I think Tiger Woods is a fair comparison. He was unbelievably talented phenom that was supposed to break all the record books but just came up short in their late careers. Still one of the all time greats.

One of the most talented riders to ever swing their leg over a dirt bike, too fast for his own good much of the time, whose career was handled very poorly much of the time.

FUCKING FEARLESS............ and as pretty as anything you'll ever see. That's how...! IMHO. He's what Magoo would of been if he would of listened to DeCoster and slowed down a little...! James had a little bit of that bug also but had some bitterness that nothing to do with racing to go with it at times. One of the very best of all time and is the real reason we saw RC leave when he did.
'the real reason we saw RC leave when he did.'.... Just,,,wow.

Definitely a great rider but the last few years and the ban will definitely tarnish his legacy.
Anytime new people look up his wiki page or info on him the ban will be one of the things they will see.

The excuses is what kills me a few weeks of problems I can deal with but week after week gets old.
I just want to see guys race.

A new friend of mine has expressed interest in Supercross and he'll be coming over to watch A1 tomorrow. I explained the format to him and tried to familiarize him with the riders, the number of rounds, the new format, etc... but someone in the room asked about JS7 and I shrugged my shoulders saying that I still didn't know what was going on - and held out some hope since last year it took Chad Reed until just few days prior to A1 to announce his plans (that hope has vanished now).

So my question, which is sure to devolve into a sh*t show, but I hope someone can take seriously.......how would you explain JS7 to a newb as succinctly and accurately as possible. Because it is getting increasingly hard to describe his speed and not really have anything to point to in recent history.
Had to start another JS7 thread! This is as dumb as it gets. Do you need advice in the sack with a chick too? LMAO

Raced his ass off for 15 years, broke barriers, revolutionized riding technique, plagued by concussions near the end.

Probably could come back at anytime with great results if he dedicated himself to it. Now in his thirties and with other current priorities that keyboard warriors can't/won't accept.

If you are willing to share your secrets then yes, I am all ears on what to do in the sack with chicks. Diagrams are helpful.

If your friend is a newb to MX, then you will be speaking an incomprehensible language (jargon, comcepts, etc.) trying to describe JS7. Meaning, he would at least need to have a general foundation of knowledge, in regards to the intricacies of the sport, to even begin to understand his impact and legacy.

I've done this for a friend. Just basically said he was at one point the most talented rider on the planet. Amazing to watch. But the last few years injuries and age had started to slow him down a bit. But at any given point he could prob still show up and make everyone look stupid. He will always be one of my favorite riders.

While leading a race, he pulled off, let 2nd place pass, and then passed back.

Some peoples opinion of Stewart annoy me! How can you be anything but a fan of the guy. I think people just like having something to moan about

In the 12 years I've been interested in mx I've had more enjoyment watching him race than any other rider. Pure exiting to watch race. Win or crash mentality.

If you look into the detail of the whole suspension it was radiculous, he still takes the supplements that he was banned for taking, but now he's been 'approved' to take them its all ok. Stooopid.

He's struggled in the last few years with that, a couple of injuries and the fact that I don't think it was any secret that the old yams were dogs.
he's probably in the top 3 riders who have done the most for the sport in its history.

And took one of the coolest things in the sport the 'scrub' to a whole new level!

Glad to hear he's not done and I honestly believe if he has the right programme he's got a lot more race wins and a championship left in him

Easy: "Kid, you see these super fast up and coming kids, they're all imitating James Stewart. They are all his inheritors. Sadly, most of them don't even realize it".

Respect MISTER James Stewart.

Nailed it. Man, it sure is refreshing reading these respectful comments of one of the sports legends instead of the typical garbage. There is no way these guys who constantly bag on James are true moto heads. NO WAY!!
