Pretty impressive. Some of his other stuff has been pretty ho hum, cut the track, get a long run and hold it pinned, land 3 jumps down the road. This one with the rollers before the take off is pretty sketchy.

Do they shut the track down when he does these stunts? Or is he just cutting the track when it looks safe?

Right? That ass end swap before the rollers on the first jump was pretty sketchy.

It's cool I guess? I don't really see the point of cutting the track getting the bike into 5th gear and hucking something that wasn't designed to work that way? I feel like it's not technically challenging...just a big risk. I've seen josh do much cooler stuff on a supercross track.

He could have cleared 52 busses and Ceasars Palace fountains at the same time. Only took 15 seconds. That beats Pastrana by 2:59:45 seconds.

Must admit, that guy should have had a lot more success at the races.

Funny shit Electro. Got squirrely so apparently the cross jump cancels out.

Must not be fast with a number like 751

If HE WANTED TO RACE

I think if he dedicated himself to training; he would be easy top ten to 7th in SX.

That being said he probably earns way more with his current M Gig. And he Doesn't HAVE to risk life and limb on the weekends. I still remember Minneapolis waaaaaay back. One of the most talented dudes on two wheels.

Sorry the subject line misspelled triple. It is very big no doubt about it but the double/table top is void. Build a jump and you will learn. 1 mound equals 1 2 mounds equal 2 aka “a double” #keepcommoncoremathoutofmoto

If you jump a 70 foot table top do you tell your friends you jumped a 70 foot single?

It has never crossed my mind to go and tell my friends that I cleared a tabletop.

The people throwing shade aren't looking at the massive gap before the table even starts.

Hill's balls are bigger than a garbage truck. Not sure where he puts them...

There is two smaller mounds between takeoff and tabletop there.

He looks comfortable, hips unlocked, sprocket bolts torqued to spec. Yep, all good! I like it!

Not technically challenging??

Try it and report back.

I wish Monster would use Josh to bring back the Kevin Windham supercross transfers for opening ceremonies. He could do a lap like RC or Nick Wey have done with the in-helmet mic, and then cap it off with a cool transfer to get the crowd going.
