This is from js7.com... I think it's great that he thinks it was an excuse to knock a bike off the stand... but Chad had no reason to slap/push him off his hand...

WAAAAAAMMMMBULANCE......



PHOENIX SX: JAMES TALKS
Posted on 01/17/2010, 7:26 pm, by JS, under Blog, News.

By now most of you have likely seen, read, or heard about my chaotic night at round number two of the Supercross series in Phoenix. Nothing seemed to go my way last night, but at the end of it all, I chalk most of the events up to an unfortunate string of bad luck! Here’s my take…

After setting the fastest overall lap in qualifying, I went into the night program feeling pretty good. In what can only really be described as an unfortunate racing incident, however, I ended up hobbling off the track after getting landed on in my heat race. I was in pretty bad shape, but I tried my best to get back out there to race for as many points as possible in the main event. After a rough start, I found myself battling mid-pack, which ended in a pileup on lap five with Reed. The accident itself was a bummer, but while I was getting up, CR hit me in the back of my head. Needless to say, I was pretty dissatisfied with his decision to do so, especially given the fact that it’s not the first time this has happened.

From there, I simply rode my best to salvage as many points as possible, and then after the race went straight back to the pits to have a chat with Chad about the incident. To say that I was frustrated at this point would be a huge understatement, so I think it was for the best that Chad, nor anyone from his team, could be found at their truck.

I want to race. That’s why I’m here. So to consistently have to look over my shoulder every time CR gets close has gotten really old. From where I sit, it sure seems like he has repeatedly tried to take me out, which makes me question his agenda.

Thank you all for your loyal support, and I look forward to the championship battle that lies ahead.

Two sides to every story, I guess. But it certainly didn't look to me that Chad hit him on the head, nor did it look like Chad deliberately ran into him in the first place.

Whatever, let's move on to A2.....

It would have seemed a more sincere had he apologized to Partridge.

Looked like JS was cutting down without realizing that Chad was there. I think it was just as much JS fault as CR...a racing incident.

Sorry, Js7, but that's bullshit. Stop whining and get on with it. You cut down on him - you're at least half at fault for that one. Too bad if the rest of your night sucked.

One thing stands out to me in his description:
"CR hit me in the back of my head. Needless to say, I was pretty dissatisfied with his decision to do so..."

What about when Bubba hit RC in the back of the head with his front wheel at Unadilla?

Hello pot, this is kettle calling.

X2 He doesn't take any responsibility for moving over on him, or show any concern for how Kyle is doing after that crash.

"In what can only really be described as an unfortunate racing incident, however, I ended up hobbling off the track after getting landed on in my heat race"

Offhand I can think of another way to describe it -

How about "I made an unbelievably stupid move, even a rank Beginner wouldn't do, and drifted into another rider's line, ruining his race. Fortunately KP was not injured. I walked over to him and apologized for the complete brain fade on my part."

I can be pretty damn sure that anyone would be quick to hit a dude laying on their broken hand!

And what he says about having to look over his shoulder for Reed is a total crock, every rider on the track is afraid to jump a triple beside him.

I am a fan of James (as well as Chad), but its disappointing to see him not own up to the first incident. He shifted over in front of Partridge, I'm sure it wasn't intentional but he was the only one who could have avoided it.

With that being said I think I would feel the same way about the whole Chad incident if I was him. However I don't know that Chad did anything wrong in the incident. I think Chad was trying to block pass him and never expected the chain of of events that led to Stewart cutting so low in the corner. If James' bars really were on Chad's hand I'm sure the only thing on his mind was getting his hand free.

It's probably better for both riders that Chad is going to be out a while, I'm sure there would be fireworks next week if Chad was there.

Must we really crucify James for knocking over Chads bike? Big deal I say! This is an emotionally charged, and pressure driven sport, and sometimes riders get upset and do irrational things out of frustration. As we know, this happens in all sports from time to time. This wasnt the first time a rider has knocked over another riders bike. I'm willing to bet after cooling off James regrets knocking Chads bike over........but oh well. We have all done retarded things in an angry moment. These guys work hard and have passion for what they do. Shit happens.
1/17/2010 7:34pm
He should appologize to Kyle and be more focused on that instead of a tip over in the corner with Reedy. Who by the way looks to be done for the season.
For tough guys, they sure seem to be winy bitches.

This statement is right on.

Reeds in his head. Maybe he shouldn't have passed him, let him by, and repassed him again at that outdoor race many years ago. That's enough there to hold a grudge for the rest of your life.

I know you will all look and see that I am from Australia and think oh he is a typical Reed lover but I actually used to hate Reed, but he has definately improved his image and how he acts the last couple years, I am also a fan of Stewart.

