I raced with James Stewart for a few years and his family was always super nice to me and my family..great people hands down dont care what anyone says.
That’s a clean ass evo in ur profile pic LOL
@PaPa Shango u sound like ur parents are related
His dad LOVED dirtbikes and adored racers... He was a life long fan of AMA.
@@Xero1111 Have you ever heard RC4 talk about JS7??? You're so ignorant to the sport if you think that 🤣 the dude to introduce scrubbing jumps to the sport??? Him??? LMFFFAAAOOO clown
The animosity started at Unadilla in 2002 when James let Reed pass him and then James passed him back, checked out, and left Reed in the dust.
Oh. You must mean THIS- czcams.com/video/7o0aHp6HezQ/video.html
Ya, James took a shit on him that day, that has to be one of the all time best disses in sports history, of any sport... ever
James did that because Chad was saying the week before if had better starts he could beat James.
Yep, that was James shutting down Chad's mouth. Pretty ballsy. Chad just HATED getting 2nd and hated anyone that made him get it. He's a competitor!
@@bighaasfly wow I always loved stewart. this is why. pure balls
This was what I needed. I tried to listen to the 3 hr. podcast and had to shut it down. Host thinks people want to hear him talk. Please shut up.
Scott Stewart You took the words right out of my mouth.
@@edwardbrownstien8741 well considering it’s a podcast and not an interview its fine. It’s his show of his talking with guys and he releases for free. Don’t watch it. If you want something different go talk with reed yourself.
Man thanks a lot for that interview. I wasn't a big fan of Chad growing up, but that dude definitely deserves a lot of respect ! I didn't know about his grandfather. Cool story. I really liked him being honest about how he felt about James, despite all the things that happened between them. A class act. GO #22 !!!
I miss those epic races between Bubba, Ricky, and Chad. Those were the days!!!
This was interesting to watch after seeing Bubbas World last week. I was born in ‘91 so I grew up watching Chad and James. Cool to see them sit down and spend time together now all these years later.
I was never a big Chad fan but I respect him as a racer. But this season and what he did at the end of outdoors and the cup. I want to see him go out there and do well he’s got so much passion and heart. Dudes got huge balls
rvrbarnacle79 all he did was play crash up derby with stewart lmao
@roy east oh piss off he didn’t.
@roy east there never was any racer who respected the sport more than reed!
James always said that when he retired, we would never hear from him again.
This was great. For those of you bagging on the host, you have to realize that clearly Chad likes the guy and it needs to be a conversation to ease Chad into opening up. The host isn’t going to just sit there and let Chad do all the talking. Otherwise you’re just gonna get typical magazine interview short answers.
I appreciate Chad Reed being open..
I as going to say this should have been a 3 hr podcast....It was so the back and forth is very cool.
I LOVE THE HONESTY of their conversation with RACE. I love Chad & James both. ITS JUST COMPETITION, that’s all, people injected RACE where it didn’t need to be. LOVE THIS!!!
two of the greatest are so close to celebrating their greatness as a whole. You were kids, Now your men.
When Reed was racing I didn’t really have an opinion on him, aside of him being an awesome rider. Now hearing him do interviews I think I really missed out on not being more of a fan of him. He may be one of the most normal, down to earth famous people out there. I’m glad he’s still involved with the sport. I’ve seen many great riders in my time as a fan of motocross and supercross, but I can honestly say Reed and Deegan seem to be two of the coolest people that have come out of our beloved sport.
I respect Chad as a racer that put in 100% day in day out.
And being so honest in this interview.
Love hearing this.
Its an amazing feat to accomplish what these two have done! For me, supercross will never be the same with one gone. Being a fierce competitor myself, I understand what high stakes competition does to you, but in the end, a competitor is a competitor. I am lucky to have witnessed these careers and have been blown away by how fast a dirt bike can be ridden. Thanks Chad, Thanks James!
Touche'
Let Chad do the talking, and don’t interrupt!
Ya. This interviewer needs to shut the fuck up
@@rickymcu it’s a podcast not a fucking interview. It’s his show and these guys choose to talk to him if you don’t like it move along.
@@seaeff6428 No it’s not, we click on it cuz it’s Chad reed. People come to hear these guys being interviewed. Cmon guy, you gotta have an IQ over 3 to understand what’s going on here.
