It is SO painful to watch such a pure talent go to waste trying to ride Supercross on a bike that looks like it handles like one of those victorian claw-foot bath tubs half full of water... James Stewart on a Fooper is like a great surgeon using a spork.
Check out this old race and look at how much BETTER the top guys are riding... and look at how much bigger and more demanding the obstacles are... I mean some of those "On-Off Table Tops" from the track tonight were so sleight that when the camera showed them from a bit of a distance, you could hardly even see the angles.... And the whoops do not even begin to compare in size, NOT AT ALL...
I know James made fun of the YZ250 but if he had one on the track tonight, he would probably have been so much better off... And, when you look at the sizes of the obstacles that were on the San Diego track back when the tracks were built for more capable dirt bikes, you have to figure that the YZ would take the lesser amplitude of today's tracks with ease.

Post a reply to: James really needs a YZ250 like the one Chad had when San Diego Supercross had Big Jumps and Whoops
