So you have to imagine JS7 & MS27 are doing a team together for '18 SX right?

yep you're right.........its actually really puzzling due to having his own clothing brand that really is only worth a fuk if a stewart is racing?!??!???! hannah was smart enough to know once he was irrelevant HRP was history unless he wanted to step up to the plate and get in the game with the other clothing brands.........ashame that a technical paperwork glitch destroyed the career of arguably the most important guy in the sport but rules are rules

The only team that may play with this is mcr. It looks like they cant work together so it will be another poor us unprepared fade in the main cry fest. And this statement comes from a Malcolm fan, well before last year. I will still watch and like to see him do well but I will be putting in as much "fan" effort as he will put in during the off season.

You would think there would be some chatter about who Malcom was riding for by now.
Considering he didn't get a ride last year... My hopes aren't high for this year.

I was watching a replay of A1 on TV the other day and they had a JS7 deal on there. He released a statement saying he'd be back in a couple weeks. Forgot all about that claim. I won't believe it till he's back out there.

If you think everyone hates James as much as vital does, you're wrong.

Was actually thinking about it the other day... latest rumours (a couple months back) was of a possible JS7 showing at Monster Cup. But here we are, 3 weeks out and still nothing, so I guess that's a no go as well.

Surely if we don't hear anything about an A1 entry, this could all finally be put to bed? I'm no conspiracy theorist or fanatic, but eventually reality sets in.

Bullshit
And don`t start another bullshit that Seven can`t survive if James retires.

What I don't understand, and this is me, who cares? James as amazing as he was basically screwed both his fans and his sponsors. The guy hasn't raced regularly since 15?( if my dates are off don't flame me). I appreciate what he has done but why is everyone still obsessed over him? It is my assumption that he doesn't care and is pulling money and sponsors over hype that he is coming back. He made his money and could care less and he has earned that; but the fact that everyone is hanging on his every word is ridiculous to me. He has moved on and so should his fans.

Judging by Malcolm's last post he had something in the works but it didn't turn out like he thought it would. Hasn't posted in two weeks since

Heres why MX needs Malcolm/James to race whether you like it or not.....MONEY. Money makes the world go around and quite frankly, MX is lacking the money it needs to flourish. You can be a hater of the Stewarts or you can be a lover of the Stewarts, doesn't matter. But, when he is racing it's a known fact the stadiums are closer to being filled up. Sponsors/teams/businesses can make money off of Malcolm winning a 6 lap heat and coming in 14th. Why? Because you like to watch him or the drama that comes with them, which in there lies attention. Attention is the running fuel to marketing which then produces dollars. I've said it for years, hiring a well known, well followed rider who gets 6th will direct more attention in the pits than some dweeb getting podium after podium. Look at Stankdog or the 2 stroke guy. They aren't winning but by god he has help and a program and he has 80K+ Instagram followers compared to someone like Kyle Chisholms (who faster and more established) 27K. That's 50K more viewers to any product they have, use, or promote. Example: Not downgrading, but who gives an actual f**k about watching Dan Reardon race supercross, or back in the day a boring ass Tyla Rattray? I'll tell you, about 5% of the mx fan population. BUT, what's the biggest annoyance on this forum? TALKING ABOUT THE STEWARTS. Same goes with the pits, watching races, selling tickets etc. They're everywhere. 100s of threads, 1000s of posts. It's awareness aka marketing. If they're on the track, people care and people watch. Some watch hoping for failure, and some watch hoping for success. Regardless, they WATCH. The same thing is going on right now with the PGA and Tiger Woods. Could he be his dominant self again? Prolly not. BUT by god if he signs up to play again those ticket sales will almost double......

Yamaha took a chance on Chad Reed it worked so much they said see ya later and he has a following probably second only to James.
Stank dog has a following but relies on handouts. How is popularity helping him?
Clearly ride365 didn't make any money off Malcolm or they'd be back with him right? after all popularity is investment if I'm correct in what you are saying.

If ticket sales / viewing numbers really would jump that much with JS , and perhaps MS out there, I'm sure FELD would move heaven and earth to have them out on the track.

Ticket sales (and the value of TV / Streaming ) are what FELD are into the Sport for. Nothing else.

I'm sure they really do crunch the numbers on things, and, so far, the 'value' to Them, and any potential Sponsors / Teams of the 'S's doesn't ad up . Despite what fan bois and goils think.

Come on man, don't burst the last bubble, like I said his real sponsors will be gone if he announces retirement. Why sponsor a guy who doesn't race, doesn't care about his fans? Doesn't attend events for red bull. Oakley, bell,red bull would be gone. Only seven gear would stick around because he owns it. And people wonder why there is no factory team knocking on their doors. Lol.

It wasn't a paperwork glitch that ruined his riding, it was being required to ride to the prescribed amount that finished him off. Approved TUE James was only half the rider that Illegal Amphetamines James was..

Who's gonna sign a flat track bully that can't ride without an unlimited amount of undeclared adderall and can't even be bothered to finish a season after being paid millions of dollars by a great team like Yoshimura Suzuki?

Nobody. The teams aren't as stupid as the Vital fanboys.

One BS move too many. He's been exposed. Legacy well and truly tarnished. It's over.