Dude do you really want to sit back and argue? It’s a fucking podcast. If you understand what a podcast is it’s not just asking questions and getting answers. Oh good one an IQ over 3. I’m a software engineer for Rivian but have an IQ of 3 that makes sense? Meanwhile morons who call themselves “Rick James” don’t know the different between a podcast and an interview, then tell me I’m wrong when I tell them it’s a podcast. Go to podcasts on your iPhone and type in “gypsy tales”. I understand it’s chad reed and you clicked on it to hear a certain interview but that’s not what Gypsy Tales is. Jase isn’t a fucking interviewer for NBC. He owns operates and produces “HIS” show and can run it however he wants. Considering Chad has been on twice and Ricky was on with chad once I’d say he’s doing a pretty good job. If you don’t like the way this is ran then find something else because Jase isn’t going to go to an interview format just to please you.
You said “no it’s not” to me saying “it’s a podcast” and “it’s his show...these guys choose to talk to him.” What exactly can you say “no it’s not” to? It IS a podcast, and they DO choose to talk to him.
Try calling me out when you’re too dumb to recognize the facts.
Yeah man I have an IQ of 3 when you’re the one who said you need an IQ over 3 to understand what’s going on. You don’t understand what’s going.
How is being a gas station attendant by the way?
@@seaeff6428 Rivian haha really? What...... were all the software engineering jobs at Nikola taken? You probably got the Rivian job after being fired from Theranos? You should Try working for a “real” innovative company like Tesla, or SpaceX. You know, companies that actually make money. And what’s wrong with being a gas station attendant? Someone has to fill up your 1999 Clapped out Honda Civic!
Miss James. So I root for his brother every week!! Love to see him commenting with Rickey and Chad some day
The host tries soo hard to relate. Like shut up for two seconds and let the guest talk!
The host and chad are actually friends and both come from Australia so I think this was more like 2 friends talking than an actual interview or anything. If you listen to the whole interview which was a couple hours long, you get a better vibe of what was actually going on. It's more like story telling and hanging out than an actual interview.
RB26 DETT well said
Full!
Exactly!!! That's why I love Real Talk with RC and Emig. Check it out! Best Moto podcast there is!!
Salient Arms Our culture has been subverted. Blame the Rothschild banksters. Greed is the death of humanity.✌️
Chad Reed was the Dale Earnhardt of motocross. He was a dirty rider. Many of his wins were because the best guys crashed or were out for the season.
yeah right mate. He lost so many SX titles by only 10 points or less in 2003, 05, 06, 09, and 11 crashed out in 2012 and 2014 and won 2004 and 2008. plus add the 2009 Mx Title. Could of won more not due to people crashing.
Did anyone else notice how the host cuts off Chad every time he talks?
Lol
I think he’s fine. Have you guys ever seen someone having a chat before? Jesus Christ.
yeh the host is an embarrassment. trying to be a big shot with his swearing. let chad talk, no one came to hear about the host.
@@kristiank77 It’s a podcast. They’re just having a conversation that happens to be recorded. Chad and Jase are buddies. Go listen to Joe Rogan. It’s not an interview.
@@kristiank77 lol the two are friends they are talking like friends
Nice interview JS7 always my guy
How this channel only has 75k subs I have no idea.
Chad Reed is such a solid dude, I feel so lucky to have finally been able to go see a race and it happened to be his last time in Seattle. Transworld made a poster of him from the same race and I still have that hanging in the shop.
Great interview. I don't know what's up with all the haters. Thanks for the content bro!
Did you watch it. The fucking host went on one long diatribe....
@@user-zx1ir7jt4c It’s a podcast not an interview. Fucking moron. That’s it. It’s not meant to be a Q&A. Bunch of cry babies acting like it’s the Oprah show. It’s a 3 hour podcast that provided more information than you’ll get elsewhere.
Reed says that the racial component to their rivalry came from James. Then, he tries to solidify the assertion by claiming Aboriginal heritage and that his Grandfather is Black (as if having any connection voids any possibility of having biases). Listen to his words, I love "them". SMH
James might be one of the most talented MX riders ever, but he carried the weight of supporting his entire family.
His aloof nature might be how he coped.
RC, JS, and CR at the start gate. The rest are racing for 4th place.
Might be? His is by far the most talented he changed the game with his skill!
be a lot of pressure at a young age knowing you are the money maker in the family
I think the real rub for Chad Reed was that he was the best rider on any track unless James or Ricky were there. Then he was always racing for third. He's just lucky that Travis pastrana decided Motocross was too boring for him otherwise he'd have been racing for fourth.
