I read it, and he also said bubba wasn't racing. Why buy bikes for one day when you have 20 in the garage.
Malcolm may do something with Yamahas. It does not mean that James is.

They brought this on themselves. Train/eat clean 24/7 365 or you are not Pro in this sport. It's obvious they don't want it bad enough. The reason neither have a ride for 2017 is..........well they don't deserve one based on work ethic. Nothing wrong with that. They have tons of money to enjoy life without putting in the work.

Ok...you win. Before I read this I thought I'd read the most uninformed, idiotic, totally stupid post of the day...but I was wrong.

You definitely win.

Another Successful year for the JSSC @freestonemx ride day. Special day for me having my son out at the compound along with all the champions including my @sevenmx_ amateur riders. Every year it continues to grow which is amazing considering what's going on in the pro ranks but it's great because that means the next generation of youth riders are strong. As for me it's been a struggle with putting things together for next year with so many sponsors pulling out of MX and a deep pool of great riders and lack of rides. That being said I've been working on trying to make things happen because I'm not ready to retire. I still have wins in my future so hopefully I'll be on the gate soon. If that's in the next 6 weeks that'll be great but whenever it is, I'll be looking for to being with the people I love and that you guys. Real talk outta everything, wins, money, fame traveling. The one thing that keeps me going is my fans because otherwise after this year and the offseason struggles, I would be done!! But I'm not so just wanna thank you for keeping the candle lit. So thank you guys for the love, I definitely see it!!! Also everyone of my sponsors that have and still continue to support me, a big thank you to all of you. It's not a sponsorship anymore.... it's family. @redbull @gopro @dcshoes @oakleymotorsports @sevenmx_ @bell_powersports @gaerneusa

He's still just as heavy looking as last year, riding a stock bike in mid November, there is no way an in-shape JS with good equipment showed up in 6 weeks.And I'm a huge fan btw so I"m not bashing, just think he's lost the drive and it's time to hang it up.

The older one that has had a lot of concussions.

It would be great if he doesn't get hurt.

Badly.

Buuuuuuut it was already stamped multiple times here on vital that he wouldn't be racing ever again.

Hmmmmmmm.....

It will be interesting to see if/where both land. But I think it will be two different stories. James will be insignificant to the overall racing and championship. I think it will be similar to last year. Lots of story lines but will not be part of the overall racing story. Malcolm will be in the racing story each week.

With that being said - I would really enjoy it if James came back in shape and ready to race - it is always fun to watch him on the track when he is at his best - but am not expecting it. As for Malcolm, I think it will be pretty cool to see what he can do on a 450. It would not surprise me if he was in the hunt at each race and may even get a podium or two.

UpTiTe has been right in the past many times and sadly may be right about this one. However as a lifelong fan of JS7 I will hold onto my hope that he will come back and return to greatness. Sadly though likely not without a ride because these teams put too much feeling into it and don't consider the numbers. Sure he might not train as hard but Stewart has better chances to win a race than half the dudes with rides. While his odds at that are like 1% it better than most at 0.0001% is all I'm saying. However because those with 0.0001% work hard they get a ride because it makes the teams feel better that there money isn't getting wasted.

Checking in, still no news on James huh? I see in his IG post above he says he's "not ready to retire", so I wonder if he'll be lining up at A1.

Last season was the killer for James because all the teams go 100 percent in. Some have bigger budgets than others but even a team like Tedders spends lots of money and energy and emotions are high.
Why would any team put all that in an effort for someone who pulls of as much as James did?
I have never seen a rider with so much quit in one year.

True.
I think he is going to self fund through Seven and privateer it to sell gear.

Some of you guys are like the old folks at the rest home thinking Elvis is alive and planning a comeback. James is done, Malcolm may get a fill in ride. Just my guess and I don't lose sleepover it. Time marches on.

So does James still get paid from his other sponsors (Red Bull, Bell ...) or is it contingent on him racing?

each contract is different. At this point I'd expect his team to structure contracts with a heavy emphasis on public appearances vs race results. both versions can provide financially.

As much as I'd like to see JS7 out there, he's had his share of concussions. If he retires, it's probably a good thing.
He's given plenty to the sport and if he retires right now, he's at this moment one of the greatest Motocrossers of all time.

We'll see what he decides soon enough.

It would be cool to see him involved with a team, mentoring the up and comers.

If he and Reed keep up their rivalry as managers, that would be cool too.

So we hear he "bought some hondas" but has anyone seen if JS7 has been training or not? No one has any recent spy photos?

I really hope he comes back fit and ready. I'd like to see him win some more races.

Looks like something heavy felt on his throttle hand. It's pretty flat and has a weird shape, but what do I know...

Malcom Stewart,

Since you read Vital, what does James currently look like? The top row or bottom row? We hear from your Dad that James is coming back, so is he in shape yet or not?
