Gun cross country rider Josh Donald had a nightmare of a race aboard his Honda CRF450R at round three of the 2016 Top of the South Cross Country Series where he began his day with a poor start. After catching and passing the entire field Josh suffered a series stalls, crashes and general misfortune which led to a battle for the lead that raged on for the entire race, reaching its climax in the last corner on the final lap.
Riding: Josh Donald - Honda CRF450R
Camera: GoPro HD Hero 4 Session

I hang out weekly for my MX fix in the american season, and I just found this channel tonight, from my own back yard. This kid charges the shit out of this track, and the 2 smoker was no slouch either...but the added commentary and lens wiping at high speed was the winner on the day....especially the commentary.

The rider on the YZ(who is kill'n it too musta thought, what the hell, I just shook this guy on the 450 off like 4 different times and bam here is again out of nowhere....wtf!! Hahahah you two were dueling it out pretty good.Nice job, this kind of racing is sooooo much harder than it looks to a casual observer because as the laps go on the terrain gets worse from the ruts and your body deteriorates really bad from lactic acid, then the bike gains like 50 or 60 extra pounds of mud, your hands are slick as snot from being covered in mud and you can't see shit out of your goggles...and then there's always the lappers lol