Just because stewart slowed down to pass you again doesnt mean you have to hate him lol
I've always been a fan of chad Reed, being a huge fan of James stewart after seeing this video I have even more respect for chad I thought all that animosity towards James was just not liking james because he was black.
Miss james Stewart not racing anymore but I'm going to enjoy these last few races chad has left because it's also coming to an end and will miss chad also riding and watching him.
Thank you chad Reed for showing what was really in your heart bro, will always be a huge fan and have mad respect for you too.
Chad has black family.... can a man of one race dislike another man of a different race without race being a factor in that anomosity? Its weird you automatically make that assumption. Chad's never said anything about race
@yamahakid450f you have to be real, there's so much racism out there you just never know.
Chad would of never gone after Carmichael like that, grabbing on his neck in that race when James beat him straight up, or another rider.
The reason why that was brought up is because Reed brought it up in this conversation and this is what they're talking about. (Watch the entire video) Stewart was spit on by racist pieces of s***s in the stands when he was racing and Australians are known for racism. Not everyone is of course, but you can't rule that out.
WOW. Never knew chads background. New respect for him.
We dont care to hear the host's life story. Ask Chad questions and then shut up.
chill its his show, if you can do it better make your own lmao
@@dawsonvandecar1612 I dont have to have my own show to see better. I just watch another one. This dude sucks.
It’s a podcast not an interview.
if you don’t want to hear then don’t listen and fuck off ya twat
Blood will follow bloooooooood
Chad pulling the "My grandpa was black" card. Love it! hahahaha
😂😂
I bet he has a black friend 😂
I have black tyres on my car so i can relate
I csnt even believe i heard that 😂😂😂
If Chad's grandpa was/is Black, he wouldn't just say it -- it would be easy enough to research and confirm and call him out as a blatant liar if he was "playing a card". And who knows? It could very well be that the Stewarts had chips on their family shoulders -- and really, who could blame them, with racist fans, racist social media comments, etc? I don't think anyone's really "guilty" here of playing ANYTHING; it's just hard circumstances that kinda suck.
Id like to see chad and james start over and be better to and for each other.
I think theyd realize they missed out on a great friendship that can still be
Chad had a chip on his shoulder because James was faster than him. James just had raw speed
Plus when he was a rookie he used chad by letting him pass him and then passed him back a half a lap later to prove to everybody how fast he is... that would make me pretty chippy towards a guy as well
He is a racer after all, it's what makes it so entertaining, he hates losing just as much as james
Word competitive
@@fearnobeer9077 but JS7 never tried to take his fellow racers out if he wasn't fast enough... He sometimes hit other guys while crashing 😂 but never intentionally.
Chad on the other hand was guilty of intentionally taking out other guys (James on multiple occasions).
That's the difference between these two, and why I've always respected James as a racer.
@@pierceb2105 if your saying james never did a thought out cross track take down you need to rewatch some races, both awesome races i loved every minute of it
Stewart and Reeds battles on the track were epic. Add RC in there too
Where there is pride, there’s contention.
Stewart's pulled up at a track and the official at the gate said "We don't race N word's here" Big James replied,
Well that's a relief because we came here to race Motocross 🤙🏾🤙🏾
Best thing at the Monster energy Aus x was when the young lad won the mini bike overall he was asked who's ya favorite Pro racer and he said Chad Reed because he's Aboriginal like me !
I can't hardly believe that. Seems utterly ridiculous.
Must have been in Texas when that happened. Texas is a bunch of racist fuckfaces.
@@djjazzyjeff1232 It's very well known in Australia that Chad is of Aboriginal descent
I have to admit. I just got into motocross this year, I hated on gypsy but dude is right on! He's given me prospective on life that I wasn't expecting. I'm 38 dudes 32 and if you open your ears and mind you'll see what I mean. Keep it going homie and thank you!
Would love nothing more than seeing Chad and James having some beers while hanging out and watching SX or MX videos of them racing eachother over the years. They both need to be the men they are and get past all the old racing BS.. Both are millionaires from racing. They should just enjoy what they've both accomplished and laugh about all the crap they put eachother through over the years. Then have another beer.....
It is good to hear that Chad is not racist. I was one of the people who thought he probably was. My apologies. Truly.
he was pissed at him because james toyed with him on a 125
True! Good ole days!! Im glad that James moved on with his life and discovered what life is really abt... hes a fierce competitor, multi championship title holder... but even more than that hes a litle ones Daddy!
