The first time I ever saw it was in 1982, Donnie Hansen at Indian Dunes. The second was Johnny O’mara 1982 on Suicide Mountain at Saddleback. In 1983 I was following Kyle Lewis around the international track at Indian Dunes, he was doing it over the finish line jump.

While I’ve seen it a lot throughout the years, nobody took it to the extreme that Stewy did.

I think it was evolved in the late 70,s, but James perfected it into what we see today.

You just conceded two posts ago, dummy.

UpTite gave you three examples, others have provided at least three or four. Denial, much? Grinning

I guess it depends on what you define as a "scrub". Body/bike english to stay lower? Or both tires breaking traction on the face of the jump to alter trajectory? Kind of a blurry line between the two, really.

Hey Seaweed..I searched it up..this is what it said...Dry

James

James not only created the scrub as it is known today, but he also changed the way people ride - literally changed the entire sport of motocross with his style - and everybody wants to be able to scrub like Bubba, they just aren't good enough. That is where the half-scrub somes in. | Quote

It's so wild Priddy named it the Bubba scrub 11 years before James was even born. Or did James get the nickname from the maneuver? Whistling

Truth be told. a fair few photos that look impossibly sick were snapped just as things came unglued. GuyB had a great shot of Windham at Glen Helen just laid over burying it in the first turn, but in video of the follow through he truly buried it and almost high sided when the bike stood up.

No, he was hitting a bump just before the top and throwing it to crest the top, it was pretty sick back then. In 82, nobody was jumping it.

Honestly, I feel like there were a few guys that almost crashed and looked like they were scrubbing... and then there was James.
