Potentially everyone. He's a former world MX runner up when he was a teenager, he knows how it works over there. No doubt he has the potential to run with the best over there. Whether he wants to or feels the need to at this stage of his career is the only thing in question.

I hope he runs outdoors aswell. But i also hope he comes back to OZ and races the entire Super X series, not sure if he wants to do both. We still need the big name here to draw the casual fan in, that's one of the things we struggled with here last year.

If Reed runs the outdoors and I sure hope he does, he will be a threat for the championship. How can so many people continue to underestimate this guy? He doesn't hedge his bets on anything-he started his own team with his own cash, what, a month before the sx season? Knowing full well all the contenders were in it to win it. He bet on himself going outdoors, anticipating everyone but James would be racing. He is a bad motherfucker on a dirt bike, and that is the bottom line.

It'll never happen, but I'd like to see Reed go back to Europe and win that World Championship he missed out on back in the early days.

Now that I would love to see! That would round out his career achievements in a way would be pretty unique.

I think the sport needs every rider that is riding SX right now to ride the Outdoors Series this summer, period! We are having a phenomenal SX Series this year and I think the sport needs just as much of a phenomenal Outdoors Series to insure the health and longevity of our sport, especially Outdoors. If all the top riders like Reed, Stewart, Villopoto, Dungey, and all the others that are the top 20, top 40 decide to ride SX only it'll only work towards killing Pro Outdoor Motocross. Outdoor Motocross is number one in my heart and soul. Supercross is pretty awesome but it's not what started this whole thing. It was the true grit, blood, sweat and gears of outdoor racing that has perpetuated this sport to where it's at and without that their would have never been an indoor series. That said, it is vital that these guy's participate and keep Outdoors alive.

I think that guy's like Larry Brooks that want their rider to ride SX only to prolong their riders careers aren't thinking about the sport but are only thinking about their bank account. I think this mind set could and will kill outdoors racing on the Pro level. If I had to make a choice I'd rather see SX die instead of MX. I'd rather see some winter series come back like the Florida Winter Series or the Trans AMA Series that the top riders like Hannah and DeCoster rode to get ready for the Outdoors or the World Championship's instead of Supercross.

All in all, I would love to see Reed this summer and I hope he and everyone else get's the backing they need to ride and complete the AMA Outdoor Summer Series this year and many years after.
