Josh Hansen has always been a whip master and has proven so by winning Xgames “Best Whip” three times. He also had a lengthy career in motocross and a short stent on TV (The Hills), where he became a well-known name in the industry.  In 2005, Josh tied for the championship in the Supercross series but was outed overall based on previous race results; Grant Langston would become champion. His career racing would continue until 2017, and he now enjoys his time free riding and doing select events.