I had beef with a good friend of mine now back in highschool for no reason back in 98. He looked at me and I looked at him and we just hated each other. We fought at a party then after that we became cool. To this day we are really cool. Its weird how shit like that happens.
weird huh
the audio quality has come along way
Yeah I caught hell for bn a fan of James. But I knew minute I seen him race , complete on the verge of out of control but in control..and killn the competition, he's FN legendary. And it really really sucks he doesn't race anymore !!
would love to see Chad do a podcast he can talk on
Jarett G. Get him on yours 👍
@@joelbeatty6895 best mx podcast out there, Steve is the best.
@@GYPSYTALES mate learn how to take criticism. You need to improve your skills a lot. LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE LIKE
This is not a post race interview with "I like to thank sponsor this and that, and the shallow other things they say. Reed opens up and is finding words to expres his feelings. Whenever he's searching for words, the interviewer interupts. Steer the interview with subjects to talk about, but let the guest talk👍
I loved watching the battles between CR and JS. Don't get me wrong anyone racing at that level has talent. Chad just did not have as much raw talent. But he made up for it with race craft, hard work and an extremely competitive spirit. He had gut's to do things that he probably new was pushing beyond 100% just to follow JS. He's got my respect and kudos for bringing the battle to JS. Remember these guys were putting a lot on the line every time they raced. It's a very dangerous and competitive sport and that stress will weigh heavily on anyone and contort one's nature. I always said if JS just learned to reign it in just a bit and be more strategic he could have won a lot more. Anyways after watching CR's interview lately I have come to see he is a good guy and they all had respect for each other at some level.
Just think of the things you didnt see or hear about..................................... We miss you James. I hope youre happy.
Y’all know what Chad’s biggest problem was, he was the second fastest racer in the world for a decade. Wow, what I wouldn’t give to be that fast.
That’s a great way to put it . I think his fatal flaw was he was too young to dominate as early in the more classic riding style from the 90’s and just a bit out paced by the young guns coming up pushing the new speed in the 2ks.
James has had way to many concussions in his career than any football player out there. Kid use to race with all his heart and left it all on the line. JS7 is a rockstar, but paying the price.
Awesome racer top 3 easy....Can you say Bubba scrub? The inventor of what the kids can do today. Miss ya James!
My favorite racer because the man had zero regard for safety! Just fuckin twist the throttle and its either win or crash. But, that mentality also prevented him from being The GOAT. Was unbeatable at his best but was very seldom that he was due to injuries.
I feel like racism isn't in the "moto community" but fans depending where you are can be racist. Like a stadium of 30k people will have at least 100 idiot bigots. The "moto community" is people who work, live, race and have a passion or are true fans are mostly not racist. This is just my opinion and I live in Canada so I don't have that over hanging racism that the US seems to have. James was one of three idles i had growing up. Travis and Ricky were my others.
I agree mate.
Stewart when he turned pro was being flipped off and had people yelling racist things to him every time he came around the track outdoors for years
@@yamahakid450f
That happened to him his whole life Bro. He grew up racing in FL. Lots of Racism issues down there still esp back in late 80s early 90s being a Black family in a "White" sport.
I agree with you however James brought a ton of stuff on him. I took my son to the Seattle Supercross and had to buy a ticket to get in line to try and get an autograph. True story, we got our pic and signed poster but a few hundred did not. A bunch of people were not happy with that. Just a story of why In my own opinion he brought some of it on himself, not to say racist stuff does not happen but the animosity that seemed to follow him, James is one of---- if not the fastest rider on a 450 and was a ton of fun to watch.
@@chadgriffith6299 .. sorry to hear that happen to u and ur kid.. but I'd I've had the same thing happen to me with another rider.. can't take that so personal. I'm sure he had 101 things to do b4 that race. Limited time for everything.
i wish bubba will go racing again. i don't care what place he'll finish as long as chad and bubba are banging bars again.
Reed's anger got in his way Stewart was always having fun fact 😎
You guys have no idea what the Stewart family went through attending those MX and SX races.
Toby Bryant preeeetty sure we know what they went though. I’m sure it sucked.
Please tell us
Yes, he rode at the top of the pro level, elevated, and completely changed the way racers race, had his own show, it must have sucked 🤦♂️ I promise you, for the few pieces of 💩 that we’re out there, there were thousands that showed our respect ✊ for James....
