This was obvious after he walked off two weeks ago. Plus Ping said he was riding a Suzuki last week

Transworld has a picture of it in their Monday Kickstart about halfway down the page http://motocross.tra...eans-sx-2012/3/

Also says he might be running a Suzuki for outdoors?

He will switch brands and then before the season starts he will say they just did not have enough time to get the suspension set up and so he will have to sit it out and wait for next year sx.

Well it only took four posts for a hater to show up.

hopefully this will get everything going in the right direction for him.

I hope he gets everything in order. I'm not a fan but the season wouldve been a lot better with a JS @ 100 percent. Hopefully this motocross season will be better than SX. With less injuries too

One rumor has him starting his own team, like CR22 did. Another question... "amicable" separation or a breach-of-contract lawsuit?

For some reason I just don not see him starting his own team.

You guys crack me up.  Let your opinion be know and your a "Hater".Not everyone walks on eggshells when talking about their not so favorite rider.

Davi Millsaps will be on the PulpMx show tonight. He might have some interesting insight. This should make the silly season that much better with a spot open at JGR. Free agent RV will have even more leverage in his negotiations.

I am just tired of every thread that has James name in it turning in to a bash james thread. I would rather hear about what is really going on. Not some trolls opinion on james just because they don't like him.

I think he has lacked focus in the past, but I would really like to see him suceed for some good racing.

He will not show up for the outdoors. Call me a hater or whatever but he won't be back until next years SX if that!

So if I turn out to be right and he doesn't show up for the outdoors will you then say I wasn't hating? And just to be fair if I turn out to be wrong I'll let you call me a hater all you like, maybe I'll even put up a JS7 avatar...

If I turn out to be right what would you be willing to do?

I think he has to show up. He has a lot of haters now. How many more will he have if he is considered a quitter?

If he shows up and does his best people will accept that he did what he felt he needed to do. I already have more respect for him for the fact that he left a team that was paying him big money to ride their bike. Maybe he is starting to realize that money ain't everything

If he shows up and races all season long or until a real injury occurs I'll have more respect for him also.... And I'm a hater!

Yeah, sitting out the rest of the year would defintely shrink his fan base and increase his haters.

I also think it would hurt his chances for next year sx championship, the competition will continue to improve while he gets more and more distracted.

Probably make more excuses lol. I'm amazed at how his fans think that he can be released from an established team this close to the MX series and magically pull a ready to go ride out of his ass, get enough practice and testing in to be dialed and then show up and out run the top 5 outdoor badboys when it was obvious he was gassed after a full moto of SX?? Ain't gonna happen because he knows if he rolls out to the gate and gets his ass spanked (which will happen) and he gives up or doesn't put in a full moto or season then he will not find a big money ride for 2013 SX. Mark my words lol, he wll not be back this year at all!
