What a F'ing joke, sounds like Playstation 2, some posters on this board are pretending that Stewart this year is a totally different person than the one from the previous 3 years that raced and lost 4 AMA titles in a row to RC. Bubba may seem like a different rider, BUT! that's only because he doesn't have Carmichael to contend with anymore and is racing against the same guys who were whollowing over a minute behind RC and Stewart when they were out front running first and second. Twist and turn, bend and squeeze it as many times as you want, Bubba will always live in the Shadow of RC, because he had 4 chances to win an AMA title from RC and everytime he went home with Goose Eggs. HECK! he couldn't even win the title after Ricky handed the 2007 AMA MX title on a Silver platter, AFTER!! schooling Bubba for 5 overalls in a row. You probably won't see Stewart have crash this year, because he's simply on cruise control with the competition he's racing against, BUT! wait until someone like Villopoto starts catching up from behind, showing him a wheel and then passing him, then you'll see how quickly the riding over his head and crashing JS1 comes back. Enjoy and bask in this Bubba Sunshine, while it lasts, because Villopoto's going to start to rain on your parade in 2009.
JS is an MX god.

“Did anyone see how fast Bubba was coming through the sweeper into the section with the tabletop along pit row?.... He looked like a roadracer coming through there. Unreal. He looks like he rides as fast as anyone could...then something yellow shows up behind him.” Moto East Mag
“A good smile can turn a prune back into an apricot” (gcw).
“As I’m watching Carmichael dismantle the world again week after week, never getting tired and always chalking it up to fitness, I’m thinking that maybe the guy is so good that anyone chasing him is gonna’ miss the mark by a long shot. Yes it’s tempting to say “Ricky wins so do what Ricky does and you’ll win.” But really, is it possible that maybe he’s just a freak of nature and it’s not possible to do what he does, and maybe doing it doesn’t help? I’ve said it before, Ricky has been killing it since he was on 60s, and I doubt it was because he was putting in more time on a Huffy than the other 8 year olds at the time. The dude is a freak and his records will never be duplicated, and you could line up Hercules against him on a motocross track and he would still win” (Jason Weigandt).
”I think Bubba was shocked at Mount Morris last year (2006). He got the holeshot and took off setting lap times 6 seconds faster than any laid down during practice. To his horror RC was right on his tail, gaining on him. By then it was too late.”
“You've either raced against or worked with the greatest riders who have ever lived: Joel Robert, Heikki Mikkola, Bob Hannah, Rick Johnson, Jean-Michel Bayle, Jeremy McGrath…. Where do you place Ricky among the giants?
Ricky is the most single-minded guy I have ever worked with. He is the most focused. Bayle was a very focused guy and very mental, but Bayle was more like, "Let's figure out the easiest way. We don't need to train so much during the week. Let's just play-ride and try to figure out the best way to save energy and win that way." With Ricky, it's all physical and dedication. I have never seen a person put so much focus on something and keep going. A person has to find a balance for himself. Not many people can go from morning to evening, day in and day out like Ricky. Bob Hannah was probably the most similar to Ricky, with a lot of willpower. He didn't always look the best in practice, but when it was race time, he was there. With Ricky, whether it's testing, training, or riding, he'll do whatever it takes” (Roger DeCoster).
uh, wouldn't that make back into a plum?
Mind you, I agree.

You gotta admit RC has some hardcore fans that just can't move on like he has.
James will beat the rest of the world for the next few years at MxoN , and when RV moves up we are going to be hella lucky as fans that we dont have to wait 3 yrs for some good front of the pack racing , again.
I can't wait to see RV JS battle its going to be awesome!
I will be beyond pissed if either goes SX only though...
I don't see RV kicking Bubba's ass for a little while, if ever. If RV were riding his PC250, he might pressure him enough to force a mistake, but really, that's a moot point because it can't happen (except at Des Nations). So, who would win if both of them were riding 250Fs? That's the real question!
If you watch James he is much more in control and just doing what he has to do to win, He doesn't need to lap the field or win by 2 minutes.
The Fact that RC is retired shouldn't matter , James is racing who ever shows up, it's not his problem who retired or didn't race.

Stewart's the fastest guy in MX right now. He's doing an amazing job, and it's fantastic to watch him do it.
Does he have less competition to deal with? Yes.
If he is riding smoother and more relaxed it is due to a combination of the above two. ( Not his fault there's no one to race with. And there's no reason to think he hasn't learned from his crashing in the past, to ride smarter. )
Is the JS 2.0 bit a little gay? Well, for grown adults to carry on like that .... yes.
