No one can stay at the top forever. Stewie on a 125 was perhaps the most amazing rider ever. Ask a former pro who was racing 250cc in 2002-2004. The premier class 250 guys would go out of their way to watch the 125 motos/heats...just to see what Stewie would/could do. He changed the way people rode... Cant ever change that....
James was doin stuff on a 125 that guys on a 250 wouldn't even dream of, both indoors and outdoors! He took the sport to new levels, just didn't have the consistency of Ricky or Chad.
Stewart was doing stuff on a 125 that no one else could do but he just couldn’t do that on a 450. He could have competed with the 450’s on a 125 but all he did when he moved up was hurt himself, he just couldn’t handle the power and speed he got from a bigger bike
That or he’ll punch a James Stewart sized hole in the garage from crashing. Love James Stewart he’s inability to tame his speed hurt him more than it helped he should have won a lot more championships.
@@scottyd2262 lol I completely forget what I was originally talking about, but I must’ve been on some weird shit and was trying to purposely sound like a dumb ass 🤷🏻♂️
ya, its true. rc absolutely owned bubba in the races in 07. won every single race they were in together. even crashed out of the lead and ran him down to take it back
Time to settle the whole . . "Bubba was the fastest rider ever" . . . He was great, and after Carmichael retired, he was unquestionably the fastest rider on earth. Best ever? You tell me?. . . Stewart won 7 ama championships. Ricky Carmichael won 16 ama championships. James Stewart won 98 ama races. Ricky Carmichael won 162. Stewart and Carmichael raced several full seasons in the same class against each other in head to head competition, and in every single one of them Ricky Carmichael won the championship. They raced a total of 59 ama events against each other. Of those 59, Carmichael beat Stewart 39 times, and Stewart beat Carmichael 20 times. Carmichael retired from ama motocross after running 7 races in the 2007 motocross season against Stewart, winning all 7 events. (Carmichael crashed out of the lead in two of those races, and both times caught and passed Stewart to win both) . . . . . After carmichael retired stewart was easily the fastest rider on earth. Was he faster than Ricky Carmichael.......... no
Bryan Carpenter nahh he was the fastest and pushed Ricky to ride over his head as for titles yea Ricky had more cause he would take a second James was win or die... He could have checked up but in his new vids he put out he clearly says it wasnt championships for him it was wins and in the highest division of supercross James has more wins than Ricky
@@garrett3234 James raced for more years than RC did and Ricky still has 162 totals wins to Bubba's 116. RC also has 15 titles to Stewart's 6. Not only that, but RC absolutely crushed James outdoors in 2005 and 2006. James could not match his pace without crashing his brains out. James was all-out faster in Supercross, there's no doubt. But Ricky had him covered outdoors. He never even lost a race to Stewart in the 2007 Nationals when he was semi-retired!
@Deport 'em all he retired after 06 season. 2008 James Stewart won EVERY race and EVERY moto in motocross. But thanks for commenting on a 12 year old comment and demonstrating your ignorance with that name.
The backstory was Reed said if he could get a good start he’d beat Stewart. He didn’t get a good start so Stewart slowed down to let him pass to test Reeds theory. Reed was wrong
Pretty well I would say... One of only 2 men in the history of the sport to have a perfect 24-0 season, 3 premier class SX titles, pretty well, I would say.
Ok checked em'. Carmichael won the first 5 rounds of the 07, MX season and split motos with Stewart at the last one, but still won the over all. He was still dominating (although Stewart provided some good races). Carmichael retired because he dominated the sport for 10 years, there was nothing left to prove.
no, in 2005 when stewart moved up to the premier class he rode 450s just like everyone else and lost the championship every single year to ricky. as far as ricky retiring because he saw the writing on the wall, heres what the wall said: in carmichaels last season, he raced against stewart in 7 outdoor nationals. he beat him straight up all 7 times. 7 for 7, so ya dude, he was terrified lol.
As planned,Carmichael raced only a partial schedule in 2007.He would only race select events for TeamMakitaSuzuki while pursuing his new stock car career. Again,Carmichael continued to amaze and looked faster than ever, with threeSupercross wins and six OutdoorNationalChampionship wins(every race he entered).Carmichael capped his career with a winning performance at the XGames and a victory with TeamUSA at theMotocross ofNations
i mean even if you dont like stewart i mean cmon, always if you go to see a race of him he totally makes the race and gives everything he has. thats what i love about him
What you're saying is Chad couldn't get out of the way. BS! What Ricky proved is "when the going gets tough, run to another sport". Go to search and type "ricky carmichael vs james stewart". James did what Chad should have done if he had a sak.
