Our friends over at TransWorld Motocross recently posted this killer video of James testing out at Pala Raceway in Southern California in preparation for his return to the outdoor Nationals. Check it out!

James’ pre-Nationals visit to DMXS Radio, as well as a recent leak in information on the Facebook page of his trusty gear sponsor Answer Racing, has led to a ton of speculation and hardcore bench racing regarding the former National MX champ’s return to racing this summer. Though his nagging, slow-healing wrist injury prevented his return to racing by the 2010 Pro Motocross Championship series opener at Hangtown, James has been focused and determined to join the series just as soon as humanly possible. With a recent blessing from his doctor to make a slow, pain-dependent return to riding, James now has his head down in an attempt to get back up to racing speed in the coming few weeks. Here’s a quick word from James on his progress and potential return…

“I’m working hard every day in the gym, and I’m also starting to ride more and more in hopes of making a strong comeback before the end of the Nationals. My goal right now is to make it back for the last four races [Unadilla, Southwick, Steel City, and Pala]—that’s the hope—but we are assessing my riding everyday to see if that time frame is actually possible. As soon as my team and I make a firm commitment to attend a race, my fans will be the first to know at JS7.com!”

Okay, we know what you’re thinking… Judging from these whip photos, James has really been riding for quite some time now, but keeping it a secret on his private track at home in Florida. Wrong! This gallery is literally from James Stewart’s first day back on a bike after more than four months off… And while Stewart’s wrist was a bit sore after throwing these upside-down beauties (which was to be expected), even James himself was pretty amazed at how his whips somehow managed to get even BIGGER during all that time off.
