Shane Wilkerson I feel it coming. Time to bust out the ol 259 KX125 again
Yo the Cam has been found on comments😀😱
Cam wat u think about E-Bikes?
xXISLANDBOY25Xx .xXISLANDBOY25Xx lame
just hearing him say hell be around the sport just made my love for mx/sx come back!!! glad to see him around a track.
One of the greatest joys of my 48 yrs of life. Was watching you ride. Thanks for the memories champion!
125 all star nationals and Redbull straight rythm 2020 come on mannnnn :D
Bubba on a 125... soooooo many fond memories of watching that combo.
Nice to see Bubba with a huge smile in his face.
tide macedo alexandrina they called him the million dollar smile cause that’s all he does is smile.
Being a big fan of James and Chad, that was the coolest part to me, to see maybe they put all that behind them and realize they were part of something great !
Yes! Loving the last part, and hearing that James is getting the itch to ride and be around the sport, we need you back James! Thanks RM for putting this interview together.
We ALL want him back!!
Did everyone hear him say the itch to ride again 😁
You guys have no idea how happy it makes me to see him just speak. Thank you for this ❤🤘🏻
Best news of 2019 I knew one day he would miss it and he would be back just his presence in the sport is a big deal would be awesome just seeing him at the races or to actually do some one off races would be amazing .
I was wondering I mean everyone here knows mx is in the blood! So surely he has to come back around but he sure made it feel like he hated it being MIA from everything
Even if he shows up to these events and gets last its cool just to see him around you know? like villopoto? He just shows up to have fun and its sick to see that! Retirement doesn't mean you have to quit riding. Just means you get away from the Corporate Lime lite.
He definitely changed the sport in so many ways.. And Inspired a LOT of people along the way..
Clutch_Luck how???
@@gobigorgohomeproductions458 You're joking right??
@@gobigorgohomeproductions458 for one he invented the scrub
Toasty tha bubba scrub...
Damn he’s gained some weight. Must be eating at Ricky’s house.
mark blankenship 🤣😭
He looks happy and healthy!
Now that made me laugh! comes with getting old and having kids!
as a dude his age... I can verify that the weight is easier to gain, and harder to lose haha.
@@michaelj2091 Who's Martha?
Welcome back James, we missed you!
As a racing fan, this is so awesome to hear. Glad to see he has his love for the sport coming back 🤘
Looking good James. Glad to see you are still involved in the best sport on earth. You raised the bar, so you’ve given the up and coming riders something to strive for. You’ll always be a great rider.
I cannot wait to see him back riding again
“Be out again” OMG 😳 I will fly to whatever track or whatever to see him ride again. 125 all start will be bigger than the main event if James showed up. Drop the mic 🎤
Love this guy, defines mx. I doubt he will be rivaled in my lifetime, the way he blew the entire field away as a 16 year old. 10 years later he still dropped jaws. Great spokesman as well.
Best thing I've heard in a while! "You'll see me around more."
Imagine being at a Supercross and during the pre race show they drop the spot light and this dude is sitting on a two stroke for a hot lap. 🤘🏻✊🏻
You Ricky and Chad were the best ! You guys took it to the next level of competitiveness that will be hard to match .
Happy to hear that JS7 and CR22 think the same about each other now.... they (with RC4) upped their game so much against each other at the time, that they showed one of the most amazing SX era for us the fans... sometimes these 3 lapped the whole field...!!! That's domination!!
Like competitive boxers who show the uttermost respect and hug each other after the last ding of a fight... time has come to bury the hatchet... Go golfing together guys....!!
Can I be the fourth of your foursome when that happen..??? ;)
Agreed!
Reed sucks
Agreed..From France. I was a huge #259 JS7 fan and this Era with James,Chad,Ricky, David Vuillemin(🇫🇷) in fourth or fifth far away behind these Monster..Great memories 2003-4-5-6-8-...🔥💪💪💪
Reed almost always did something bad whenever he got close stewart. I think he just knew he will get smoked everytime. Got smoked by RC, and JS.
There is no rivalry between chad reed and james bubba stewart.James bubba stewart jr smoked chad reed 99.9% times.
James beat him straight up most of the time, but Chad rode smart and kept it consistent. Racing isn't always about being the fastest, but also knowing when to taper it off and get the points. That's what Dungey did well too.
JS7 fan here by the way. He'll always be my fav rider of all time.
@@pierceb2105 That was Stewart's only weakness, staying on the bike at high speeds
Reed always got smoked whenever james or rc was around and healthy.
Byshop Williams yes he hated not wining. But that is what made him great to watch always quading shit that shouldn’t be quaded.
@@abet317l.3 lol me and my buddies called him 3rd Place Reed. He may have been more consistent and sustained less injuries , But if James and Ricky showed on on the same day and were healthy, Reed didn't stand a chance at being #1 that day.
Good to see you out and about man. Hope your good.
James. You didn’t have a piece of it,, you invented it!!!!!! LONG LIVE THE REAL KING JAMES!!!
Good to see the updates of the Great Motocross fastest lap times J. Bubba S7 and his kiddo. Ride to enjoy, stay fast to pass it on to your kiddo.