Seeing how aggressive Chad was on track with James (compared to his races with Ricky) always made me wonder what the deal was between those two. Maybe it was that Chad believed he could truly race Ricky, but knew ultimately he could not beat James.
@@vincevegas8529 I only started riding and following the sport as Ricky came to the end of his career. The races I saw with Chad and James seemed to always a little extra spice coming from Chad.
Agreed….at JS7’s best he was unbeatable but due to his riding style which was “pin the throttle and either crash or win” he was always racing injured and it was very rare he was 100%.
I don’t know why Chad is lying cause he has started a lot of fights with James hell just watch some old races as well when James was minding his own biz after winning and Chad would come up and start shit.. also at one race Chad called James some names and rode off and James went back to the pits and was calling Chad out and ended up pushing his bike over.
Chad's 'wankerness' regarding Stewart was always one of the reasons I had hard time respecting him.
I never liked Chad, he was always came off as an arrogant prick to me. He also refused to sign my 5yr old cousin's hat when he saw him at a restaurant because it was a fox hat and he rode for thor, like cmon man the kid's 5yrs old, rides a 50 and idolizes you, like fuck off. I never really liked him before that and that was just too much for me.
Edit: correction it was the other way around, he had a Thor hat and Chad rode for Fox.
@@djjazzyjeff1232 I mean honestly I have always had the opposite experience, a lot of James being a wanker was off camera, and when I was like 5 or 6 and James was on 125 he had completely brushed me off when all I wanted was to say hi and good luck. My family stopped liking JS since then. Never had an issue with getting to meet CR so IDK. People look at the CR and JS rivalry at base level too much I feel.
@@ZeFluffyKnight Yea I could see that, but I never said James was a peach either though. Ricky on the other hand, that dude was and is a class act. Also was better than James and Chad without question in my opinion. James could go faster occasionally, but the amount of times he'd end up on the ground, it doesn't matter how fast you go if you aren't there at the end.
As Bilko said!! Stop ya shitty accent your Australian.. was a wanker in kurri and still a wanker today
@@SquidJuice8duece put yourself in his shoes, I wouldn't sign something for ever single person who asked me either.
Rivals always have a hard time with each other because they need it to beat each other when racing, after racing it stops as it did between Hannah and his rivals. James has even talked about his time racing and said that as soon as the helmet goes on he’s a different person and will do anything to win ( I can relate to that myself while racing at a far lower level than him ) it’s just life it’s nothing to do with who or what colour people are, it’s a rival in your sport !
2 Words 2 Describe Chad Reed Class Act.
dude whoever spit on big james literally deserves the worst
Part of it may have been that Chad wasn't the first guy to come along and people were saying "he's gonna smoke you". You have to realize that in America, in MOTO in America, racism is part of the fabric of the country and for people to see his talent it had to burn a lot of people up. That included people that he may have had to be around. I don't think it was Chad so much as what people may have "passed along" to him. Probably more untrue than true.
I think chad was just jealous of bubba because chad was or could never be as fast as James
No mate.
That's exactly right, I mean you could see it 100%.
He also just thought he could be at James level because he didn't see James better than him. He wouldn't do that to Ricky because he could never be Ricky but James was a better rider than Ricky he would tell you that.
In the end James got screwed by being suspended by the AMA, it pretty much stopped everything James was going to be which is the best rider in the world ever, someone didn't want that to happen.
@@bigGatster yes mate
@@reedgalbraith6508 haha no
Do you even watch supercross I think you really need to watch it again and accept how much pressure reed put on Stewart especially the 2009 season Stewart tried to compete with reed and it cost him dearly constantly
In my opinion chad is honest as you can find... what you see is what you get... there is no hidden agenda... I have had the chance to meet reedy and he is one of the most easy going and approachable guys ever... it's the same as Cru halliday in Australian superbikes, he has all the time in the world for his fans
When I saw the thumbnail i thought why is Theo Vaughn talking about this
Chad Reed put his hand around James neck like he was a lil boy. Never liked him after that.
There's a reason Bubba was coined "The fastest man on the planet". The entire SX fan base got totally hosed when they suspended him, and i don't blame him one bit for distancing himself from the powers that sanctioned him. It was total BS and tainted all events that followed, IMO. Pretty sure he would have won the title that year, and possibly the following year. Even look at the unprecedented lack of support that there was for Malcolm after he won the lights title. I haven't renewed my AMA membership ever since. Sorry. I don't support bigotry.
