I remember when bubba started in the 125cc supercross, he was so fast that the 250 riders would go out and watch him practice to learn where the fastest lines were, his lap times were as good as theirs. Awsome racer and that grin, everytime you saw him without his helmet on he was smiling, a true champion.

James Stewart. The name really says it all. I've never seen such an amazing inspirational rider. He is definitely a role model.

The sound of real dirt bikes is so nice to hear. Don't get to hear that much these days.

Watching this in 2019 makes me a bit saddened that this era is over.

James Stuart a truly gifted member of the human race.

RC = GOAT, Greatest of all Time JS7 = BOAT, Best of all Time. He was the absolute best to watch, there will never be another "Stew"

It’s disgusting the prejudice bubba had to go through. It just makes me respect him even more. He will go down in history as one of the best of all time.

I love James and have been around him since he got on board Team Kawasaki as a 125 factory rider. I'll never forget Mark Johnson of Team Green telling me how impressed they were with how hard he worked, how much he rode, and how many KX's he destroyed......a month. They loved it! R&D feedback was infinite. Historically, only RC came close. What I really admired was that he practiced his "checkered flag-victory jump" every day, every practice. The same way Jerry Rice used to take every catch in 49er practice all the way to the end zone, regardless of where on the field the pass was caught. Visualize victory. Practice winning. Develop the habit of winning. Expect to win. Every race is your race to win. Furthermore, in nearly 50 years in and around the business of motocross and supercross, there are very few people I don't know, haven't met, or don't consider friends. "Big James" Stewart Sr. is among my favorite people I've had the pleasure and honor to have been around in the business. His enthusiasm is unrivaled, wealth of knowledge is endless, and love of this sport is infectious. My father was never 1/500th the man, father, cheerleader, provider, husband, or role model that James Stewart Sr. is.

This kid was a comet , beautiful to watch, waaaaay different than the rest , truly changed the landscape while he was here , completely changed the way we viewed the landscape of our sport and just like that , he was gone.. I raced James in 00 or 01 I cant remember the year at muddy creek in Tennesee . I was used to dominating locally and my area for Lorettas was Muddy Creek , I had raced MuddyC 3 times before and placed 2nd all 3 and all 6 motos. That next year I had put in more effort and seat time than ever and when I lined up, I was winning , there was no doubt, that morning I went out to practice and I was laying down laps for my dad to time and the last lap I was coming through the spectator turn before the table top around the tree and I THOUGHT, you couldn't go any faster, I look over and a kid on a Kawi comes by me , ON THE OUTSIDE, standing up through the turn , drags the pegs off the table top and just like that he was gone Smfh . He was just on another level.

The King of GOAT's!

Legendary support and determination. RESPECT. 🤘

missing him race right now:(

I followed him from the beginning, he really can ride like no others

I'm glad James has brought alot of black people into the sport it shows that motocross is a family and a struggle together, I just hope that the black fans he brings in are fans of him as a rider not just because hes black because once the helmets on every one is a rider and share the same passion and struggles of racing regardless of race or place your from. It should be more about the common interest of having fun together as a family that's what big James is all about. James isn't the best but one of the greatest riders of his time and a true icon to the sport. Real hero!

It still gives me chill bumps.

Yeah he's one of my favorite all time rider's.

This video is awesome and James Stewart is an amazing rider and put his mark in the sport of motorcycle racing.

One of the inventors or riding technique. I only know a few. Here they are. 1) Kent Howerton; "clutching it". Kent was on a slower bike, Husky I think, than the new Japanese bikes coming out, but Kent would still have more speed than his fellow racers coming out of the corners. A had full of pro racers watched him from the side of the track one day, to figure out what he was doing, and "clutching it" was born. Because he had less power, Kent would go into a corner a gear higher than normal. This meant he had to shift one less time, but normally, this would cause you to bog coming out of the corner as the engine could not pull the taller gear well. So Kent would pull the clutch in before the apex, and hold the throttle wide open, feeding the power out with the clutch. It would also force him to try and hit the corners faster to avoid bogging, and e was able to exit faster out of them, sifting one less time again. 2) David Bailey: The back break in the air, (clutch in so you don't stall the engine in the air, which I did once; That was weird) to basically bring the rear wheel up if the front end was too high. I don't know the story, but I understand he invented it, and I used it a lot myself. 3) James Stewart: The Bubba Scrub. knocked up to .5 seconds of some jumps, and that really added up in a lap. Nobody ever did the scrub like James did on the 125. I never raced a 4-stroke, but my intuition says the typical 4-stroke racer does not use the clutch like that, and none of them can scrub them like James invented. Inventing racing techniques, in my mind, sets those racers a bit apart from those who only follow.

The best in the world... James Stewart...

James stewart and ricky carmichael great génération lucky usa

He always smile that makes his dad so proud of him. His parents looks like his siblings

Simply the best....

Fastest man in Motocross legend great person great parents overcome and conquer

Man im black and my dream is to be in Supercross, tbh yall white folk need to grow up, it aint nothing wrong with somebody with a different skin color, who wanna do the best at what they love

Such a humble family I miss Bubba he was one of my favorite riders!!!!

Keep that Smile on your face in 2014 Supercross opener. Greatest of all time.

Great rider, great fun to watch ride. He reminds me some of Magoo Chandler both had a lot of speed and a lot of heart

LEGEND !!!!!!

Wish he still riding. The most spetecular motocrosser ever.

James Keep Braaping!

Miss him so bad awesome guy

Awesome

The things him and his family had to go threw when he was a kid just to make it big in the sport it was with out a doubt he was going to make it to the top no matter what and he did

Ahhhh, the pre-mix. The good ol' days!

