0:52-1:12 kills it on that night track
"I would love nothing more than to see James kill it for a couple more years before he retires but the sport will move on regardless if he ever lines up again or not."
No sense getting your dander up, dude. I believe this is what every JS7 fan is saying here, at least those with some maturity & sense about them.
We don't care if he finishes a the championship at this point. We just want him out on the track because it adds to the excitement of the race. Nobody thinks he's an untouchable greek god. We just love the history of the sport and he is a part of it.
It's so insulting when you say "how many threads a day do we need people hanging of James balls, tissues in hand." We are just fans of the guy.....jesus.
"The Musquin incident" he says, oh boy!
Oh and please show us the size of the blisters on your hand while racing a 20 lap main and see if you stay on racing a supercross track. Not to big of an excuse if the blister is big enough, specially on your palms! some of us would rather ride with a broken finger then a big ass blister.
In my opinion: His dynamic style and ability to do things on a motorcycle that were at one point unimaginable defined an evolution in the sport of motocross. The "bubba scrub" was unheard of. Dragging a foot peg pinned in fourth gear at Budd's Creek is no joke. It was controlled chaos, and amazing to watch.
This kid came into the pro ranks with a ton of pressure not only to perform for his sponsors but also his family, racing was their life. And he came out and dominated. The things that this kid would do on a KX125 were nothing short of amazing, and again, he changed the trajectory of the sport and pushed all of the riders around him to step up their programs - I do not believe that I have witnessed another rider change the sport as much as James in the last 20 years, and we probably won't for some time.
James's talent remains, but with the ups and downs he has faced with the suspension, teams issues, etc. he may have lost his way mentally. And I for one hope that he comes back 100% swinging and gives the current field a run for their money.
We don't need James - we need "Bubba"...... I'm a fan. Its hard not to be because when James is on, it's nothing short of incredible.
Pit Row
Now, if James comes back on a weedmaps Husky TC250 two-stroke and does the sprinkler... well... i'll need help picking up the pieces of my fragmented skull after my head explodes.
James Stewart was in the books and minds by 2004. The meltdown in -16, was studied by us all, and it received energetic hate. Gratitude is appropriate, he raced and was humiliated, and lucky to not get hurt.
It was at best very sad and scary, and there is for sure things we do not know of, making him take the risks and the mental beating to get out there - and be told to go home.
I left this sport and what made me devoted again was to catch a glimpse of the -11 version of James Stewart. I could not believe what I saw. I am now back, and caught up a decade and a half. I can still not believe the impact he had. There is reason to doubt we will see anything like that again.
Love him, hate him or indifferent to him, you could never argue it is better having him on the sidelines rather than on the track or under the awning.
