Here are a few snippets from an April 2013 interview inFreeRide Magazine.
"That money (the $1.7 million), I have nothing toshow for it as we speak," says Hansen. So where did it all go? "Oh myGod, I had Bentleys, Lamborghinis, Range Rovers, Mercedes this, Mercedes that,dude I was a ****ing idiot. I would hate Josh Hansen if I was back then. I wasa douche bag, but I ran it, it was fun. I was living in a dream world."
“It got heavy, dude, I got into doing bad stuff. I wasliving like a rapper.” When asked if that meant drugs, Hansen says yes: “Yeah,I definitely went down that road for sure.
“I was an idiot. I was a complete idiot. That’ssomething I wish I could go back on. It’s crazy. I was a ****ing douche bag. Iwas so stupid not to do anything with that money.
“It seemed really easy to make money back then, nowit’s really hard, it really is. Man, I took it for granted back then becauseyou think it comes so easy.”
While that time of his life is pretty much a blur,Hansen does remember it was a hell of a lot of fun. “I definitely had the mostfun of my life. I probably did what a lot of the people in the world haven’tdone. If I die tomorrow I went out like a G for sure, haha.”
In 2004 he won his first supercross race and in 2005he came agonising close to the 125 East Region title – tying with GrantLangston. "It's kinda a trip because I've tied for a championship. I'm theonly guy in history that's tied for a championship, it's kinda lame."
"I guess a lot of people can hate on me or what,but at the end of the day I've been doing it my whole life. I've made somewrong decisions, but it's one of those things I definitely want to turn around and there's still time... I just need to get on it."
