Josh Hill has had quite the journey on dirt bikes, going from minicycle racing prodigy to factory supercrosser, X Games competitor to down and out with injuries—and now he’s back in the spotlight as a test rider and content creator
WORDS: SAM NICOLINI
Josh Hill is a busy man. He is a part-time professional supercross racer, a part-time content creator for Monster Energy, and a part-time development rider for much-buzzed-about Stark Future electric motorcycle.
