Let's hope a month from now we're discussing how strong James looks riding MX. However, Stewart needs to overcome recent history. Statistically, James has a greater chance of a crash/DNF than a win. If the bike was an issue yesterday, it's likely an issue today. Plus conditioning will play a factor, especially with a notorious trainer like Dungey at the gate.

Not a hater, just an observer. As mentioned earlier, this sport is better with James in it. We just don't want to be disappointed again.

Check your history bro. Last time JS7 triied his hand at the MXoN he didnt finish his second moto and we ended up getting lucky with Ferry coming thru.
True. He blew it that year. But if Dungey does MX1 (which is where I would want him), James won't have pressure, which he has proven in the past he can't deal with well. James would be the best MX3 rider for the US and the best MX3 rider in the world. Assuming of course that he makes it through the season healthy. A big question mark in my opinion.

Well we should get you The Man's number so you guys can chat over who rides what. I'm sure he'd like to hear your input on the subject.

I got a kick out of the moronic idiot on the first page of this thread that said before "all signs pointed towards no." What signs is the retard talking about? All the threads on this site with posts from idiots like him who talk out their arse? Funny stuff that fills the heads of computards around here.

I bet he shows up on a Red Bull Zundapp.

Any takers wanna bet that DeCoster throws in the towel? He keeps the KTM truck parked and saves KTM a truckload of money this season?
I'll take that bet. I'll bet you $50,000 KTM still shows up at hangtown. You still in big talker?

James cant win with you guys.

Now that he is you say its cause RV is out.

He already said at the beginning of the year he was racing the nationals.

RV should have the * for the SX season then. All his competitiom got hurt. So it wasnt legit right???

Injuries happen. Sucks for all of those that are injured. But the races must go on and thats how it goes.

Saying he is only racing because RV is out is bullshit.
Well said. I don't get how people can love a sport so much, and hate a rider that brings so much to the sport, so much. Im happy as long as there's riders behind the gate. With that said, Stewart rubber side down, will be a force to be reckoned with no matter who shows up or doesn't. And be happy people, at least we have Stewart in the show, it'd be a lot worse with him on the list of riders NOT showing up. Come on Hangtown!!!

I can see it now....

James wins title= legend
Dungey wins title= Asterisk

Great to see James racing the outdoors, after RV out with injury this is the best thing that could of happened to the outdoor season.

I predict a 1-1 for James at hangtown, after a couple of races who knows?

I am still a big Dungey fan, but with the way this year has gone I have found myself rooting for James hoping things would go his way. I was at Unadilla 2010, heck if you watch the first moto Im the one holding the sign saying "Bubba Who?" on the Alli video. I saw what happened, but guess what Im no fool and I know what James is capable of and that is beating not only Dungey but also RV.
Agreed, rooting for James too. I always like an underdog.

People read message board shit and it becomes real to them whether it is founded in fact or rumor. I guess having a broken hand could possibly have kept him out but it seems more to me like most of the people surprised by this don't even consider that.

I Heard that Cariolli is now coming over to do the nationals,
With the weak feild he will only have to race on his "off GP" weekends,
and he can still win the AMA and MX1 titles in the same year!

Went right over you head didn't it Tex? You vote for Bush?

It only makes sense, if JSE is in, due to RV1 being out, then RD5 should be out do to JSE being in.

The hierarchy is RV1, JSE, then RD5. So really no need for RD5 to waste his time outdoors, especially on that Kaboom he's riding.

Crystal clear, no?

The summer just got a lot better. I see some good 7(If Yellow) and 5 races with 800 making whoever is in second continue to push. If Blue 5 title if yellow???? Now if we could just have bam bam in the 450's us fans will still have a fantastic season to watch even with all of these guys out.

Could've been a misdiagnosis. Sometimes it's hard to tell a hurt pride from a broken hand.

Yes she was, but the constant bickering between her and Mona and then finding out Travis got her pregnant and not telling him was just to much for me to take at the time. Then she has the audacity to become romantically involved with his own brother Jackson......the nerve of that woman. At least her and Travis remarried for the sake of their daughter Bianca.....but we all know how that ended. Don't even get me started on her brief affair with her own half-brother Marc.

Why can't some of you fools just be happy for the sport? A week ago I had no intention of going to any nationals. Now I can't wait for Budds.