There are critical moments in people's carees ...this was for CR..never beat JS in a clean fight after this. EVER. Always resorted to dirty tactics. MENTALLY DESTROYED.
Great opinion. Everybody has one, kind of like buttholes. You think you know everything, but you don't. Glad you saw the video, the legend will live forever.
anyone see sorbys pass on the first lap on chad rediculous check it out 2:06 he wheelies going up hill 2:07 he scrubs it goin farther and faster then chad
This was the most KICK ASS Move in the history of the sport. AWESOME James!!! It's only cool to be cockey when you can back it up, Stewart is the only one that can back it up. AWESOME!!
when bubba lets reed past .. i think reed has learnt his lesson, for example 2009 vegas supercross main.. bubba slows right down and looks at reed to let him past (just like in this video)... however reed doesnt go by ... waits and trys to take him out atleast reed try's something different this time hahahaha peace
dmenace you are a joke. RC killed stewart this year outdoors, and the year before, and the year before that. RC is not on a cheater bike, almost all of the bikes run the same fuel, so your boy bubba was probably running the same fuel. RC has nothing left to prove, MX is a tiring sport, so he feels its time to tame it down.
I woulda beat his sorry ass after the race, TOTAL disrespect, yeah you ( were) faster on 125s and in this race and EVERYONE knew it.. No need for James to demoralize anyone on the track,.. this is the race that turned me to pulling for Chad to Beat Bubba any way possible , and thanks to effort and hard work Reeds done it and still doin it.. James cant stand pressure because hes never had to deal with it, thats why he aint champ no more
@looper148... I'll see your one.. and I'll raise you 5 Pooper boy. Here's the deal POOPER # 148, I'll give you my prediction on the first 5 riders and you can give your 5... We'll see who's closest to getting them right. If everyone stays healthy then here's my prediction. Chad Reed closely followed by Ryan Dungey, Then Davi Millsaps, Ryan Villapoto and in 5th Brett Mettcalfe. Yeah that's right, ...RV to finish in 4th. in the series.
I disagree with Villapoto taking the championship... His obivously a hard worker however at this level of motocross it's really about being very focused and he's not demonstrated that yet. Yes, he's fast and Yes he can win a race... But can he win a Championship.... Hummm I don't think so not yet anyway. Plus you have Bubba and Ryan in good physical condition and they've already demonstrated a positive discipline to win a championship. It's either Babba or Ryan ... Sorry.
A tv program where R. Carmichael, Jeff Stanton, Jeremy Mcgrath, and other former championship riders were on this panel of experts riders and they made a prediction that Ryan Dungy was the man to beat in 2011. Bubba Stewart in my opinion has the most talent of the current batch of Motocrossers. If his conditioning is there.... Ryan is going down. Sorry Ryan... your a nice guy and a great talent.. but Bubba has been competing with the very best a long time and he's still a young man. LOOK OUT.
@dmenace259 JS is an exciting racer, but the races have been pretty exciting, even though the action has been the fights for 2nd, 3rd, & 4th. Alessi getting the holeshot consistently on the 350 shows that maybe 250 two strokes can make a comeback, since the AMA won't change the handicapped rules. Total BS. This weekend, Mike Leveait (sp) will attempt to qualify in a new 200:1 mix ration two stroke Yamaha YZ250. That's what I'll be looking for.
@dmenace259 RC went out on top. JS has no drive anymore. He's a quitter and will continue to injur himself because he takes too many risks. JS takes a LOTof risks. That's why he WAS faster in a few races, but still got beat by RC, but RC definitely was and is the better racer. JS is one wreck away from ending his career, not just his season. RC could have been even faster at the expense of riding carelessly, and at his point in his career, he had nothing left to prove. RC>JS
@dmenace259 I looked up your profile. I see why you like Stuart, because your African American and you can relate to him, thats fine. Just get the facts straight. I believe Bubba is a faster rider or atleast now. With his technique(scrubs) but he rides over his head causing him to be out with injury alot and misses out on Championships. Reed's won a SX and MX since RC has been gone. Stuart could of easily won them both if he wasn't injured.
Eeeasy boy. My point was not to tick off all the Bubba worshippers out there. My point was that he coulda/shoulda won several championships that he didn't because of riding over his head and crashing and, consequently, injuring himself for the season. Accidents do happen to everyone but he's had more spills than most. Factory teams don't like losing championships year after year while shelling out 5million/yr. on their star rider.