I agree with everything you said except with Malcolm’s situation. After he won the title he chose not to race outdoors for no reason, and it made it seem like the dude doesn’t want to put in the effort to race the whole year. Why hire a guy who doesn’t wanna race the whole year when you have other guys who have won titles and are willing to race anything for less money and less outside influences (big James)
Joshua Francisco , those are excellent points.
James was on his way out anyways. He slowed down a lot. The suspension was icing on the cake. Let the man be. He’s been busting ass since 6 yrs old. He made his millions. They make it sound like he’s disgusted with the sport. He’s straight chillin now livin the good life in Orlando retired.
Yeah that was dirty what they did to James, I haven't watched much SX since.
@@MrProCircus - "he chose not to race outdoors for no reason" that comment makes no sense whatsoever unless you have actual mind reading skills.
Yeah....time heals....
Without James Stewart supercross is not the same. Those were exciting years. The host with all the F bombs - chill.
It's kinda just Aussie. There's a tendency to say fuck and cunt a lot lol.
Right dudes a jackwagon
Ye fuckin bloody mofuckers
@VintageMXer I'm sorry, he'll tone it down and cater to your personal feelings next time.
Oh... wait... better idea, turn it off. No more swearing. Weird how that works, isn't it?
It’s hard to like chad after a lot of the shit he pulled with James.. take outs when he wasn’t even in the title chase, etc.. and I’m an Aussie.
Vegas 09” only way reed was to win other then James getting 5th overall that nite was to clean his clock on the long outside sweeper
To say that your not an Aussie

Your Delusional mate
Yeah I had retired from Motocross got my bronze watch,and had been missing it so I just didn't keep up with it any more but when I left it it was a big part of me,but on tv when I left Bubba was just having his first few 125 sx races and chad was not a super star yet,a few year later the tv was on and a supercross race was on,and guess who...I laughed and said Chad and Bubba still beating on each other.Nobody in this bar new I raced,and it was a few years like 5,and I could tell chad and Bubba had been in a personal war with each other,and even though I hadn't seen them race each other in a bunch of years could tell they were tormenting each other for a while just by the way they were racing each other for a few corners.That is agonizing,when u line up against anyone that u know is as good as u on any given day,so u know u have to be perfect and then some,know matter who u are and how good u are with putting the pressure behind u or off to the side for a time,that all changes when that rival is rubbing on your swing arm trying to get by.But that terrible I had know idea James Jr had to as a pro put up with that kind of shit...like the guys said,embarrassing...I will day this I was at a supercross,in 1989 in my home state and Damon Bradshaw thru his goggle to a fan,and this poor guy had four people two on either side of him pulling the goggle strap and choking him as he tried to keep his souvenir,I was appalled I lived 5 miles from that stadium and these were my people,not cool,not cool at all,I was like dudes just chill its goggles for god sakes,let it go,kinda ruin my whole day after i after I volunteered to flag and work as a course and safety work for these people....man I was pissed.thanks mates.
"like like like like like" - host
Even more respect for Reedy, the guy raced hard gives it everything, but still has a heart, people saying he was or is jealous of Stewart, seriously grow up, they’re was is a racers will to win, no one likes being beat, if you do you never made it to the pros. Reedy always shows respect, sometimes shit happens on a track, the best are defined by they’re rivals there nemesis in any sport with that you can never be great. There allot more here than what we are shown by media past and now, I don’t know what to make of JS nowadays the only thing as Reedy says seeing him with his kids and seeming s good dad, lest he has that, be great if James and him got on the golf course and talked about some of the battles they had over the years, they should be celebrated not degraded, those racers are the best racers as hard as they are at the time, if you kids want hate check out Massacare at Saddleback, Hannah still has no time for Howerton, they’re hard racing and then there’s hard racing, to me James and Reedy raced hard, times things got rough, but never like what happened between Hannah and Howerton. I hope James watch’s this and maybe remember the racing for what it was, not what he perceives through the media, he should know better than anyone the media and facts or lack of em for a story. Reed is genuine to me imo. Also to you guys that can’t seem to get past Reeds contribution, he did best RC and Stewart both in they’re prime for 2 SX championships and an outdoor title, few have done that. 85 those 3 dominated the SX season and were the only guys on 250 2t beating the cheating rest of the pack on 450s and most of the time beating them all badly. Fan of RC, Reedy and jS of that era. Hope the bridges can be mended seems something Reedy would like and it would be good for James I think.
