If you have been around since his amateur days you would know that big James is an emotional father. Is that a bad thing? I think not, he lays it out there like it or not and has a heart of gold as does his wife. So, there you have it.

Unless James Sr. is holding a pit board, and wrenching on James's bike, he has no business on the floor period.

Again

James Sr. has had an all access credential since James turned pro.

BTW: Yes I know.

I think James wanted some words with Reed. If you watch, Big James is yelling at James to go to the pits. He was hot but it looked like he was trying to get James to leave.
That is what i figured was going down. Can't be sure from the TV. It seemed to me like JS might have wanted to confront Reed and Big James was yelling at him to get back to the truck to avoid a further escalation.

You know James would have scored a lot of points with a lot of people if he had ignored his dad and stuck around to get interviewed and take a "that's racing" attitude to show he's a bigger man than a lot of people give him credit for. He's 25 and a multimillionaire--time for Daddy to let Junior be his own man.

Villopoto was interviewed when he was off the podium--I think last week. Are you actually saying if Stewart was hanging around there after that they WOULDN'T interview him. Are you crazy?Wink

I want to see a rivalry again... but also really like the fact that lately they seem to be respectful off the track. A lot of kids watching these guys week in and week out.

Big James shouldn't be involved like that now. James is a man at 26. I guess I should be down on the construction site yelling at my kids fellow workers if they do something to him too.

Was RC close enough to hear what was being said by James Sr.? If not, it was all speculation by RC as well.

Big James knew js left the door open and got what the best in the world would deliver. Big James was ashamed of JS. As would any meglamaniac. Is this new to you?

That's his son and he has a damn right to yell at the boy if he wants. It's none of your business.

I think James was about to go for the jugular before Big James jumped in and told him he wasn't going to go for the jugular and that if anyone was going to go for the jugular it was going to be Big James going for the jugular. So Bubba didn't go for the jugular and went to the pits instead.

Exactly...Reed is probably glad Sr. told him to roll to the pits.

This is pro level racing, not mini bike stuff.
James is a man. A man that is financing his dads, and the rest of the families life styles. It's no wonder to me that LB is out at San Manuel, and you just saw how the new management is going to handle things.

I don't care if you are a James fan or not, that was a big mistake by Sr.

Just to be clear, is all this speculation, or do some of you have actual facts of what James Sr. was saying to JS?

I think Big James was upset because some of the bad decisions Bubba made on the track, it was very uncharacteristic of him. He made some poor line choices and rode tenative for the first half of the race. Not like the Bubba I am used to seeing.
Chad rode with alot of confidence but the take out move was very questionable.

That's what I thought I saw too... on TV. Of course, not being there, I really have no idea what actually happened, just as I have no idea why jmar thinks Sr's behavior was embarrassing.

That was a hell of a story but fell one jugular short of being a winner.

Jmar,
I see quite a few people on the floor that appear to not have a position to be there, so I agree with you on that. Big James has been there since James started with Kawi on 125s so he may be grandfathered in or "fathered in".
My main point was that he has always been very emotional and has never held back but on the flip side, when you get to know him he is an awsome guy who cares about his kids and family and even the other competitors as well. Although Reed may not be on his "favorite" list right now.
Still, this was great racing and everyones emotions were running high, I was watching and my wife thought she may have to call an ambulance after this one. It jus felt good to see real racing where the 450 guys were going for it win or lose. Again this is not attacking any other rider, just an emotiional hard fought race down to the wire. I may not sleep tonight.
Talk to you later.
