Budds Creek 2007 Henry Hill scrub - I lost count of how many times I rewound that. Names of winners from specific rounds are hard to remember but I can easily recall those jaw-dropping moves.

the best thing James could do right now is watch these videos on a continuous to get that old confidence back.... he's still young, still is the most talented rider to ever swing a leg over, and he should still be pwn'ing these guys...

So True! Look at this past weekend, hardly anything about who won the races! All the buzz is"Did you see that scrub James did on Alessi? DAMN"! and what place did James get, 4th OA?

Been standing here every year since I was about 3. Thought he was dead. Wish I could find a high speed one. Then you can really appreciate it.

One that's stuck in my head is from a national years ago, he launched off this single wfo onto the face of another one, although he didn't make it, they were so far apart that no-one would even consider it to be a double. The gap between the two was ridiculous. It's probably in one of those best of vids but I don't have time to look through them all.

In 2008, that was Freestone that you are thinking of. and yes, that was amazing!
That's right! I was totally imagining the Texas national, track layout, and everything. Total brain fart. I just tried to find a video of it online but no luck.

The pass that he put on David Pingree at his first professional race A1 in 2002. On video it may not have looked like much, but in person it looked like he jumped under Pingree. The jump was a tabletop that had kind of a curve to it. That is the moment that I think that people realized that James' talent was on another level.

Check out these videos from A3 of the same year. This is a 16 year-old kid in his first professional race.............crazy.

I remember being at that race and you summed it up exactly right. I had the perfect angle to see that pass. I think after he landed he tripled from the inside which I don't think anyone else was doing unless they went outside. I also loved that pass from the 04 Southwick race when he split the two riders and had about 2 inches on each side! I also rode Elsinore a bunch at the same time as they made that Stewart 125 vid. I couldn't even imagine doing the things on that vet track I saw in that video. Especially those two tabletops! I don't know how many laps I turned on that track in that exact configuration and to this day that video still blows my mind.

Great thread! remebering stewart for the good things he has done!

His last to first rides at red bud and budds creek back in the 125 days. Wow!

I was standing on the inside of the last corner before the finish line when he scrubbed past Langston on the old downhill tabletop red bud used to have after larocco's leap. Between that and watching him drag peg up the face of the finish line table every lap while charging to the front, I was never the same after that!

I believe that is the same one that was mentioned, freestone rollers right after the finish line. Inside roller to the next full track width roller, was insane!!!

I miss young James on a 125.

I wish more riders retired in their prime like RC so their reputations didn't get tarnished with dragging on til the bitter end (cough cough Reed!)....

I believe it was Millville back in 03 or 04 when he was still on a 125. He got a 10th-15th place start and was in 2nd by the end of the second set of whoops. Flat out flyin'! I had the race saved on my tv for years, but lost it when I moved.

Anyone recall?

One more addition.. LL qualifier Field of Dreams, PA



My mother took me to a lot of races because my father worked a lot. She was quite the non moto mom and honestly didn't care if I raced at all. James and I raced a mini class together that day, although I wouldn't say anyone really raced him. After finishing a respectable fourth first moto I made my way back to the trailer. My mother arrives and asked if that #259 was in the wrong class, because he almost lapped us and was jumping a monster double a lot of the big bike weren't. I explained who he was but was still in disbelief about him launching the double. We made our way back to the track to watch him run another class & she insisted I learn where he was making up ssssoooo much time. My analysis was he was making it up everywhere going WFO all the way around the track and sure as shit he launched that HUGE ass double every lap. My mother very rarely left the trailer besides to watch me but that day even the most naive non moto mother knew that James Stewart had the most talent she had ever seen on a motorcycle. When we got home my 5th place OA wasn't the first thing she mentioned to my father it was the mind blowing speed of James Stewart Jr.

He still has IT and if he puts all distractions aside he will be the big dawg once again.

Seeing him on a KX125 always made me want to ride Kawi so i could be like James on the track. I my opinion he was unstoppable on a 2 stroke most of the other riders couldnt even hang with him. However since everyone has switched to 4 strokes it has leveled the playing field quite a bit. When he rode SX on a 125 it was like he had a big bore kit he would do jumps no one else would even dare try. Funny watching the old 125 footage the bikes look so slow.

There is a video of him at Cahullia Creek on a KX250 shot by TWMX i believe he was going WFO the entire way around the track was crazy.

Good thread, I was just thinking this the other day when he scrubbed by Alessi. Not many riders have a "greatest moments" list that include single jumps or feats of amazement. How many guys can you recount the year, track, and moment he did something amazing? Not many, and none as many as James, probably. Thanks for starting this thread, lawd knows it wouldn't have gained any traction had I started it when I thought of it.

Manual city here. Still one of my favorite vids of him. Wish he was still #259 actually. Watch him manual the camel back at the 2:14 mark.

Practice one year at Washougal a kid was hanging over the fence in a right hand turn waving his hand Stewart went outside and gave him a high five. Next lap there a few more kids doing it and he went out side pinned it and have them all high fives next lap every kid was hanging over wanting to get a high five from Stewart.
