Just like we promised a few days ago, here is another photo gallery of James prepping his bike and body to defend the Supercross title in 2010. Keep in mind that this is all just one typical day of James’s boot camp, so the haters out there need to take a look at what James really goes through to be number one. The Boot Camp video will be up soon; until then, enjoy the gallery!
Boot Camp. Most people know the reference when it’s applied to motocross training, but aren’t quite sure exactly what it is. “Man, everyone thinks they know what boot camp is all about,” says James as he shakes his head, with trainer Aldon Baker not-so-patiently looking on, anxiously awaiting another set out of the sweaty champ. “They have no idea.”
Well, lucky for us, we now have a slight inkling: James was gracious enough to invite us over to his private training grounds last week, during a typical day of pre-Supercross training in Haines City, Florida. And as the season is now just a couple of weeks away, it doesn’t get any more “crunch time” than this… Even with all of the pressure, though, James wanted to make sure that the most important part of his racing program (his adoring fans) were kept in the loop and up-to-speed on his progress towards the ultimate goal: Keeping the red number one on his bike in 2011!
So James invited us over to take a peek at Boot Camp, Aldon Baker-style. Like flies on the wall, we sat back and watched James absolutely demolish his Supercross track, then head straight to the gym for some serious weight training with Aldon. Since we got so many killer images/video content, we decided to break it all up a bit and give you the goods in doses. Click below for the first photo gallery, and keep clicking on JS7.com in the next couple of days for more pics, including top-secret shots from inside the Champ’s home gym, as well as a new video that will be posted shortly.
Enjoy!
Calling all fans that claim to have James’ back… Literally! How would you like to be a part of James’ 2010 racing program by custom designing one of the key components to his racing success? That’s right, James’ custom, one-off butt patches have inspired him to a ton of race wins over the years, and now’s your chance to be a part of his winning ways!
Using your own original artwork, design a brand-new butt patch that may just make its way onto a set of James’ racing gear at one of five stops during the 2010 Supercross series! If it does, not only will you earn huge bragging rights amongst your friends, those very pants, raced in by James, will be yours!
Art work will be collected throughout the course of the 2010 series, and five winning designs will be chosen to grace James’ rear section at one of five chosen Supercross rounds, starting with Anaheim 1 just a few weeks away! Along with faithful sponsors Red Bull and Answer Racing, James will choose a winner the week prior to each of the five chosen events, and the winning design will be developed into a real patch and sewn onto James’ racing pants.
