JOSH GRANT
JG33’s lifestyle is hard to sum up in words. His undeniable talent on a dirt bike is impec- cable. Grant joined the profes- sional ranks early and was immediately targeted as an elite lites bike rider. All things seemed to be going Josh’s direction, he accomplished his dream of racing professional at a young age, and he was one of the top, if not top paid 250 rider in history. The light wasn’t as bright as it seemed, as there was trouble within the family, causing a lot of stress in the young stars life. Since Grant has overcome many obstacles that would leave others scratching their heads. “The Grizz” started up a clothing company named Happy Living The Now – HLTN which has quickly become a favourite for not only the dirt biking community but also the whole boarding community. Josh was left without a ride in 2016, and had no intentions on putting

a privateer effort together. He was approached by a good friend about going on a fishing trip but the conditions were that Grant would have to race Daytona Supercross. After sitting on the couch for the whole season while everyone was in full race mode, Josh came out to the roughest supercross track and scored
a top 10 finish. It wasn’t much longer until we seen Grant filling in for Will Hahn on the Monster Energy Kawasaki team and is staying with the team for the 2016 motocross championship. I know that
I am not the only one who wants to see Grant continue on Kawasaki 450 for 2017, goodluck #33.
