Interview With Geico Honda's CRF250R Rider Justin Barcia

When GEICO Honda?s Justin Barcia clinched the Supercross Lites East Championship title in early May, it was the culmination of a lifelong dream. Barcia enjoyed a hugely successful amateur-racing career before transitioning into the professional ranks in the summer of 2009. Last year he finished runner-up in his rookie season in the Supercross Lites East Championship, and he returned in 2011 to dominate the East series. Despite racing most of the season with a broken wrist, Barcia finished on every podium, including taking three wins to clinch his first-ever Supercross title.

To find out what winning the Supercoss Lites title means to Justin, and to get his thoughts on his career so far, check out the Justin Barcia video available for viewing courtesy Honda.

DC Moto TF Ride Day with Josh Hill

In the 2010 AMA Supercross Championship series, Josh Hill consistently found himself on the podium. He ended the season sixth overall in points, in which he finished second in 5 of the 17 Main Events. In July, Josh spent time preparing for the 'Speed and Style' event for X Games 16. His practice session went from 'landing a backflip on his first attempt' to 'under rotating the next time around.' This horrific crash sent Josh to the hospital with a list of injuries and a whole new respect for the sport of Freestyle Motocross. I caught up with Josh, at Pala Raceway for the DC Moto TF Ride day, where he talked about his rehabilitation, his plans for Supercross 2011, and more!

Angela: Hey Josh, you are looking good. How are you feeling?

Josh: Yeah I am getting better, everything is starting to heal up and I am getting to where I can function normally again. So it is getting better, but I need to focus on getting my body stronger. That is my main thing right now.
