Clear footage of all his crashes at Unadilla.

It "seems" where he crashes is not that technical of a section.

Maybe there needs to be a balance between James & Jamie.

I'm thinking back of the races I've seen him go down. He rarely just wrecks, he constantly wipes out borderline violently. I'm glad he has not been seriously injured.

Hope he has a health 2013 SX season.

I'm not a Stewart fan, but the guy receives too much shit in my opinion. Yea, he has made some bad/questionable calls with his career in the past (bubba's world, playing cop, the list on goes on), but the guy obviously has a good attitude. The sport needs him alot more than he needs the sport... he keeps it interesting. Hopefully he comes out swinging at the MEC with all the rest of the top guys. It's been too long since it was exciting in this class.

The sport needs him more than he needs the sport? I'm sure he could find another was to make a living, but probably not for the money he makes in mx. He's been away more than he has raced in the last few years and moto just keeps on keeping on.

Get back to 100% for A1. That goes for all the top guys. Also, all the top guys just stay healthy for the entire season. That's all I want for Christmas.

Do you really think he needs the money at this point? He could sell off what he has and still live VERY comfortable for the rest of his days. How much would you personally call "enough" to retire? I garuntee he has that amount... and more. How many private jets do you have?

He didn't have to race this summer, nor did he have to come back at Unadilla. The odd part was that I saw in an interview he said something to the effect of (paraphrazing) "They wanted me back at 'Dilla, even though thats not my favorite track". Still racing for the fun/love of the sport?

And yes, the sport has kept on going without him. It did the same after Everts, RC, Hannah, Johnson, ect, ect. Never said the sport couldn't survive without him, just said it's better with him involved (racing wise).
