apparently hilly didnt watch bubbas world...i guess LB looks like a genius for stepping in front of js7 before he could hit that ramp..where was he when josh was flippin..it wasnt a big secret. i live in fl. and i'm not in the industry and i still saw the you tube videos of josh flippin into the foam pit, brooks or buttonfly or SOMEONE had to know what the kid was up to..i know he's a kid and blah, blah,blah but , come on, step up..i saw brooks press release where he said "i told you so"..i'm sure that made josh feel special,laying there with a broken femur and scapula and whatever else..if bubba had tried to flip or if reedy had tried when he was with l&m, brooks woulda been hangin off the back of the bike when it hit thr foam pit..he might not be the "million dollar man" but he kept san manuel and yamaha in front of the camera throughout most of the supercross season. it sucks for everybody, especially josh. there are hundreds, maybe thousands of people in the world who can flip nowadays, how many are there that can run 2nd in 4 or 5 consecutive rounds of the ama monster energy supercross series?? josh, if its any consolation, on the video i saw you had it dialed.

My take away from all this is how good the freestyle guys are these days. Josh Hill has serious bike skills and he just proved how dangerous, upside down moto riding actually is. So at xgames when rider like Adams and Rebeaud are flipping and pull a multitude of variations on the flip, I will definitely have more appreciation for their skill. Get well Josh Hill, needless to say but ouch!
i'm not tryin to bag on brooks or josh, but it just seems like as big a deal as brooks made about bubba flippin, its ironic that his other guy is now all busted up over the same thing. get better soon josh! could anything have been done or was he gonna do it no matter what?