I wish these guys would say what they want to. I feel like they won’t finish the sentence because they’re afraid of offending someone
I thought Chad was interviewing Gypsy T??
Lot's of talking but the truth is simple as my ass..
Stew was faster and he couldn't accept this.
Who played dirty on track was surely not Bubba, uh Chad.
Take it easy and face it one day..
@@paintbrush8743 do agree bro'
Factz
For sure
Bullshit.
Stewart was just kicking everybody off the Track. He never cared about other riders on the track and cause a ton of crashes because of that.
Reed was always jealous of James.
Damn I can't stand how everyone says "like" every other word
Not everyone needs to post pictures of themselves online to get attention 🙄..... Bubba is just chillin.

We don't need the announcement, the Dude is done. Horrible end ? Besides the Adderall thing ya maybe , but a lot of Motocross riders retire early or quit because of getting hurt. He just happened to be the most talented and talked about rider at the time. At the end of the day, we have no idea what Bubba really feels like and I personally think he is 100% fine with his career. He came, he conquered. Broke down the racial barriers at the same time. Can't take anything away from Him on that.
I can't blame him if he doesn't want to race anymore.
@@se11459 I agree, horrible end Even though it was somewhat self inflicted. Getting suspended for 13 months that late in his career was, imo, somewhat of a death sentence to his career. He was not the same when he came back.
James was so fast.
So f ing fast dude
Didn’t you rip this off from the original video.
Reed shows the world why England sent them all to prison at such a remote location.
are you12 years old?
@@stephenwilliams4583 Not hardly.
Stewart is faster
...was....
what happens on the track stays on the track
Moto is the cruelest sport of all and even the pros get thrown out with the trash but James should have gone out with more notice from the industry
I which he would come back and just race forget politics. And enjoy what he loved doing. MIA is not what we want from an awesome rider. Just race and have fun.
Robert Cyr dude let him go he’s retired and he earned it so just move on
I remember James was racing and his mom overheard some dumb ass racists commenting about james and his mom put an end to it. James was a fearce rider and am glad I got to see him rip.
Chad is just one of those "ain't gonna get beat by no niggra" types because he's Australian. We get it.
Bad blood because Reed was jealous of Stewart's speed.
Exactly Reed six dick
Yeah, but I bet it was more that he was jealous of the JS vs RC rivalry. They pushed each other to insane speeds and their rivalry was legendary because of it. Reed was close but far away, the king of the also-rans. If not for James it would’ve been a CR vs. RC narrative.
jeeeeeeesus. But like but like but like but like like like like like. Also the host should watch Sam Jones interviews because he needs to work on his skills
Stewart is the man
This was all about respect and James started it when he let Chad by in the 125cc class then re passed him😂 that would have crushed chads respect for him lol but that spice made for some of the best racing I ever seen 🏁👀❤️
Hater because the dude was so much faster than him.
I'm a Stewart fan because he's an American.Him being black has something to do with it but I always root for the Americans against the foreigners.Reed was fast and tenacious but Stewart was faster.
Jesus let the man talk. Does anyone else see the eerie resemblance of
Chad Reed, Chad Smith(RHCP) & Will Ferrel?
Its like they're pumping out clone after clone. Food for thought.
Chad Reed is and was a good guy.
I don't get to go to really any of the races, I'm just a casual fan. I ride Enduro or woods trails. I also live in the southeast U.S. Alabama specifically. All of my friends that know who James is think he's rad. Don't get me wrong, I dig Chad as well, but I'm a Stewart fan for sure. No racism here. It's a select few for sure. No one I know of has said anything negative about him.... And if I heard that talk, I would protest it for sure.
Much more than a select few, sadly.
I rekon you and james would end up best mates if he ever reaches out
Jealousy
Never cared much for Reed.🤧
and you're infinitely less relevant lol
bubba and his family broke down the "racial barrier" in moto x.
Exactly
Jeff Ward and Johnny O'Mara were BITTER rivals and didn't like each other when they raced. Today - great friends that socialize regularly.
Someday, Chad and James will be buds! There is life after racing.......
Jeff Dinkin nah fuck that i would never be friends with Reed
and so they are mate, well said
love chad had the best style and pace in his day... but hated his sulkiness. As an Aussie I felt embarrassed for. him sometimes
