In school we had media class I know sounds made up they told us to look right above the camera and picture it like your telling your best friend something their interested in
"Hey guys, it's Josh, I race and love motorcycles. I'm in a van right now with my Ducati, we're gonna go riding today out in Newport with orange county Ducati. Let's ride!!" You don't need anything more than that. Or do a teaser clip to start, short intro cut away, back to moto content. I'm happy to copy write for OF credits 😂
Dude- I'm 68, been riding crotch rockets for the past 44....and I KNOW ABOUT YOU! We appreciate the outreach- WE Want to help you make this thing successful. In the end, we ADMIRE your talent/abilities....and this channel is a part of that.
Hey Josh, my wife and I miss seeing yall at VIR and hope that Motoamerica will roll back through there next year! You have always been great to talk to at the track and we are pulling for you every race day. It's also totally cool that you street ride as well! You are definitely one of the most BAD ASS, wide open riders out there today! By the way, I just ordered myself a HERRIN #2 hat last week!..Keep it up wildman!!!!!
good shit. awesome to see ya out just cruisin around. way to finally get something for yourself with the tiedown set up. keep up the fun and hopefully me watching I will learn some more.. cheers.
I randomly stumbled across this video…but I absolutely already knew who Josh Herrin is! Talented road racer. I knew that much. Didn’t realize you were making videos though, so..subscribed.
Good to see you man! I've been a fan of your channel here on YT since you were on team BMW(hoping you'd come back 🙂). Always great to see your videos, keep them coming!
i have a sprinter van used primarily for transporting motorcycles, and i've used bolt-it-on but ultimately went with pit bull (but made a solution so i didn't have to drill the van at all). the best ramp solution i've found so far is a foldable, swivel ramp by national fleet transportation (NFT). it's a no drill ramp that attaches through bolts/threads only to the van and swings open like a door (into or out of the van) when not in use. takes up 6 inches against your door in the back of the van when folded. if you're invested in your sprinter and don't mind spending 10% of its cost on a ramp, this system is unbeatable (and makes loading / unloading enjoyable, believe it or not, because it's so satisfying and easy). look up NFT Swivel Ramp (by WM, they're italian, for your italian bike!)
As eveyone else, keep'n it real there is something to be said just roll with it..... On the flip side it's good to see ya happy and getting support from the brand, team it's a real effort, and the antics between you and your team are good nature ( well I think so LOL) and it makes for great entertainment along the excellent racing. Been watching racing for a while and some of the better times and some pretty rough ones for you.Really happy for ya and that building momentum. Best wishes on the season and continued success Cheers!
This is what made me back up a couple of times - 14:33 - probably barely registered xD Couldn't tell if it was a slide or downshift or both, but I puckered.
Well you and I have talked before and i have been following you for years.. You are still and always my favorite Rider.. but go get that dam championship.. you're on the right track so get it Josh.. love you bro..
With regards to the intro: My dude you are a racer at heart, not an influencer. Just do you and whatever you're comfortable with. Even just raw video of you riding without music would be great content. I wish you all the best!
Please appreciate how fucking cool it is to be ripping a Ducati around those canyons. That’s a ‘make a wish’ ‘jim’ll fix it’ experience right there 😂😂😂
I'm a sub since I've seen the R1 sliding on a compilation and went to hunt down your original video. I think you should just start introducing yourself with maybe some shorts of you riding in between but honestly whatever intro is fine because it is about you at the end of the day. Loved the old intro with the Seige song, that was dope af.
Every good video starts with an idea, a good idea gives you all the fuel you need to execute. It also gives you all the framework you need to tell a great story.🙏🏍️💨
Was GoPro on body harness for canyon ride footage? View wasn't particularly appealing to watch, sorry. Footage later from different viewpoint far better.
Awesome ride guys. Pretty jealous of those roads, nothing like that up here in central NY. Josh, come up to New York Safety Track this summer dude, id pay you for a day of coaching. Would be awesome to ride with you.
There was nothing wrong with how you started the video - in fact it was pleasantly interesting ….. Its all in the mimd dude, youre doing well keep it up
Dude. It's the worst! I have always struggled with the self confidence when filming videos, but I just posted anyways. This one felt way better! That's why I always used to film my intros with "what's up fuckers" but I eventually had some sponsors who complained about it.
Hey josh. Important question. Are there major differences between when you are riding on the street and when you are riding on track? Diferences between body possition, lines, lean angle, strategy, etc. I hear alot of people say do this on the track but not the street ... Id love to hear from someone who races at a high level but still rips it on the street. Glad to see that you're going to be posting on yt more.
You need to get one of those Max wrist camera hook ups where it comes off the back of the bike looks like third person so much better than looking at a gas tank
