I was listening to the Pulpmx show like I do every week and when Matthes asked Jbone if James would be doing outdoors, his response was we haven't discussed that with him yet.
I am not a JS hater at all, but that response is pathetic. Last couple years he was on a SX only team. He probably could have done outdoors if he wanted to bad enough. One of his excuses was that he wasn't prepared enough to fully commit to the outdoors or something like that.
What could possibly be his reason this year for not running the outdoors? JGR does outdoors, therefore JS should do outdoors. When Jbone was asked the response should have been " of course he is doing outdoors, our team is not SX only and he is on our team so that means he will be in for the outdoors". If they had Roger on or Kawi's Manager it wouldn't even be a question they would ask about RD or RV.
ThIs year when James doesn't do outdoors (yeah I would be shocked if he does) will prove that it had nothing to do with the team he was on the last 3 years. It will show that the whole time he didn't want to race outdoors. I know someone during an interview last year asked him if he would race outdoors this year and he said even if he has to drive his own pickup truck to the races he will be doing outdoors. You know if James told Jbone or Gibbs that he wanted to race outdoors they would be excited so that isn't holding him back. I am curios what the excuse will be this year. And for some crazy reason if he does race outdoors, why wouldn't he have said it was definite when he signed with JGR?
We all hear it is the bike why he isn't doing well in SX. To me I think he is loosing out by not racing outdoors. The other guys are racing and competing all summer and getting better while he is taking all that time off.
I am probably going to get lambasted from all the JS fans on here, but I would just really like to see him do the outdoors especially now with Reed out.

He aint doin em
The Shop
I hope he doesn't make the same mistake again
I think the reason JS is struggling is because of this very thing, James for the past few years has been a part time racer.
He will not be able to keep his edge against the rest of the top riders if he only races part time.
It is only obvious that RV RD have raised the bar, and you know when some of the top lites rider's move up it will only get harder for him to win
James is now one the veterans of the 450 class he should not be in this position trying to explain on Speed every Sat night what went wrong
I am not a JS hatter, I would love to see JGR win a Championship
the intensity RV is bringing at the moment is at least as heavy as RC did and James didn't beat RC for a season either...
I am a pretty much die-hard Stewart fan, i have been since 1993 when I saw him on a PW50 at Ponca City...
and NO you aren't going to get blasted for your post, because you aren't posting HATE...you are posting an honest opinion that wasn't just an attack on him...but a rational explanation from the outside looking in. Obviously there is a frustration in your post...every moto fan that happens to like stew will agree...if being honest
and i believe you are correct from top to bottom...as a stewart fan...I am losing interest in him more every summer...
the only thing you messed up is 'loosing' should be 'losing'...carry on
And No Chad was not the only one pushing RV are you forgetting RD??
Seems ole james is more full of shit than a xmas turkey. And you wonder....wow.
Pit Row
MLK didn't hide, he delt with any prejudice up front. Don't tell us James must hide...
James still rides super good. But when he isnt dominating he gets frustrated...and it shows.
And those who blame the bike are wrong. The most blame for James position is his own mind. If he only rode more smart and patient I promise he would have been in a much better position.
It so obvious that most crashes comes when making bad decisions. If James can ride so damn good, and his bike look so dialed in his heatraces , why would it not do the same in the finals !?
He looked spot on last year up until he took that kick funny-
my 2cents-
And YES he was so bloody FAST last year at Daytona if he hadn't fallen he would have won that race by 20 seconds but that's the BIG if in james's riding.
Either way i say it's better to have James racing than not. So fingers crossed he's on the starting gates come May at Hangtown .
New year and Poto has some mean confidence going but that florida sand is new to one guy and home to another so we will see-
