I know the outdoors have not even started, but I've already got my ticket. Who else is with me?

Not saying he can't do it but I'm not jumping on any bandwagons
What was his last outdoor race Unadilla?
I think I will just wait and see what he does and hope he makes it interesting when the whole gang gets healthy again.

It is unbelievable how well he was riding regardless of who else was on the track that year. I hope he returns to that kind of form and I'm bummed that I didn't see any nationals in 2008 in person. Like him or not, there is no way he has had that comfort level on a bike in the last couple years, hopefully a new bike changes that.

Also, it would be a nice surprise for him to switch from Answer as well. The Fox stuff was way better, but so is Thor, TLD, now Alias, and even the original Tucker Rocky/Malcom Smith line, MSR. The only way way he could look worse gear wise is if he showed up with some LBZ cotton whites with glitter flames and gold pants and an HJC helmet.

He will be back on top and win a sx and mx title before he retires... I like the kid, he is not my most fav but I have watched him grow up since he was 5 years old and I believe in him.

That's what I'm talking about right there...........it's not like he's forgotten how to ride like that.
Honestly......have you guys ever seen anyone ride like that?
You put that kind of ability what he's capable of doing on a SX track-outdoors?! Woohoo
Warp factor 2.

RV comes the closest.

He's got to prove it's still there, so we'll see after he makes it through the first four rounds.

Well, since it's time to renew my bet with vital poster nc97, (just won $20 on RV again!) and having limited choices (he chose RD), I might actually have to throw my money on the #7.

So, yeah, I'll be cheering for JS7 this summer. (Assuming he's there, of course.)

By "it's still there"....meaning, his desire to ride at that level-outdoors? I think it's still there
Question is, whether he's willing to discipline himself to train and do what it takes to grind out the hot, uncomfortable Nats.

I think I know where you're coming from though FTE....I respect your knowledge about the sport & what's going in it.
You're an oldschooler like me...Wink

Even if he does, the haters will want to argue the fact that the fast guys are hurt. You know how it is, it only works one way apperantely!

I'm not a JS7 fan and i won't be jumping on the bandwagon.But i hope he shows up for outdoors because when he's on he is amazing to watch on a bike.

JS7 outdoors is going to make for a much more entertaining season. I hope MA800 is on his game too. Two Suzuki's up front will be fun to watch.

You know what I say, FUCK the haters. We will tell if he has his mojo back and my prediction is yes...

I've never been off of the bandwagon. I'm about the only one within the circle of people I associate with that still believes in him. I bet on him every time he lines up.

That video was only four years ago, but watching that it feels like a lifetime ago, and it seems like a completely different person. Wow, I think for a second there I forgot how fast and confident JS was on the Kawi...

He'll take everyone out and himself with them. I don't think he can last the length of a moto, let alone 2 on the same day. Remember, he hasn't raced outdoors in a long time, and wasn't planning on it this year either, until now, because the top guys are out. He's looking for easy pickins. He's in no shape for this. I doubt he'll finish the season, if he starts it.

Don't get me wrong, I love to watch him when he's on and I think most of the flack he gets is misplaced. But I really don't know what to make of the results over the last couple years. As great as L&M and JGR are, I think he needs the level of support that comes with a full factory team. We'll see.

Have they announced that he won't be under the factory suzi rig? I was just assuming he would be...

I don't think anything is announced, but it seems like they probably got something together akin to what Suzuki couldn't get on the table in time last fall.

I've always been on the JS7 bandwagon. He's the most exciting guy to watch IMO. He's either going to win or go down trying and that's why I like watching him.

I have always stuck behind stewart and will never give up on the dude. I really hope he kills it this outdoor season.
