You couldn’t script a better return to Lucas Oil Pro Motocross for James Stewart, who debuted his new Yoshimura Suzuki with a 1-1 overall win at the FMF Hangtown Classic. He was back up to speed so quickly that it almost looked like he’d been riding the new bike for several years—and had never left the motocross series to begin with. Afterwards, he talked about it in the post-race press conference.
Racer X: Obviously you feel comfortable on the bike, whatever tweaks you were able to cram in during the short time you have are working for you.
James Stewart: We really did try to cram in a lot of stuff pretty quickly, and it was good. We were just trying to get here and figure out where we were. It was a pretty good gauge, I see where we can improve with myself. It went a lot better than I thought it would, I thought we would come here and struggle a little bit for us, which I did, personally. But I felt pretty good overall and hopefully it can continue. I have to give it up to these guys at Suzuki, I think we only had to make two clicker changes all day, so what we were doing in testing worked. From here we will just continue to build.
Stewart went 1-1 in his return to the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship.

Earlier in the day, you said you were just trying to get through the day. What was your goal? Just get top five or top three?
Really, my goal was just to have fun. That’s why I’m here. I didn’t come here to go 1-1, I didn’t come here to be the fastest, I came here to learn the motorcycle. Because it is tough to make changes in the middle of the year. This is a new bike for me, new mechanic, new team manager, and this is the roughest track I’ve raced on for a long time. Every lap, I was really figuring out what the bike was doing. And to my surprise, I was really stoked to see that every lap I was just feeling better and better and better, and it translated into a win today.
"Trust me, before I even showed up, the 24-0 talk is not something I’m looking forward to. That is not going to happen." - James Stewart
In 2008 you won all 24 motos. Did that season start like this, were you just trying to see where you were? Were you super confident, then?
Honestly, I feel like I’m better prepared this year than I was in 2008, just because, in 2008, I was off the motorcycle, I was actually hurt [torn ACL] for four months. But the difference was, at least then, when I got back on, I was on a bike that was familiar to me. Where as here, this bike is unfamiliar to me. Even though I did have a little time on it last summer, it wasn’t on the factory motorcycle. The results are the results, but I look at it like, this is a good start, but we still have a long way to go. To start out the way we did is good, but we can improve a lot. Trust me, before I even showed up, the 24-0 talk is not something I’m looking forward to. That is not going to happen. I just want to be there week in and week out. My whole goal here is to learn for 2013, and it was just good to get a win.
Second moto was close between you and Dungey. Were you pacing yourself, or where you like, “This guy will not go away!”
I know how Ryan rides. He’s was very strong here last year, and he’s a very good outdoor rider. I was comfortable where I was, and I’m sure he was, also. It was more just hitting your marks, and picking it up where you needed to. In the middle of the moto there, I kind of tested it out and got a few good laps in. I knew if he raised the bar I could raise the bar, too. We got caught up in some lappers, I got into them and I was able to get through them, then he got into them, too. From there it was just a matter of putting in good laps. He rode good, though. And so did Mike [Alessi] and Davi [Millsaps] and my teammate [Brett Metcalfe]. This race is kind of like Anaheim, you don’t see the best of people at Anaheim. So, to win, this is definitely unexpected, but it’s nice.
Seemed like the fans were pumped. They were cheering for you as soon as you rolled out in practice.
Yeah, number one, the fans were awesome. Even for practice, I could hear them around the race track. It was kind of like 2008, where it had that “Welcome back” feel. This track is nice, but honestly, it’s not a James Stewart kind of track. This is probably my worst track of the year. This track is really kind of tough, it’s got that California base where it’s hard packed, but it got really rough. I mean, the Dirt Diggers, they did a good job. Compared to when I was last here in ’08, the dirt is a lot more loamy, and a lot more rough. It’s definitely not my favorite track on the circuit, but they way they prepared it, the support I had from the fans, and the way everything was laid out, was good.
"The year I raced there, it was the hottest I had ever felt in my life!" - James Stewart on his return to Freestone.

Can you talk about relationship Ryan Dungey? Would you call it a rivalry, or a friendly rivalry, or what?
