So…JLaw is so full of himself that his character can’t be questioned by the people paying his way? He gets all huffy and walks out on the team like a whiney baby?

Phoenix has gotten more publicity with Jlaw this autumn than they have gotten in the whole year. Don't know what they were expecting if this is true. Jlaw is a curiosity that draws a lot of attention, but you absolutely never know what you are getting out of him.

 

Bummer deal though, I doubt we will see Jlaw in arenacross after this

Couldn’t emphasis “not knowing what you’ll get out of him” enough. Dude is a very talented rider. Was hoping he would embrace this opportunity to stay in the industry. Even if the results were to not be there in AX at 36 years old, I feel like if he could’ve just put the work in and gelled with everyone on the team he could’ve been beneficial in a role such as a test rider for DF14’s bike. Once again, what could have been.

Main event ? He wouldn't make the night show .

While that's an interesting idea, we don't know if jlaw was any good at testing..... in 2009, when he was fast.

 

He'd have zero ability to offer input on a ferrandis bike at this point.

I totally see both of your points. I should have clarified, I was speaking hypothetically in the event that he managed to mature enough during the x amount of years he was incognito. Guy obviously knows how to ride a dirt bike, if he were able to clearly communicate what a bike is and isn't doing and what needs to be done to make it competitive he could've had a nice little deal with Phoenix. And yeah I highly doubt he was much of a good test rider when he was fast.

You guys are freaking negative!

It doesn't matter what age.  Everyone has the ability to reinvent themselves, and when they do, we should not continue to condemn them for, or constantly remind them where they're coming from.

As long as J-Law stays sober, another opportunity will present itself, or he'll work things out with Phoenix.

It would be really cool to see JLAW ride with DF14 during the week.  There's still a few things DF14 could learn from him, and obviously the other way around.  It would be good for them both.

I hope he continues to move forward, and do what he feels is best for his own life.

And I think most of us would like to see him racing again in one format or another.

Assuming the story happened as reported, why would they hire him in the first place and then ask him some “what are your intentions with my daughter” type shit? The guy is known for nothing if not a mercurial talent. Did you think he was coming back as a born again Christian? 
 

And yes, J-Law was petty to walk away from a team for asking him how serious he was. But don’t get a badger as a house pet and act shocked when you come home to holes in couch.

Funniest darn post I've read in a long time....lmao

Of all the people out there you could lend support to, not sure why moto keeps giving guys like this chances over and over again and expecting it to end differently. If someone tells you who they are, believe them. 

Have you see all the forum threads, social media posts, and talk about JLaw racing again?

That’s why.

Wish nothing but the best for him. Must suck not being able to just go out and ride without eyes on you and undue pressure from “fans”.

He can just go out and ride without all the attention. Going on podcasts talking about your comeback is what brought all the attention. Do you think he hasn’t ridden a dirtbike in the last 10 years or something? Do you think he just started riding again a month or two ago when all the attention started?

Crazy I got told a few weeks ago I was being way too harsh when I said i don’t care what is being shown on the surface and how he isn’t on the straight and narrow (not even close..). Once again some people may know more than you think

You're right, he had the ability to be battling with the ryan's on big bikes, just didn't want it.

Damn, between him, Izzi, and Stroupe, this is the closest we've seen to a comeback.

I was there and he didn't last long.

There are known unknowns and unknown unknowns.

JLaw is neither.

It is known whenever you deal with JLaw that <insert knowns HERE>.

Whatever the story, I suspect that there was a massive ramp-up in attention and pressure to interview and be constantly pushed for response etc.


For a guy trying to recover himself from a long period of problems and behavior issues I would think that is the exact opposite of what he wanted for himself.

Bailing out on all that doesn't seem so bad to me...

I hope he finds a way to be happy within himself. It would appear he hasn't managed to do that as yet.

Exactly, and not only is he 36, the dude barely if ever rode a dirt bike over the past decade so how does anyone expect he is going to get anywhere remotely close to a decent pro level now? Look at the guys in their early 30's now who have been on the grind for 15 years and how hard it is for them? Look at Phil for example. Is JLaw going to come back and keep pace with Phil? Fuck no. This whole thing is just so unrealistic it isn't even funny. Hey, don't wish the guy any ill will, he had his time at the top, could have had way more of it, chose not to do it, and that was that. End of story. Let it go people.

I believe it was Weege's vlog where JLaw was talking about doing one-off special events and traveling across the country and that sort of thing. Seemed like his goals/expectations were realistic. That being said, I hope we can finally move on because the number of "false starts" that this JLaw racing revival has been through has gotten boring.