I recently went up Highway 39 to the Crystal Lake Cafe about two or three days ago. I was on a way heavier bike than your Ducati. I'd like to see more rides up Azusa Canyon when you have the time. Forgot to say something about trying some chili when you ride up to see Adam.
I’m not saying its your fault, but you signed my Blue R6 at Laguna Seca last Sunday… 15 minutes later it throws a rod bearing right before the last session 😢
Additional comment. Over. Currently Own a ‘23 model Streetfighter V2. In love with performance and its gorgeous looks. Over. In the process of trialing the V2 Panigale which is proving to be a step up in handling AND eye candy. All I need to convince the change is the wrist test….an afternoon ride and revisit the dealership for the next morning test ride to ensure my 60 year old wrists can cope with the racing posture required for the Panigale. One test already and I’m hooked other than the “next day wrist pains” that I’d anticipate. Hoping it’s bearable enough to take the plunge an go full on sports Ducati! Over.
Ahh, good old Azusa!! Was visiting almost daily back in a Days, through MaxWrist Videos. Anyway, you should go all the Way up, to "the Tree". Well, next time...
Always interesting to hear the mindset of someone like yourself. If I may suggest just open by saying "welcome back, today we are in " ". Just a thought to help slay the demon that our minds can bring up to kill our self confidence. And yes you are correct about most people do not subscribe to most creators channels, not sure why really. Have you done a tour of all your bikes in one place or your garage setup in general? That would be a cool video idea if not. I will check your backlog of video's, BTW I have been a subscriber for probably 6 or 7 years. Keep living life your way bud.
@@joshherrin IMO hearing your feedback about anything bike/ race related is interesting. Just like you mentioning the way you load your bike and why you wanted to get the right gear and what about that gear you liked. Most of us that watch you and other pro athletes only know small samples of why things are the way they are when you let us in. It is a win /win really because you grow your support base and we learn something we would have otherwise likely never known or heard straight form a top level professional. JMO of course. All the best.
One thing i was never comfortable witH ,wheelies ..aside from a lil lift when under power …so it always amazes me seeing long (not to mention shifting while one wheeling) drawn out ones .👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Nice! We used to ride bicycles down that road back to my grandparents house as kids in the '70's, what a blast. My uncle would drive us up and leave us be. In hindsight, we should have had helmets. Oh well, the good ol' days!
We know who you are Herrin... You don't need an into 😂. Id love to see you ride good roads all over the country. Hearing your thoughts on the ride, bike, advice is always interesting. This is exactly the stuff I look for.
Was Ducati upset about the only fans sponsor on the bike? 😂 btw I’m a king of the baggers fanatic, but your the only guy I root for on the sport bikes. Your personality and riding style are unmatched. This video shows how incredible your riding is seeing it off track.
Take some inspiration from shadetree surgeon, the top dog in the Florida motovlog scene, leader of brap star army. He says “what’s up weirdos” and just gets on with it. He’s also named Josh
Funny story: we camped at the last race last Sept., got soaked , wanted to meet Josh. When I was in the pits I finally saw him but he had just had a rough race and I could tell he was pretty upset so I just stood there like a little kid🤣. I don’t blame Josh at all, I wouldn’t have handled it as well as he did. Still it was awesome to see the races and all the riders!
If your doing CZcams josh it can be a lot of work .and yes pushing any bike backwards in a small space can be a little tricky .I'm 65 and pushing my old 2006 R1 superbike off and on the trailer can be a little tricky 😄.
I think you have two options for the intro and cutouts scene: 1. Talk to the camera like if it's a real person or even a crowd of people and you are showing something to him/them. 2. Being real, like if there is no camera filming you or you ar not filming, so act normally like you do when you do your thing and just let the vid show everything without your comment. Surely both have their type of audience and people have their preferences but also sure that whatever content you post or show on a vid, it's gonna have some type of audience, cos normal people like me can't live what you can... and obviously you are such a great person with good personality so... Just keep doing whatever you like, we'll watch for sure. 😜 (Sorry for maybe bad eng, italian here.✌🏻)
Maan, I'm about 15 minutes from these roads. If I had known you'd be up there, I would have taken my R6. Not that I would have been able to keep up with you. haha!
for the intro, just talk to us like we are your friends. because most of us are here because we love you.
It's still always awkward filming it though. Maybe I should make some cardboard cutouts. Or maybe do a live video at the same time I film my intros. 🤣
@@joshherrin😂😂
In school we had media class I know sounds made up they told us to look right above the camera and picture it like your telling your best friend something their interested in
Exactly
no diddy
Thank you for riding with us Josh! I hope I did not slow you down too much going up Azusa ;)
Definitely need to put that GoPro sponsorship to work and get a rear-mounted 360 camera so we can get that POV when you ride. 😁
Cool to see a pro have fun on the road with us mortals
"Hey guys, it's Josh, I race and love motorcycles. I'm in a van right now with my Ducati, we're gonna go riding today out in Newport with orange county Ducati. Let's ride!!"