I think it’s a racing rivalry. We definitely want to beat each other, but there’s a lot of respect there. I feel like we race each other clean, sometimes we get close, but there’s no me and Chad Reed rivalry there! We definitely respect each other, and may the best man win. We actually rode together in 2008, and then he moved to the 450s, so obviously I felt like maybe we shouldn’t ride together anymore, for both of us. But there’s no animostity from my side and I’m hoping there isn’t from him. It’s one of those things where, I hear the media say “The Big Two,” but there’s a guy over there that got third place [Alessi] and he’s going to be really tough. And Davi Millsaps got second in the first moto, so there’s a lot of guys out there that are going to make our job tough. But I’m looking forward to the challenge.
We’re on our way to Freestone, what are your thoughts?
Freestone is good. The year I raced there, it was the hottest I had ever felt in my life! I haven’t checked the weather, and I’m not going to. But we’ll be ready for that, too. Obviously I had my amateur national there, so I was there a few months ago. I like the sand whoops they have there. I’m just looking forward to going racing. We had a barbeque last night with my family and friends. I’ve been away from it for awhile, and I don’t realize how much I miss it until I’m gone. The atmosphere is so chill, we’re all having a good time. I think we’re all looking forward to it. So, Texas here we come.

I wonder how long this thread will be ??? Great race JS..
James is looking really good... SO stoked for this outdoor season. Dungey will be tough in freestone. I am impressed with James attitude this summer it is making me a real fan now. Really good for our sport.
" I thought we would come here and struggle a little bit for us, which I did, personally"
Weege, follow up? What did he mean? What did he struggle with? That interview after moto 1 he wasn't even sweating.
Man, I am not a fan, but he has to have the chillest attitude of any rider there. Good luck, James! But I am still rooting for Dungey!
94 degrees for Saturday.
Im not JS7 fan, and yes, it does hurt! Nah..the older you get, the less these things seem to matter. Im glad for James if he is not crashing, no one likes to see impacts as bad as his crashes. I only hope he respects other riders on the track from a safety point of view. Did any of you see that pass on Alessi in Moto2? That scub coming out of the corner where he essentially jumped between Alessi and Dungey, appeared to land almost alongside Alessi? I watched that one over like.....5 or 6 times. The only other person that makes me do that is Roger Federer. I was gonna say Pourcel and JMB, but they are more amazing to watch over an entire race. Watching how their lines develop etc...
94 degrees in TX is a cold front...
Class interview. Always respect a guy that gives props to the competition. Looks like he is going a long way toward showing he really is a good guy. Looking forward to a great series between he and Dungey, especially since they are clean toward each other when racing.
Not gonna happen? Another false promise from the bubbaman. Although maybe he's figured out a way to make it 25-0 .. maybe that's what he meant
@Langston_Fan, yes I did see that. Very cool. Dungey needs to be a little more like that I think. Force the issue a little bit more. James saw a little opportunity and made it happen. He didn't wait for a "red carpet invite". I really wish RD would do a little more of that.
At the risk of being called a hater, I am confused by one of his comments. He stated that he was coming off of an injury in 2008, so he wasn't quite as prepared. Wasn't he out the last coup[le of races for an "injury" This year? didn't he hurt his hand and that prevented him from fullfilling his contract for JGR? Just curious. He rode awesome at Hangtown, can't deny that.
Congrat's JS
This is only one National. 11 more to go, JS looked great in Oakland and Daytona. Where was JS the rest of the time.
Great weekend, dislike watching on two different channels
I didn't think James would dominate. It appears he didn't either! It was impressive how he got great starts and manged the race wisely. Fun to watch his form.
Dungey gave him a run for most of the 2nd moto in first outdoor race on a KTM. Not bad. It's likely Ryan will find more speed as the season progresses.
I hope a couple others can step it up - Short, Milsaps, Alessi
What happened to Brayton at Hangotown?
Funny how history repeats itself...At 26 or so, RC went to Suzuki, a time in his career when he saw the big picture, gone were the fits and arrogance of youth, he had matured as a rider and a person...Then came Reed, kind of the same deal, at 26 or so, to Suzuki he goes, he had matured, gone was the percieved whining or excuses...Now here is James, 26 or so and on Suzuki. He sounds more mature and less full of himself. At some point they all realize that moto will go on with out them, and they are a part of something bigger than themselves. Suzuki is definitely the winner in all of this. It just goes to show two things: even the smallest company can still do big things with the right people and that it takes time and mistakes to mature into the person we will be .....
there was no RV put a nice * on his title
There was no JS when RV won either. Put an * next to that one also...
