Maybe he should focus on GP's before he gets hurt...

Looked pretty rough...he tried to fight it but he was carrying a fair bit of speed.

Whenever he decides to come over to the US he will get it. Roczen, his counterpart, struggled a little as well and his crashes filled the highlight reelz of the west coast supercross series last year.

Definitely is not the best SX rider I've seen.

If he gets a little stronger he will be on it!! I think that RC4 went down allot to in his first SX season!! He was blistering fast but went so much down!! A bit like Kenny Roczen last year!!

He looks good, really good actually. He's what, 16? 15? He made a mistake and fell in the whoops, but the vital experts are saying he sucks at SX. Interesting perspectives, from the guys who've never hit supercross whoops.

and no American has ever taken a spill like that... LOL.

Oh wait, Stewart's last race in Vegas had a similar ending, also taking out Windham.

I think the kid looks good, but good luck will only carry you so far with spills like that. Hopefully he doesn't take many more, odds are against him walking away every time.

Stewart was riding with over the counter suspension, you could have got his forks. This year will be different and when james was his age he was doing it on a 125 with style..................

Stewart had tracks like this to practice on since he was on a supermini.

Give him some time, he learns fast.

You may bag on DDavis, but sometimes he gets it right on the money.....like this.
