the 450s are a clear advantage outdoors. Not to mention they are given an unfair advantage in displacement . But hey, I own both and love both, just wish the AMA made the rules fair so the privateers would be able to race for less.
juicyearl True fact there. My Dad rides a 450 himself and I ride it on occasion; I own a 250F myself and I seem to have a bit of a hard time riding it, but I do have a good advantage on it.
The norm is 250 2-strokes in Supercross, 450 4-strokes in Motocross. If you're talking about Carmichael, that was because Suzuki was developing their 450 with Tortelli riding it in Supercross. Stewart was never on a 450 until 2006 because Kawasaki didn't have their 450 ready.
@@MathewVsSportsMediaandGames I was gonna say I coulda swore ricky was on a 450 in the outdoors but won the 250 class on a rm250 in the indoors. Wish it was still a battle these days. Ya know?
Well, you were right -- Ricky was on a 450 in Motocross (having rode a Honda 450 in 2004 MX). It wasn't until the following year (2006) that 450s took over the premier class -- a move that I NEVER thought would happen. I suppose that began when Stewart jumped on his new KX450F for 2006. It's hard to believe that the following year, only McGrath, Vuillemin, and Brown were on 250 2-strokes until both MC and DV jumped up to 450s at A2 2006 while Brown stayed on his privateer Rockstar Suzuki RM250 all throughout Supercross.
@@rgufghloiufc836 Uh-huh. The rain pretty much made that showdown between the elite 4 to wait until Phoenix, only for James Stewart to crash in practice and break an arm.
God the jerseys, the bikes, the stadium. So much nostalgia. Feels like I’m 10 years old playing MX unleashed again lmao
No disagreements on the nostalgia and playing MX Unleashed again. :)
3:57 Stewart is a class act. I don’t think he’s ever had anything bad to say about another rider
Amazingly, I have noticed that.
Bubba de best
I am 50-50 on that -- especially when Stewart was a 250cc rookie at this time.
Reed, Carmichael, McGrath, Windham and Stewart. What else could you ask for?
Yeah -- all that star power, and Windham won the opening round while Reed struggled to a 16th and McGrath a 20th.
Lets not forget Travis!
And pastrana, laracco, etc etc just the best
the ONLY race a 450 won that year
Supercross-wise you are right on that; the Outdoor Nationals were a totally different story with RC taking all 12 overalls again (and 22 of 24 motos)

why did he ride 450 in moto and 250 in super?

+7INCHES of RAIN !

James has to fake drink the Red Bull three times every interview to get his commission check… what a joke….
Somehow, I don't think Stewart fake drank the Red Bull. It's clearly water in his bottle.
Quality is so bad may as well take this down
This video sure as hell isn't going anywhere, buddy boy.
