouldn't be surprised if he wins Tampa, and I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't make the main. All I know is that it adds another exciting element to the season.
