I am hoping he does the first few rounds then gets the bug to keep going, and goes on to defend his title.

I'd rather he didn't race the whole series so we could see some racing for first place. Without Chad and James in the pic there would be a lot of guys with a chance of winning a race. James and Chad should throw them a bone. lol.

I could careless if James does any of the Nationals,he has already proven himself in American MX.

However,I want to see him race some GP's.
I think it would be great for him and all the fans on both sides of the pond.
So how about it James?

I agree, gets boring when the 1st place guy is half a track ahead.

Hell I would LOVE to see him race the GP's but I dont think it will happen.

Hell even Alessi raced right?

I'm sure if James wanted he could get a deal together, he's got the connection and anywhere he went he would be a huge star over there.

Won't JSE cover his costs?

I actually think James would crash himself up over there. He's not familiar with the tracks like he is the USA tracks and if he gets going warp speed he might have troubles.

For once buddy I am going to have to agree with you. The GPs are a whole different ball game. Tracks are different, living conditions are different and James's support staff wouldn't be as effective.

He would do well but wouldn't be as dominate as he is he in the states.

That carries a lot of weight considering that it’s coming from a guy that hides behind a computer screen and won't even disclose his name. I am sure that you are one of those elite individuals that belong to the "CORE" club.

I wouldn't go as far as saying he is a pussy. I don't like James, but i do recal him saying he was going to have some riding clinics and helping out Motocross Racing in general, hence James Stewart Entertainment. But, I do like the fact he is reaching out. As far as him racing the National series, i couldn't see him doing Unadilla (hometown racetrack) considering he hates that place. haha.

Lenny,

This isn't a slam on James. It's more about moving someone out of their element than it is anything else. I have known kids that have tried to run the GPs and it's like living in a total different world. My son has also raced over seas at a few of the off season indoor races and he had a hard time adjusting to everything from the food to the simple things like getting his suspension from one place to another.

Different world over there and some here don't have the respect they should for those overseas riders that choose to come to the US. James is the fastest man in the world here but complicate things and turn his world upside down and it would affect his performance.

Jim,

That's exactly what i mean. No doubt James would be insanely fast no matter where he rides. But he knows the AMA tracks well, and his support is great.

Lots of people struggle when they go to Europe, I didn't mean for it to sound like a jab at James. It's just the way it is. Food, culture, travel, living conditions etc are much different.

I don't know. He just rubs me the wrong way i guess. But I guess it's just mostly because he's a competitor and when he was down in the 125 class, he wasn't a threat to Ricky Carmichael. But, when Chad Reed moved up, I didn't like Chad. It's mostly because he's a competitor that could win the Championship, and is faster. Anyone that is a competitor, i don't like. haha But now that he's moved up and Ricky is retired, I like Chad and dislike James.

How could someone not like James. He is the most natural raw talent that this sport has ever seen.

I don't know. Maybe becuase he's just so dominant. I didn't even watch the race today becuase it's just boring. But the parts I did watch, it was good because of the battles. I just hope he doesn't race nationals. Plus, if he does race them, he might not be as prepared if he has all that stuff going on.

They switch up Glen Helen every year and sure as shit Lakewood Colorado was a new track and so was Texas.


Matter of fact James schooled everyone on 125cc back in '02 when others were on the 250f.........and he'd never raced any of those tracks.

He used to let guy's pass him on hilly old school GP tracks that he'd never ridder.....just so he could pass them back and shut their mouths because he heard them talking some junk in the pits.

The GP's are another walk through for James......just like the SX has been from day one.

My guess:

He does the live rounds, x games and maybe a gp or three.

AKA: Press races.




If I were him i'd get a hold of yami & burkhart after vegas and get some supermoto time in before the x games. Throw that on top of the above mentioned races and he gets more press than going 24-0 last summer.
