Did I see Josh left mxa, along with Trevor Nelson? Thought Josh would make a career out of mxa.

I know another media outlet did the new Honda test with Josh. Not sure about him leaving MXA though.

Yes he started his own company but I can’t remember the name of it. Hold steady or something.

I saw this video and was a little confused as well! Makes sense he’d do his own thing he’s certainly built a name and brand for himself

Josh’s bike reviews are some of the best out there. Wishing him success with his new company!

I noticed this as well. I'm kind of bummed because I felt like Josh had the ability to bring back some of that old MXA glory. Say what you will about (the now 79 year old) Jody, but he built MXA up into something of an institution. Before RacerX or even "The Racing Paper", there was MXA. I think MXA needs to be preserved the way 2-strokes need to live on. Josh had the ability to make that happen. 

No disrespect to Daryl and Dennis but they don't have that "je ne sais quoi" needed in contemporary video-based media. The target audience has changed, as has the format for delivering moto-info. Hopefully they can keep it going for years to come. But they'll need to find some fresh blood. 

I do miss Jody. If he made some cameos in the MXA vids, that'd at least get some of the old guard more interested in MXA's content. He was polarizing but his role in the American motocross scene cannot be overstated. He was the only one who had the balls to speak up about Luongo, Srb and Youthstream's corrupt ways. I wish I could spend some time with the dude listening to his stories firsthand.

I am sure MXA will miss Josh but they will replace him and continue on, just like the last 50+ years..

Thought for sure that Jody would end up leaving the keys to MXA with Josh. Glad it ended on a good note—they are all good folks. Onward & Upward.

Yeah, me too. Not sure if it’s the changing environment or what. Seems like it was a pretty good gig at an established outlet. There are so many start up “YouTube” content creators it has to be hard to break through.

I thought he would be a lifer at MXA also. I hate that he has left but wish him nothing but success with the new venture.   Hope MXA can find a replacement as good as Josh.

I never even know who is truly an employee there. Daryl and Josh fout do a lot of videos, but both do other gigs, there’s the one whole family that does tests, Brian medieros, etc. but Josh and Trevor seemed like the only two “employees” outside of Jody.

First I have watched his reviews - this one is very well done from the videoing and information has me captivating - Very Tommy Tender like with the Lawrence's.

What would be ideal for that position:

  1. A guy responsible enough to be handed the keys to a C-Class motor home who can operate autonomously within the continental 48 and Canada. 
  2. A guy single and unattached enough to do it without domestic distractions. 
  3. A guy with a little mechanical understanding of the Motorcycles themselves
  4. Last on the list- just fast enough to put the bike thru the paces

In my opinion, that "guy" isn't a retired racer, it's a fast-ish mechanic. Someone has to have a practice mechanic who's been grinding it out, waiting for a shot at something. 

This way you get what you had with Mosiman, but it's not always in the parking lot of Pala.

Haha yess ... He was their guy roughly 94-97 after DeCoster left.  DeCoster was that guy/The Man from 93-94 between HRC and Suzuki.

My understanding is that Josh Fout is stepping up with some help from Dennis Stapleton. Both are solid riders, know their stuff, and will tell it how it is. Jmo was great with MXA, and he still will be at his new gig. So now we get both MXA and Hold Fast with solid reviews/opinions from two different sources. Should be a good thing for everyone.
