WRIST SURGERY FORCES JAMES TO THE SIDELINES
James underwent successful surgery Friday afternoon to repair a broken scaphoid bone in his right wrist. Following last weekend’s race in Anaheim, where, after contemplating not even competing due to severe pain in his wrist following a crash in Phoenix the previous weekend, James rode valiantly to an impressive third-place finish.
Although initial x-rays after Phoenix did not indicate a break, an MRI performed on Thursday revealed that the bone was indeed broken. Surgery was performed by famed orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Arthur Ting, in Fremont, California.
As a result of the surgery, James will unfortunately not be competing in San Francisco this weekend. His return to racing will depend on how quickly he is able to recover post-surgery. He will be evaluated on a weekly basis, which will determine when he returns to the 2010 Supercross series.
“James is a true champion,” said L&M Racing’s Team Manager, Larry Brooks. “The fact that he rode as competitively as he did while making the podium at Anaheim 2 with a broken wrist (unknowingly) is testimony to that. He’s anxious to heal and get back on the track as soon as possible.”
Stay tuned for more details from James in the coming days…
fap turbo scam…
Und ein Ende ist bisher nicht in Sicht, denn auch ihr drittes Album “Gute Reise” wird ganz sicher ein Kassenschlager….
james dont let them guys get u down. i myself have suffored a right broken wrist and knee in dirt bike acc. even if u dont come back u will still be the best and even though u wont thinks so u will always be a true winner and champ. hope u can recover soon though and put the hurt on those boys an come out winning the events u attend or top five in points at end of year considering u gonna loose out on at least two if not four events. hope u heal up right and not ride before u are healed and ruin the ur wrist for rest of ur life. good luck
got to agree with RODNEY..YEP MAN JS IS GETTING DISTRACTED AND NOT STAYING FOCUS MAN JUST WANT TO SAY IF YOU RACE LIKE YOU STARTED, MOTOCROSS WORLD WOULD BE AT AWWW.
At least it was his right hand, he really doesn’t seem to use the brakes anyhow…
what do u think of me making a rap about you, James?
Sorry to hear the news on the hand.
Maybe you & CR can kiss & make up while you are both blaming each other for being a pair of chumps. The time on the sideline might give you the attitude adjustment you need & remind you what racing is really about!
You are one of the greatest riders of all time but get sucked into all the other BS.
Get out there and ride & forget all the other crap. Get back to the JS that we all want to see not just the fasted rider on the track but a true champion of the sport. My JS jersey is packed away awaiting the day this happens.
Can’t wait to see you back out there riding the way we all know you can.
Get well soon!! Cant wait to see you back on the track. The Gutz family are BIG fans of yours. We LOVE u!!! God Bless you always.
It might be for a while bro. Its his throttle hand. I bet he will get armpump for a while. After he starts riding again.
Ye, but in all newspapers online etc people make it sound like it could take 2 weeks or so.. I broke my wrist awell but in a different way and it took me months to recover..
! WE WANT AN UPPDATE ABOUT THE INJOURY, HOW LONG IS THE HEALING PROCESS?
WHAT COULD YOU DO A SUZUKI?……….. I THINK THE BIKE FITS YOU BUBBA, PLUS ON A SUPERCROSS TRACK SUZUKI CAN OUT TURN ANY BIKE. BUT YOU WOULD LACK HORSE POWER.

Hey ron. Did you know that all of us non pros ride motoross not supercross. I would rather watch something that I can relate to. Its way way way more fun going to a national and watching bubba haul ass around a 2 mile track than to a superross and watch them in 2nd and 3rd gear jumping a triple. If you think its ok to skip out of nationals your wrong bub. We, us fans pay real good money to watch the best of the best and thats the way it should be. And somebody said the reason he didn’t race last year was beause he didn’t have a ride haha. Why wouldn’t somebody give him a ride he would wax everybody. He didn’t want to ride.
And on this black white thing james is red white and blue
Supercross is very cool but motocross is what seperates the men from the boys.I personaly think desert racing is the ticket.But what is best for the fans and the race teams.I think watching james race in and outdoors is the best thing for the fans the sport and his sponsers.
if the top guys dont race the outdoors there wont be any outdoors to race and we will start geting our butts kicked at the de nations.And if thats not important to you you have no idea how supercross even got started.
James
Hope you get better and can get back on the track soon!
To all the haters out there >> We live in America. A racer doesn’t have to race if he doesn’t want to. I personally think its smart not to run the outdoors. As we have seen again this year it is very easy to get hurt. Supercross is where its at in this country. Its the big league. Racing supercross only is a very smart choice!
