Boot Camp, JS7 Style; Part I
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!
you are the man your my #1 rider ever

Merry christmas and a Happy New Year from your number 1 fan in the UK. Shame i can’t enter the competition. Keep up the updates and good videos. It’s good to show the fans and others the hard work that goes into being a champ!! You’re an inspiration to all and mostly so black people as we now take a big interest in this sport. Good luck for the new season and remember, ” THE TOP SPOT IS THE ONLY SPOT “!!
I just learned about you from my little cousin from San Antonio, TX over the holidays. He just got his first dirt bike for Christmas. I didn’t know there were African Americans in the motocross sport. He wants to be just like you. I will definitely be watching for you…good luck and keep up the good work. We will be trying to catch on of your live events if possible. You are making a lot of people very proud! Have a happy and properous New Year! Much love from Little Rock, AR.
I don’t a whole lot about you. I just know you are good. I came across the motorcross preview and kept on watching. Keep it up I’ll try to follow you this up coming year.
Happy Holidays James! I am super excited for the upcoming supercross season. Do what you do best (winning) and another championship is well on its way. Good luck This season. Best Wishes