No intros needed… keep it real like always. You have a great channel!
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback!
I definitely appreciate it man.
Just keeping it real and I like that 😊
Certainly helps newbies like me learn
A pro tearring up the streets is pretty unique and cool as hell. Keep them coming, Josh!
Love that you still enjoy road riding that’s awesome 👏🏼
17:20 "u can hear the water running down" man tries to pee in peace xD
I was thinking the same thing. lol
Glad I'm not the only one who caught that. 🤣

Brotha, I look forward to every youtube video. Keep up the good work man.
This is so rad!!!!thanks for showing us how it should be done
Wicked run and incredible bikes! Great vid
63 years old HD rider that has been a sub for years. Love you brother.
Back in 78 I moved out to California, my friend Larry took me up Glendora Mountain Road than down Azusa Canyon. Best rides we did!
I’m here because I grew up near Azusa Canyon and because I am not able to go there any longer, I love seeing it once in awhile, thanks for the ride.
The casual sliding at 12:10 😂
This is what made me back up a couple of times - 14:33 - probably barely registered xD
Couldn't tell if it was a slide or downshift or both, but I puckered.
CONGRATS ON DAYTONA!!!
Locked in for M.A.
Good luck this year!!!
Thanks for the support! Hope to see you out at a MotoAmerica race this year!
Super cool group ride. Looks like a blast.
That was sick seeing yall rip it in my backyard. Thanks for the content Josh!
Well you and I have talked before and i have been following you for years.. You are still and always my favorite Rider.. but go get that dam championship.. you're on the right track so get it Josh.. love you bro..
Good to see you back on CZcams.
With regards to the intro: My dude you are a racer at heart, not an influencer. Just do you and whatever you're comfortable with. Even just raw video of you riding without music would be great content. I wish you all the best!
hell yeah man!
love these videos
Please appreciate how fucking cool it is to be ripping a Ducati around those canyons. That’s a ‘make a wish’ ‘jim’ll fix it’ experience right there 😂😂😂
You are right! It is awesome! I wish HSBK Racing would hurry up and send me my exhaust! 😩

thats a beautiful gas tank. the paint is really good too.
I feel like you are messing with me because my GoPro angle was too low. 🤣
@@joshherrin just a bit 🤏
Every good video starts with an idea, a good idea gives you all the fuel you need to execute. It also gives you all the framework you need to tell a great story.🙏🏍️💨
holy crap Josh remembered he has a youtube channel! 😜
Intros you can always do a sneak peak highlight reel for the video then transition to just a hello and explanation of what the plan for the day is.
Alot of wind my friend, glad your back
Bro please post more on youtube love your content!
I’ve been subscribed for a while and can’t remember the last time I’ve seen your videos.