Bubba is fast, and I hope he has a great year. But that bike is the difference. He is riding what Dunge should have held onto. Bubba looked so fluid saturday and that is not always his style and that bike just handle those bumps without punishing him or kicking out. That ktm did not look that settled to me, something is not right with it yet. Props to James, great ride and humble, and good move.
Only Jason can pull off an interview like this. Good job.
Damn, the Hurricane wasn't there either, so for sure an '*' on this title.....Whatever, excuse makers. There are no asterics in racing. Either you are good enough to line up and compete/win or you are not. Bob Hannah, Villipoto, Carmichael, Reed are, for various reasons, not good enough to compete for the Championship this year. Just like Stewart wasn't last year. Apparently he is this year.
@arm01
Do you have a source for this? I couldnt find McGrath's win #s on outdoors
@MWBlows - Really? So RV needs a * next to all his 450 titles. CR and RD miss a good portion of SX this year, RD had his bike problems last MX or would have won the title by 15+ points. CR had everyone covered before his crash. If we look at everyone's title besides the GOAT or MC's titles, there's always the woulda, coulda, shoulda factors.
Wow James really surprised me. No excuse for Dungey. James just flat beat him in that 2nd moto. He had his chances early in the race. The 2nd moto Lappers were tough but everyone had to deal with them. It might be the (get thru the first race jitters) but I think Dungey will pick it up. I think Dungey was as surprised as I was. Great 250 season also if the pack can keep Bagget in sight.
@handlebores klan brothers won't allow him to comment and scrubnuts is secretly happy his closet man love won.... two clicks ...seems like ole paint is ready to rumble.....RD5 might.need to adjust the WP forks ...turn the knob from 'real harsh' to 'just harsh'.....i miss RV but its nice to be in the "may the best man win" crowd. @langston fan ...i've never even seen R Federer scrub......lol @arm01 you are on it today...careful things may quickly change.
@arm01
Why are you yelling behind your keyboard? Take the caps lock off. Also, you do realize that it is around mid afternoon on a Monday, people do work. They will be back. My question is, where can I see the picture of j_sloan licking his toilet seat?
Great ride by Stewart, Dungey and Alessi. Can't discredit the other 37 racers either. Can't wait until Freestone, hopefully the NBC coverage is on time this weekend...
Very cool interview......James has always been "chill" as mentioned above...A lot of folks will take what they want from his comments and turn it into bucnh of crap...Good to see James in a happy place and comfortable on the track again....
Just think, James might be the first criminal to win a championship. Then he will have a record all his own. Literally.
RV isnt racing this year. No competition was racing when Reed won, when Dungey won, no comp. in 08 for Stewart. Hell, no tough competition was racing when RC won most of his outdoor titles until 2005.
Who gives a sh*t, they got hurt. It happens. No need to discredit the riders that stayed healthy enough to go out and race. You can bench race all you want, the season has started.
I'll be looking for you in qualifying stewh8ter. With such a "depleted" field I'm sure you can go out there and run with the rest.
Saying all the right things...For sure.
@stewh8er - harsh name calling from someone with a 4th grade education, I bet your parents are proud of you.
@arm01 - Are you sure MC's number are right? He had 72 (250 wins), that would only mean he won 17 other times in MX and Lites?
After the 2nd moto there where 4 single gun shots heard in the distence
.REP, Scrub this
.REP, tomKtm
.REP, J-Slone
.RIP, B-KR
.I would have PAYED to see there faces during the race!! It would have been priceless!!!
Freestone next Saturday!
@BillC,, hahaha,, I agree.
@arm1.....
MC was a great SX rider but no way ....no how ,,,,,,,, was he better than to put Hannah and RJ.
Take out the SX wins and Mcgrath is 7th or 8th all time MX.

@JimboMX374,, I agree, but I could see it being hard for any factory team to give Alessi anything, thanks to his dad.
@T-MAN72 Eat a Dick Broham
@ BillC Stewart won and that was a surprise to me, but it's a long season and I think we will get a more accurate picture after a few more rounds. If Stewart keeps winning then it's all on him and he deserves it.
@J_Sloan,,, seriuosly, if that JS win was a surprise to you, then you must be new to MX.