I hope to see JS at the nationals. Outdoors is wear it all started; MC is suppose to be the king of SX yet he has 8 MX championships. See you at the Nationals; i hope.
james im serious? saleen553@yahoo.com i would kick reeds ass 4 u any time or place! jthompson/129
Reed did nothing wrong that’s just racing. JS & CR are the best of the best.
Hi James, I’m a big fan. Don’t worry about Reed. He needs some attention, you have the attention. Be a true champ. The best way to shut him down is keep winning then shake his hand on national tv. I’m sure he will think about becoming an ice skating figure before even you know it.
You’re gifted, don’t spoil it specially for a looser. Think about all the sacrifices your parents went through to get you at this level .
BTO7, you wrote quite a long chapter about nothing really! Chad Reed raced all year and he is also out with a broken bone. This stuff happens ALL the time as it is RACING!!! Nothing to do with James taking off Summer as I’m sure he trained harder for it. Remember, these guys risk their lives every single time they go out racing, so if they decided to do only SX, it shouldn’t bother you or anyone else in the world. Besides, from what I understand, James really wanted to race outdoors, but nobody wanted to sponsor him. Rightfully so, when you are at the top of you game as James is, there is no reason to race and not get a fair compensation for it.
Well said Steve H
I wrote twice here and also 5 months ago here also when i found out he wasnt gonna race outdoors. Besides doing it for the fans and keeping his face with the fans that go to the nationals …which is where he got all his exposure to begin with… i sad i blamed Yamaha more for the decision then james……although i think james should have just raced anyways. The difference between Chad Reed getting hurt also??? How about the fact he is now the outdoor motocross champion? Sure you can get hurt anytime …with that logic we should all stay in our houses and never come out. James would be a bit more fit (im sorry practice is NOT LIKE RACING at all) from racing outdoors…he would most likely have a outdoor nationl number 1 plate right now and im betting his mid pack start wouldnt of happened had he stayed racing. What was james doing mid pack when he got hurt in the first place. Ive watched james race since the start ….you almost NEVER ever seen him mid pack like he was when he got jumped on. I say its due to his LAY OFF. Your reaction time only needs to be a few thousandths slower and you find yourself mid pack as he did. In a desperate attempt to quickly get to the front james took that jump and if you look closely crossed over in the air under that guy….why was james pushing so hard and taking such a risk ….he was behind and had to move fast. It cost him getting hurt. Look at last here …hes always top 5 to the first turn …funny how after his first summer off hes mid pack. I said a bunch of nothing ? Ive raced for 30 yrs. Yes i raced the A class as we call it just below the pros …I wound up breaking my leg trying to quickly get to the front of a race much like james did. They didnt have him race outdoors to SAVE him right? and he still gets hurt anyways RIGHT ? Would of been smarter to keep trying to get championships for the Yamaha team and have him race the outdoors where james made his mark to begin with. Yamaha acts like they could care a less about that title…so NO NEED to race it ? BULL ! So i guess you guys feel its OK now we dont see james again until next January ?? Please answer this one ….now that hes out …maybe he should just lay off till next year now huh and give it a try again ? Staying sharp ..staying focused and racing all the time is the best was to keep from getting hurt. Do you think he should now have the next 11 months off? I didnt think so .
hey kid get better soon i hope u ride outdoors and when u come back u should ride with your #7 we all know that u r the champ you dont need that #1 plate on front keep your 7 just like rossi rides his 46!!!
Who wants to be like rossi. That dude is a dork. Child please!
did you know rossi is only the third highest paid athlete in the world.he is around 45 to 50 million a year.but yea your soo right what a dork!!!!!please he is a athlete.that guy will be a GOAT also for sure.
