JS7 Daytona injury update

F150Motocrosser
Edited Date/Time 3/9/2016 4:08pm
Yoshimura Suzuki addressed the crash in their Monday morning press release by stating, “He was checked out in at the track’s medical facility and it was discovered he’d suffered deep bruising to his lower back. Stewart hopes to be racing in Toronto next Saturday, but at this point the team says it’s too early to tell.”

Was he trying to jump to the second whoop? Or did he just overshoot the first one? I can't tell looking at the video.

Looked like it was a combination of getting off balance and a bit of whiskey throttle.

Looked like "Poto II - The Sequel" though...

Seriously though, it just looked like he got a LOT more traction at the EXACT moment he didn't want it, to me...pretty much like RV did when he looped it. That is one of the first times I've ever seen a pro loop it in the whoops though...

Hope he gets better soon. He looked like he was in a ton of pain.

Thanks for posting that update F150, I was wondering how serious it was. After reading all the JS7 is done posts, I figured it must be a career ending injury. While he'll feel the effects of deep bruising in his back for quite a few more weeks, at least it's not a season ender. I really don't want to see James go out this way, but I do get nervous for him every time he goes out on the track. I hope his luck changes.

I would hope that not even his haters would want him to go out like this. I don't know what his exit plan for the sport is but I hope it at least gets to where he can retire holding his head high.

this sport is so "what have you done for me lately". I hope he's remembered for the first part of his career...not the last.

And that statement is what a lot of people are saying about JS7 and Poto last year. Both were out of shape and not prepared for the grind.

Surprised they actually did a Monday AM press release with an update on James for once. Seems like the public is usually in the dark until at least mid week..

I really don't have high expectations for James Stewart to race in Toronto this weekend. It would be cool to see him race nonetheless.

In my opinion, I think he should stop racing Supercross to rest his body, get healthy, do some fitness training, do outdoor testing to get ready for the Nationals. But that's just one man's opinion.

Is racing the Nationals even in his current contract ? For some reason I thought itwas SX only.

I have to admit, when I saw him in pain holding his hip, I thought "put a fork in him, it's time to hang up the boots". I know many of us like to say that, and I don't know if "like" is the right word to use to describe that. I am not a JS7 fan, but what I feel and have felt the past few years isn't dislike for him, it is disappointment. He is a show on 2 wheels and like him or not, he brings excitement to the racing and is a character on and off camera. Those of you urging for retirement, watch what you ask for.. Racing isn't nearly as fun to watch without him.

I hope he can heal up (again), and bring some show back. Ride through some pain like the rest of the guys out there, for the rest of his life there will always be some nagging pain somewhere, deal with it - we need him on the track.

I think his biggest problem right now is probably in his head............and not concussion related........2016 has been a disaster after being out for well over a year

I'm hoping he can at least get some top 10 rides in the next 9 races before outdoors.................because the stakes and crashes and injuries get escalated once outside if he's "off"

He cased the whoop, got squirrelly and was about to drop his front wheel into the whoops so he gassed it. He was a little out of body position so what happened wasnt what he expected. If he hadnt gassed it he may have ended up over the bars. The impact looked very painful in slow motion. The only good thing is that the whoops were a bit sandy, imagine if that had been a packed Georgia clay or Anaheim whoop.

In the long run, no doubt he's remembered as the blistering fast 259 and the battles with RC that pushed them both to the limit. But not sure he's done yet.

that crash freaking hurts.. i did it in december, and i still feel the scar tissue till this day.. but i cant afford massages to work it out everyday to get rid of it... he will be in pain when he tries to sit down for atleast 3 weeks.... it took me 2 weeks just to sit normal.

I'm sure he has contractual obligations, but DUDE, this SX season has proved a couple of things for Stew. After all the other concussions he had all those years back, now that you're a bit older, it takes a while to get back to normal. He may not ever be normal anymore. Also not much seat time since the crash and trying to run balls out with guys that are in top race shape isn't as easy as it once was.

Just my 02 cents here but I would think he would back off, heal up completely and get ready to come out swinging for outdoors. I would like to see him have another successful year to finish out his career.

On a positive note, I would say that his Seven gear looked pretty good. For the most part, I have a hard time seeing seven gear being warn by anyone BUT James however, this gear actually looked like something that people would buy.

James needs to take the right amount of time off IMO. He looks overweight especially compared to when he came into the 2014 season. Im sure hes in decent shape but from pictures he looks a lot more round then before. Id like to see james just pick and choose whatever races he wants to do and not try and go for a championship. As big of a fan as i am of james i dont believe he has a championship run in him anymore esp with dungey on the podium every weekend. Just pick and choose the funniest races he wants and call it a career after.

Hurt or not he needs to take this crash as an opportunity to miss the remainder of the season. He is just embarrassing himself at this point.

He almost never has a finger on the clutch anyway
