Thanks I didn’t see that article. I was busy lately so I have less time to read them!
I figured he would stay with them if they kept the team going.
TJ and his family are really good people! His dad always has funny stories of his days racing, growing up in Peru and moving to Mexico riding for a circus and then to Florida, traveling with his best friend back in the days which was a pet monkey! Haha
His dad is really successful too owning several businesses, he used to imports and probably still
Import Oakley and Underarmor in Peru, he also co-own RED Cameras and was developing the cell phone but it didn’t really picked up. But anyway!

The surprise 450 rider for PRMX is Justin Hill technically, been hearing that for around a month. He went to SOB to ride the bike.

If you’re Frye, isn’t it time to call it a career and move on? He rode for the most successful team in the pits over the last five years and wasn’t able to perform at a level that got him another contract (or made him any money). What are the odds that Frye’s results (and associated income) will improve if he moves to a second or third tier team? He got his shot and it didn’t work out for him.

Sadly that is how a lot of the industry treats these kids. Frye is not much different than: Charbonneau, Falk, Cantrell, Bailey, Mumford, and a host of others over the past 10-12 years. The "sign 'em up young as amateur" model is so badly flawed. Kids don't race enough, get coddled at facilities, only ride the best equipment so they dominate when they do race, then turn pro and get whupped by guys who have been in the 250 class for 5+ years (see: Zacho, J-Mart, McElrath, Davalos et al). In so many ways this model is doomed to fail all but the truly "generational" talents and I'm sure a few kids who get eaten up could develop into race winners if given a bit more time.

This sounds exactly like one of Matthes' rants, I know.

I hope Jarrett Frye finds a decent ride for 2022.

I get what you're saying, but Yamaha, Honda and Kawasaki have been very successful mining future champions from the amateur ranks. Sucks for the ones that don't pan out like Frye, but moving to another team with less pressure to win might be a better situation for him. It's got to be tough sitting alone back at the truck mulling over your 14-16 day while the rest of the team is still at the podium celebration.

One could argue that over the past 15 years Honda and the 250 program at FC Honda had its greatest success mining talent that was developed on other bikes, outside of Justin Barcia. Trey Canard and Justin Bogle came up with Team Green and Eli Tomac was a Suzuki kid. And Chase Sexton was on a Yamaha. All 4 of these riders moved to Honda and FC deals for only their final seasons of amateur racing.

This is kind of what Star did with Frye, only it hasn't worked out in their eyes. I wonder how many years Bogle would have gotten on Star? His first 2 full seasons on FC Honda were certainly up and down.

Bogle may have been up and down but he had 2 podiums in his rookie SX season. The teams just need to see some flashes of potential to know they have something to work with.

Frye's best race finish in regional SX was 10th and he failed to qualify from the LCQ twice. Meanwhile his fellow rookie and teammate Nate Thrasher won twice, fellow rookie Seth Hammaker won a race and had 3 podiums, and fellow rookie Stilez Robertson also had a podium. Nobody is expecting podiums, but from the team's perspective it would be nice the see the guy get in the mix and get some exposure at some point. His outdoor season was equally uninspiring. Why keep him on the payroll when he is out performed by his fellow rookie teammate (Thrasher) and incoming rookie teammate (Kitchen), with more talent coming in the Star pipeline?

He may have a long and successful career but at this point I don't think he's a fit with Star Yamaha's goals and expectations.

If you’re Frye, isn’t it time to call it a career and move on? He rode for the most successful team in the pits over the last five years and wasn’t able to perform at a level that got him another contract (or made him any money).
