    Yep. James is definately back. Doing stuff nobody else can do is what makes him the "Fastest Man On The Planet".

    i hope Villipoto kicks his ass

    felt bad for Dungey, i'm a fan but he really looks like he's fading. shit, the coverage made it look like he's already gone.

    Re: Triple ? Thats amateur !

    I like Villipoto as well. He seems like a nice guy, but I do not see him kicking Stewarts ass. Those two are definately a step above the others, though. I agree that RD had a very bad night, and I felt bad for him as well. I have been watching Alessi struggle, and now that Ken Roczen is scheduled to race in the 450 class next week, Alessi had really better step it up if he wants to keep his spot on the KTM team. I am surprised that Reed is doing as well as he is. Out of all of the riders, he is the only one who seems a bit cocky to me.
    Great racing so far this season.

    those rhythm sections really separated the men from the boys. blows my mind how well they can negotiate that stuff... and they were looooooong sections.

    I don't know why anyone wouldn't like James.

    Have you ever seen his TV show, Bubbas World?

    He is a real cool dude. Doesn't brag, doesn't party, he isn't a dick. Hell he even thought about stopping racing because he's never had a non-racing life.

    James is cool as hell and I always root for him.

    Re: Triple ? Thats amateur !

    I agree that James is pretty cool. He's just the overdog, and people will love to hate him. SX is relatively slow, so that "fastest man on the planet on a motorcycle" stuff really bugs me. How about "fastest man in SX"???

    yeah, we watch Bubba's World here. it bugs my wife that i'm not a Stewart fan strictly a race thing though cause he does seem to be a good guy. the episodes with Potter were pretty funny.

    i think it goes back to my severe lack of Ya'ma'ha love

    FuelTV. they actually have a good handful of decent moto stuff.

    EDIT: most of this stuff you can watch on Hulu too. some favs: Moto-Inside the Outdoors, The Great Ride Open, Bubba's World, Firsthand (moto episodes), etc.

    Hansen is way older than most of his competitors but hey, if he isn't breaking any rules then I won't bust on him...he is def. riding great and a fun rider to watch.

    Roczen is riding a 350 in the big boy class at the east coast round coming up, can't wait to see that as well!

    Saw the footage of him at the des Nations. That kid is FAST. I'd love to see him come over here and race the 250s outdoors. Roczen vs Barcia would be some fun battles to watch.

    OK, I got caught up watching the races. Things are settling in as expected. Actually, Reed is surprising me a little on his self managed team. He seems to have matured a bit as a result.
