It was an innocuous email from our friends at San Manuel Yamaha. James Stewart was coming to New York City to shoot some promos for his show "Bubba's World" on Fuel TV and did we want a little one-on-one time with the two-wheeled hero? Of course we jumped at the chance. We spoke to James about a number of topics, from two-strokes to neck braces, and although it was fairly quick, we found the champion to be laid-back, relaxed and easy to relate to. We hope you find it as insightful as we did. James Stewart on Racing: MXN: When are we going to see you riding again, how is your health? JAMES STEWART: The health is coming back, it's tough you know with this injury…I've never really broken a navicular before but I guess it takes a while and I'm just trying to be careful to come back and hopefully by the end of the Supercross Series. If not, maybe the outdoors if we get everything lined up. MXN: Now that's our next question, are you going to make a commitment to ride the outdoors? JAMES STEWART: Well you know I think it's more about budgets, and (to) see if we can work everything to work it out. Yes, I mean I would like to ride them. I think maybe there might be a good chance this year over last year, because the Supercross Series has been, well not cancelled, but out for me, so we're working on it right now and I think there is a strong chance that we might go racing but there hasn't been any official announcement that yes we're in or not, and we're still waiting on a couple of things, but it looks good. MXN: Would you like to ride the outdoors if given a chance? JAMES STEWART: Yes, I definitely would. Last time I raced the outdoors I went 24-0, I don't expect to do that again, but I think I could be up there and let's see where I'm at… James Stewart on Neck Braces: MXN: Everywhere you look riders are wearing neck braces such as the Leatt Brace, Alpinestars BNS, EVS. Have you ever worn one and what are your thoughts on neck braces in general, I don't think we've seen you wearing one? JAMES STEWART: I've tried them on and I've been trying to wear the Alpinestars one…you know I wore the Leatt back in the day but I don't know, I just, there are studies that say it helps, but then there is nothing that it proves that it's better for you to wear one or not, so I just think it's kind of like people who want to wear chest protectors. If you want to wear it then wear it, if not then don't. You know I really don't have an opinion about it. I think it's one of those subjects that are very touchy. I just choose not to wear one. James Stewart on First Bike, Toys and Two-Strokes: MXN: We know you have a Lamborghini, any thoughts on your next toy? JAMES STEWART: I'd like to get me a 2010 Motocross National Championship toy. You can't ride it but it means a lot, so hopefully that'll be my next toy. MXN: Do you ever still ride a two-stroke, just for fun? JAMES STEWART: I rode the ones at my ride day, the two-strokes, and it's just not…it's just not there anymore you know? The new 450's, like especially the Yamaha, are so good it's hard to really want to ride a two-stroke for fun, the only thing that's cool is the sound. I had one I rode at the ride days but I almost got smoked by a few dudes when I was riding a 250 two-stroke, so I said nah just gotta give it up, I just have to. MXN: You gave one of your old bikes to your brother haven't you? The KX250? JAMES STEWART: No actually. No that's actually his bike, and a lot of people think that but if you know anything about factory equipment, you don't get to keep it, you gotta send it back. So if you think my brother has my two-stroke 250 engine, that's not even true, you gotta give all that stuff back, I wish…I would have kept it for myself! MXN: What was your first bike growing up? JAMES STEWART: I think my first bike was a YZinger, it was a three wheeler. That's the first thing I had, yeah I had a three-wheeler and then I got on a motorcycle, a PW50. MXN: Do your friends really call you "Bubba"? Like do they walk up to you and say "Yo Bubba!"? JAMES STEWART: No, no, no…a lot of my friends they know better than to call me Bubba and stuff. And I don't mind it you know, but people that are called friends they know my real name, so no. James Stewart on Fuel TV and Bubba's World: MXN: Now with Bubba's World on Fuel TV, do you expect to really show people what you are really all about, or is it your public persona? Are you going to give the fans a look into your home life and family at all, or how will it go down? JAMES STEWART: Yeah well I think you'll know who my family is a lot more, you know it's a reality show so it's based on what happens and at that time I was flying cross country a lot, I wasn't racing, I was doing a lot of different things and it's kind of like with a reality TV show you gotta keep it real so maybe the next time it might be more about training and me getting back and the racing side of things, but at that time I wasn't racing… But yeah it gives an insight into a little bit of what goes on in my life but I think the cool part is you get to see my house, both of my houses, you get to meet my Dad, meet my Mom - a lot of people have never really talked my Mom, my brother and some of the friends. So I think you'll see how busy the Stewart camp is and it's not just a motocross track where you go ride motorcycles. It's a full-on operation out there so it's pretty cool. MXN: How did you get involved with Fuel TV? JAMES STEWART: Well you know we were working with Terence Michaels and he came to me with an idea of doing a TV show, I never really thought it would happen and we got in contact with Fuel TV and they said they were really excited about doing it. And I just thought with their side of being in the (action) sports world with my sport and everything I thought it would be a perfect fit! And obviously we did the show and they loved the show and Fuel TV is owned by FOX so then we did a lot of cool things with FOX in different channels and I thought it was the perfect match for what I wanted to do, a moto show. It wasn't no dating show or nothing like that, so we just wanted to go ahead and keep it real and that's how we came up with it. MXN: Alright James, we wish you the best of luck in the upcoming year and we'll be looking for you outdoors. Conducted at Fuel TV studios in NYC, East 11th Street, March 22, 2010 by Sean Goulart.

Even if two strokes were given a boost in displacement, I would have to wait until the technology caught up to the new four strokes. I think that is ultimately the issue, not how the engine produces power but the power that comes from it. It was a great read. Quote Last Post Only Tiki wrote: I agree with your comment.

Little background on James if you didn't know: James rode his 125 faster then all the 250 four strokes, set fastest lap times in 2002 on a 125 while racing the Nationals - this was compared to the 250 two strokes and a few 450 four strokes. I have personally seen James lay the record fastest lap on a 112 supermini at Mammoth. I think his opinion holds some weight. But by all means spin the story to make claims why 1993 technology is better then 2010 technology, it makes you look so smart! Quote Last Post Only MXEditor - Great work. What is funny, the fastest guy to ever ride a two stroke motocross bike in my opinion is James Stewart and he voiced his opinion.
