Gotta be in it to win it, keep gagging though… see how that works?
I see your point, but he's already won as many premier class titles as Stew did. I would be extremely surprised if he doesn't win at least 2 more SX titles and another 2-3 MX, which would put him at around 7-8 premier class combined.
Where I think his potential will be capped is putting together the best career in each respective discipline. He has the talent and speed to put together a McGrath-esque SX career and a Carmichael-esque MX career, but these injuries are making that lofty goal damn near impossible.
Weak field ? More like stacked field. I watched 96 Daytona lastnight McGrath,s 1st win there. He dominated all the Heat races were stacked . Problably the most stacked gate ever.
I figured MC missed a race in 1991 with the broken leg but I looked it up and it's only kinda true, he raced San Jose with a custom brace and skipped last round after clinching west championship so I guess it doesn't count. I was at that race, was hoping to see Cooper win one but Dubach was pretty cool to see too.

Jeremy was also known for his free riding in the Southern California deserts: primarily in Ocotillo Wells and Glamis. When you factor in the risk associated with this type of riding; not to mention, all of his social activities he was doing during this same time period (like: wakeboarding, BMX, surfing, snowboarding, jet skiing, mountain biking), it makes him being “injury free” for all of those years just that much more impressive.
“Showtime” truly was on another level when stacked up next to his competitors!!!
And you know he raced at least 1 (likely many many more) race hungover..
Nah, I doubt it.
He's said more than once that he did like having a good time, but played up the party guy life in season to give the impression he wasn't working hard.
The guys would have a night out after a race, not before.
It was also a blessing in disguise, Stew took so many knocks to the head that he needed Adderall to stay sharp and focused. That brought a ton of awareness to the sport and CTE
James was his own worst enemy , imo. I thought James could have done way more with his career , he was the most talented rider of his era. He just didn’t put in the work. Had he worked the way RC did he may have eclipsed MC’s record. I have always thought that after RC retired he thought he was going to dominate and worked even less. He wasn’t prepared for RV. Maybe by then he was just wore out battling with RC and just didn’t have the fight in him anymore. James could have had more wins and championships but I don’t think WADA had anything to do with it.
I surely hope this post wound up on the Dumbgeon
This has to be a bot post.
Hard to believe in 5 days this will be 30 yrs ago 👑
I saw him at Millville in 91 he flew to Rochester, Ny. By accident. I,m sure it was last minute to get to the track. He Looked fast & Strong as hell yet. I saw him race sx on a 250 a few times. Born to ride a bike . More natural than you walking . I watched 96 Daytona last week his 1st win there . He totally dominated. All heat races were stacked . 11-19 he had a birthday not sure how old he is . Mine is 11-18 so it’s easy to remember. 100% U can tell he’s a Scorpio . Even little things like wake boarding, boating . Buying a house on a lake that’s scorpio thing. Or being close to water. Most of the fast guys R Scorpio,s.
😂
