200ft jump on an electric dirt bike

[@jamesreynolds5721]

I met josh hill at ironman in 2023. It was an awesome experience. Hes such a nice down to earth person. Thanks for being so dope!

[@fugginrambo]

Definitely one of my favorite dudes in moto. I always wonder what his career would've looked like without his backflip crash. That absolutely changed his trajectory, I'll always remember cheering for his 450 SX win when he had the track banner wrapped in the rear wheel. I was so afraid of it locking up and sending him over the bars.

[@keithtarrier4558]

Indeed. Got to hang a little with him at AusX Open in Melbourne Australia, 2019. Coolest dude!

[@travisfletcher900]

Josh and Justin are both super awesome dudes! Huge fans of those cats!

[@stevenspace]

I met Josh hill at a bar on thanksgiving day like 8 years ago

[@kelevra558]

Brother you're such an inspiration. Seriously. Thank you for being who you are, Josh. Thank you for showing all the 35+ year old pro vets if you work hard enough, have the support of your loved ones, and ride a Yamaha a man twice the age of every other dude on the gate can top 10 professional AMA motos. So fuckin much respect Hill. You're the fuckin man brother.

Thanks for the kind words! Still having a blast on 2wheels

Unreal!... congrats Josh, a pioneer of eletric stuff @ MX... 🏁🥽🔥😎

[@yeahok115sure]

Damn that hit was huge! The one thing I actually like about how quite those electric bikes are, is I can can hear what a pro does with braking and plopping the throttle while scrubbing and hammering the rhythms

[@joshhill75]

When you have multiple friends on them I swear the lack of motor noise makes riding even more fun. You can talk and yell while riding and hear each other crystal clear. When you’re battling you can hear tires cutting through dirt and know how close you are to each other.

[@rider573]

@@joshhill75 Has Stark talked about adding sound feedback to the bike? Maybe a tone that changes based on a mix of wheel speed and motor amps? Might help out on judging speeds.

Wow Josh you have hit a lot of different jumps, terrain, hils etc. It's aways a pleasure to watch you ride, from the climbs to jumping fences at the Deegan compound and back to supetcrosd you and your brother prove moto runs deep in your family.Glad to see both of you still hitting it hard that was aassive hit it was awesome to see you do it your commentary in your intro explains how dangerous and epic that hit is and was great job, and thanks for sharing with the couch potatos admiri,g what you are accomplishing in your life.

[@abpob6052]

It's so interesting hearing the tires flex and whine and bite under the load as well as all the other things you don't hear on a gas powered bike.

[@Unitedstatesgov598]

my man your just making up stuff to hate on electric. nowhere in the video did the tires flex, whine, or bite.

[@dickfitswell3437]

​@@Unitedstatesgov598how do you know? Maybe the sound of a tire flexing is different for the two of you. He was hardly making stuff up and not even coming close to "hating on electric." I think you do hear the tires flex and grip because there is so much torque and it being ⚡⚡ electric you hear what tires sound like. They sound somewhat hollow, which they basically are hollow but you get to hear it grip and the torsion created. You also hear the shocks slamming, tires making contact again after a big jump, the fairings banging against each other. That is a whole lot of getting used to after riding ICE for 25yrs then all the sudden you hear it all. So he didn't hate on them but I will. I think making ELECTRIC dirt bikes is the dumbest idea ever. You can rebuild a internal combustion engine for almost ever but once these batteries die, you have to fork out another 5-6 grand for batteries and not to mention the fire hazard. If there is a pile up after the hole shot and electric bikes battery takes a nasty hit and it bursts into flames and you or someone is under the bike then your getting burned worse than a gas burn and better hope someone doesn't spray water on an electric fire. Plus they emitted thousands of metric tons of fossil fuels just mining for the metals used in batteries and likely a green new deal child slave used his little bitty child hands for 16hrs digging in a child slave mine just so someone could get an E Bike, post a video, then get rambling comments like this. Waste.

[@robertgraves7774]

Almost lost the #13 jersey mikes😅 That's my favorite one as well.👍 Big send. Was just at Eugene (territorial) vintage race yesterday. Like your posts.