T-man ...MX has had more than a few arrests over the years..and more than a few that have went unmentioned and a few that became champs.or won major events..get over that old news.....@steh8at..whatever .."moon cricket'(did you make that up after cartoons) 'jungle boy'.?...your late to the party ...there have been WAY more racist and hateful people on here than you..your just a rookie punk with nothing good to say...keep at it though and soon you'll be a full fledged racist ahole...you've got the right stuff. ....! @billc (i can't believe i'm saying this) nailed it. the 4 best shots heard round the world so far. This site actually seems fresher and cleaner...sorta...lol
Read my post ... I said take out the SX (SuperCircus) and he was 7th or 8th TGO
1 Ricky Carmichael 75
2 Bob Hannah 27
3 Rick Johnson 22
4 Kent Howerton 18
5 James Stewart 17
5 Jeff Emig 16
6 Jeremy Mcgrath 15
7 Ryan Dungey 14
Now what..........

My main beef with Bubba was him not racing outdoors. Im a Dungey fan but Im glad Bubba's back. The sport needs all the best guys on the track. We will definatley need him for the Des Nations as he goes good in the sand. Props to James, he could have easily stayed home this summer.
Ok everyone we have jjust done it again as the old saying geos"You are only as Good as Your Last Race" Well hear we are beatiing around the bush about Stewart again? It will be another long season. I also dont care about the what if's It is only one race and I will admit that I am iimpressed.
Great ride James! Dungey is gonna be there 'till the end. I'm surprised that he couldn't reel you in. I'm wondering how similar Jame's Suzuki is to Dungey's from last year??
@armo1..
Good Try ?
Game - Set - Match , no need to bow down
Your welcome for the MX education
Maybe one day you can wear the big boy pants too !

To be fair I'm not a massive fan, susspected that all this about his Yam been a pile of crap was just people defending him for being a lose cannon but after this racer I might have to swallow my own words. He did sound more mature in this interview that usual but that happens with most racers. I'm a Reed fan and he's toned it down and become more likable.
There must be a lot of people at JGR / Yammaha that are now thinking, bollocks our bike is really a piece of shit. Do you think Millisaps would be thinking about this? He is having the best season of his career in the 450's so far. Any thoughts?
@Rrrryan,, heres my thoughts.. I do not ride, but I have heard from a few poeple that ride, and ride well, that the Yam 450 is for taller/bigger riders.. IMO, it may not have been the bike ( I think some of it was), but the fact that he was not confident in it, will hurt his riding.
that suzkdog better start on the line and not run out gas! cuz james seems in tune with himself.too mellow bring back the spinkler dance thats when bubba was having fun!!!! LOL
J_Sloan I believe RD will win his share of Moto's as well. he is to good not to!! But Like RV I feel JS has him coverd speed and agresition wise and if he does not hurt ir have a DNF or 2 I see JS as the champ.
This is a historic day!!! JS is back outside, A lot of the crap talkers are gone and Tonewall gave me props!! ( Thanks, I know we have had our disagrements and your no fan of me but you put that aside when you see something you did like...Beer for you )
He rode better than I thought, but 1st let me say NOBODY wouldve touched Villopoto in speed or fitness outdoors whatsoever this year. But Ryan Dungey has the most determination and will grit this 1 out till the end where he holds up the #1 plate at the seasons end. Remember Reed did the same thing here last year and Dungey still beat him in the championship. Go RD5 ALL THE WAY!!!
Tonewall. Any updates from the 'New Sheriff' ? Does he still exist or is he just an ancient memory now ? Lol
Mc has 85 supercross wins..72 in the 250s
13 in 125 west
He also had 17 ama national wins
2 in 125s
15 in 250s
Now no matter how u add it up that's 102 Ama wins
That's more than Stewart..he's not getting credit he deserves
I am not a big JS fan but I have NO USE for racist PIGS. If you are racist on here get off you are worse than shit and EXTREMLY stupid. The racial slurs on here make me sick. This is a great sport and I really hope we can keep the racism out of it and the class in !!
@stewh8ter,, I was here when he was losing.. You must have a short-term memory, well, maybe not.. I guess you have to have a brain to have a momory..
Haters gonna hate
scrub, tomktm, j-slone, b-kr............... once you go black, you'll never go back! haha
@pugue of course stew8ball is scrubnuts...his M O is the same as the last 5 balless racist sh*t stirring cornholers before him. @ripdown just got a telegraph wire from the new sheriff...says hes in Virginia City takin some r&r and trying to gamble away some monster million hundies....says some bad hombre named Havoc7 V.2 done stole ole paint (the championship winning Suzuki RMZ 450,but you knew that) outta the shed and put a unforgiven style beatin on some boys up at Hangtown...says he'll be back soon as the new breed head out to Californee. Maybe Las Vegas if he runs out of hundies.His ole rodeo buddys the Drova and the Red Haired stranger will be there too. Said some furiner tried to ride his pony and got bucked off....
