If I could pick any period I would pick the one we are currently in! The bikes are unreal straight out of the crate And the tracks seem to just be getting better and better! People that want to race in the 90s say that because they want to smoke pot and party lol
No, that was the 70's
That's how we rolled. (and rolled them up we did)
That is, I think that's how I remember it.
No wait.... I can't remember.


What was the question again?

Do you think the drug testing in moto is necessary and worth the cost?

Jimmy - first, thanks for doing this.

Question: If you had to pick between talent, conditioning and equipment, what would you say is the biggest difference between a SX/MX contender and a 20th place rider?

Hi Jimmy.
do you ever have anyone come up and say
"I am after an autograph, so can you please have Georgia sign something for me!"

Jimmy, my wife just got a new rotator rebuild today and is now a passed out mess in the recliner chair, first time in 20 years I saw someone besides me with about three IV's in the arm in the surgical theatre. Can't wait to see you on the track again brother and glad you are doing well, Oklahoma is OK!

With missing a fair chunk of the mx season, would you consider racing the australian supercross series to get some racing under your belt before the ama sx gets going again? We would love to see you here Smile

I checked in with Jimmy earlier. He said he's been wide open this week, and will be back later to answer more. He hasn't tapped out. Smile

Jimmy,
Have you rode trey's HRC race bike? How does a top factory bike compare to a bike with just some factory support?And also is there a clause in contracts that say your not aloud to ride another racers bike while riding at a home track?

Side note to GuyB, thanks for setting this up, great thread/idea.

I rode the factory honda in 2008 and 2010. Great bikes but now days the bikes are so good out of the box it's not quite the X factor it once was...

It's very hard to make a track like the outdoor nationals unless with out having 80 of the best guys in the world hammering on it.

I told guy I'm charging him $100 an answer... Doesn't this count as one?

Thanks for doing this Jimmy.

Throughout your whole professional career which bike would you say was your personal favorite (excluding your factory ride)? And why?
I've been riding Mitchell's race bike from Sx and ibe been absolutely loving it! The new yamahas are really the best bike on the market! Disclaimer coming soon lol

How the hell did you convince Georgia to move to Oklahoma?
Oklahoma has the best people in the world so I guess if you dont speak Oklahomian then you just wouldn't get it Wink
