JUSTIN BARCIA
Everyone who is involved it motocross in any way has a favourite YouTube video, and a lot of those people love the Justin Barcia edits. The very popular rider is known for his aggressive riding style and ability to throw some of the biggest whips and scrubs in the game. BamBam is also known for letting other riders know what he thinks about them on and off of the track. Barcia made his professional debut at Glen Helen Raceway and boy did he come out swinging, leading around 20 minutes of his first ever race against the best the world has to offer was nothing short of amazing. Since then Justin has won a few Supercross titles on the 250 machine for Geico Honda and has been close in the title hunt for a motocross championship more than once. Honda was a big part in the success that the #51 has had, but after a so so year Barcia and his long time Honda sponsor parted ways and Justin made his way to the JGR Yamaha team. Joe Gibbs Racing is not the factory Yamaha team and rumours have it that they may be switching brands for 2017.
