    Sadly, the journey was over. Have no clue where James is but I saw Malcolm’s post of him with his kids and he seems happy. I think it’s time we all stop hoping for a come back and start to appreciate what he gave us. He’s the greatest to ever do it.

    I remember watching James when he was dominating 125. He wasn't racing to win! It was like he was just trying to go as fast as he could possibly go! It was like a lion was hunting him down, and he was trying to get away from it. Like his life depended on it. By far my greatest sports hero.

    A true legend.
    Thank you Big James for bringing Jr. to the sport.
    It was a pleasure to watch him ride.
    I didn't care if he won or not, I just loved his style!!!

    A legend. He may be having some troubles lately, but I believe he will be back. I got into motocross in the early 2000s after I got out of the US Army and got to see Stewart in his 125 Kawi days. Amazing is all I can say! Got his autograph and a photo with him at the Houston SX and remember the line being huge, but he would give every person the same attention. You can tell he has a true deep passion for the sport and his fans. Sure would like to shake his hand again one day.

    • @blowyabrainzout
      @blowyabrainzout Před 7 lety +1

      True, He is the fastest even to this very day. But fitness & stamina would need to be right. The fastest riders today know this too! Roczen, Tomac, Musquin, Barcia, Anderson, Wilson, Bagget these are all people who he beat easily & lets be honest, if were speaking specifically about supercross stewart's margin of wins grows even more. tomac has good stamina but never been extremely fast in sx and tends to throw races, points and championship's away as stewart has done. Roczen would actually be stewart's biggest threat. Roczen is fast, good stamina. Anderson is wild card i dont think he has stewart or Roczen's speed, but he's def willing to hang it out there. Ride in peace #IgorCuharciuc @MXGP

    • @themassacrecat5653

      who do you believe is better? Tomac or Musquin?

    • @mitchringel4270
      @mitchringel4270 Před 4 lety

      theMassacreCAT BETTER or FASTER, I think there’s a difference. The best would have to factor in championships, wins, time missed due to injury, stuff like that. I think Tomac is faster, but musquin is almost like a Ryan dungey from France, consistent, always in the top 5, always in the running for the championship. Tomac though definitely has more speed, and more physical ability, and lately he has the consistency part working more in his favor. So I didn’t really answer your question, but cheers.

He competed in 5 out of the 17 rounds and only 2 outdoor rounds. He was out of shape and bitching. Barely had enough points to keep his #. These videos are from 2015. They just published it now

      You're no Nostradamus. The only way he is on the start line come A1 is if he funds a team himself. Neither him or Bubba have a ride for 2017. Very sad way for such a career to end.

    • @ScottSouthy
      @ScottSouthy Před 7 lety +1

      Go to his intsagram. He himself states this is old footage from last year put together by Gopro. The Suzuki team has folded and he is not riding for RCH. But hey you keep believing, at least until Jan 7th.

    • @lovanit
      @lovanit Před 7 lety

      Southy he never rode for rch. It was factory yoshimira suzuki. But your right he's gonna have to fund his own team now.

    • @ScottSouthy
      @ScottSouthy Před 7 lety

      Fully aware of that mate I never said he DID ride for RCH. I said he is not going to be riding for RCH which turned out correct. I now don't think he will even fund his own program. Sadly I believe he will just fade away.

      @AMM1998 Před 7 lety +10

      Dan Dreese exactly. hes had his time at the top of the sport but now its time to slow down and enjoy the sport instead of having a win or die trying mentality. he seems like hes the happiest hes been in years and im actually stoked for him. nothing to be sad about ether,. in my opinion as well as many others hes the most talented rider to ever throw a leg over a bike and had an unbelievable career.

    My son was 4 when I got him a 50cc Villa with Dual Exhaust! 😸. Then, when 6 he got a PW50. Beat it like a wicked step child so I got a Suzuki DS80 when he was 7. When he was 8.5 he got a KX60. He wouldn't even look at the 80. It was then we went to Hollister race track. I had no intentions of his racing. After a year we , He entered a race at Hollister, Ca. 15 kids, 3-5 DS80 bikes. He wheelied and started last. He finished 2nd, right on 1st place butt. We were hooked. He had an excellent amateur 13 year experience. But he gets arm pump so pro was a no go. He still rides today, very fast. 85% of his races 1-3rd. A lot of trophies.

    I have been watching Bubba tear it up on the tracks since he was a kid. He has always seemed like an incredibly nice young man. Scott

      Hango Maze no he isn't racing ay A1. Some speculate that he is going to retire at A1 but I guess we will have to wait and see.

      Yeah from what he was saying in video he is , he did this a couple of years where even in introductions they didn't announce him and he still raced

    He is the best. James got screwed with the suspension. I hope he kicks everyone's ass this year

    Still one of my hero's, even though he gave some of the worst advice to younger riders. I remember him saying that if you didn't fall every practice you weren't training hard enough. Definitely broke some stuff because of that line.