Thanks BT07. Your thinking what I’m thinking. Who wants to spend money to go watch motocross when the top guys in the world want to stay home and play all summer, fall and half of the winter. The only reason I have the speed channel is because of supercross and the nationals and to watch the top riders race. Wouldn’t be stupid if Payton manning sat out the last half of the season cause he wanted too. Haha. I’m mean really
Again ….being a top pro motocrosser is a FULL time job. Sitting out the outdoor National’s was a big mistake. This supercross only crap only came along back when Jeremy McGrath was winning everything year after year. Since then it seems factorys are now willing to pay a guy a full years salary for only taking part in a few months out of the year? You dont think Stewarts less then GREAT hole shot had anything to do with this injury or the fact he sat out the outdoors and loss a few thousandths of a second in reaction time off the line? I do. Ive raced for 30 years. Up in Chicago we had winters that stop us from being able to practice even over the winter months. Staying in shape was very difficult and still when the season opened you could feel the pain of the lay off. Factory teams are letting their riders get soft. Treating them like gods almost with this supercross stuff only. Let me remind you that Jeremy only got his supercross series AFTER he had won it several times and closer to the end of this career. Ricky Carmichael was a real man …and rode it all ..for the fans and for himself and why is the GOAT! This is no accident. He stayed in great shape and raced year round . Im sorry but I only see 1…and let me repeat 1 supercross tile in the premiere class by James. Is this enough to grant a guy whos has many years ahead of him enough to start a supercross only schedule? What are the guys at the top thinking ? If it was that easy …everyone would be a champ…fact is you need to race year round James. You im sorry have not earned enough supercross titles to be given this kinda contract. Jeremy earned it through multiple title wins. Its time to get back to the basics and back to buisness. These young guys are hungry. Ryan raced the outdoors …hes been on the bike full time since you sat out after the supercross series and he came and stuck it to you. Josh Hill too. Its looks a bit cocky to think already at your age you can just sit out half a year and beat all these guys. Yamaha should be ashamed for even offering such a thing in the first place. RC is the best guy to look up too. He worked year round full time and he knew that it took that to stay on top. You get paid plenty and your fans and myself wanna see you ride NOT HIDE. You have many years left and it would be wise you get busy and start looking at …its gonna be full seasons and a lot of work if you wanna go down as one of the best of all time too. Keep your edge …stay sharp …work hard and race FULL TIME. When your at the top someone is always gunning for you …its best to be ready and that means full time work. You seen how fast you just lost that number 1 plate. Hardly had it very long and lost it in the first few rounds ..there is a lesson to be learned here. Do what you did to get to where you are and put it on these guys before its too late. Get better soon and get that look in your eyes you had after the first round last year when you finished last. That look when you got interviewed is the attitude ur gonna need champ.
yoe bro i know its hard to be who you are #1 but hang in there expect the worst from everybody and dont ease up on the track make them come up to your level make the work to get their name mention along side of yours
wckd
Thats a damn shame mate.Mr. Chad Reed did’nt help the situation.Take care and be well bro,hope to see you racing again soon.you give us hope.
Guess that means you won’t be trying to wreck privateers and throwing whining fits after races while kicking over other riders’ bikes.
Big loss there…

Dear James,
Its funny how time flies!! I remember being in dallas at ur first 250cc supercross win, in april 05! You have always been a joy to watch and an inspiration to all us americans! I remember when u were having to ride a kx 250 2 stroke against all the 450cc 4 strokes!, lots dont remember that james developed the very Kawasaki kx450f, that villipoto and reed now ride!! I remember when u were on 125cc kx125s putting down lap times faster than the 250cc pole setters of that time!, we have seen you ride the wheels on those kawis against carmichael, and i believe ur the only rider that has and could beat RC heads up!!!! man those were the days! well hold ur head up bro, some folks are haters, including bitch ass Chad Reed…. He had his ass handed to him many years by you and RC! , while you and RC dueled way out front chad would casually ride around in 3rd place and wait for the fireworks, only to win his championships, if you or RC would pull out of the series!……James you are an awesome talent, and dont worry about the johnnie come lately fans that didnt witness the real racing that you and RC elevated this sport to where it is now! we all know that ur riding at about 75-80 percent of ur real speed to make for fan friendly racing, but dont hold urself back bro! bring back the old james, but ride at 90-95 percent! everybody else now doing the bubba scrub, seat bouncing triples etc….. bring back the speed that we all know you ride!!!! one of my favs was when u crashed in indy few years ago chad got holeshot, you caught back up with chad and triple-tripled into the corner and left him for the win!!!!!!! Bring back the speed and dial it back about 5-10 percent, dungey is a great talent, so get ready man…. we also know that jeremy mcgrath was riding around for years unchallenged racking up wins until a kid named RC came around on his kx250! america loves you james! shke off the haters! bring back ur speed when you get healthy! god bless u!
Very well spoken Troy!
I tend to forget that purhaps most of these comments on the net come from people who were not around the sport to witness those times. It seems they don’t realize what JS has already done for the sport!
