Josh Hines # 135 

Marylandmotocross.com:  We are here at Blue Diamond with one of Kevin Duffy’s inspirations of all times, Josh Hines.
 
MM.com: Your name
JH: My name is Josh… 

MM.com:  Well Josh, if that IS your real name, what’s your number and what type of bike do you ride?
JH:  My number is 135, I ride a YZ 125 and a YZ 250 - Two strokes. 

MM.com:  What’s this crap that Kevin Duffy was complaining about his “hero”, you, quitting?

JH:  Well… I quit… right before the Regionals and my parents said that if I didn’t ride, I’d have to pay back the money for all of the qualifiers I raced.  I made it to Nationals, so now, I’m riding.   

MM.com:  Sounds like a big conspiracy theory if you ask me, so what happened, did you just get real frustrated?

JH:  Yeah… I was just real sick of everything, but now everything is cool, so I’m back in  action. 

MM.com:  Okay.  So your whole family pretty much rides.

JH:  Yeah, me and my brothers. 

MM.com:  Isn’t your dad Shelton?
JH:  Yeah, thats him but some people call him Sherman by mistake and that can stir up a real rucus.

MM.com:  Ain’t that the guy that always beats up Kevin Duffy

JH:  Yeah.  That’s him.

MM.com:  What’s the story on that?

JH:  He’s just crazy like that.  He just likes beating up on Grady. 

MM.com:  You mean Kevin?

JH:  Yeah.  Grady. 

MM.com:  Ohhh-kay.  So, do you brush your teeth?

JH:  (Surprised, puzzled) Of course.  Do you? 

MM.com:  If the mood takes me.  How long have you been doing motocross?

JH:  Since I was 4. 

MM.com:  Do you consider yourself an experienced veteran?

JH:  No.  Not really. 

MM.com:  You thinking about going Pro sometime?

JH:  Maybe. 

MM.com:  Is there anything you like or dislike about motocross?

JH:  I like the feeling that I get when I am riding and I don’t like… ummm… I don’t think there’s anything that I really don’t like. 

MM.com:  Ever been in a fight that broke out at a race?

JH:  No fights…at races. 

MM.com:  What word would you use to describe yourself when you’re racing?

JH:  Mmm…mad. 

MM.com:  How do you feel about girls racing in motocross?

MM.com:  Any special drinks you like to help you get going?

JH:  Just Gatorade and water.

JH:  I jog a couple times a week, I work out three times a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I am  at the gym, and I just ride. 

MM.com:  Kevin Duffy is always dancing and rapping at the track, what do you think about that?

JH:  The man’s messed up, he’s crazy. 

MM.com:  Do you think he’s pretty fly, for a photo guy?
