He said all you desk jocky's that love to hate on him could suck it. You aren't racing fans you are just here to bitch and hate on people you are envious of.
And his bike will look like this again if he dedicates hisself and is 100%

To me, J-Law is...well, J-Law. Nothing more, nothing less. I like him, love watching him race, shake my head sadly when I hear that he's in trouble, and out of races.
Personally, I kind of didn't get his attitude in the press conference, but I also don't have to live in his shoes.
While getting ready for the first moto, he had his hair tied back in a ponytail, and another photographer and I went to shoot a shot of it, and he was commenting, "Oh, now I'm all popular again." Whatever. There are 39 other guys on the gate that I can shoot photos of. He's alternately entertaining and frustrating.
I'm paraphrasing, but he did say that he'd finally realized that racing is his one talent, and that he has to take it seriously. I hope that reaization doesn't take all the fun out of it for him, and that he still enjoys doing it. Otherwise he might be fairly miserable for the next few years. Here's hoping that he gets 100% out of his racing, and doesn't look back a few years from now and wish that he'd done things differently.

Yes I agree Guy-B, Hopefully he has realized what all us already knew and will put 100% into the thing he was born to do.
I've never heard you say anything bad about him so i dont know where that comment came from but that's his style, he knows you don't make these guys on here say or comment what they do...........
Be cool if he does get it now; sounded kinda like it on the podium and it's not too late now.
And that goes for a lot of the stuff that people post about other riders, team managers, mechanics, officials, etc.
I'm not here to try and put anyone on a pedestal, or to knock them back off. I just try and shoot and report what I see and hear.
First of all, the haters arent worth the time to post anything. So screw the haters, aside from the haters there are the J-Law supporters and that sect is separated into the diehards who support him no matter what and the others, myself included, who just want him to focus on racing and do what we all know he can do. Win.
the other stuff is none of my business and i could care less. what he does on the track, when he does, is what i look at and judge my opinion of him on.
therefore, i think he's a grade A bad ass.
Will you write that in Blood?
It's ok I have a new sig line..... heheheheh
I think it was two years ago at Perris when they had their night race in which Ramsey won and J. Alessi i think got second. So after the race my daughter and I are walking around and see Jason talking with Josh Grant, which happen to be two of my favorite riders. So I talk my daughter into taking a picture with them. I approach them, and ask if they have time for a picture. They thought I wanted one of them together, and said it wasn't a good idea. I said no, one with my daughter. They both start talking to her. (she's like 14 at the time) Talked for a few minutes to us, then they both said sure they would take a pic with her. I took one of her and Jason first. I check out the pic and I had the races setting on the camera still. Jason see's I'm looking at the pic and asks did it turn out? I say no, and he says "here take another one." Daughter put that on her Myspace and got all kinds of comments on it. She was all happy. Not as happy she is everytime she gets a pic with Jeff Alessi, but she was happy.
Second story.... Last year nationals Toyota gave a way like a flag thing with any number you wanted ironed on. My son, knowing I like Jason got one with 338. This year it was still in the trailer. My son is riding his bike around looking for free swag and runs into Jason by himself. He goes up to him and says he has this flag at camp and would he come sign it?? Jason asks "where are you camped?" Son tells him, and he says he will be by in a few. Son comes riding his bike back and is in a panic telling everyone we are camped with Jason is coming by to sign the flag. Everyone just brushes it off as the pro rider telling a 11 year old kid anything to just get him to leave him alone. Doesn't phase my son. He finds the flag and clamps it to the canopy. Few minutes later Jason shows up, now everyone is freaking out because he showed up and I'm not there. He signed the flag and a few other things, talked with everyone, then went on his way. I missed the whole thing cause I was out looking for shit to take picture of.
All the shitty stories about Jason, just thought I'd share a couple of cool ones. Sorry for the long read.

I dont believe that you need to have met someone to actually have a pretty fair assessment of them. Just basing things from someones actions will usually get you in the ball game. Not defending some of the things people post, but how much better do you know someone when you've done red carpet interviews.( not refering to you)
Jason and others like him have put themself in a position to be scrutinized. If they dont like it get out or sober up.
As much as there is some crazy stuff posted, some of it is the truth and lets face it alot of people dont like the truth.
As far as media goes, I'm pretty sure even you have to sugar coat things from time to time.
Last but not least " I spose if you where in his shoes he'd be wrapping up a 450 national championship not looking at jail time".
It was a perfect recipe for disaster and so far it hasn't played out too good.
I've been a J-Law fan for five years since LL's in 2004 and will continue to be one.
FU to all the HATERS!!!!!
Now if we could just convince you that a lot of the stuff that you post that's intended as humor isn't really very funny...
blame oldx....
