I just can't wait for James to retire.

This whole riding and not riding circus of his is a joke. People used to race with broken bones and on "stock" motorcycles when they needed to. He's lost his heart for racing that's for sure.
Let James do whatever he wants and the market will decide. If he loses fans and sponsors, then maybe he'll toe YOUR line. Or maybe he'll just say fuck it, I'm gonna be whoever I want to be whenever I want to be it. And since he already has more money than God, he can easily do that. Not a bad position to be in, is it??

I hope he quits and never races MX again. Why does it matter?, because he is tying up money that a lot of "privateers" need to make future plans. He is delaying every deal after his from happening, which is putting alot of "what ifs" in the minds of possible racers that may or may not race this year, so he is actually hurting the level of competition.

I have an ametuer friend waiting for a possible JGR AM ride that has to wait to see where JS7 goes.

I will purposely avoid any sponsor that gives JS7 money for being the faster couch sitter in the world. 40th place at the Pala National is faster than JS7 and anyone else who doesn't show up. Give the sponsor money to them.

IF your deals are not done, that means you have NONE, so grab a bike and ride, you have no sponsors to piss off, only your fans, which I am not.
I'm not a fan of all James' reasons for not racing, but why blame him for someone else not getting a deal? I say tell those privateers to up their game and become more important to teams so that they HAVE to make a deal with them before someone else signs them. Do better, don't blame the guy who's doing better.

Tell your amateur friend that AC92 got a ride somehow. You could also tell your amateur friend that "IF your deals are not done, that means you have NONE, so grab a bike and ride, you have no sponsors to piss off, only your fans, which I am not."

That said, I hope James decides to race while he still can and your amateur friend gets his deal done. Kid must have skills if JGR is looking at em. Will you avoid JGR is James AND your amateur friend signs with them?

One reason I blame him is it has been a year, you can't figure something out by then, next grab a bike and race until then.

AC92 got a ride with Pro Circuit, not JGR so what does Pro Circuit money have to do with JGR money. And yes he has "none" (so to speak) so therefore hes having to stand by to see what his next moves are, like buying 4 new bikes, what to set thme up with etc. Would be a waste to go one route and then get told "well JS7 is going to whatever, so now we have money for AM racing" then have to possibley sell everything you just bought.

I have no offiliation with JGR so they can do as they choose, I hope he gets JGR help but will not make "MY" decisions any different. Kid is fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whether on JS7 rides there, I could care less if he rides at all, I support the riders who actually show up, not talk about showing up!!!!!

Of course AC92 signed with PC; I didn't think I needed to specify that. My point was that he got a ride that didn't seem to hinge on anyone else's deal. James has, through an enormous amount talent, time and hard work, placed himself in a position to have more choices than most. Hey, it's annoying to me too, but I can recognize that when you are one of the best in the world at something you might be able to do things "your way". It's the difference between being in the driver seat and making decisions and the passenger seat and hoping things "go your way".

Don't get me wrong; I get that it's a tough situation to be in, I just don't think blaming the successful guy is the answer. I say strive to be better so you can't be denied. Actually, don't strive, BE BETTER so you can't be denied. If not, you may have to wait for others to get their stuff straight. I've experienced it myself. I have to be better or I'll continue to have to get in line and wait. That's all.

The fact that people are getting mad about him looking to new endeavors instead of racing the cup just validates that people still look most forward to watching him race.
I think it's more that people can't look away from a trainwreck, they have to stare at it....

Bubba races dirtbikes for a living..... problem is, he doesn't race them very often, and when he does he either gets hurt or loses.... he is however still the fastest man on the planet for one race, an attribute that you'd think would suit him quite well for the Monster Cup.... the Million bucks he could win there might be more than all the win bonuses he'll make the rest of career... and if he can't run the pace, showing up and getting 7th at the Monster cup can't be any more embarrassing than his 2010 sx season, his TORC series debut, or that Red Bull flugtag he did a couple years ago......

Shit, I could use an extra million -- I might just bring my leathers out of retirement, lace up my boots, put on my Jofa, throw the ol' Bell open-faced helmet on, polish the CZ until it shines like the top of the Chrysler building, and go grab the cash . . .

on the AC92 topic, the reason why JGR went for him is because zach bell went to factory connections honda. Before zach was at JGR he was also at pro circuit.
