1. How about working the booth with Holley?
2. How about working the booth with Emig like injured Josh Hill did?
3. How about showing up on the podium for opening ceremonies?
4. How about just showing up in the pits give sign autographs or just give posters out?
The kid just hides all the time from the fans.
Oh yeah he did one fan ride day at Milestone only because IMHO everyone was hating on him for not racing the nationals.
IMHO The guy just doesn't seem to care about the fans too much.
Shorty is now doing videos? Why not James?
IMO I like the way the kid races but damn sometimes it just seems as if he does everything backwards and wrong.
I'm paying 100 bucks for tickets...so it the guy next to me and the guy next to him...
IMO Jame's step up buddy.
I think he did three of the ride days if I'm not mistaken.

He is healing up to get back out there as quick as he can i guess, that is what comes first. If he isnt racing when the circus hits the East he might hit a race then when they are closer to home.
See my avatar. It is just for guys like you. Noob.
Not that you're wrong, but quit yer whinin.
"Hey! I'm your fan, dammit! Pay attention to me! Give me your time! Show me you care about me! DON'T YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT I AM?? You said you do it all for the fans, but you must be lying! Why aren't you like Pastrana and MC? Why aren't you like Reed and Grant? Dammit man, don't you know by now that racing is not enough? You've got to GIVE, man, give something back to the sport!
Because if you don't, we'll just hate you. We'll actually stop showing up for your races. We'll stop paying for tickets. We'll even stop buying the bikes and gear you endorse. And you know you don't want THAT to happen..."
That about right?
You never know what is going on behind the scenes- but you better believe that if James sponsors wanted him there, he would be there.
of course james should be doing a lot more for his fans and specially for his sponsors.....
what's the point on contracting and paying the best if the fans and the market don't get to see it......
james latelly acts like he is above mx and it is a favor he does to came out and ride......
i feel bad that he got to that.......i loved to see him ride back when he was a racer trying to make it.......
it might get to him comes contract time...!!!!!!
Pit Row
JS gets hurt in A2 (well actually PHX but operated on before SF) so if he shows up at A3, well then he did the same as Chad.
You know, when your hurt, you do need to do the things neessary for you to heal that way you can get back to racing ASAP.
By the way, we all do our jobs for the money. He just gets paid more becasue people watch what they can't do. Give the guy a break already.
Is James left or right handed? Which hand did he break?
If James goes to a show, he signs autographs for hours on end...with which hand? He'd be expected to do it if he went to an SX wouldn't he? Especially since he's not riding, right?
JS injured Right
Dont know if they are right or left handed, but your thoughts are correct.
Pastrana just pulled off the Glen Helen circuit after a practice session and rides into the pits, gets off the bike and hobbles to his chair, agony in his face, holding his knee...and to my disbelief... fans waving things over the pit fence for him to autograph. You know what he did? We all know what he does, he got up out of the chair and signed everyone of them items...with a smile. I think those fans were wrong to insist on autographs...the poor kid was in pain and needed to recover...yet he did it for the fans. Fans will never turn on Pastrana.
James is a champion...like Langston, Mcgrath, Bailey, Johnson, Ward, Emig, Henry, RC, Reed...but IMO he doesn't act like a champion. It's my fault to hold him up to the same bar as the pevious champions. I grew up in the McGrath era where it was just RIGHT to talk to the fans and promote the sport in the media. IMO does James promote the sport? Nah.
I still remember McGrath on Loveline, Kilborn Show, David Letterman, ....
IMO I think JS is just taking too much from the sport and not giving back nor promoting it. IMO For the Champion to sit at home on Saturday night and not fly into to meet the fans tells the story of James.
Would James ever go to the Motobowl to help charity? IMO Nah...never.