But that statement is a load of bullshit. CRY BABY!

hypocrite statement right there.if he has the feeling reed is at any point going to take him out....why did he not let reed take the pass.instead, he through caution to the wind and kept on the gas.
i cant answer for reed s head bitch slap other than his hurt hand trapped under stewart?
go after the rider that did most of your physical damage from the heat race.why reed.
reed is your main competitor for petes sake. of course he is going to be over your shoulder more than anyone.
stewart sounds pretty stupid,sorry to say.

Agree that James perspective is reed punched him. But from my living room, it was a racing incident and nothing more. Both guys need to sac up and let this go.

here let me fix it for you bubba.

After setting the fastest overall lap in (THE1ST QUALIFYING SESSION I GOT COCKY AND DECIDED TO SKIP THE 2ND QUALIFYING SESSION AS THE TRACK WASNT COMPLETELY TO MY LIKING)., I went into the night program feeling pretty good. In what can only really be described as an unfortunate racing incident, however, I ended up hobbling off the track after getting landed on in my heat race(I GOT LANDED BY PARTRIDGE BECAUSE IM SO FAST THAT MY YAMMY CANT TRACK STRAIGHT AFTER THE LANDING OF THE TRIPLE AND I DRIFTED RIGHT). I was in pretty bad shape, but I tried my best to get back out there to race for as many points as possible in the main event. After a rough start, I found myself battling mid-pack, which ended in a pileup on lap five with Reed. The accident itself was a bummer, but while I was getting up, CR hit me in the back of my head.(YOU KNOW HOW PAINFUL A SLAP OF A HAND WEARING A MOTOCROSS GLOVE IS WHEN THE OTHER RIDER IS LAYING DOWN AND I HAVE A HELMET ON) Needless to say, I was pretty dissatisfied with his decision to do so, especially given the fact that it’s not the first time this has happened. (GUESS WHAT YOU ARE SO DIRTY YOU HAVE A BULLSEYE ON YOUR BACK)

From there, I simply rode my best to salvage as many points as possible, and then after the race went straight back to the pits to have a chat with Chad about the incident. To say that I was frustrated at this point would be a huge understatement, so I think it was for the best that Chad, nor anyone from his team, could be found at their truck. (SO I THREW A TANTRUM AND KNOCKED HIS BIKE FROM THE STAND)

I want to race. That’s why I’m here.(THEN DONT SKIP PRACTICE SESSIONS) So to consistently have to look over my shoulder every time CR gets close has gotten really old. (GUESS ITS AS OLD TO ALL YOUR FELLOW COMPETITORS TO HAVE YOUR ASS JUMPING ACCROS THE TRIPLES) From where I sit, it sure seems like he has repeatedly tried to take me out, which makes me question his agenda. (CHAD MUST BE TRYING TO GET YOU A CONCUSSION WITH THAT SEVERE BLOW ON YOUR HELMET)

Thank you all for your loyal support, and I look forward to the championship battle that lies ahead.

Seems like everyone is stating as fact that JS moved over on KP's line. Is this based on the video? I watched it a bunch, but never saw a camera angle that clearly showed JS moving over on KP.

Not saying it didn't happen, but just asking - what is everyone basing it on?

What's he going to do, stop? His pace in the main was 3 seconds off his practice time, Reed was in a position where he absolutely had to get on the box to stay close in the points, yet Reed rode directly behind him for 5 laps in 11th place. Obviously, Reed had some reason to want to stay right behind Stewart, he had dozens of opportunities to pass and he didn't take them.

But whatever. Reed is out of the series, so he dealt out his own punishment, Stewart is 16 points down and banged up, so he's got his own punishment, and Dungey and Villopoto are 1 and 2 in the series because they're just showing up and racing, so that's their reward. It all works out - except for Kyle Partridge, who's the only guy that has a real beef with anything. He's lucky to be alive, from the looks of that wreck.

I don't think we need to crucify anyone... I just think it's pathetic putting it forward like i'm an angel, Chad's the devil... Especially using a slap, which if my broken hand is under you, you'll be lucky just to get that... and then it's ok if I go in there and push over the other guys bike... get real...

It was a racing incident, get over it...

We don't know if he has apologized to Kyle Patridge or not, he might have, but could have written it in his statement here...

But then again he is being coached by Larry Brooks so what do you expect...

Must we really try and brush off poor racing risks, poor sportsmanship and pathetic childish behavior because the perpetrator has been given holier-than-thou status in their sport?

jeez...if it were your bike, your broken hand and all of that from a dude who can't seem to hold his line over a jump...well then, so be it...

p.s. he won't regret SHIT
