Baggett, are you listening? Whoever told you to 'hold back until the halfway point'? Fire that guy. You need to come out swinging, put a big gap in and manage all those folks behind you. It already cost you several moto wins. You could be one of the 'greats' but you are throwing it away.
Barcia, quite the minibike class and join the big boys. You will be much more appreciated there.
TV, do we really need to see Nico Izzi every few seconds? He's running around in the black hole positions (4th through 10th). Nobody cares. Better time could be spent on Mike Alesi, coming from the back and into the top ten. At least watching Mike you are guaranteed some great passes or a good crash!
27 Women - All 250F/no 2T's
55 250F
82 450F (Including 1 350F)
And just so I don't start a new thread...In the GP's this weekend they had 33 MX3, 33 MX2 and 38 MX1.

Thats a pissy excuse for James dropping it! Does he need to just ride around on the track by himself so he doesnt get distracted, for someone of his caliber it should not have bothered him at all
I agree with that, on the other hand if it were me going that fast into footpeg deep ruts I would crash anyway
Whoever that jackass was I hope he got fired. There shouldnt be people running across the track anyway.
Exactly.

Half the times he gets a great start and goes really well: endo and face plant. Sometimes its even more amusing with a sidetosidetoside SPLAT in the whoops.
JS7:"People think that it was easy to be the fastest rider in the world it was I worked my ass off to get here"
To give him credit he did come from nothing and has made a pretty awesome impact. Fastest rider.... Yeah Ikr... Carmichael and mcgrath have only set laps that were 3 seconds faster then your fastest....
He better never try to ride in the woods then. All those trees might distract him and make him crash. What a cop out. HE ate shit. It was his own fault. Accept the responsibility for yourself for once. Quit blaming other people for your failures. Typical...
LOL who did he blame? His mechanic? "Uhh yeah my suspension wasn't set up properly" or maybe the good ole "My brakes were dragging cos of the dirt"
Hahahaha hes good for giving me laughs thats for sure.
Okay now that I'm done taking the piss out of Lames stewert, I didn't actually get to watch thundervalley but based on the little bit of SX i've seen, Dungey has really come out swinging with the orange fooper. I'm pretty disappointed that no smokers made an appearance though
Ok, setting myself up here but to clear a jump face to see some bozo scooting across in front of you (in deep rutted loam) --- well, I cut JS7 some serious slack. The track pedestrian should not be allowed in the gate ever again.
I do agree there

Now, I know that very well could have happened to me. I tend to dwell on unimportant things too much, loose concentration and make mistakes - but I am not the "Fastest Man On The Planet (FMOTP? - new acronym instead of JS7?). I don't make my living riding motorcycles so when I fall down, people just ignore me. For that kind of dosh, you shouldn't make silly mistakes and YOU DAMN WELL BETTER NOT GET HURT. Finally, if you do get hurt, SUCK IT UP. Finish the moto, even in 20th. Ice, ducktape...whatever and get yer ass back on the bike!
Dude, he'd never make it off-road! (enduro, desert, XC).
Post by: Stusmoke on June 04, 2012, 10:53:59 AM
Did James actually blame anything? Or are you people just jumping to conclusions and making things up as usual?
I dunno, did he? I was just going off other peoples statements. Maybe you should be absolutely certain people aren't making things up before you start hurling accusations.
I agree with Lolerbabop. He mentioned the photgrapher but I think people just have too much fun picking on James.

I agree. I often stack it but I'll get back up and keep riding unless I'm possibly concussed or another form of injury that may just endanger me further. I did a chad reed style endo when my throttle got stuck luckily my injuries weren't anywhere near as bad though.

I wasnt accusing anyone of anything, i was asking a question. And maybe YOU should be absolutely certain before you start accusing James Stewart of things.Did James actually blame anything? Or are you people just jumping to conclusions and making things up as usual?

