I didn't...I was near the first turn. Judging from the crowd reaction (and fans rushing across from section to section), it must have been a good one.

I got a pretty good sequence of it from across the track. I need help resizing it before I post it though.

Would you say that Ryan Villopoto is the greatest 125 class rider of all time?

125? You'd probably have to pick someone who actually rode a 125 for that honor.

I can say that I never saw anyone ride a 125 like Stewart did.

Well as you probably realized before your previous post, I meant the lites class.

Gimmee a break, Stewart is the best 2 stoker ever PERIOD, case closed, no argument.

He rode a 125 like it was an 80's big wheel. I was there, I saw it.

Some one needs to come up with a 450 motor that lowers the center of gravity. BMW's new engine design where the cylinder is closer to parallel is a move in the right direction.

If JS is the best 2 stroke 125 rider ever, why does he only have 2 outdoor titles in that class? He's no Barnett, RC, Glover or RV when it comes to winning championships.

Jeff Emig 1992
Steve Lamson 1996

Emig (vs. LaRocco) was pretty incredible at Budds Creek in '92. That stands out in my mind as one of the best pre-Stewart era 125 rides that I've witnessed.

We aren't talking about overall championships we are talking about who could
ride the 125 best and that is Stewart hands down.

Are you kidding? You obviously watch with your eyes closed. He broke his collarbone and missed the first 4 races of the season and still almost won the title his second year. Won all but 1 moto his last year. When did Barnett, Glover, or RC ever do that in the 125 class? Out of the 32 races he started in the 125 class he has what? 28 wins and holds the record for most 125 wins in both MX and SX.

I'm going with Stewart. He always seemed to have that 125 pinned. Old school, Barnett.
