What was Lance's book, "It's not about the bike"....
this could be "It's all about the politics".
Bravo JS7......
Corporate America 101:
1) When wronged, pushed, or otherwise, push back (get 'em at the pay window)
2) There's always 2 sides, 'til there is not.
3) Criticism is the best form of flattery.

Motives for coming back:
- Racing the Des Nations
- Filming a Reality TV Show at the Des Nations
Reasons not for coming back:
- The Fans
- Doesn't want to get smoked by Dungey
The Shop
Coming back after being off for so long, wasn't the smartest thing that he could have done. His chances were slim, and not winning was seen as a failure in the eye of his haters.
James had everything to lose, and nothing to gain.
Hey jmar,
You said "James had everything to lose, and nothing to gain."
hhmmmmm....nothing to gain huh?..... how about a little respect!!!
As much as I respect your knowledge of our sport and the time you put into it professionally from every angle, I respectfully disagree. JS7, to quote Mahummad Yunus (Winner-Nobel Peace Prize 2006) needs to read and understand what this means:
"We are the architects of our own fate"
You of all people should know that, before James became a teenager, he had more time along with all the blood, sweat and tears, invested in this sport, than all those who criticize him here. As far as appreciation for the lifestyle this sport has "given" him?
I don't believe anything was "given" to him. And as far as some of you believing that you are the source of funds that has paid for his lifestyle?
Your not, so get over it.
BTW: I am not a big JS fan, but I fully understand what he and his family has invested in his success.
However, as in anything, as one grows, becomes a commodity, as is the
case here, it's just business.
JS7 has become a business, a major corporation, a machine.
A powerful machine at that.
As in most businesses, there's that area for most of us, the fans, called
the lobby. In that lobby, you can come and go as you please.
You may not like the decor either, but again it's your choice to come or go.......
For me it's clear.
As far as to quote: "We are the architects of our own fate",
From my perspective, his "architecture" is just fine.
How about this 1: "for every action, there's a reaction".....

I used to love watching James ride, now I can't even remember what it was I liked? Thank god the new guard is fast and have interesting styles for me to focus on, since James' days are limited to only showing up on the days he feels he'll spank everyone.
And the fans aren't owed shit by JS7 so don't say its for the fans. The fans pay to see racing and they got that, with or with out him

I guess I take the Stewart crap personally since I have almost no reason to take it professionally (i have accounts with only two of his relatively minor sponsors), and I'm just plain 'over' the BS spewing out of L&M. Just tell the freakin' truth already, people....
MOTOCROSS IS HIS FUCKING JOB.
If you do drywall for a living, you go to work at least 5 days a week. Or you don't work. If you race motocross GET YOUR BITCH ASS TO THE TRACK.
Simple.
Thank you.
When Stewart and RC locked up in '06 and '07, it was simply impossible to go any faster than those guys were going. It was just inhuman. And when he went 24-0 in '08, he was winning by 30 seconds all the time. Not to mention winning 22 motos in '04 on probably the slowest motorcycle at the gate.
Say what you want about his personality or his lifestyle, but it's silly to denegrate his riding because you don't like him personally. The guy was an artist on a motorcycle, and, aside from RC, probably the fastest outdoor rider ever (with possible exception of Everts).
Just saying of course...
Hey, his big paycheck is SX, not MX.
Why deal with any of this?
Would any of you?
He and the people around him have worked very hard to get where he is.
Nothing was given to him.
He's a professional racer making a good living, a team and a system that has jelled.
Why risk another injury, doing something you and your team aren't really into anyway?
As a professional racer, a breadwinner, smart move imo.
Jmar, I know Stewart will sleep just fine without my respect. He obviously doesn't give a crap about me just the same as I don't give a crap about him!
Perhaps I should of made my point clearer. He could of gained a lot of respect from his peers and those that have given him both his past and his future!
I have seen and also read many an interview with past and present champions in ALL forms of sports where they appreciate the respect that they recieve from their peers.
In my opinion, those that don't appreciate or don't care for respect from their peers are arrogant and egotistical, and don't deserve to be called a true champion.
