Add another rider to World Supercross. Josh Hill joins Luke Clout in the SX1 class for the Monster Energy CDR Yamaha team. Aaron Tanti is locked in with them for SX2 and Kyle Chisholm is likely to be in as the other SX2 rider (albeit there are rumors he isn't signed yet and may have another option).



AUSTRALIA (August 9,2022) – Craig Dack Racing (CDR), the longest tenured and most successful team in Australian motocross and supercross history, is excited to announce Josh Hill as the team’s fourth rider competing in the FIM World Supercross Championship’s 2022 “pilot” season. Hill joins Australia’s Luke Clout (450cc) and Australian Aaron Tanti (250cc) along with fellow American Kyle Chisholm on the CDR Team.

“Competing for Craig Dack Racing on a global stage in the FIM-sanctioned World Supercross Championship was a historic opportunity to compelling to pass up,” said Hill. “Craig and the CDR team are going to put all four of us in a great position to compete for podiums every time out. We are going up against the best riders from around the world, so I am really looking forward to the challenge.”

Hill, 33, from Yoncalla, Oregon turned pro in 2006 and has one career AMA Supercross win and 11 podiums in the premier class. He stepped away from full-time supercross racing due to injury in 2015, but has become a fixture in the freeriding scene, while continuing to race supercross intermittently over the past several years.

“Josh brings valuable experience and an engaging personality to the team,” said Craig Dack, team owner of CDR. “We expect him to be in the hunt for podium performances pretty consistently. He’s a great addition to the team.”

“SX Global is incredibly excited to see Josh Hill added to our already extensive line-up of incredible international racers. Josh is arguably one of the most talented athletes on two wheels. He has a global following that spans multiple genres across the motocross, supercross and even his unique brand of freeriding content. We know fans around the world are going excited to see how he performs on the racetrack!” said Adam Bailey, Managing Director – Motorsport for SX Global.

Awesome. He’s a good dude and is super talented on anything with 2 wheels.

I honestly didnt read the whole post, but i wonder if he’ll be the first one to race an electric bike.

Just note that the majority of these riders signing with teams is only for the 3 race series, who the teams sign for next year remains to be seen.

You can look at what you said as a contraction.

"This series can't continue if these are the guys riding"

"Boy it's cool to see these guys riding. I can't wait to watch"

I agree. I'm glad to see guys like Seely, Brayton, Hill, and Musquin extend their careers. The more guys racing, the better imo! Wish RV would sign up!!




Some of you are seriously crying about having more racing to watch?? I don't get it.

This series is quickly becoming laughable. They are just filling the gate with any names that are still marketable. It’s the new arenacross series to me. Hope they prove me wrong.

The best thing is all you Americans that are saying that this is a second rate retirement series, guess what, you don't have to go. This is for us, we will take what we can get. We will welcome any rider to the gate with open arms, racing is racing.

Josh Hill is fun to watch ride a dirt bike, and he still looked good in his last return to SX. Having a guy like him definitely adds to the entertainment package -he'll be one of the first to try quads, etc. I saw he was practicing SX on social media, glad it was for a reason!

Thanks. I got to see him race local races around here before he went pro. When I was starting out racing on 80s he had just got on big bikes and ripped.

Elli and kenny will nearly be 100 precent of the interests over here . To say you would rather it without them is because you can to a SX when ever you want . For most people here .it will be there only ever chance to see Elli or Kenny race a SX

You can't quote a guy's post then just make up what he said. Def didn't say I can't wait to watch

I think most of the criticism comes from the sort of pompous attitude from the promoters claiming this to be the most elite SX series overnight when they’ve yet to do anything.

I’m glad the series exists and I’m glad riders are able to make money but they have a lot to prove before they can make those types of claims simply because it has the FIM World Championship stamp on its name. They’re also going up against both the MXGP and AMA MX series so I think it’s tough for any motocross fan to hope this series takes priority over outdoor motocross.

I've been saying the same thing and have been getting smoked for it....
