Is GNCC Racing as Hard as They Say?

In This Week in MXA, episode 166, presented by O'Neal, Josh Mosiman lines up for the 2024 Big Buck GNCC race in the Sportsman A 25+ class on the brand new 2024 Yamaha YZ450FX cross-country bike. Yamaha told Josh that he should race the 2-hour sportsman race first, before going into the deep end of GNCC racing and signing up for the XC1 450 Pro class. Josh has raced WORCS, NGPC, the 24-Hours of Glen Helen, SRA and other West Coast off-road events, but this was his first taste of GNCC racing. Two hours in the trees of Union, South Carolina, is no joke, and Josh found that out quickly.

Thanks for brining exposure to the gncc series. Two years ago i went to my first gncc at the John penton, and I’ve raced Moto my whole life, 30+A class… I haven’t raced a moto race since doing the penton. You get addicted to the suffering that comes with a gncc race and the atmosphere is like no other.

more gncc content please. thanks for showing our sport

[angiepolston]

Excellent video!!! Thanks for showing the other side of the sport. The first hit is always free. And judging by the smile, you're now addicted for life.

Its funny. I work at Yoshimura and we just made Stu Baylor's KX450 prototype exhaust for his program. I was seeing last season pop off and sorta got into it. After designing the Kawi pipe Im definitely much more into GNCC now. its pretty cool that all these extra GNCC videos are popping up just as I am starting to get into it.

Good job MXA. yalls make me wanna race GNCC now

Super cool to see you out there Josh! The 3 hour is no joke, but would love to see you out there at one this year!

I think it's really cool that Yamaha incorporated a race into their bike launch. Props to them for it

Man, that timing system is a dream! I've raced so many things in so many places, road racing, MX, flat track, velodrome bicycles, downhill skateboards, skis, snowboards, sail boats, you name it. I have NEVER seen a timing system that cool. Heck, most of the time it doesn't even work! I'm so impressed.

Huge Thank You to MXA for brining much love to GNCC. Maybe do a WORCS & /or GPin the future.
The sport (dirt biking) needs more exposure than just MX to help it grow.

I’d love to see the raw chest cam footage, and you should definitely do some more GNCC and/or National Enduro stuff. 👊🏻

I'm loving the more off road content and off road bike reviews. If nothing else...it makes the channel more well rounded.

[scottyboy]

Josh- you do just as good a job on these videos as you do racing!! 👍🏼

[zacherrin]

Loved to see you out there! Always cool so see someone so eager to learn the sport and give it a shot! You killed it!

One of the more fun “West Coast guys GNCC Racing” videos.

Nice work, Josh, and impressive to see that you were able to keep up with Brandy and some of the pro women for a while.

[Kawiboy]

Absolutely enjoyed your ride Josh. I've only done Moto during my 6 decades however you may have just peaked my interest in doin a lil woods riding. What a great event. Nice riding my friend. Looking forward to the next one ✌️😉

[gregroybal]

Awesome video!!
GNCC Looks so fun!
Impressed that you did so well your first time👍👍👍

[kraftysk]

This was a lot of fun to watch. Would love to see more GNCC content in the future!

The guy that you're talking about at the end was my good friend and riding buddy since high school. He has rods from L1-L5, a rod in femur, another rod in his lower leg & ankle, 2 plates on his pelvis, and is having trouble eating and also requires several more surgeries.

[scottfairbrother]

Absolutely loved every second of this video. Great job, Josh. That start was

[nosyjoe]

The Baylor boys keep a little more energy storage on them. haha

[JanASS]

So many genuinely nice people. Josh did a great job in the race and you guys are killing it recently with video content - it's not olny bike tests but there is a story to is. Thank you for great content.
