Right now, those are the only fast guys Yamaha's got. Whatever happens to them, they have nobody to blame but themselves. That being said, do you really think Yamaha is going to cut both of them this week? J-Laws results last weekend may of had more to do with bike issues than personal issues. You guys are funny, one week it comes out J-Law is flying Hamblin to the races, and you guys al over his sack with praise. Fast foreward to a week later and eveyone is bashing him. When you guys were 21, how much time and effort did you put into your jobs? Now picture being rich. I'm not going to chalk this up to just being kids, there are endless stories if guys destroying rental cars, this is nothing new. Stop with the "someone could of gotten hurt". Fact is, nobody did. Move on, christ did his actions cause some bump in your lives?

Oh, I forgot, this is the internet, and most of you have nothing to do all day but talk shit on people, whether you know them or not.
Good Call .

Are they the new team Acid Rock?
Billy Grossi flipped a van if front of the Kawi Brass. But he was young and fast as anyone so it was cool.

I hope the above statement does not become prophetic.
What they (Hill/Jlaw) do for the remainder of the year will be the only thing that will earn some of the respect they will need going forward.
Everyone wants to focus on them being young and making a few mistakes and pressure of living in the lime light etc.
Think about the team members that work their asses off so these guys can race motorcycles at the top level.
By acting like this hill and Jlaw have basically pissed on all the hard work these young men have put into the program.
The mechanics on a team like this really don't make that much money, they are in it for the excitement and sense of accomplishment that comes with putting together a successful season of racing.
Their value is placed largely on the results of the last program they were associated with.

I really hope they get their stuff together. This would be a crappy end to a couple of promising careers.

Hannah, Lechien, MC and Fro Daddy among many others got away with their antics because the internet didn't exist and regular people couldn't tell the world about it the next minute after it happened. The factory teams could keep it quite and wipe it under the rug. Not today with everyone having a camera phone and computer, those days are over. The kids are going to have to straighten up and fly right. The factories can't wipe it under the rug any longer. I don't think Yamaha will keep him around. He definitely could have gotten someone killed. There were tons of people where he rolled the car. He and everyone around him got really lucky.
The difference is that when it came to race day all those riders could do better than 19th place and they were all a threat to win more than a lites supercross title on the easy coast.

With the economy going in the shitter, and bike sales with it, riders had better know they are all one stupid stunt away from being unemployed, kind of like Emig.

In the next round of contract talks there are going to be some big surprises.

Even DV hinted in an interview recently that things are tightening up and there would be some cutbacks.

Look for contracts to go more performance based, and for teams to implement random drug tests and other clauses that would make it easier to dump underperforming twits.

Sounds like a good chance that half the time they don't know who they are...

I think Racer X was wrong for referring to them as "Cheech and Chong"...my "un-renewed" subscription will be my voice.
