Blunt USA Announces 2nd Team Rider

Blunt USA announced their first Team rider earlier this month, which was Erik Feenstra. A rider who has been underrated for far too long. Well one other rider who has an insane amount of talent and dedication, but has never got the chance he deserves is Blunt's newest rider...

Josh Young


Josh has been riding for a longg time. He had a pretty rough start. Like a lot of riders before him, he didn't have anyone to ride with and spent most of his time in his driveway riding his own set ups. Seems like the riders that start out this way end up being pretty amazing later on (Jordan Jasa anyone?) Josh has always had a really strong BMX influence in his riding, and it really shows now. Like his Team mate Erik Feenstra, Josh is one of the leading peg riders in the sport. Josh and Erik both ride street with a really distinct style. It's also Josh's dedication and passion for riding that is one of the main things that sets him apart from other riders. He puts everything he's got into his riding and whatever trick he's trying. That's why the newest rider to join the Blunt Scooters Family, is none other than The Boss Himself, Josh Young.


Check out some past videos of Josh below. Most of them are REALLY old, but still showcase his signature Josh Young style. Also, if you want new footage of Josh, you don't have to wait too long because he has a new edit coming out very soon.

    Just so everyone knows...I am not just choosing guys based on how good they are. Yeah that plays a big part, but there are also a lot of other factors that I consider when choosing new Team riders.

    Keep the applications coming guys...I must have gotten like 20 just in the last couple of days haha. Good stuff.