James is this every finds you just know that the moto family misses you! I had always been a die hard CR22 fan so growing up I hated you! 😂🤷♂️ but boy this sport is not the same without you and it’s such a damn good feeling to finally see these videos getting pushed out about the truth and how you feel and future plans! You’re a legend! #JS7
JS7👑.....the only 7 anyone will Ever Remember!
Diggs72 Aaron plessinger on the come up just watch 💪🏽
"NOT " Diggs72 .........................WE ORIGINAL old school Moto Cross Racers #7 was
"BAD" BRAD LACKEY" some 45 years before . A SUPERSTAR . IT WAS HIM THAT BEAT THE EUROS AND PROVED to the world WE AMERICANS WERE GOING TO BE AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER THEN THE 'O.G.s OF THE SPORT. YES THIS WAS WHEN MOTO WAS JUST STARTING to grow IN THE USA. he wore a 7 with a slash across IT in the middle.of the number ON HIS NUMBER PLATE!!!!.
in 1971 Imyself raced a JT1 YAMAHA MINI ENDURO 60 cc, mini cycle AN 11 YR OLD KID THAT RODE AND RACED ALMOST 50 YRS.
I want to see stew race the 125 all star class!
God that 125 wouldn't make it a lap before blowing up he has got to be what 220lbs or more.
I became a fan of MX/SX during the days of Bob Hannah and others. Was away from it for a while, but started following it again and saw this kid on a KX125, #259. James Stewart blew me away. So fast, just so fast!
I miss watching him and Ricky go at it. Absolutely incredible riders!
Pls do some of the 125 all star races!!! It would be so sick to see #259 ripping on a old factory kawi 125! 🙏 But you gotta eat some chicken and brocceli for awhile😅
This guys incredible the opportunity he gives young riders to train and give them the chance to compete on his property just adds to his legacy he’s gonna produce a future champion... write that down
Thanks #RockyMountainATV makes me feel good about buying from you. Your support for Baggett, this video, as well as the Troy Lee and Seven shirts I got today within 3 days of ordering. I salute you!
Thanks, Howard! Thank you for supporting us!
He seems so happy and I'm happy for him, I look forward to seeing him and Chad become friends the way Chad and Ricky are friends.
The sport needs you homie !
Damn I missed this dude. I hope we get to see him around moto some more in the future
oof, hearing him say "Old people like myself" hurts my older than his heart... Glad to see he seems to be doing pretty well for himself.
He retired very very young. He isnt 30 yet i dont think. He is projecting much more age and much more career then he actually has/had. Love the gear, loved watching him....but the fim did their dirt to him and he wasnt done. He shouldve made the comeback....kenny did.
@@hondaman3317 he'll be 34 in 2 weeks
@@SquidWithGear shows how old i am. Well shit. Sorry.
James Stewart, Chad Reed, Ricky Carmichael final parade lap all together! Can we make this happen?
You left out McGrath!
@@kinghulk4142 yep, get Fro out there too.
masters division! or like a PPV event
Gotta love our legend James Stewart
JS7... DA MAN!!! 💪🏼💪🏼👍🏼🥇
The locs are catching up to Mookie's lol..
JS7 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🐐
Would be cool to see JS in the 125 all stars against RV, RD, CR, MC and RC!!!!! Oh and get Brownie in there too
A true legend JS7
humble brag of him shooting in the 70s haha love that
That smile in contagious, or I’m just happy to see you living good. 😭😭😭🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
It’s nice to see his attitude has changed since the “retirement” vid awhile back can’t wait to see him ride again
Much like a soldier back from war, I feel he suffers from a little PTSD from all the super high risk and expectations he had to deal with. If you've never raced at a high level you probably don't know what I'm saying. Now that he's had some time to decompress, i think his passion will re-ignite and maybe he will do a little of what Villopoto is doing. Any manufacturer would be lucky to have him as a brand ambassador or spokesman. We will always have Toronto 2014!
I have goose bumps. Villo better watch out 125 cc race just got heated !!!! And I'm pretty sure James was a red bull guy. So he's gotta hit the straight track soon too!!!!!
Can’t wait to see at what capacity Bubba comes to MX//SX.
Fantastic News !!
God bless you James. Hope you and the family are doing well.
Miss you riding bro but happy for you to move on to the next phase of your life. All the best JS7.. Forever a fan..
Such a Class Act, love you man
Can't wait to see what the future of @JS7 holds
Come on back Stew ! We all miss you man!
Bubba changed the game man..riding is completely different now
JS7 2020 Red Bull Straight Rhythm!!!
I absolutely love James Stewart, genuinely a nice guy, thanks for all the years of amazing racing. Read said it himself fastest guy to ever throw a leg over a dirtbike.
Miss JS7!!!
That was a great interview with excellent questions! He seems at peace with the sport, happy about that, Stew made a gigantic part of what mx/sx is today. Cant denie he canged the way a bike is rode in sport.
Welcome back James !
The sport misses you! You would definitely make a better announcer than Ricky! 😂 Hope to see you on the West Coast! Congrats on the family life!
