Vans Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Justin Hill headed to Toronto, Canada for the 2013 Monster Energy Supercross 250SX East series. With both of his teammates out with injury, the rookie Hill was flying the Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki flag solo. After posting a good qualifying lap and finishing second in his heat race, Hill was determined to get on the podium. On the first lap, contact with another rider sent Hill to the ground and forced him to retire early.
Hill started the day setting the seventh fastest time during qualifying and the rookie rider was starting to feel comfortable on the Toronto dirt. In his heat race, he got a good jump out of the gate and came around the first lap in second place. He hung with the leader throughout the six-lap heat and was poised for a strong main event. Coming through the first set of jumps on the first lap of the main, Hill was landed on and went down hard. During the crash, he injured his right arm and is being checked out this week by doctors to see if he will be able to race the next event.
