When did it become unfair to criticize a public figure? Imagine how a 21 year old major league baseball player feels when he drops a fly ball and 50,000 assholes want him to die because of it. Imagine what Bill Buckner went through after he f'ed up for every Bostonian that was relying on his ability to pick up a ground ball to fulfill their miserable lives. J-Law gets it easy because he could turn it around in an instant and no MX fan is relying on him to make their lives meaningful. None of us care if he succeeds or doesn't. Just irritating to see such a stupid shit as him. How do we feel bad for him as he's tooling around in his Bentley Continental? Walk in his shoes? I'd take those shoes and get to work and get about kicking some ass in MX. Those shoes would be stomping some holes in people on the track if I had his talent. Like someone else said, you can't get through to people like this. Not a friend, not a team manager, not a judge can get through to him. The sad fact is that he will probably end up back in jail at some point or with a drinking or drug problem. It's too bad but I'm sure he's told people once or twice that it is after all, his life.

If I was starting a satellite team tomorrow, J-Law would be on my speed dial.

I don't condone everything he has done.
But it is a lot less than some NASCAR guys do just getting to the track so the stories are told.

My moral compass isn't that sharp.
I'd like to see 338 come back.
Speaking of coming back.....you gonna make it down for Phx SX this year???

Very long story short is that it seems like a perfect storm of crap has hit all of the Alaskan boys simultaneously. All have met & agreed to storm TJ's for staying at his place and trucking over to Vegas for the finals at Sam Boyd.
Hurts me bad to say we are going to miss the PHX-SX this year.
Its been a tradition.

J law and izzie make a good combo. Two great riders counted out.

A chip on their shoulders and something to prove.

I like a story like that.

Well lets see, i ve never been arrested, never got drunk and rolled a rental car, and never bit one of my friends ears off, never pulled off a pro nat l event to ride the side sx track(budds creek), never did time in jail,never got kicked out of a mx track, and if i did any of those things my employer would nt give me the chances that J Flaw has had! Poor J law, he has had it so bad LOL.!

If anyone has seen how the guy acts out of the media or away from the track, it is exactly what you'd think given his history. He is the guy at parties that just makes you shake your head for how ridiculous they act. Just reckless with no respect or regard for anything. I have experienced it first hand on many occasions.

I remember seeing him just days after he got out of the pen and he was supposed to be a new guy but he hadn't changed a bit- just the same old immature antics....

The guy has dug his own grave and had many opportunities to turn it around. I don't feel bad for him one bit.

I know of people with a million times worse problems than J-law. He isn't that bad, just gets in the most trouble of any current pro motocross racer... that we know of. My guess is that J-laws decline in results is due more to the general bad attitude towards him from the press and retards on the internet than him not wanting to be at the races. You don't forget how to ride and he knows what it takes to win. If he didn't care, he would have hung it up already!!!!!

So long as he's not in an alley somewhere shooting up, he doesn't need saving just yet. He knows what's up. It's just a matter of doing it or not.
