Man, they needed more press leading up that that. The place looked pretty empty. Gotta get more internet buzz.

If they do an East Coast/Southern ride day they should look at somewhere in the Charlotte, NC area, or not to far from it. That's a pretty central locatioin and Districts 29 and 13 are big moto districts. They could also invite JGR out as well.

I made it up there for the ride day, didn't ride. DAMN it was HOT.

I was very appreciative of the free waters.

It was cool. James showed up about 4:30 all smiles. Mingled with a few fans and did a few pics and autographs.

We stayed around and watched an hour or so of James riding with everyone. Talked to a few kids that rode with him. They were thrilled.

I'm pretty sure that was the sign-up line and not the autograph line.
Stewart rolled up behind me on the line before practice and I got to chat with him. Then he rode behind me for about half a lap. The best part is I got it all on on helmet cam!

I thought there would be a bigger turnout, but I think the 100+ degree heat really hurt.

There was a ton of riders though. Track was packed.

That looks like a blast.

You gotta love the sound of a two-stroke wound up like that.
He is one of those riders that can really squeeze every ounce of horsepower out of a smoker.

Also, didn't James say that he doesn't really like that track (in a past interview)?

I would say Birch Creek in Danville, Va., but that'a a hike for people in GA.

Yeah that was the registration signup line. The autograph session was more a herd of people than a line.


It was good times and judging by Stewarts attitude, i'd say he had a good time. I saw him picking up the mini's if they crashed and he did a couple these:


It was H O T as hell though.

Was that a Pro- Circuit pipe? Are we looking at a two stroke for X games and US open? Yeah 125 would be nice, but he rides that 250 like 125 and it sounds good done up!!

There's no way in hell he doesn't like riding Monster. You're just making shit up to score a jersey too.

There was a nice little story about it in the Dallas Morning News:

Supercross champion gives back to his fans

06:37 PM CDT on Sunday, July 26, 2009

By DANIEL SANCHEZ / The Dallas Morning News
dsanchez@dallasnews.com

ALVORD – James "Bubba" Stewart Jr., the reigning Supercross champion, thanked his fans in a meaningful way Saturday. He gave fans a chance to ride with him.

"I know a lot of these young kids will remember this for the rest of their life," Stewart said.

Plenty of fans turned out at Oak Hill Motocross Park. There were some from Oklahoma. Mitchell Thelen, a 23-year-old from Marshall, drove 3 ½ hours to the event and was passed by Stewart on the race track.

"Being able to ride with your sport's top athlete, it's like being able to swim with Michael Phelps," Rex Haber of Dallas said. He comes from a racing family, and even his mother rides.

Fans such as Aaron Young and Preston Hobbs came to see Stewart even though they couldn't ride with him. Young, a 15-year-old from Fort Worth, broke his left arm racing at Buffalo Creek last weekend. Hobbs broke his right leg in May.
