stewarts bike is too tall
Not a Stewart hater at all in fact he is my favorite rider but, it looks as tho his heart is not in it anymore. I mean at times he shows flashes of greatness but, this is the second time he has wrecked and taken his time getting back on the bike. Not sure whats going on?!?! It's time to get it going Bubba!!
I sure hope TC and RM recover quickly. Crap, To many riders getting hurt.
Nice TAKE OUT there Stewart..... Got a little Desperate when Chad Reed passed and left you in the dust..............Its starting to remind me of last season...............
Get well soon Trey and Ryan and anyone else who's hurt. Trey, the faith and attitude you have shown us throughout your career have been amazing and inspirational. Keep it up whatever you do. Hopefully we get to watch you race again soon! If not we NEED to keep hearing or reading your words!
As for James Stewart, he looks unprepared and undertrained. He looks weak lifting his bike up after a crash. I know nothing of his off the bike training, but its like he didnt respect the competition coming in and thought that just seat time would make him the best again. JS you changed the style, RC changed the prep. now accept it and get in the gym.
Sorry for this ballsports comparison. not that JS is as great as Michael Jordan but remember Jordan's amazing leaping/hangtime? then he retired for baseball then came back to basketball and he still had the Jordan clutch shooting but his legs were never the same. I know he was older but from not using his "basketball" legs for a year or 2, he was not the same. Could this be a little of JS problem? Can he get his "dirtbike" legs back? I'm thinking if this is him now he is really going to be struggling outdoors. if not in the opening round 2nd moto, then by mid summer for sure!
Yea that BS pass on Jake was some legit stuff let me tell ya..... "Fastest Career to go down the tubes on the planet" is more like it.
Fix the tuff block covers so they stop coming off !!!!!!
In the first post RD is still listed as Suz, it's KTM now
MX94 I think you are right a little on JS but the more I watch the more I think it is mental also, He is not free, still has speed ,tallant, but is trying to be careful and is wondering himself why he can't keep it off the ground, and worse yet I think he has rang his bell too many times. GO RV !!!
i was at the Stadium and didnt get to see the slow mo feed on cbs on Stewarts pass but it didn't appear to be intentional however my opinion is Weimer caused that on his own when he started slowing down into the corners and trying to prevent Reed from turning under him. It was great to watch but but i think Stewart saw that and said to himself he isnt going to let the newcomer mess around with him and make him loose time, but still dont think he did anything intentional.
Take out move....or BS move...thats funny.....You see that same pass being made all night long, but as soon as James does it, its a take out move, what a joke!!....Weimer left the door open and went too high....Funny, even Emig said it was clean, so I guess you know more than him..... I saw Reed dive under James wheel exiting the whoops and had James not checked up he would have been "taken out"....but that would have been ok I guess.......those darn double standards again.....hahhaaa
I don't think Heart is an issue, He almost snaped his neck in practic so I would bet he was a littlle sore. Damn restart screwed RV same thing happen at a Nat last year, RV holeshot and TC went down and RED flag. Did anyone see what happen to TC the clip they showed on TV was to short to see what really happen. Also WTF are they showing a close up of Grant pulling out of the race (we have seen that way to many times already) wile there is passing going on!! There showing grant and I can hear the crowed going nuts I am like what just happen?? Come on its not like it was live they had a day to get it ready to air!!
You nailed it Killomoto, all are not judged the same that is for sure!!
I didn't think Stewarts pass on Weimer was intentional either, but peoplke who don't like Stewart in general will use as as more reason to dislike him.
On another note I wondered why when Villopoto was closing he then picks up his pace...he might have been better served riding with that intensity from the start.
I feel something is off and I don't think it is the bike. It gets into and especially off the corners awesome...
How about Reed!? HOW ABOUT TOMAC!! That kid is fast...still waiting to see him and Wilson go at it.
Dest Wishes to TC and RM - scary crash...so happy they are okay (relatively speaking)
@BillC you are right there!!