Wen RC retired (too early in my opinion), CR decided he was going to try and step up to JS’s level. He attempted so not by increasing speed, but by trying to pick him off. Past races clearly show it. He was never fast enought to keep up. Never. I guess only the people who truely race these bikes can see this. Based on the average internet comment, Im assuming the average fan never took a rythm section on a 450 let alone ever rode a dirt bike before you know… Random thought; Remember how CR used to cry about the YZF being too slow. We know he can’t say that KFX is too slow lol!!!
Great reading bro!
What’s the need to apolagize. Chad Reed is a Punk B…….. Also why did the AMA take back there fine on Chad Reed. If this was the other way around the black guy would be fine.
Chad Reed has all ways showed poor sportsmanship, nothing like a Class act “Ricky Carmicheal” or Jeremy McGrath.
What about our youth today in motocross / Tomorrow they’ll be rode raging each other from a poor example like Chad Reed.
you should team up with jordan or nike and have them make mx gear
James, get well soon - I miss watching you race. While you have some down time consider apologizing to Kyle Partridge for cutting him off (if you have not already) and although Chad Reed can be a dick you should apoligize for knocking his bike over - it was pretty weak. I know you were totally bummed about the crash with Chad but that’s racing and sometimes you just gotta dig deep and be the bigger man. I’m not bashing you, just offering you some advice from my perspective. I hope you come back soon and kick some ass and I wish you would ride the outdoor series because I miss watching you outdoors. Good Luck! Matt
you are a tool. james doesn’t owe anyone an apology. he is the cleanest racer and best sport of any champion in recent history. grow up
Hey james i hope you have speedy recovery and hope you can back for supercross or outdoor ,coming from a old rider 561 just for fun
James,
I hope you get well soon, I am really excited to see how Dungy will do next to you. Sure he looks fast now but I really wan’t to see how fast.
oh ya I for got to tell all of the saint fans. If you guys get lost in miami just ask a colts fan cause we have already been there. Hahaha GO COLTS!!!!!!!
Hey everybody! I want to let everybody know that I think its bad for the sport when the top contenders sit out of races like outdoors. Don’t get me wrong I’m not telling these guys what to do, not at all. But in my opion if somebody can wax everybody outdoors and doesn’t compete that’s not fair to the fans the promoters and everybody involved in the money side of it. Let me put this in a different way. All of us fans work for 30 to 35 years to retire, some of us and a pro rider (js7) started making money at 16 and probley retire atleast by 31 so wouldn’t u work atleast 9 months out of the year. I mean after 31 your not making millions any more u need to start working more haha. The real truth is your blest with talent that only a few have, you and ricky are the best ever and you need to take advantage of what time you have left so you can leave your mark on the sport when your done. Supercross is not the only thing that is great to watch. Motocross is equally the same. I really hope you read this js7. Cause in future I think the top guys are going to start skipping out on the nationals and it just hurt motocross. My daughter loves you she is 9 and is bummed you won’t be at indy hope u will be at redbud. Hope u get better so you can ride outdoors and motocross of nations. Haha
James you are the sport of Supercross, get well soon dont listen to the haters on here they are just jealous of the skill that you have developed over time. Also people have to give your buddy and our friend Josh Hill mad props for holding it down for the San Manuel team while you are in recovery. Get well soon!
heal up soon. hope you ride the outdoor stuff this year.
ME AND MY SON HOPE YOU HAVE A SPEEDY RECOVERY. WE ARE BIG FANS AND LIKE WHAT YOU BRING TO THE SPORT..MY 10 YEAR OLD SON HAS HIS FIRST RACE ON APRIL 25TH..WE WELCOME ANY TIPS YOU MIGHT HAVE ..THANKS
Hey James.
Sad to hear about your injoury. The races arent the same without you, i live in Sweden and have to search for results and youtube the races, althought i was disapointed when i didnt find u in the list over San Francisco. The injoury explains why. What you have done for the sport is amazing, people who are saying that you are bad for the sport and people who say that you are cocky, they are prolly just razists or stupid. You are great for the sport and you are the fastest man alive. All over other forums people are saying “Stewart is so fast, he cant be human”.. That explains alot, nobody ever wrote that about other riders.. And people write it all over the internet about you. Good Luck and heal well. Hoping to see you ride in real life someday.
James, take your time and heal the best you can. If it takes 10 to 12 weeks, then that’s what it takes. It probably takes longer than that to build one of those super cars in your garage. So, Got Netflix??? Make appearances at your events when you’re good & ready and show ALL the fans why you are the Champ! Injuries are certainly a bummer but you are VERY important to the sport and some fans won’t even go if you’re not there. This is the perfect time for you to work with Nike and release the James Stewart 7.0 Moto Cross Boot. The WORLD is ready for it! I’ve been waiting for it for over 10 years from you. I’ll buy the 1st pair and wish you’d sign them for my boy. Back in the day when the Staben’s worked on the Mini Warriors series with you I knew you were the real deal.
