Interesting that he's still using Renthal bars even though he is now under contract, or will be as of 2013 and Suzuki runs Pro Taper.

still very cool to see him ride SX again. Can't wait to see how he does this year.

Was just going to comment the same thing.....

Is that an attempt at humour, or is it actually an required disclaimer?

looks smooth on that thing, front end seems planted better than the yami. he didnt look like he was riding all that hard though, just trying to be smooth and fast, alot of riders get better by slowing themselves down, maybe itll work for him. it seems he tries so hard he makes mistakes because of it

And because of that he will not be head and shoulders above the competition. RV, RD, CR, TC will be on the same pace most of the time causing him to elevate to that next level which is where he gets into trouble.

Really cool seeing him back out there again. I've said it a hundred times already......but God Damn.....I just want him to stay healthy all season and give it his best shot. I hope that Suzuki is the cure for his SX problems he had been having ( going down a lot ). He looks really good on it I think. I gotta root for James now days....because he's considered a "Vet".....ya gotta root for the Vet's! I'll keep rooting for the guy unless he goes into total brain meltdown and takes other riders with him. That has always been my biggest gripe about the guy. With that being said.....I hope he has a great season!

I hope he stops testing, because that's when it gets worse!

LOL, that's what you got out of that video?
Christ, why aren't you working on one of the factory teams diagnosing bike handling through video across the internet?

If he's been testing for a few weeks, he should have been at the MEC. He's doing what he wants to do though, and there's no problem with that.
