- This is round 11 of the 2002 Chevy Trucks 125cc Motocross Championship from Broome Tioga Sports Center in Binghamton, NY.
Returning 125cc contenders like rookies Billy Laninovich, James "Bubba" Stewart, Eric Sorby, and (125cc East SX champ) Chad Reed, former 250cc riders Larry Ward, Damon Huffman, and 5-time Arenacross champ Buddy Antunez, 125cc Sophomores Grant Langston and Steve Boniface, Branden Jesseman, Greg Schnell, Brock Sellards, 250cc Supercross rider Ernesto Fonseca, Michael Byrne, 125cc West SX champ Travis Preston, Chris Gosselaar, Matt Walker, and defending champ Mike Brown battle it out for the 2002 Chevy Trucks 125cc Motocross Championship. James Stewart, Jr. clinches his first professional championship and breaks the first of Ricky Carmichael's 125cc records -- most overall wins in a rookie season with overall win #9 (to Ricky's 8 wins in 1997), which also ties him with Ricky's 1999 record of most overall wins in a single season (RC won 9 races in 1999).
Enjoy.
I was at that race, all the way from England. Had a tour of the Kawasaki semi, thanks to Bruce, the team manager at the time 👌 best holiday I've ever had .
Wow lucky you!
That’s a great story ❤️
The Greatest 125cc rider ever no question about it
125s only -- no argument there!
it will be another 20 or 30 yrs before we see such a stand out MX rider like Stewart
You're probably right. We won't see dominance like Stewart in the small-bore class anytime soon.
Did you say only,James is one of the greatest riders in the 250cc racing that KX 250 against 450s and beating everyone even Carmichael . The things James did on that KX250 was unbelievable . James is one of the greatest riders ever just ask Reed ,
While I respect Stewart still going up against 37 450s in 2005 MX on that 250 2-stroke, we all knew that was a recipe for disaster, but James had no choice but to ride that 250 because Kawasaki didn't have their 450 available yet. He was clearly underpowered, and we saw the visible difference and what David Bailey meant when he said "The 250cc class is different."
Fuck yeah dude this is all I cared about, Stewart on a 125 bignhamton NY. I rode this track 2 years ago and I'm pretty sure its officially gone. Great to see races here thanks so much bud
not even from a prodigy like Dangerboy Deegan will we see such kind of dominance and aggression when riding
Probably not.
It's awesome. Nobody filming with their self phone. Take me back 2002.
During the time where today's technology was what one could only dream of.
@@MathewVsSportsMediaandGames Yeah I hear you.
@@jackryan716 I'd like to think life was a little more simpler back then, but not as simpler as the '80s were. This was also the time where I'd later find someone new to cheer for after McGrath's unexpected retirement in January 2003.
I was there in the hill with my mini-vhs. Had to pee for an hour and didn't want to miss anything
PUT THIS TRACK BACK ON THE CIRCUIT!!!!
I miss this track myself, but not as much as Kenworthy's.
Parents who loved him soooo much..
Loved him so much? I think moreof relying too much on him.
Without mom a dad he would not have made it!!!!
@@davidcooper4385 Well, yeah, but that's only 20% of your success; the other 80 is the effort and dedication you put in.
James was a natural hello!!!!!
@@davidcooper4385 After what I saw early in Supercross, not really -- he was fast, but very wishy-washy.
The 2-stroke won in the mud.
It's really the rider, and I wouldn't call this race muddy.
@FreshOuttaJersey damn dude i saw the property up for sale couple months ago, they still have it opened?
That is a weak field. Why did this place close? They packed this place every year. I hope someone refurbishes these older videos.
I wouldn't necessarily say "weak field," because the 125cc class was pretty stacked early on. Unfortunately, nobody had the kind of luck James Stewart had that season.
Defending champ Mike Brown was out for the summer with injury, and Grant Langston missed some races due to knee surgery. Chad Reed was having a season of "WTF" moments as well.
Ernesto Fonseca also returned for one last season in the 125cc class, too. Rodrig Thain had fallen off the radar after a shoulder injury sidelined him for much of the Supercross season, too.
Point taken, but Ernesto was nothing special, and Brown didn't really come into his own until his late 20's. Langston is the only star among these 3.
@@gorgemetz8062 I wouldn't necessarily say that about Ernesto either. He was a top 3 contender his entire career, and up until his career-ending injury before Daytona 2006, Ernie really only had one other bad injury that cost him a season (a knee in 2004).
True also about Brown, but he WAS racing in Europe after '96, so that should be taken into consideration.
No disagreements on Langston as the only star, but add in Chad Reed, James Stewart, etc., and the class was pretty stacked. My guess would be nobody thought a 16-year-old rookie would whoop the field with 10 victories overall.
just raced the state champs like a week ago there
There goes the 2 stroke
Mm-hmm.
Lol reed ,
As a Chad Reed fan, this was one of many problems for him in the second half of the 125cc MX series. I do admit that I don't approve of his actions at Washougal, but Chad did mature through the years after around '09.
MathewV21688 what did he do at Washougal?
@@charliemike13 Reed tangled w/ Ryan Huffman coming down Horsepower Hill and when Ryan Huffman checked on him, Reed gave Huffman a bit of a punch. I didn't like it myself honestly because the bad luck for Reed was beginning to pile up, and his chances of saving 2nd overall in the series were going away fast.
