Every person has to measure the investment / return equation for themselves. It could shift anytime due to a combination of the risk of physical injury, the actual financial cost of continued participation, the degradation of physical capabilities, or even the loss of the social group or location you ride with/at. The equation shifted for me at age 59, following...

The Rick Johnson podcast is the best thing Matthes has done in a long time. I just love that Rick has such a compelling personality and the ability to articulate his thoughts and history. Take this podcast, and then add in Bob Hannah's podcast and it makes you feel that the current crop of Supercross and motocross racers need to...

I am glad you put the date on your topic title. It seems like every Unadilla finds James Stewart on the ground. Big Dog

At 26 years old, James should be in the absolute competitive prime of his riding and racing. A combination of a mature physicality and all his cumulative e, experience. Granted, he has done a lot of racing in those 26 years. However, If you examine the recent number of crashes and the repeated "misjudgements" and bad decisions, things just do...

Looking at the type and number of judgement errors and the number of crashes, I have this strong suspicion that James Stewart's numerous concussions over his career have resulted in sufficient long-term damage so that his balance and reflexes are now compromised, and will not allow him to race consistently at the level of his competition.
