Are some of you cats on crack? Put down the pipe kids. Malcolm's fitness was lacking for sx and he had nothing but time on his hands to get ready, and it showed, every weekend. And now some of you think he is going to show up for a couple of rounds on his own to possibly get a second tier ride for the season? Come on. Input equals output, and that pretty much sums up Malcolm. You can lead the horse to water but you can't make him drink.
I have to agree with you 100%, but if you ever got that horse to drink water. Watch out!

I know it might be hard with his ride/sponsor situation and his fitness might be another question, but given we saw what impact not doing the outdoors had on getting a ride lined up this year, you'd think he'd almost be willing to box-van a half dozen nationals it just to show his commitment...

Dude his natural talent and ability is better. He just doesn't have the program. Give mookie a year with Alton and Red Bull KTM and Mookie will destroy. The guys speed is insane. His program and equipment is just lacking

You must not know of the
"Marv-Attack" from his European days.

He has a couple of titles that Mookie doesn't have. As well as some SX class wins that Mookie also doesn't have.

Still love Malcolm - Aldon could probably change some things.

Not only having Aldon but having a top level factory bike. Honestly for just going out and racing off of pure talent without a real program he did great. Coop did better but he has Gareth to train him and a factory bike. Mookie has neither.
The bike isn't holding him back.

Serious question though. I know KTM does not usually do fill in rides but if Marvin gets hurts are they just going to show up to the race without any riders? I mean if you gave Malcolm the program that Marvin has, that kind of talent would be spanking Marvins ass around the track all day.
What are you smoking? Marvin is a double world champ, and has multiple wins in the US, the only rider to really challenge the top 2 this year. Malcom won a regional champsionship after being in class for how long? And done next to nothing in the big boy class. I really fail to see how people acredit him with this "talent" he's not his brother

I talked to big James at MetLife supercross and he said Malcom will not be doing outdoors due to not having enough sponsors.

Maybe Mookie would have more money if he wasn't paying for his dad to travel everywhere and god knows who else is in this camp. Lets face it it's not Mookie that is the problem its the circus he travels with.
Hate this post if you want but i know people who have been directly involved with the circus.

Things wont get any better for Malcolm if he skips the outdoors yet again. He will be in exactly the same situation in January as this year.

But i do think that he did pretty good this sx season. 15th in points, that is were i expected him to finish. 10-15.

He won a regional 250 SX title and he didn't dominate the series. He won 2 races right? I think finishing in top 15 after missing 2 races is pretty good for him? People tend do forget that all of the 14 riders that finished infront of him have better credentials than him and more experience. Considering how under prepared Malcolm was(his own fault, this is not an excuse) getting a few top 10 finishes and top 15 in the points was a good rookie season.

Malcolm could kick some ass if he got on Aldons program. He has the speed. Just needs to get into moto/Kentucky Derby jockey/Aldon program shape.

If Malcolm prepared properly wouldn't he possibly be the one with the Factory Husky ride that Dean Wilson currently has?

Dean was ready for Anaheim, Malcolm wasn't. He got 365 ride and showed up to work late and out of shape.

Now hes not doing outdoors because no sponsors? If he rode outdoors and is in shape, he would get a fill in ride by the end of the year.

I don't get it. Seems like he is just waiting for a cushy ride to fall in his lap.

There is only one way to prove everyone wrong, and that is on the track.

Would you go to work just to lose $1500 a week?


You guys really don't know what it's like to be self employed? He is self employed, wants his $15 an hour minimum wage promised to him by the dens, I wouldn't go either!


This is business for these guys, not a Saturday night ride at the local fair. At the fair you would only lose $150

He should put in his own money on the line like Dean did because then you get a factory ride like Dean did. It was a solid investment there!

Haha. Are you suggesting he should save his "$1500"/race so he can sit at home and stay unemployed?

I don't think many people would view his season as earning a factory ride. He did have factory suspension this year.

Mostly it would be seen as starting up front a fair bit, then fading. There wasn't any good reason to come into it out of shape.

In the transworld interview he did, in a nutshell he said he took it easy all last summer. Don't know if that's the way to go again.

Does he want a career in racing or not? If yes, train, get in a van and go. Show some initiative, some dedication. Staying at home waiting for sponsors, or some opportunity, is a losing proposition. It's a free country, he can choose.

No I'm suggesting him to go fishing instead of losing $1500 a week. He just did the buy a ride pick up a ride path and it got him no ride for the Outdoors!

They will call him if they need someone, the Outdoor field is already depleted!

Do you really think it is the lack of program that is holding Malcolm back? He shows up in a semi every weekend with a huge support system. He has a private training facility. He already has bikes. Do you really think that DeCoster wants a guy who has all of those resources and can't make it to the first few nationals?

If he's in decent shape, and can hang with the big boys for 30 plus 2, he would probably benefit from showing up at the first few rounds. If he doesn't have the stamina for the outdoors, he may be better off staying home on the couch, waiting for the phone to ring. It took him quite a few races in Supercross to run the pace for an entire main event.
Sure didn't benefit him last year by not showing up.

I'm not saying Malcolm's season is worth a factory ride, its not.

My point is if you don't have a ride and have talent, riders like Dean Wilson/ARay did it the smart way. It would earn a prepared Malcolm Stewart a ride too.

The other poster said its dumb to spend your own money. Its not. The alternative is to stay at home, don't get paid and fall behind the curve.

Dean is in a better place, getting paid now and is recouping his investment. ARay is progressing in his career.

Malcolm would not kick ass under Aldons program, because Malcolm is lazy. In order for Aldons program to benefit you, you have to 100% by into it and do everything he says otherwise it does you no good.

Malcolm faded like the paint on a 72 Pinto 10 minutes into a main event, what makes anybody think he's going to be able to last 35 minutes outdoors and the Heat? Everyone goes on and on about his talent, everybody in the top 20 and Supercross is talented, he has no special talent he's just like everybody else, he's not James.

I like the kid, great to talk to Great personalities super humble for the most part, but greatness is not in his future. This isn't a roast, it's life, only four people in the whole world have enough drive and talent to win Supercross, and he is not one of them.

They aren't going to call him because he will probably be out of shape for MX when a ride pops up. He wasn't prepared/trained for SX when he got a ride and is/was behind the curve the whole season in fitness.

Exactly, they already think he's out of shape, how will racing from 5th backwards to 15th change that opinion?
