#motocross #racing

Your not a full time racer and you qualified for a National on a 350! No reason for embarrassment.

Fantastic effort Josh! To qualify and finish both races - without crashing - is no small thing, especially while you hold down a full time job, a no-doubt busy one a that. Colour me impressed!

[CWB]

Nice work Josh! You finished all 3 Moto races you were in, that is pretty awesome considering you don’t ride at race mode constantly! Great video!

Probably not one of the best tracks for 350, heck of a job 👏 tks Mxa and Josh

[shawnhorne]

I noticed in that start you stayed with Anderson 350/ 450 in qualifying 😊

Tony Cairoli won a world championship on a 350

Nice race bike you have there... I'm stoked for you that KTM and all of your sponsors hooked you up. Red Line sponsored my brother throughout our MX career and it's hands down the best oils and fluids! Gratz on making the main. 👍

That was really cool, just qualifying on a 350 against the best racers in the world shows the bike skills you have Josh, can’t wait for Hangtown this weekend ❤🙏🏁

[esdrehtsich]

Josh really is the man !

I understand: you always compare yourself with your best results, but those were also results as a full-time racer! I personally was extremely impressed by the performance on the 350 with the preparation you had !
Especially since you certainly weren't training 24/7 during the preparation period because you also had another job.

I hope we see another video like this 👍

[darrellmabry]

Good job. I think you actually answered a lot of questions people have been wondering about. Great effort for not having a lot of time training

[Steezy_Mx]

I was rooting for Great job Josh!!!! Great Story

[fastfast]

Very cool you are qualifying. If I were to go back in time when I raced my second career in 25+ and senior classes the 350 would be perfect. Extra power without the extra weight. Thanks and good luck next week!

[Braaap]

Pretty damn cool that you do stuff like this. Thanks for the video josh! Youre the man.

[ryanjspinks]

Pretty impressive bro, see you at Hangtown!

[WildNZ]

Qualified for a Pro National on a 350 when you don’t race full time.
Awesome work man!

[danusually]

It's mind boggling how fast those guy's are in front considering josh is a weapon on a bike himself...

[stoniemahonie]

Tony Cairoli won a MX GP Championship on a 350 So it's absolutely possible

[nate]

nice to see my 2 fav moto youtubers lined up next to each other you and jeff walker

[elpuppyjr]

I think it would’ve been better on a track that wasn’t so high speed but regardless it was impressive watching qualify on 350!

2007 MXON - RV whooped the whole 450 class on a KX250F (he went 1-1). Yes, 350s can absolutely be competitive, what they lose in grunt they gain in handling.
