About Josh Hansen
Many have said that Josh was destined for championship since birth. With a combination of God-given talent and world-class mentorship from his father, renowned former national and world champion Supercross rider Donnie Hansen, it's no surprise that he quickly rose to greatness. In January, renowned motocross coach Mitch Payton selected Hansen to ride the West Region for the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit team. Making what many have called a comeback after a hiatus from racing in 2009, Hansen finished at the top of the season, winning the final round of the 2010 Supercross West Lites series at Salt Lake City, placing second at the AMA East/West Shootouts in Vegas, and concluding top 10 overall. Today, Josh is regarded as one of the top motocross riders in the world, having won numerous national and international titles, including two gold medals at the 2008 and 2009 X Games motocross circuit.