Stick around racing long enough and you'll see that being the fastest doesn't mean the best. Stewart is usually the fastest but against Ricky Carmichael he was rarely the best. His strongpoint is ironically his weakness: he always rides a little "over his head". He usually either wins or wrecks. I'm sure that's why Kawasaki dropped him--he kept screwing up the championships with stupid riding.
These guys aren't robots. Human error is a big thing when it comes to the holeshot, reaction time, and doing it right are what make it happen. Some people are naturally better, alessi is a holeshot machine, but, he can't hang with stewart the whole way threw a race. RC 85% of the time had a good start, somewhere in the top 7 usually, that was just good tech and being able to implement it time and again. Go talk to a drag racer and i imagine they'll tell a similair story. Do u actually ride?
@vanhalen515084 I'm just so over Stewart and his attitude towards racing. When the dude missed the nationals in 09 he came back in '10, crashed and got hurt, that'll happen again next year as well. If it wasn't for him being really thick, he'd be the 2nd winningest rider eva behind RC, but like I said, he's thick, so he won't.
@vanhalen515084 Fine him for being cocky? Wow, then every time a winner gets on the podium to say how much their sponsors help them-- or Chad Reed saying how much he accomplished on his own, they should be fined? Animation1111 is right, that is the sport, racers testing eachother, having fun. Kicking ass and taking names.
@dmenace259 Yeah, but reailty TV shows, and endorsements don't make you the greatest of all time. Consistency, overall wins and shampionships do. JS tries to be 10% faster than the rest and risks injury when he could be more consistent and healthy just by being 1% faster. He'll have a career ending injury or the next phenom will force him to retire early.
@dmenace259 What am I making up? What I said there was complete truth. Your just choosing favourites and its in your mind that Staurt is a superman. Go learn to ride yourself, instead of worring how good other people ride and who was better. People who know, know. Carmichael was the best end of storey.
@DELEONSKI2359 uhh well sir, considering dungey is the defending "champion", it would only make sense that hes "the man to beat" since he has the number one plate... thats why they said that, not that he ever deserved that #1 plate anyway...
@zipify Again! Carmichael quit the Supercross/Motocross seasons in 2007 due to car racing obligations. So it's not really included since RC didn't race the whole SX/MX '07' seasons. Yes he did win every title he raced a full season with Stuart.
here can every hater of Bubba see how dominant he is!125 against 250...and he destroyed him..reed is good...but Bubba is god of dirtbike sport!!hes been my idol from when he vwas on 80ccm!!
@GoonRider919 watched every race... and i watched Villopoto win the whole thing... Not saying james sucks... i love James. But to say nobody can beat James is stupid when he just lost to Villopoto. Also, Carmichael anybody?
@looper148 Grown - up stuff huh?? Humm. when your not taunting me about your boy RV, you now want to bring in your day job washing toilets at the local McDonald's and it's all grown up stuff huh? oooook.
Ya RC clock was cleaned alright,Bubbas outta control ass landed on RC at unadilla,carmicheal learned to control at that speed. James still hasn't learned. Better prey he dont hurt himself again this season outdoors.
"RC tried to jack with James and James cleaned his clock." Supremely ignorant statements of this nature are almost amusing. Stewart "cleaned Ricky Carmichael's clock" ??? Somebody missed something here...
@vanhalen515084 Reed is only winning outdoors because Stewart isn't in. Stewarts working on practicing for next supercross season. Who would fine him for that. That's the sport, they test each other.
@dmenace259 There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity. RC didn't cross that and ended his career the greatest of all time. He was much smarter racer. JS will end his career injured.
k just stop with the bike stuff its not true how did he run away? he's been pro 4 ten years and he'd like to do stock car? and wow i can see by ur other comments that u r filled with a lot of rage.
yamaharideryz125,yea reeds on fire,but trust me ,when he looses acouple races hell show his true colors and cry!,the racing is good hope james can get that yzf dialed,reed is fast!
It's too bad he can't go 2 races without injuring himself. Good riding is being the on brink of crashing. James just crosses that line a little too much.
maybe so but wouldn't that make him the tool that COMPLETELY DEMORALIZED reed in that moto & showed everyone that he was the fastest rider on the track ?
@dmenace259 He stopped racing the SX season halfway through because he had car racing obligations. People that don't relise how good Carmichael was are blind.
haha the race last week end was bad ass i dont like em that much but he was kicking ass!!!! passed james right up no mistakes or any thing he was just faster!!!