[@bricewiese5082]

Josh is riding in a video game

[@jaydalton]

I heard you say you turned it down before the first hit. Do you normally stick to a certain HP number or are you adjusting it often?

[@joshhill75]

I tried to match the hp of my 450 on the computer. But that wasn’t enough power, it seemed to fall flat on the take off. So I put it in alpha mode 😂

[@tex211]

So all those big jumps were 80hp? Did you find you started to get a feel for how it works on the bigger jumps? Really dry track would have been an extra challenge too I'm sure. What regen were you running in alpha mode? The full 100%?

Get in a verbal altercation with your fingers LOL love your attitude man keep up the great work!!

[@keithtarrier4558]

Awesome. Dude... you are THE MAN! I would assume, that Stark may in future have a special mod fo FMX guys, who are very skilled, like Josh and recently Coby Raha etc and have options for the power deliver to suit a big jump. Big whip, ramps and so on. Yeah, they sound a bit odd, like a RC car... we will get use to it. But if they could find a way to make them sound just little better, not a speaker/recording, but some small thing that just makes a sound with more a bass feel to it, the transition from gas to electric would be better/easier. Battery tech has improved more than 2-3X in the past 15 years. In 5 years... or less, a full MX outdoors, 30+ 2 moto will be no problem!

Great videos. U should do a video of basics on supermotocross. for the women and casual fans. They dont understand how extremely hard this is. Like how u have to get both wheels on a 2x4 rut and jump a bus and land both wheels into a 2x4 again. Just the depth of how hard it is. U make it look easy. Great job!

Never thought or considered much about how much noise the tires on hard pack made until watching this.

[@selcosucks]

He can almost make it sound like a 2 stroke on volume 1-100

race tracks that have noise limits after a certain time at night, can run electric bike classes a little later than normal.

[@bmxscape]

reminds me of the sound of fat tire bicycles like you can hear the echo of the tire bouncing inside of the tire or something idk its a unique sound

[@joshhill75]

2 strokes sound the best, not debatable. But the noise you hear when riding is mainly tires cutting through dirt, and I love it

[@saleenr6]

did you notify FAA prior to the jump?

[@C-24-Brandan]

Super impressive & really cool to watch .. but just something about the sound & smell a 4 stroke and or a 2 stroke makes that can't be beaten/replaced.

[@tiagom.santos1113]

Well done.

[@mrrandom55951]

So you went with the foot rear brake option? Do you think that is better than the brake where the clutch was? Seems like I would prefer the rear brake pedal as well.

[@joshhill75]

Break peddle is just second nature to me. I lock my foot underneath it in a lot of situations too. I’ll admit the hand breaks are pretty fun too, but i find it takes more effort to use when I’m trying to go fast. It’s great for tighter tracks tho.

[@travisconover4762]

I can't believe this is real this e bike rips.

You should ask the AMA if you can ride the Varg in the Supercross series for no championship points.?? We would finally find out where it fits in. Doug Henry on the 400. You are already a legend, but how rad would that be. Sometimes gotta do it!

my verbal altercation

[@andrewacton5885]

Learning how to hit jumps without noise or gears is definitely nerve racking

[@MVPever]

@ 3:33 you mentioned that you couldn't sit down because of how bumpy the track was: I've learnt, from the video of another pro rider, that in those situations sitting may be possible provided you push on the footpegs with your feet to dampen the shocks and I, as a slow amateur, feel that doing so helps a lot and increments the number of situations when I can sit. I guess that you tried that but it wasn't enough, right? BTW I am a Varg owner from northern Italy and, despite the fact that I don't enjoy much being a spectator, now I'm tempted to buy a ticket; it's a little expensive, though... surely I'll watch a video about the FastCross if you will publish it. Anyways good luck and show everybody what a Varg can do!

I dont think Josh needs your riding tips.

[@MVPever]

@@SOLDOZER I know he doesn't: I admitted myself that I am a slow amateur. On the contrary, I was asking for his comment about that tip.

If you haven’t ridden a stark, that shit is scary fast. I’ve ridden pretty much every street and dirt bike know to man, and the stark is by far the fastest. Faster than a Ducati, faster than an H2’s faster than a hayabusa. The power is almost too much for the dirt.