UneasyRider- Stewart was injured at Washougal 2007 when he wrecked his knee- then he came back too soon and tried to race 2008 supercross- then he pulled out a few races in- saying the knee wasn't good enough yet. He was off the bike a long time compared to this time. People were doubting him heading into 2008 outdoors.
Seriously people, do like the dentist says about your teeth...."ignore them and they'll go away"....well, he may not go away, but PLEASE try and refrain from responding to the poster who constantly changes his name but continues to send the same ignorant message. You validate his existence when you respond, don't give him the pleasure.....and RacerX, at the least, please remove any posts that are blatantly racist on here!! Everybody else, ignore "it"!!
Arm01- I can appreciate you enthusiasm- but the way you keep posting the same stuff over and over and over and over... makes you sound just as wack as ScrubThis- which is pretty hard to do! Tone it down about seventy notches -and your point will come across much better. LOL.
Hate to say it, but half the reason why people don't cheer for Stewart or Ryan Villopoto is because of their fans.
@ arm01, you have got to be the biggest shit stirrer to ever grace(dis) these message boards.
I mean what kind of a serious dick do you have to be, to sit around, literally all day posting, calling people out, making fun of Redheads, taking shots at Carmichael and Villopoto, both of whom are not racing need I remind you.
All because James Stewart won a race. We all saw him put in 2 great rides and do what he does. Somehow, for you that meant, start the moron parade and put you and your padded helmet at the front of the line!
It is going to be a long year on these boards for everyone, Stewart fans included, if he does what he looks like he will do and win a lot more.
God help us with Drum Major arm 01 doing chest pumps with his baton and banging away on the keyboard every week.
I tried to bite my tongue but your 30th post was like nails on a chalkboard!
Jimbo- hows come King Villopoto isn't on that list? Isn't he the best outdoors rider to ever live?? After all if he was here now he would have smoked them at Hangtown. Just sayin.
RacerX needs to implement real disucssion forums into their website so they can manage users better. Block the trouble-makers and racist idiots.
I wonder how long until the dungey fans start (publicly) blaming the bike, you have to wonder had dungey been on the rmz and stewart on the KTM saturday if the results may have been a little (or a lot) different , just something to think about especially the ones that thought the "it was the bike" argument was nonsense
@stewhatefilledidiot ...you're gettin closer and closer to sayin what you really wanna say aren't you. Can't come up with a decent take so you just fall back on your massive amount of ignoRANTS....our sport is over the civil war , try and catch up...everybody that lines up is equal (at least till the gate drops ) but I would bet you don't even ride ...just here to flap your lips...something to keep your mouth occupied till your klan brothers seek relief.... I seriously hope RacerX boots your a*s SOON. Arm01 easy lad...you're taking on scrubnut like features......
Dungey did just as good indoors as he did on the zook last year- and KTM's are better outdoors. Isn't KTM having great sucess overseas the last few years? Doesn't Dungey get any of that R & D knowlege into his american bike? I wonder how much better Stewarts bike is than Alessi is. If alessi keeps putting it on the box maybe Yoshimura will take him under there wing and give him a shot. This is Alessi first year on a non factory bike since turning pro- Ktm. Ktm. Ktm. Suzook. Suzook. Ktm350. Ktm350. Now privateer MotoConcepts Suzook. It's now or never Mikey Boy.
WTF I have not pasted anything today at all, I get home sit down with an ice cold beer and log on to racerx for a night of hatin and you STEWpid fans think I had something to do with it. F off.
Starting to sound like the Old Stewart, thank God. Maybe the last two seasons in supercross has humbled him a bit. He looks good on the bike too..
Let me say this to some of the New Stewtards out there throwing out win list and all of that. You CANNOT compare Stewie and Mcgrath and NEVER too RC.. Because those guys have won TITLES with thier wins. Not just winning a race here and there.. All those wins mean NOTHING without a title. Ask Kevin Windham how it feels.. Or ask the best basketball player ever.. Micheal Jordan, when asked how it felt to win 72 ganmes and only lose 10 on the season?? Jordan relied " All those wins means nothing without the title, 72 and 10 dont mean a thing without the ring"
So all of Stewarts wins does NOT put him in the same company as a guy with 8 Titles on the big bikes--Mcgrath; And not even close to the GOAT with 15 Titles.. There are 4 or 5 guys with more titles than Stewie..
