Is This The End For JS7?

2/29/2016 3:13pm
I keep reading all this talk about how he might be able to win races but he won't be winning championships. Yea and how about the other 18 guys that might win races but can't put a whole season together? Let's have everyone quit and we can watch Dungey pound laps solo.

We should all sell our bikes because our time has passed and we can't be the best rider in the world anymore. Oh it's so sad when you get old and slower. It's even more depressing watching pros get old. I thought they didn't age or slow. What world do you live in and what the fuck are you smoking?

James isn't the only guy getting hurt and missing seasons. If you actually are a fan of the sport this really needs no explaining. Take your blinders off.

Hey guy, I'm living on planet Earth.

And I ain't smoking anything anymore.

Reality is, most pro guys call it a day in their 30s. More so with kids around.
And I believe James has said he's in it to win it, anything else isn't fun.

Is this not planet Earth reality? Tell me what is, and what you want it to be, O learned one.

James is going to be a dad; this is just the beginning.

Aside from that, James isn't going down like that. He'll be back and racing cause even on his bad days he's a million times better than the yahoo's on here talking crap on him.

Ok, the guy should hang in there, till when, 38, running mid pack, after the career he's had?
For what?
The money?
The love of the sport?

That's his call.

And yes, I'll be blunt.
I didn't find it enjoyable, seeing the guy getting knocked out cold in a 5 mph crash.
Or pulling off because he just could not hang.
Or getting lapped by a few guys he once ate for lunch.

That doesn't make me a fan of moto in your eyes, you my friend are the one that needs to take the rose colored glasses off.

The guy comes back from almost 3 year break. He doesn't win, & you guys want to burn him at the stake!

I hope he rips off 4 wins in a row.

But I ain't betting on it, and none of you guys are either.

James can still do what ever he wants, any time he wants, on a motorcycle. 10 years ago he just wanted to twist the grip harder than anyone in the world (and he did). Now he just wants to NOT hit the ground, and I understand this feeling. Just a matter of what's important to him now, compared to then. I think we saw the last of James Millville 2014? Unless his 'wants" change, then we will see him on the top of the box!!!

I agree. Pretty petty the way they talk shit on him. Dude has had a lot of bad luck and people right him off? Like it or not your going too see him win again. People saying he needs to retire, who the fuck are they to decide what he needs too do? He needs a few 20 lap races under his belt, then he will be back in the top 5! Jt$ will talk shit about him on pulp tomorrow. I often wonder who the fuck is that guy? What did he ever do?
Actually, JT had two main things to say about James right now...

1. James' screw up with MM at the end was simply him being in a situation he is not familiar with. This coming from an expert in such situations.

2. James looks rusty. All guys do when they come back from being hurt. A guy who knows how to go fast, but his body forgot the moves. It will come back, but it takes laps.

I disagree with this. Look , I've been one of James' critics for quite a while....actually a lot of riders. Usually I let things bother me , when I see him do something that was just super fucking weird or took out some other rider , made a bone head mistake , blah , blah , blah...

But I want to see him out there just as much as one of his hardcore fans. Why? Because I love watching the guy ride.

Just last night , did you guys catch the raw speed that dude can still muster up in the qualifier? Yeah he went down in the sand section , but so did a ton of other riders. He was flat out hauling ass and looked pretty damn good to me.

This is a James that's been off for damn near two years , coming back from a head injury and is obviously not in the best shape. Tellin' ya , he aint done!

Head gets 100% clear , he gets healthy and fit and starts enjoying himself....you guys will see I'm right. He's got some more fire left in him than what some of you guys are giving him credit for.

I'll criticize someone when they do something stupid. Last night may of been a brain fart on his part , but Christ , lets give the dude a break here!

Retirement? Fuck that!
You are delusional.

It's over for James Stewart.

Was just watching this video the other day and thinking man, dude has taken a lot of hits. Regardless if it's near the end or if he continues to race, the guy has given blood, sweat, tears, and limbs to this sport, was/is one of the most electrifying riders ever, and is a legend.

Really cool video.

There are still potentially 5 to 10 main event wins in JS7 if he accepts to be a bit patient after such a long time off racing.

There are not many riders that have his speed. He usually qualifies great, race for the win in heats so as he is starting well he will always be a contender.

Same with Canard. He just needs to be more patient, because he is one of the most gifted. Just look at how much time he can make up on just 1 jump.

To me James is a guy I have always been blown away by his riding. His decision making off the track, not so much. I have always wanted to root for him because his is the best rider that has ever been but then he does things I can't explain and it makes it hard to cheer for him.

What I don't understand for this year is he had a year off to heal, enjoy life and take a break. Why didn't he put in a huge effort in training and riding to get ready for this year three months out? It boggles my mind that he came in clearly over weight and not one with the motorcycle. You think he would have wanted to come in and kill it right off the bat.

Oh well, what ever he does I wish him well. It has been an amazing ride.

Unprepared, not hungry is a slap in the face to his sponsors,fans and suzuki.

Always been a fan of his. Supported him when he got suspended. As a fan I feel very let down. He is so better than fighting for 15th place. I understand he has missed almost 2 years of racing SX. I just don't understand why he was not prepared to go 20 hard laps? Just as others have said! If JS7 is burned out, I can live with that. I can't just can't watch a guy who could beat these guys getting lapped! My dads is an RD fan & is giving me a ton of shit! Look at Mookie, dude came in prepared.
