I think if Chad would've got off the Yamaha around the time everyone switched to the 4 stroke he would have more wins today.
Also, Chad had Epstein Barr and that is how he got off the Kawi asap.
Wait until next year.
my proof... James has rode bigger pieces of shit faster, against the old guard of legends, but now with father time creaping in and the new breed of legends in the making, its just not as realtively easy, so something has to be the problem and noone will look in the mirror first.
imo it goes like this. He gets on the Suz and either he wins and the old james is back mentally, or he doesnt win right away says thats ok first race, work on the bike ect, and if he then doesnt start winning, now the suz is the problem.
James is NOT wired to view 2nd as a good race, period. its win or you failed.

Always comes in with the JS hate.
How about we just wait and see? There's an idea.
Chad has never consistantly been as fas t as James. EVER.
So how all of a sudden is he as fast?
Chad is older, and father time would have caught up to him long before it did James.
People can say what ever they want but James didnt fall off that much.

With MXA further saying JS7 will be riding a redbull suzuki i really hope this suzuki rumor is true.
i just hate that he gives himself the luxurious window of 2 fucking weeks to get a bike picked and begin dialing it in for the outdoors. While Dungey has xxx and possibly x hours logged on his ktm.
quit the shit, pick a bike, train, test- and go perform. Like a professional fucking racer. Please.
How do you know he hasn't picked a bike and been testing it?
If it's because he hasn't told us, refer back to question 1.
There is no set date or time or age. Noone can be crazy ballz their entire life.
Add to that the fact the when RC and CR where racing, everything JS7 did was innovative and omg how did he do that. They were behind the curve on somethings technique-wise..... RV, RD at a younger age have been refining JS7's innovations and building on them. Want a better example... watch TC41 scrub. Noone consistently, lap after lap, does it. Not JS7, not CR, RV or RD. Barcia, KRoc, wilson... the next young lions do, and they are the next big dick swingers in about 3 or 4 years in 450SX.
and lastly, add in hes not happy. The results, in his mind, suck ass unless hes winning. period. JS7 really does think that if you aint first you are last. no comedy intended. he truely thinks anything other than a win is a fail and something to be embarassed by. So, the two things above are creeping in, and hes pushing harder and harder..... If he goes down in a turn pushing, it cant be his fault hes going past the laws of physics in the known universe, it has to be the bike. Hey, it might be somewhat. But again, hes rode worse faster.
So, you have a JS7 that now cant quad something crazy and noone will cowboy up. RV, RD, TC, KW and CR will. So there goes that advantage.
You also have a JS7 that can scrub a triple or finish line and gain 1 tenth, problem is, now everyone is scrubbing the exact same things and a few even moreso, so there goes that advantage.
What does that leave, corner speed. And its been proven time and again, JS7 will keep pushing and pushing until he goes down.... problem is, it was tough for anyone to go his speed in the past. Now though, there are 5 guys that can and even go above it! (yes 5, KW can when the mood strikes him and what happened? proving my point? JS7 kept going faster and faster until he went down, took KW with him also)
so an answer is needed. and its never the guy in the mirror. you never settle. screw reality and a new cropof riders that are at your technical level at a younger age therefore having more time doing and refining it. that leaves just one thing... the bike.
There is a ray of hope though imo. Hangtown and a thin field or A++ guys. Chad, Trey, RV, KW, wont be there. Rd will. If JS7 can win Hangtown on his new zook and get a little of his mojo back, 2013 SX will be really interesting for a few rounds. hes just got to get back to his happy place and realise it wont be as easy as it used to be.