Am not hating on the guy, just the childish Stewtards who were nowhere to be found when Stewie was flailing all over in supercross..
sorry posted
Darts are going to occur somewhere in the next eleven rounds. Not saying Stewart still wont possibly win the title Dungey may also. There are a couple dark horses but I doubt anyone else will win the title unless one of the top two darts the other.
Like most posts here you read it and try to understand what it means.
While it is early to predict a perfect season, Stewy has done it before. But counting out Dungey after one round does seem premature. Think about it. Dungey was trying so hard to become fast enough to beat Villo that he broke his neck.
It is true that Stewy did send a message in Round 1. But at the same time, it is somewhat difficult to accept that Dungey will settle for second and not do anything and everything he can in his sincere attempt to win the championship.
Nice to see JS7 on a bike he is happy with. Really thats all that matters to a rider at his level. The contracts and money stuff doesn't matter at the starting line. Just you and the bike.
Its gonna be a great season.
True that Stewart has not made the accomplishment of Carmicheal and McGrath- but they are gone now- and Stewart is still racing. What if he hangs around as long as Windham or LaRocco? If he is truly digging the zook- maybe he just will. 4 wheel fever didn't turn out so good for #4. Shoulda went to SuperMoto instead- that woulda been COOL.
@arm01
Dude, I am a Stewart fan, and it seems that you are, but you are really trying to stir the pot. You're acting worse than the haters. Its time to take the high road. Most of us want to log on and talk motocross, not listen to others bicker back and forth.
Tonewall......thats one of your better efforts to date haha Thanks for that!
I don't care about Arm01, WFO and all the other 'Haters' ....I miss the wee little Redhead!
So good to see outdoor again, sick of SX.
What a difference a bike that turns can make. Go yellow!
All bow to pugue. He knows everything.
@arm01 you know what we should call RV2 red headed ass kissers? Rytarded Villidiots! LMFAO!
@T-MAN72
pugue is a dumm ass just like arm01 .How can a man with the name arm01 type with 1 arm anyway. Alot of these dweebs on here have more than 1 handle or name . I will contact my friends the A-TEAM and eradicate these trolls by the end of the week. Mr-Mx we need your help also. We also would like to thank the RED BULL folks on there hospitality this past weekend at Hangtown.They made the weekend for us.Man it take the fun out of these things flying anymore that flying sucks.There is aways someone who will ruin it for everyone,wherever you go these days. If it looks like a terrorist,soundslike a terrorist,smell slike a terrorist,chances are it is. Be done with them!!!!!!!! Capeech !!!!!!!!!!!
It would be cool to watch RC and MC battle in the off road trucks.
@ DC- Man, this is getting out of control. Don't ya think? I love RacerX online and spend an hour or so here everyday. Many of the people that post here are very cool people and somehow I consider them friends.Even though we don't know each other. I do hope to meet a few of them this year at Millville. Ripdown-BD 25-maybe Newguy, that would be cool. However, as if you can't read yourself, some of the content in some of these posts is down right embarassing. I am all about anything Moto related but the opinions and comments here as of late can be a bit harsh to say the least. Some of these posts make me want to close the laptop and not come here again. It's not always the happy place I'm used to visiting. Even to the point of people wanting to meet up and fight? I'm pretty sure this isn't how you intended this to be. Good luck with saving my favorite website.(By a HUGE margin) Bucky
These Comments Are get Cut Throat Serious.......Can We All just Be Happy For ALL the Racers and not just 1
Also, Please Dont Mention me in Malicious Comments, No need for that
Bucky BUDDY don't let the Tools drive you away!!! Just stop reading there crap and maybe they will go away if they don't get any one to respond to there drival they will get board and leave.
@bucky we hear you loud and clear ...To many little boys with their (and i quote) "material"... using mutiple i'd's (mr mx ,scrubnuts/jair/stewh8 etc etc) to just swamp the site with sh*t and racial blasts , is my only complaint....I don't mind a battle but I don't feel the need to stalk or threaten anybody for real....I do think its a shame when the moto part takes a back seat to ignorance and school boys just messing with guys who actually ride and go to races ,maybe even love this sport are involved in it and have some knowledge of it. When it gets this far of topic it sucks. Since Racerx is like a good referee and lets us get away with murder we can only do what we do...sack up rookies...learn to bump. Myself i'm getting good at just skipping over 1/2 of whats on here (cause its all the same 3 'boys' stirring sh*t) just to get a response from someone cause mommys upstairs , howling and making pounding noises with 'uncle James'. Less boys more motorcycle racers....just wanna talk some moto with the fellas....not read some goofballs 30 comments revealing his mental problems or hatred of everyone.