I blew a gasket when you could hear the crowd screaming and they are showing an image of JG33.
CBS - show the races...not local scenary, not RD interviews (I respect the man) not anything but the races. It is only a one hour show..C'mon.
What was up with the tough blocks in the 450 Main? Short crashes with one and Canard gets the cover caught up in his bike, leading to the red flag crash. Did they ever show how Canard ended up with it in his back wheel?
Does anyone know what happened to Gavin Faith in the main event in lites? did he crash or anything? he got 18th and he is way to quick for that?
Another positive note for James, he almost holeshot his heat and both the first start of the main and the re-start...so looks like he did some work during the week...a top 2 start and he is on the podium....Looked like James clipped a tough block and that triple and he went high up in the berm and tipped over....that sucked....better than last week...Good run for Reed too....
JS& pass on JW was hardly an intentional take out..he made the turn..reed has completely torpedoed JS before without even starting to turn his wheel and the same doosh bags dont say shit about it...get over it!!!
Go Bubba, you'll get your mojo back, he held of RV for 5 laps... thats a good test
Bummer on TC..that kid just cant catch a break...whish him the best
Tedesco cut under JG in the air causing a crash. Looks like IT broke his finger. Stewart was sliding all over the place. If you have the race recorded check out him and Milsaps. Hate to say it but those Pirelli tires are not looking so great.
To me it looks like Stewart is riding around on ice and he is fighting to keep his bike up vs fighting to move forward.
I said in another thread that Weimer checked up in the corner when he saw JS coming in hard, and threw his balance off. HIs outside foot was already off the peg before JS made any contact, if there was any contact at all. I also watched the JS7 GoPro footage on TWMX and it is debatable if there was much contact made. I think if Weimer had ridden the corner aggressively he would not have gone down. And if it was any other rider making that pass they would not be judged the same.
@PW29 - I was thinking the same thing about JS and Milsaps. It was a tough track for traction but those JGR Yamahas really seemed to be having a hard time.
I would love to see Tomac and Wilson cross the holeshot line side by side in Oakland. I think ET is a little faster right now but DW is right there.
I notice alot of the same guys week in and week out always defend Stewie no matter what he does. Breaking the law and everything, so it is no surprise that they take up for him here also. To me the pass was a little bad, just because Stewie did NOT have to take him all the way to the tuffblocks. He coulkd have easily went past him without running him so high. Easily, that is why I say it was a little dirty, He ran him all the way high like that on purpose, Stewie gets a little desperate when he is getting past or not up front, and usually results in a crash for him or someone else. It has happened his whole career.. Was it a blantant take-out, not sure, only Stewie can answer that. But when it happened, Even the guys in the booth yelled "Stewart takes out Weimer!!!"..
And is it just me, or was the Stadium in LA have a ton of empty seats?? It looked like thousands of seats were empty on TV. I think the So-Cal stuff is played out, no more 3 supercrosses for them, they cant even sell-out 2 of them.
Alrite, lites are on speed, some real sx coverage now, unlike CBS crapy coverage, fro and ralf are lookin spiffy.
@BD200
Thats because 23% of californians are unemployed...
Not being mean check the stats...
"official government statistics" do not include underemployed or those who have been unemployed for a period of over one year...
Please no offense anyone but numders don't lie.
It is hilarious to me that all of the stewie fans are defending his move on Weimer. I bet anything that these are the same people who said when Reed did the exact same move on Stewart last year, he was the dirtiest rider on the planet. Oh my, how people twist their opinions when the media darling is on the giving end of it! It is a racing move, but I love how people's views vary when their favorite rider is involved.
Like this takeout move ???

@bd200 I agree with you, Stewart took Weimer so high up on that corner Weimer had no where else to go. I have seen many passes like that, is it right? or wrong?
I.M.O. that pass is okay when going for a win or a last spot in a heat race or lcq. but not for a 3rd place spot.