Post by: Stusmoke on June 04, 2012, 11:36:00 AM
Following a question with the words as usual was infact accusing the original owner of the statement that he was blaming people. Its not uncommon for a rider who has screwed up big time to start throwing blame. Between the adrenaline from the race and being you know... Human? I wouldn't put it past any racer, let alone Lames Stewart.
Post by: VintageBlueSmoke on June 04, 2012, 12:35:32 PM
OK, let's stop it here. James in his interview mentioned the photographer but he didn't come out and slam the guy or anything like that. Just from memory, it went something like "I saw the guy crossing the track and I got caught out in the turn..." or something like that. Not "Oh! That f'n cameraman jumped right in front of me and ruined my career!"
Of course, he could have said that in the truck, just not to the reporters pushing and shoving to get the inerview!
And Stu, Stew is FMOTP. Besides telling everyone through the medium of MTV, he actually goes out there and can lead everyone on any track. His exploits on a 2-stroke are legendary. Sure he falls (a lot), but he is pushing harder than anyone too. As much as he has hit the ground, I am surprised he is not broken even more. To me, it is sad that he is going to go out with injuries and just be a "flash in the pan" rather than a "shining star" of motocross history.

Lolz, I am certain. Hes arrogant, ignorant, weak and rarely holds down positions before crashing out but still has the audacity to call himself the fastest man on the planet.
He set the fastest lap every practice and won the first 4 motos of the year with ease. He was leading when he crashed.
Im not a fan (22 all the way) but you've got to respect the guy. When James is on, he's a winner.

Fastest man on the planet he is not. First off, that has absolutely no merit simply because until he has raced and beaten every man on the planet, that statement is null and void.
Second of all, if hes so blindingly fast and dominates the practice sessions and motos and heats then why exactly hasn't he won a title like the GOAT or the King? Bubba and FMOTP don't count because they either aren't true or are part of his legal name.
I'm not calling myself better, I'm not saying hes a bad rider, quite contrary hes very talented, but is by no stretch of the imagination the fastest man on the planet. He can't lead everyone on the track, atleast not without crashing out. Not since Dungey and Villipoto came on the scene. And couldn't hold a candle to Ricky Carmichael

OK, so my quote was wrong but the paraphase was the same. Thanks for your support. I hope JS7 makes it to Mt Morris.
I didn't post that to prove you wrong, but to support your discussion. I am not a JS7 fan but he gets a lot of abuse lately LOL.
I am going to miss High Point due to my nephew's graduation party. I am bummed.

Wow. Did James take your girlfriend or something? lol
He has won a title. In fact he went 24-0. How many people on the planet have done that?

JS is an extremely talented man on a dirt bike, i think if James had made some different decisions in his career (not gone to Yamaha) we would have seen a lot more from him, i hope he isnt injured and can come back and battle for this title, i think if he does he will take it, Dungey wont put up too much of a fight.......I used to have a hate for certain riders too when i was Stu's age but i have mellowed out some, gotta have respect for any dude that can line up on the start gate of a national, something i wish i could have done....

I'm not disputing hes an extremely good rider. Like Scotty Dog and TMKIWI both said, you don't line up at hte gates of a professional motocross or supercross event without some serious talent.
I'm disputing him being the fastest man on the planet.
lol you think im mad? wowAre you?
I'm about as far away from mad as one can possibly get without ingesting/inhaling hallucinogenic drugs. It's healthy to disagree, why on earth would I be mad just cos someone didn't share my opinion?

Man I feel sorry for James. I don't like the guy at all but I would be absolutely FURIOUS at that guy. He had a good lead too. I spose beating the living arse out of that jerk was the last thing on his mind. Pain first, getting back on second, I can't speak for the rest lol. He looked pretty dazed, then again who wouldn't be. I'd be taking that guy to court. Need a good lawyer, not sure how the law works in the states but here you'd have a good caseYeah that dude needs a kick in the arse, im pretty sure in the rules here, if some one crosses the track during a race except in an emergency ya get tossed out!! I still think James would have eaten shit either way but...
