Q1 - Well then Josh, How has your 2007 season been so far??
Josh: Pretty good so far, a few ups and downs like most seasons but yeah pleased with most my results!

Josh: Well the rest of the european worldcups and a few SDA's the nationals and a few dragons!
Q3 - 29th in your first World Cup is pretty impressive to me, did you feel happy with that??
Josh: Well yeah i was really pleased, and also very happy for all the other british juniors who did good, it wasnt really like we were competing against eachother at that race, its hard to explain but it was pretty cool!
Q4 - Getting to train with Steve Peat, does he push you alot, or does he just let you progress in your own way??
Josh: Steve's presence usually helps you to ride a bit quicker than normal haha, but yeah he just lets me progress on my own!
Q5 - Do you have any other training when your not on a bike??
Josh: erm... Motocross bike? not really im always on some sort of bike.
Q6 - At the FortWilliam World Champs alot of people have you down as one of the favourite's to win Junior, who do you think is your main competition??
Josh: Theres a lot of juniors who im sure are very quick from other countries who i have never come up against, but i think here in britian we have a very strong field of juniors and always have. Rhudith, sam dale, joe smith and myself are the top few really i think!

Q7 - Do you have any preparation for racing??
Josh: I try to get plenty of sleep before races because i cant function too good when im tired. Other than that nothing really no.

Q10 - If you had one thing to change at every race, what would you change???
Josh: Dunno really, never really thought about it.
Q11 - You've grown a foot or two over the past few months, have you noticed any changes in your riding style?,
any advantages or disadvantages to being a bigger rider???
Josh: Yeah sometimes i go really bow legged and stuff because im taller now and when i see pictures im like " shit im not that tall!!!" Im stronger now though also so that helps a bit but ive always been able to throw my bike around ok!