2 perfect seasons? Lapping the entire field? I love James but RC is the GOAT. RC admits James was faster but he was not smarter at race craft At least not at that point of his career.
This was one of the most savage disses in sports period

James Stewart has a new interview as of 4-5-2019 and talks about how it was mean to slow down and then OWN him again! JS7 for the win!!

smelled so good!!!
back in the days when motocross was still awesome to watch
for any people who like reed more than stewart, this is the video 4 you
Lol Facts
Didn’t know you had to like the fastest rider on the track the most
Still like Reed better as a rider and a competitor.

Gotta admit, that was pretty ballsy but he knew Reed had nothing for him.
It wasn't even a battle it was more like here Chad go on by me I'll still smoke you anyways.

that was rude. lol
Lets Reed Pass at 2:31
Takes back the lead at 3:00
JS7 Was on another level. Period.
Only RC had him beat.
the interview on the beginning is epic :D
ya, its true. rc absolutely owned bubba in the races in 07. won every single race they were in together. even crashed out of the lead and ran him down to take it back
sounds like a swarm of wasps and bees at the start....I love it!!!
Best motorcycle rider period
Bahahahaha
Ricky? Jeremy? Travis?
Time to settle the whole . . "Bubba was the fastest rider ever" . . . He was great, and after Carmichael retired, he was unquestionably the fastest rider on earth. Best ever? You tell me?. . . Stewart won 7 ama championships. Ricky Carmichael won 16 ama championships. James Stewart won 98 ama races. Ricky Carmichael won 162. Stewart and Carmichael raced several full seasons in the same class against each other in head to head competition, and in every single one of them Ricky Carmichael won the championship. They raced a total of 59 ama events against each other. Of those 59, Carmichael beat Stewart 39 times, and Stewart beat Carmichael 20 times. Carmichael retired from ama motocross after running 7 races in the 2007 motocross season against Stewart, winning all 7 events. (Carmichael crashed out of the lead in two of those races, and both times caught and passed Stewart to win both) . . . . . After carmichael retired stewart was easily the fastest rider on earth. Was he faster than Ricky Carmichael.......... no
Bryan Carpenter nahh he was the fastest and pushed Ricky to ride over his head as for titles yea Ricky had more cause he would take a second James was win or die... He could have checked up but in his new vids he put out he clearly says it wasnt championships for him it was wins and in the highest division of supercross James has more wins than Ricky

Im so happy this happend,,this was the beginning of their rivalry....and all the epic battles they have
Just torched his ass lol woke up thinking ab this and had to come back To see one of the coldest things I’ve ever seen in any sport 😂
its ok, this is the sort of thing carmichael used to do to stewart in the 07 outdoors. no biggie, 2 can play that game.
LOL...I remember this. It was friggin awesome. Those 125 days of Stewart were something special. I wonder if the team got mad at him.
That's how you shut your rival up. Slow up and pass him on a cheater bike!
Pretty well I would say... One of only 2 men in the history of the sport to have a perfect 24-0 season, 3 premier class SX titles, pretty well, I would say.
Yo this brings back so many memories I love this shit Stewart is a savage letting reed pass just so he can pass him back epic
bubba was awesomely fast, but in that last season rc just ripped holes in the space time continuum
Ok checked em'. Carmichael won the first 5 rounds of the 07, MX season and split motos with Stewart at the last one, but still won the over all.

i mean even if you dont like stewart i mean cmon, always if you go to see a race of him he totally makes the race and gives everything he has. thats what i love about him
For sure, the mini back flip made everyone get on there feet.
Damn "what a cruel rookie"...lol
I was there. =] STL Baby.
I was too. Travis stole the show, though. I wish he'd made it to the main.
Big ol slice of humble pie for Reed

He proved hope, discipline and f it. The hardest combination to believe in yourself. You might get two of them but all three is the hardest.

Wow, then every time a winner gets on the podium to say how much their sponsors help them-- or Chad Reed saying how much he accomplished on his own, they should be fined? Animation1111 is right, that is the sport, racers testing eachother, having fun. Kicking ass and taking names.
@dmenace259
Yeah, but reailty TV shows, and endorsements don't make you the greatest of all time. Consistency, overall wins and shampionships do. JS tries to be 10% faster than the rest and risks injury when he could be more consistent and healthy just by being 1% faster. He'll have a career ending injury or the next phenom will force him to retire early.
