Saw a thread yesterday during qualifying about Hanny finding yet another way to clash with the AMA which resulted in yet another week of him not racing. Did the thread get clipped?? More importantly, wtf did Josh do this time to get himself clipped from racing??

It’s easier to deflect and cause drama than to admit you’re not racing because you’re not ready, and/or fast enough to qualify.....

I know a lot of emotional people who pull this passive aggressive bullshit on social media all the time. You can’t just X out the AMA logo without explaining why and think that everyone’s gonna be on your side about it.

Edited Date/Time:
He really gained a lot of my respect last year with all the work he was putting in (was it last year or the year before with that series he was doing?).
This type of shit is rapidly dismantling that.

Maybe some crayons and a safe space? His connections in the industry have given him every opportunity to be successful. yet still manages to screw it up.

Josh Hansen could have been amazing, but all he amounted to was the guy that either barely beat Dungey once at straight rhythm or just missed it. I forget where he won or not, because the race didn't really matter. But he could have been great.

You probably apologize for career criminals too. Give me a fucking break. What he’s been through he’s done to himself. UNLIKE most career criminals, he was dealt a hand full of aces and still folded.

As someone who watched Donnie win his Supercross championship, it's depressing to think he's old enough to have a 34 year old son.

He told me yesterday he was still hurt and wasn’t ready to race yet.
Then I watched him sign autographs and take pictures with every kid, woman and dude that came up to him. He talked to them, looked them in the eye and made their day.
But hate on him all you want while stalking his social media.

That does not go far enough in sports anymore. Look at Mookie. The dude is a media dream as far enough as autographs and social media. But he is not top 5 or outdoors so he is crap. Come on man think of the kids that look up to him every weekend.

Josh may have a different perspective on pro moto than many of you experts. His dad won a championship, got hurt, and was cast aside with a ton of hospital bills and no contract.

Listen to Matthes Donnie Hansen podcast.
I know Donnie and Josh, they are good people.
Not sure what's going on with Josh right now, hopefully things will improve.

Since this is a motocross forum, let's talk about moto. I watched hanny lose the west coast sx series a few years back due to his hand bring broken. It looked like hamburger- and yet he still rode through the pain and gave his best. If his hand had not been injured I have no doubt he'd had won the championship. Anyone posting done better than that? Does anyone know the inside scoop? Or are we just assuming the worst? I have no doubt Mr Hansen has regrets, maybe not but most likely he does. But now he's trying to get it right, got hurt, and for some reason he's no good. I don't know about you guys but I don't wish bad upon people, I'm better than that. Ya know why? Because I've got regrets. I'm no better than him. Or you. Only time I hate on people is if they screwed others over, crooks, rapists, pedophiles, shit like that. Maybe I'm missing something? Did hanny screw one of you guys over? Or does the forum now have teenage girls posting that talk behind each other's backs all day? Grow up