Dear mxmofo1- It is a RIDICULOUSLY long thread.
It doesn't surprise me that Bubba doesn't like rough tracks. He just likes to have his talent win for him and doesn't like having to really dig and work for it. He lucked out at Hangtown with Dungey getting held up twice - that ain't gonna happen all year long. The Fraud will be exposed yet again in due time.....
WOW tomktm shows up!! And what a DUMB post. almost everyone has said how rough the track was...EVEN your boy RD.
. Lucky?? You are a TOOL!!! RD lead moto 2, JS passed HIM and WON... No luck there buddy, JUST that JS was BETTER.
.Its so FUN knowing how much you hated to see JS win.. I LOVE IT after all the crap you talked last week and Now you try and spin it again. Must suck to be you!!!

Why Cant You Guys Just Be Happy For Everyone People Like @arm01 Make Us Stewart Fans Look Really Bad, I Personally Respect All riders Even Reed (Js7's nemesis) but theres No Reason at all to try and Pull that MC bull crap....dont talk about MC like that, Dudes wife has cancer for God sake. Also Fellow Js7 fans, WE GOTTA CHILL with the "Fastest man on the Planet thing".....our boys gotta beat Poto on a good day before we can run that again.
I agree with Bucky--this is outta control and just ignorant and childish.. And 95% of it is Stewart fans. The REAL moto fans should be embarressed.. No wonder I VERY RARELY get onto this site anymore--Get to work DC or my favorite site wont be on my list of sites to visit either..
There are some very childish people out there, they should be embarressed for themselves..
@deadmau5.....so? Do you think that does anything but prove what an immature as*hole you are. Fuc8ing stalker.
Very nice to see that I am not alone on this one. Thanks, guys. And BillC, What was I typing? I doubt a day can go by w/o checkin' this site! Any thoughts on coming to Millville this year? Could fly into Minneapolis, rent a car, hour and a half and you would be here. You gotta know by now I would be more than willing to hook you up and help make your trip a pleasant one. Already gonna hook Ripdown up, even though I haven't heard from him in a while. No worries Ripdown, I got ya covered. Spring Creek is Minnesota's motocross heavin. BillC, here's your chance. Or maybe next year?
I might do it next year Bucky. If I can talk my Bro and one buddy into Rideing the bikes out I will do it!! We will have to do our shut down that week and just do it!!
I have a few Buds that live in MN that I meet on the Sled sites too!!
.Cours you will have to come out east some year ya know!!
i just have to say during the supercross season there were a lot of negative remarks and racial slurs and it was from more than one source, everyone always had something bad to say about JS hes washed up, dont deserve the suzuki ride, criminal after criminal after crimanal comment, i can remember one when RV jumped the triples on the yellow and the only reason james rolled is because they werent red, been a fan of james forever still rember the video were him, RC and TP were all sitting together being interviewed when they were still racing amature MX james could of used a little support during the SX season but all he got was crap now everyone has jumped back on, as for criminal acts, david bailey and rick johnson were with ron lechien when he was caught with a bag of weed, when he got back to the states honda fired him, give the whole james is a felon crap alone enough is enough, as far as the SX only mcgrath was the one that started that trend because he knew he wasnt the king when it came to outdoors. lets have some good racing, outdoors is were it all started outdoors is were MX will always be.
@BillC Next year works. That would be cool. And, if you check this site again, would love to check out sleddin' in your neck of the woods! We will work on these things. Way cool.
Or you must go to Dilla and what maybe Southwick?
Yes I do The Dilla and the Wick every year!! Let me know if you want to hit one. For sure some good sledding out here too. Or If you want to go to Canada sometime I could show you some REAL good ridding!!
Hell Yeah!! Been chompin at the bit and jealous as hell since I saw the Canada pics, eh? And the tracks out east are some places I never really thought about going to, but always wondered what it would be like. What at cool thing this internet is!! I could introduce you to Alex and Jeremy Martin, and you could do the same with Doug Henry. Sometimes it really is a small world. Chat with ya soon.
cool..sounds good