Coming from a white guy, it was great watching you beat all the white boys at their game. It was great when you dominated the sport of motocross. Thanks for the awesome racing. 👍

“You win on a Monday” oh ya. You got it right James senior

Love you BUBBA!!!!! you're my childhood hero!

And he had the crazy 24 - 0 season :)

best dad and mom 👏👏

we love JS7

mike, tiger, james ... in a completely different league, the one that makes it look easy

someone who invented technique in sport, they're will become a winner and legend.

so true

McGrath got me into it but Bubba made me love it 🤙🏽

I saw him in that movie it's a wonderfull life

The part where he talked about "black people shouldnt ride motorcycles" kinda ticked me off. What kind of idiot would say that to ANY great athlete of ANY sport. Black, white, blue, green, whatever, if you are good, I, along with many other people respect you of that. When I grew up watching James ride, and even now, I dont think of him as "the black racer", he is just another guy out on the track trying to win a championship, and nothing else than that.

His dad has to be one of the most selfless people. That’s fatherhood man. Dude was a great rider but he gave up HIS dream so his son could have his.

I love how it says he's at the kawasaki test track but it has honda banners lining the turns lol

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Bubba 259 revolutionised the whole sport. .🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

MX racing is a family sport. It takes the whole family to support you in the amateur ranks

and that people, is the perfect motocross life.

Fuck Prejudices and racism, moto untites us all 🤟 James Stewart will always be a legend.

Proud dad moment right there

Why at the end it says kawasaki test track...but it has honda banners all over??

Fastest man on the fuckin planet

James Stewart is a beast a legend athlete innovator bubba scrub 🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼

I wonder if that's Adam it's that little boy in the picture with James with the two trophies bigger than the both of them. Who is that kid.

Raw talent American as anyone's apple pie.

Like to watch you race James you was one of the best it sad that everything has to be black and white ever this time and age now if you was built like Shack I would say no i don’t think motocross would be very good choice lol but you definitely was great and in joyed watching you and RC battling it out

eu espero um dia corre au seu lada ee gainha um dia james stewart

James us one hell of a rider older kawasakis dont handle good and he won on them

thanks 4 skippin dem commercials

Jame is OK.. he has proven he can win when he needs to.. and he is mature now, I hope he wins this years championship outdoors..

🤙🤙🤙

My Boy! Malcolm is next! #islandridersatvmc

Nowadays most people won't watch motocross/supercross unless he's racing haha

THIS DUDE WENT THROUGH WHAT TIGER AND THE TWO SISTERS WENT THROUGH LILLY HATES LOOSING LOOK AT OUR POLITICS YOU WERE GOOD JAMES ONE THING YOU HAVE HOPEFULLY LEARNED IS DAD NOW'S HIS SHIT HE'S BEEN THERE DONE THAT THE LITTLE HEAD RULES FOR AWHILE GOOD LUCK LISTEN

For black ppl not supposed to ride he is one of the greatest to throw a leg over a bike

I think JS7 was cheated - JS7 should of moved up into the 250 class with RC and CR way ealier. James Stewart Races for love and respect, Everyone raced to beat Stewart and that's all they cared about.

I like his dad.

Mike Rowe?

the year is 2020 & I wish I could see JS7 prime rip a new bike apart✖️

a brilliant rider when not on the ground, however, r.c. remains the best ever, when j.s. came along, r.c. picked up his game,trained harder and just got faster.

It’s all good concerning the place that Bubba sits in today. But when it comes to parents dreams becoming true through the child is wild and slave like. Directing a child to become the best at what the parent decide they should be the best at and all the while coaching them an dragging them along, is not moral. No matter how good James became, he still was used and abused so that he could be a business opportunity for his parents. It’s common sense. Anyways Americans are the professionals at this practice. We all want to make someone proud especially our parents, so what ever our parents push us towards then that’s who we become. Most of the time. James and his brother are a part of this theory!

perfect motocross life? no sir. to have a full ride from 50s to big bikes is perfect and to not worry about paying rent and bills by the end of the day. so many families go through the toughest times in there life trying to make it to the top as stewarts family did.

Well they pushed him out so its back to plain vanilla supercross no rc McGrath no chad Reed mike lorocco leave James alone he chilling now

I am white and James Bubba Stewert Is my number one itle

so what happened where did he go i honestly don't know he was fun to watch but chad was a little better because bubba couldn't handle the machine he kept crashing

We're not all African-American, my dad's is have black and it's English English it's black man that's English not African-American.

people came to a js video just to comment rc better🤣😂🤣

Shit son 3 bens! anybody notice that ahah james is the best!

great parents

#784 - #259

Yeah but Dungey and RV never raced RC

He's got my attention for his crashes in every race. Now he is a star for me. Crashman Stewrt.

Fastest and most popular SX rider ever!

Who was on the thumbnail......is that Shaq???

Oh he isn't smiling these days. Why isn't Malcolm racing outdoors?

Well hell he got boosted as a child by his parents

Ha Ha the truth hurts

Them white boys hated them and it still shows ...but anyway 259 js7 is deff the greatest show on dirt fuck the titles he got plenty 😎😎😎kawasaki treated him like shit the only reason he didnt win is because he took risks and owns it

Adderall is a hell of a drug test himself to do so he knows jesco is a good woman 👩

Dont know what racial hurdles hes talking about, everybody idolized him from pw days ALL THE WAY UP. Dude was homeschooled and spend every other waking minute racing...where he was loved by all.

Awesome lets make this about race. how about the guy won some races and did great for a while. how bout that. Why does every damn thing always have to be about race.

He was good but RV was faster

Bullshit! Nobody said black people can't ride a motorcycle!

Dirt bikes: one of the few sports whites are actually better at 😂. People are for sure gunna get butt hurt over that.

Omg they had to throw the race thing in it....puke...sorry I just threw up a little in my mouth..