Awesome ride guys. Pretty jealous of those roads, nothing like that up here in central NY. Josh, come up to New York Safety Track this summer dude, id pay you for a day of coaching. Would be awesome to ride with you.
Josh! A fan of yours watching World Super Bike, firing it up the inside and taking home podiums. aye keep it moving bro
Hopefully you are watching MotoAmerica also! I make an appearance there every now and then.
There was nothing wrong with how you started the video - in fact it was pleasantly interesting ….. Its all in the mimd dude, youre doing well keep it up
Crazy how much I can relate to the start of this video. 💪

He little guy!!!
I like all your introductions.
Oral communication is not easy.
You do a good job.
😅
Loved the video, would love a chin mount on the helmet way more than the chest mount.
I've been watching you for a while. Love your content. Would love to ride with you if you're in Phoenix AZ sometime!!
Check out the pitbull trailer mount set up. Very stable. I use them for my motocross bikes, as well as my sport bikes.
Baxley wheel chocks or similar are very handy. More versatile than pitbull restraint system.
"Howdy Y'all, my name is Josh, I ride motorcycles very fast and have gigantic balls, but enough about me; look at this bike!"
Josh is the man.
I recently went up Highway 39 to the Crystal Lake Cafe about two or three days ago. I was on a way heavier bike than your Ducati. I'd like to see more rides up Azusa Canyon when you have the time. Forgot to say something about trying some chili when you ride up to see Adam.
What is your favorite sport bike for riding on the street? For a novice to intermediate rider?
I’m not saying its your fault, but you signed my Blue R6 at Laguna Seca last Sunday… 15 minutes later it throws a rod bearing right before the last session 😢
Was an awesome day !!

My heart skipped a beat when I heard Josh had an only fans. Only to be disappointed seconds later when I found what he posts.
Yep....sickening. He seemed like a guy with integrity. Pretty sad he's proudly putting their name out there.
Nice riding! Do you ride GMR , miss SoCal roads!
love your content dont stop. I will have to check out OFTv, your a real person, Tv is fake edit so we like to see the real, stay your course!
Can you load it forward thru the side door then strait to the back. Like a snowmobile trailer.
What a fun day of riding for the Ducati Riders of Orange County members!
Ahh, good old Azusa!! Was visiting almost daily back in a Days, through MaxWrist Videos. Anyway, you should go all the Way up, to "the Tree". Well, next time...

Thanks for coming out to the MotoAmerica races! Hope to see you at Barber on May 18-19
Dude "CONDOR WHEEL CHOCK" or "PIT BULL RESTRAINT SYSTEM" - check'em out !
I've seen them. I was looking for something that I didn't have to drill into the floor.
I put a 2/8 against the bottom of the seats. Put the front wheel against that!
Dang! I never thought of that! Good thinking!
Hey come down to cache county and ride our canyon, I think you’d love it!!
That wheelie was stupendous
Thanks for watching the whole video! 😉
The burnout at the end too 😂
One thing i was never comfortable witH ,wheelies ..aside from a lil lift when under power …so it always amazes me seeing long (not to mention shifting while one wheeling) drawn out ones .👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Hey Josh, do you know if OF is sponsoring any skydivers? I thought I had heard about someone getting a sponsorship from them - but I can't find them.
Azusa Canyon? That’s where Saiyan Army Motorsports rides. Dudes an animal.
Where can I buy one of those Herrin brake reservoir socks?
Yes Josh,get a small winch for the fan,help load it backwards 😎
“…Can hear the water running,” cue dude taking a leak
You're the MAN!!!
I am him. 🤣 Just kidding. Thanks for the support!

Go to Ortega hwy Josh and meet great sets riders at around 9am at the Lookout Restaurant.
Pull a Hole Shot ! Just don’t think just start off rolling ! They are good videos you do !
Come to oatman AZ do the sidewinder
You broke the ice dw it feels like we’re chilling with you on your channel
Take some inspiration from shadetree surgeon, the top dog in the Florida motovlog scene, leader of brap star army. He says “what’s up weirdos” and just gets on with it. He’s also named Josh
You should start the video here in Oahu, Hawaii
Hey Josh, those helmets will you ship them internationally? (South African, living and working in China here!)
Funny story: we camped at the last race last Sept., got soaked , wanted to meet Josh.

How do you get tickets to races? I'm a street guy on bikes but never been to a pro race
Bolt it on makes great products from hand , I had a set up myself. Good riding their in the mountains ⛰️
Cant see much, need a higher mounting point are you against a helmet mount?
😆 Who all knew the middle finger was coming before it came?

23:54 55 southbound... looks like Santa Ana... Ducatti bound, typical SoCal traffic😩
Let's rewind, back to Azusa😎
Had to show the struggles too! haha
Maan, I'm about 15 minutes from these roads. If I had known you'd be up there, I would have taken my R6. Not that I would have been able to keep up with you. haha!
