DC Moto TF Ride Day with Josh Hill

In the 2010 AMA Supercross Championship series, Josh Hill consistently found himself on the podium. He ended the season sixth overall in points, in which he finished second in 5 of the 17 Main Events. In July, Josh spent time preparing for the 'Speed and Style' event for X Games 16. His practice session went from 'landing a backflip on his first attempt' to 'under rotating the next time around.' This horrific crash sent Josh to the hospital with a list of injuries and a whole new respect for the sport of Freestyle Motocross. I caught up with Josh, at Pala Raceway for the DC Moto TF Ride day, where he talked about his rehabilitation, his plans for Supercross 2011, and more!

Angela: Hey Josh, you are looking good. How are you feeling?

Josh: Yeah I am getting better, everything is starting to heal up and I am getting to where I can function normally again. So it is getting better, but I need to focus on getting my body stronger. That is my main thing right now.

AMA Motocross Round 6 RedBud MX, Michigan Preview

It's round 6 of the 2011 AMA Pro Motocross National Championships. This week - Buchanan, Michigan at Red Bud MX.

In the ' Motocross ' class, the big three are Chad Reed, Ryan Dungey, and Supercross Champion Ryan Villopoto. Those three riders are dominating the series (as far as winnning motos and races) compared to anyone else in the class.

In the 250 MX Lites class, Dean Wilson is the series points leader as the series will conclude it's halfway point by Saturday night. Second in points is teammate Tyla Rattray. And their teammate Blake Baggett has shown incredible speed at many races. The Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki team has dominated this class.

And, back in action this weekend, the Women's class - WMX. At the top you have Ashley Fiolek and Jessica Patterson, who seem to turn almost every moto into their own personal battle.

Could Saturday's racing be affected by mud and rain? Don't know yet, but the day before it's been raining quite hard here, with lots of thunder and lightning. Tomorrow's weather forecast - 90 degrees, with afternoon thunderstorms. We'll see about that ... Supercross.com will have race coverage of both the men's and women's classes