@dmenace259 What am I making up? What I said there was complete truth. Your just choosing favourites and its in your mind that Staurt is a superman. Go learn to ride yourself, instead of worring how good other people ride and who was better. People who know, know. Carmichael was the best end of storey.
@DELEONSKI2359 uhh well sir, considering dungey is the defending "champion", it would only make sense that hes "the man to beat" since he has the number one plate... thats why they said that, not that he ever deserved that #1 plate anyway...
@zipify Again! Carmichael quit the Supercross/Motocross seasons in 2007 due to car racing obligations. So it's not really included since RC didn't race the whole SX/MX '07' seasons. Yes he did win every title he raced a full season with Stuart.
here can every hater of Bubba see how dominant he is!125 against 250...and he destroyed him..reed is good...but Bubba is god of dirtbike sport!!hes been my idol from when he vwas on 80ccm!!
@GoonRider919 watched every race... and i watched Villopoto win the whole thing... Not saying james sucks... i love James. But to say nobody can beat James is stupid when he just lost to Villopoto. Also, Carmichael anybody?
@looper148 Grown - up stuff huh?? Humm. when your not taunting me about your boy RV, you now want to bring in your day job washing toilets at the local McDonald's and it's all grown up stuff huh? oooook.
Ya RC clock was cleaned alright,Bubbas outta control ass landed on RC at unadilla,carmicheal learned to control at that speed. James still hasn't learned. Better prey he dont hurt himself again this season outdoors.
"RC tried to jack with James and James cleaned his clock." Supremely ignorant statements of this nature are almost amusing. Stewart "cleaned Ricky Carmichael's clock" ??? Somebody missed something here...
@vanhalen515084 Reed is only winning outdoors because Stewart isn't in. Stewarts working on practicing for next supercross season. Who would fine him for that. That's the sport, they test each other.
@dmenace259
There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity. RC didn't cross that and ended his career the greatest of all time. He was much smarter racer. JS will end his career injured.
k just stop with the bike stuff its not true
how did he run away? he's been pro 4 ten years and he'd like to do stock car?
and wow i can see by ur other comments that u r filled with a lot of rage.
Don't get mad. Ha! I think Ricky Carmichael has a lot more respect for James Stewart than you do. Later.
yamaharideryz125,yea reeds on fire,but trust me ,when he looses acouple races hell show his true colors and cry!,the racing is good hope james can get that yzf dialed,reed is fast!
It's too bad he can't go 2 races without injuring himself.
Good riding is being the on brink of crashing. James just crosses that line a little too much.
maybe so but wouldn't that make him the tool that COMPLETELY DEMORALIZED reed in that moto & showed everyone that he was the fastest rider on the track ?
@dmenace259 He stopped racing the SX season halfway through because he had car racing obligations. People that don't relise how good Carmichael was are blind.
haha the race last week end was bad ass i dont like em that much but he was kicking ass!!!! passed james right up no mistakes or any thing he was just faster!!!
Carmicheal never gave him the lead and took it back.
This event is still bigger known than anything RC ever did.
RC 15 titles JS how many?? enough said
ENDO PAYNE TV I disagree. RC lapped the entire field. James never did that.
2 perfect seasons? Lapping the entire field? I love James but RC is the GOAT. RC admits James was faster but he was not smarter at race craft At least not at that point of his career.
Haha this guys a knob.
How about winning every moto twice, or maybe lapping the entire field.
two strokes RULE! I'd rather hear my bike screamin around the track than have it sound like a wet fart ( 4 stroke)
i agree with you 100%, thats exactly what im always saying lol. kinda like the tortoise and the hare story lol know what im talking about?
@Dark34ful So what you're saying is that Villopoto passed all the guys that Dungey lapped?? Hmm yeah your right Dungey is horrible...
@puremutt Yep he's always out with injury. He would of won against reed in the moto/sx recently but he always crashing.
And this is why Reed never liked Bubba since. Reed later would always try and take Stewart out when he had the opportunity.
James Stewart vs. Chad Reed, est. 2002- hahaha it makes that last lap turn/takeout in ATL look that much dirtier....
Lol, that's Davey Coombs announcing. His voice is distinct.
5:47
1st scrub whip recorded in history
that early yamaha 250 4 stroke sucked ass. Id much rather be on a 2 stroke screamer like js. funny vid tho.
He hates this track on 450's now
Reed Chad let him past and let him win the first moto cause stewart paid him 5k before the race.
Stewart has OWNED reed for ever LMAO
Stewart can go out and do this to reed any time he wants
@dmenace259 as good as he is i find it better to watch without him theres actually compatition now