Glad to see james is happy
Can we please get him into a 125 dream race?
Such a good guy cant wait to see his face back around the track and bikes definitely A goat in his own way.
Sick! This video just made my day.
Damn that was sick.
Last guy to ride 2 strokes!! Bubba rode the 125 2t in 2004 and the 250 2t in 2005.
the bestt legendd
Glad to see you smiling and excited about Seven and plans to go to some races again. And your boy is getting big. Aka Glenn Somerville #798 aka Thrill Seeker #Thrill Seeking Threads
I really like the seven gear annex yeah . We miss you bubba you were crazy out there
That's my dude Glad to see him
#JS7FANFORLIFE
The respect for Chad was cool
Thanks for the entertainment, James , !!!!!!!!!
I want James to ride again so much
Better interview than his retirement series imo
James influence is forever
Come on James, just say that none of these new guys ride like you, All out!!!!!!
one of only a few game changers in sx/mx...living legend.respect!!
I would enjoy seeing Bubba doing some free riding up in the hills or on the dunes, sending huge jumps, having fun
A shame how the industry did him towards the end..smh
He did it to himself!
He had the industry by the BALLS, he chose his route bud
@@sherb118 no he didn't. He basically got blackballed.
Wow! The golf games on! 😂☺️👍🏻👏🏻
I'd like to see you support your brother more. Maybe im I'm wrong but seems like Malcolm has been on his own minus his dad being there for him. Seems like you could be way more involved with his racing career. He's got mad talent too.
The best ever!
It`s all good they gave Ricky`s number to Blake Baggett and so on also didn`t Kevin Windams number get taken too?
Yep Cole took Kdub's #14, Webb got RV's number too.
If they're not using them, they need to hand em over.
A hero from the best era of mx/sx... if you never seen him operate a 125 in nationals look it up. Some of the sickest shit iver ever seen. Super stoked i saw this video hell yeah bubba
I bet even though he has gained some weight he could still win races.
SX, MX just isnt the same without him
Good to see reed and Stewart play that game of golf today!
DA GOAT
James, dought you'll see this but I'm glad you're doing well, Pease brother.
The nike 6.0 boot 😍🥵🥵 I would rock it any day of the week. Seeing a pair in person - added to the bucket list
GOAT
They definitely need to retire his number from the sport. They'll never be another guy like him and what he did with & to the sport. JS7 for life•JS7 for ever.
What did he do???? Lol chad Reed is still out there racing and like 5 years older
@@gobigorgohomeproductions458 bubba scrub alone was a game changer.
With your logic, then #4 should be retired too right?
@@dadlife8289 ......but the subject & video is not about anybody else or another number. Correct?... so why bring that up?.... smh, can We just give James Stewart his time and light to be great. Without trying to subject his moment with other people.
If you care about number 4 then go to his videos and give supportive comments and enjoy his moments. Otherwise nobody cares about or thinking about other riders if the video is only about one person.
And Logically speaking, no it's not the same. They both accomplished alot of great things, yes... But especially in a sport that was against JS7 for the color of his skin. Dealing with all the hatred, people spitting at you at events, even being spit at from people on the sidelines while he was racing as he went by! And then change the sport, techniques, and still win at supercross.... So Logically, Iets just give this man his moments and place in history. Because its alot of racist shit that went on that the sport doesn't talk about now adays or ever mentioned. That's why JS7 gets so much respect from other "numbers" and "the people" because they truly know how it was for him and his family.
@@gobigorgohomeproductions458 .....okay but let's not act as if this sport wasn't against him because the color of his skin. See the sport doesn't mention that. They won't talk about that. But that's why JS7 gets so much respect from so many other riders and the MX community. Because they know how it truly was for him and his family.
The sport wasn't designed or to be in favor of JS7. Let's be honest, the sport was designed and supportive of whites. Dealing with all the hatred, racism, calling him the N-word and people literally spitting at you at events. You dont think that would impact someone's mental health & love for a sport?.... the sport was designed for people like Chad. Not JS7. So yes, it's no suprise that Reed is still racing. But for JS7 to still kill it, change the sport, techniques, still give those that the sport was designed for hell, and still win events. Bro you'll have to be a straight fool to not understand that the game has always been rigged for him. But he still managed to make history thru all the bullshiitt.... That's like saying putting a nascar into a race that was designed for Formula1 cars. And not realizing that the race, the entire estate and its supporters/sponsors were not designed for the nascar to have a fighting chance. So yes Reed is one of the American image of mx, you think they wanted JS7 to ever be the image of the sport. Let's remember who owns all these sponsors. Let's not forget just about every monster model girl is a white women. Let's not 4get the people who owns & funds the USA mx sport and what they look like. You think they look like JS7.??... exactly. Let's be real about our sport bro.
Greatest of All-Time
C'mon Stew, if not a farewell race or promotional event such as AS/RBSR/MEC, you can make some UA-cam videos while riding at home, whipping, scrubbing and showing latest lines of your brand.
miss seeing his cheeky face in the sport!
🐐
It's all good.