“Champions work harder than racers!”
A Serious Black Fan has spoken.
Maybe this will put you in to retirement. Your actions on the track are totally unexceptable. You are a discrace to the sport with your additude. Also the total disrespect for your fellow riders. maybe now you will move on to other things you could learn something from RC,CR,& the great MC
7hater-
Why would anyone listen to a blog flamer like you.. A name like “7hater” its clear that James could do no right with you… In fact you probably thought his actions in Vegas were inexcusable too… I mean, how dare he try to get taken out maliciously by Chad while letting him pass on the inside… LOL.. Fairies like yourselves are a disgrace to motorsports and you should you should go play in your sandbox with the rest of the 4 year Oldsmobile (don’t mean to disrespect other 4 year olds)..
Have fun cheering on riders that can’t beat James straight up in a race… LOL..
7hater, you talking about learning something from cr like, not taking 1st and leaving your trophy just sitting on the ground and walking away? thats real mature.
YOU ARE A NERD…
James Bubba JS7 Stewart= Future of our sport
You= Nerd
James you are the sport of Supercross, get well soon dont listen to the haters on here they are just jealous of the skill that you have developed over time. Also people have to give your buddy and our friend Josh Hill mad props for holding it down for the San Manuel team while you are in recovery.
I really wouldn’t even put little Stewy’s husband R.C in there. A few years a go in St.ouis, R.C. went over his bar in the woops. He missed the boat about a foot. A photgerfer went up to him when he was walking threw the track. HE POPPED THAT MAN WRIGHT IN THE LENS! The camera broke in piecies. I really didn’t have much respect before, not much at all after that!
Hey 7hater
Before you come on this site why don’t you go back to school and learn proper english and spelling.
People like you are a disgrace to society. YOU LOSER!
GO BUBBA GO!
From your true north fans FULL THROTTLE EH!!!
Firstly learn to spell, come on the basics first before you come on here to slag off JS1. Secondly this is a JS1 site, no1 here cares what you think as we’re his supporters not haters. The funny thing is haters only make noise against some1 who’s good and they’re jealous of. I mean a mx racer who does a 24-0 in the outdoors is obviously not special.
7hater thats the right name for you…. how are you gonna say james is a disgrace to the sport if he holds most of all the fastest lap times at every event he rides in crushing the other riders easily. It’s sounds like you just dont like to see a black rider taking over supercross….. I dont see you riding AMA Supercross Series???? Yea thats rite because your a f**king disgrace to Supercross around the world!!
James take the time off heal and enjoy your family. There’s gonna be many more times to race and show the WORLD why u ride with that red #1 Plate…. so may god bless you and make your haters your motivators. And tell malcolm to get back on the bikes and ride so he can thrill the world as well.
Have you ever rode a bike? PUNK
NO TODD, I ONLY HAVE FIVE. SLUT! You guy’s can’t stand if someone thinks LITTLE STEWY can never be a KING.
James hope you get well soon I know you will be back soon because you are the best
sucks tht u got hurt. i dont even want to watch the races without u in them
This season is a little crazy. Then again, they all are. What is the record for overcoming the largest points deficit? Mmmm…Speedy Recovery from one Black man to another. My son and I hope to see you at Anaheim 3.
james,
ull be in my prayers. sucks that ur out of the season, now i dont even want to attend dallas or houston. but ur a straight beast and i know ull be back hungrier than ever. injuries do that. good luck bro.
Hey James,sorry to hear about your injury.I was hoping to see you in Dallas,but just relax and heal properly so you can come back strong.Your fans in Bermuda are pulling for you.
P.S.Tell your dad to put some of that BERMUDA BLACK RUM on that wrist (smile).See you in Vegas.
YOU…opps. Love ya and wishing you well.
James, I really hope you recover quickly. I am a HUGE FAN. My husband and I watch every race. This year I am going to my first race in INDIANNOPLIS. It just won’t be the same without.
Jame’s i really thought you would have that number 1 plate for 2011. Get well soon and wish you the best of luck .
Good luck on a recovery, come back quickly! Best regards from Slovenia! Vucko
HEY CHAMP ! I JUST HEARD ,SORRY TO HEAR THAT, GOOD LUCK ON A SPEEDY RECOVERY AND CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU BACK OUT ON THE TRACK, GOD BLESS
