Maybe he's having a Ricky Bobby year and needs some time to get his speed back aka step in the car with the cougar. I'd say a vid with him blasting on a DH bike is a good sign
@RedBurn: Thing is did he ever travel to WC's by himself in a car? Did he pilot his own plane by himself? Doubt it. I mean I didn't see any planes doing sick jibs in the sky, but then again I don't always look at the sky. The vans, cars and planes will still drive and fly whether he is on it or not. So doth he save the polar bear? Ney, I beggeth to differ.

Last of the old school genre.Won the WC overall with pure talent no crank bending compared to the gym busting robots. No taking away from the rest they're awesome athletes obviously but it just wont be the same without him.
What an absolute talent. He always looked like he was taking it easy until you saw him railing corner or pinning a rock garden then you really saw how good he was.
@thenotoriousmic: @thenotoriousmic: "..how good he was"??? he is a live and he didn't stop riding, he is probably more gnarly today....who knows he might do some WC events this year if he feels like and good for him to have that privilege thanks to his talent/personality. the best of all he gets to stay with santa cruz only to have fun on the bike
The Rat to me seems to be a complicated guy. On the one hand he's the fun loving party animal that just embraces life. On the other hand he really truly is an environmentalist who actually cares about the results of his actions. It takes a tremendous amount of fossil fuel resources to truck a WC team like the SC Syndicate around the world. It's not just him personally being on the plane or bus etc. there is also the incredible pressure involved with being an athlete at that level. On the other hand he's an incredible talent who truly loves being on a bike and promoting the healthy lifestyle that goes with that. So... being a brand ambassador for SC is a perfect way for him to lower his carbon footprint, manage to feed himself, and still engage in the sport and lifestyle that he loves so deeply. Inspire of the fact that he's difficult to understand because of his extreme accent, and because of his party animal persona, Josh is neither stupid nor amoral. He is possessed of both a conscience and a brain.
I enjoyed the fact that Rat was excited about a cheese and ham toastie at the end! Lol...What a legend...always was my favourite to watch and will be missed! So much style!
He will race again finduro or WC he will be back I think he is pissed off and needs a rest ,ten years since he was seventeen ten year racing ,WC wins and should have Been world champ, couple of years the older you get time goes quicker will it be shall I have one more bash , personally I think his foot is still gyping him he was unstoppable end 2014
Fux sake can't even say good things without gettting down voting here load of pretentious pen pushers he's into chilling out I may think there is more and wish there's more racing to follow but hey ho if not .

You've received one too many neg props, thus meaning both your beloved arrows are now a depressing grey colour.
If you see this click the grey arrow that points in the downward direction.
