Does that really look anything like the scrub James Invented? That looked more like a little wheel turn to me

JoJo Keller before that. Modern technology and better handling bikes allowed Stewart to take it to the next level.

Staying low for speed was never a new idea. JS was just the first to stay even lower by going sideways a bit, intentionally.

Bubba invented the SCRUB
Brock invented the BRUSH
Jojo just ate lots of twinkles and his bike slowed on all jumps

What puzzled me always is why EVERYONE says the "scrub" is scrubbing off speed??? When it is NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The scrub is "scrubbing" off HIGHT......not speed!

The scrub is intended to be able to hit jump faces faster and still land on the backside of another jump.

I can remember times of Guy Cooper back 25years ago doing the scrub too. James didn't invent it, but IMO he definitely perfected it and brought it to a different level for sure.

BTW.....If any of you flamers wanna argue the speed vs hight debate start you tubing some videos of James passing guys in the air ......tell me he's "slowing down" off the jump faces when he flys past them while flying under them!Pinch .

One thing about old racers: they may get slower, but their ego doesn't get smaller.

He may not of invented it.....but he sure as heck perfected it. MC was pretty good at it back in the day too.....but not to the extremes James did it. First time I saw it.....my jaw dropped.

Not the originator James just used better equipment to advance the technique. What the younger riders don't know is bikes broke back in the old days not only did you have to know how to ride fast you had to keep your sh!t together. Thanks that was the photo I was thinking of. Try scrubbing any of the old period correct suspension and not end up on your head. I don't mean the Racetech enhanced stuff either.

Amazing shots too!!!! Cool When still framed like that it looks as if their would be no way he couldn't have crashed! You would think that he would have had to have speared a footpeg or bar end into the dirt!
