If Broc Tickle had skipped it, Brooks would have been pissed!
Perhaps Stewart had better stuff to do than represent his team: Roller coasters? "Food poisoning" like he had at the US Open a few years ago? Blackjack? Roulette tables? Coke and hookers? Ping pong tournament? Discount buffet at the Rio? Free helicopter tours over the Hoover dam? No limit hold 'em with Mike and Worm over at Teddy KGB's place?

We want answers dammit! Where's the press release?

Ha it's none of your business !! I am gonna take a stab at it and just say (my own opinion) that he's just doing a mind game thingy with Chad, nothing more. He has a lot more to lose then anyone else right ?

James has H1N1, didn't want to spread it to Chad.

On another note I feel James is a primadonna. No Sat. practice, no Fri. press conference, what's next.

head games or not, it looks really bad on his part.

nothing like blowing the media off before the biggest and most important night of the season.

not to mention all the local press that attended.

None of our business is one of the most over used terms in mx. Hell yes it's our business!!! The guy is one of two are fighting for a championship. Is it really to much to ask for him to show up to a press conference the day before the race? After his team manager calls a young racer out because he wasn't happy with his podium speech, he thinks it's ok to skip the press conference? One of the examples of why this sport will not be mainstream. One guy in the points shows up for press day, the other had something more important to do? I don't have a pony in this race, but really a classless move on JBS's part.
James talks about how he's made changes to let the mx fans in on whats going on with him and then doesn't show for the press conference? The Twitter, Myspace, and Facebook isn't going to reach the masses like a press conference would. Somebody should fine him. Feld or the AMA need to step up and make these guys show for the press. This sport needs all the positive press it can get, number one rider not showing is a big let down.

"None of our business"... but we want you to do business with our sponsors.

IMO, this demonstrates a lack of professionalism at L&M and JSE that serves to reinforce the stereotype this sport isn't ready for primetime.

Why even have a press conference. It's the same old same old. It's pretty easy to figure out why James didn't go though.

Maybe he was afraid Chad was sooo mad he was gonna smack him upside the head or squeeze his neck for a second time .





Maybe he knew he wouldn't be able to stop himself from thanking his girlfriend & family for all their support during the series and knew Brooks would spit his dummy if he did so.









Maybe Brooks started whining and time got away from them all and they forgot.


Maybe he was so busy with twitter updating what he just did that he just forgot what he was supposed to be doing now.

Has anyone thought about the fact that James just didn't want to be asked a gazillion questions about last weekend? He is focused on Sat Night. He knew the press conference was going to be about last week. I would not have gone either. I gaurantee Chad would not have been talking so much shit HAD James been there.
James will do his press conference on the track when he wins Sat night and takes the Championship!!
