BTW I wasn't bashing James. I simply stated the truth. The post above mine wondered why some people hate him. Well part of it has to do with the things I mentioned.
Don't like it, suck it up butter cup.
Also, hard to continue being a fan when he doesn't line up, doesn't let his fans know what's up, says one thing but does the other, etc. the list goes on. And I know there's plenty of people who feel the same way. We can't all be nut huggers!
James Bubba Stewart Net Worth: $18 million dollars.
Malcolm Stewart net worth: $500 thousand.
I can think of a million reasons why Malcolm might want to keep racing.

Watch yourself Mav
Didn't think being a different race had anything to do with helping the sport. Motocross is global. Pretty sure that includes a lot more than white people.
Talent has no color!
James on Letterman or the tonight show.....Check
different colors, different seat covers
BTW, can't believe how much stupid crap I've read about the guy in here.
James is the guy I've always wanted to watch race more than any other. And I don't think I'm alone in this regard.

Both guy's are very accomplished. There's no doubting that. Both will be in the Motorcycle Hall of Fame.
How many started paying attention to the sport because of James???
Please don't tell me he didn't have an influence on bringing people of color to this sport because personally I know a handful of friends that thought it was only a "white" sport and started watching and paying attention just because of James.
He had segments on ESPN, had a E60 episode and brought a lot of notoriety to the sport. Not to mention he was the most polarizing guy to throw a leg over a motorcycle. Which MADE people want to watch him.
Just because he didn't walk away from the sport like you would have wanted, you are being short sighted to say he didn't have a big influence on the sport.
JS7 fan here.. always.
DGAF how he walks away from the sport. He can do whatever he wants. He did his time and earned his retirement.
I'll admit that there's more black people involved in the sport now than ever but be honest with yourself. How many have you actually seen riding on tracks, trails, etc. VS. out in the street doing wheelies flailing their arms like idiots? Most of them probably didn't even know dirt bikes existed before James showed up. BTW I'm not blaming James for that movement but his influence probably had a part in it. It showed that riding dirt bikes was OK even if you were a different race and that it was not just a "white" only sport like you mentioned. You said it yourself that he had an influence on bringing people of color to the sport.
James didn't make them ride the streets they chose that on their own but you're a fool if you think he didn't introduce dirt bikes to a whole bunch of those guys.
"How many have you actually seen riding on tracks, trails, etc. VS. out in the street doing wheelies flailing their arms like idiots?"
Wow, buddy. These statements seems to contradict each other. I hope this wasn't serious and just a lame attempt to be funny.
For the record, I hate the wheelie boys sh*t heads
Post a reply to: So you have to imagine JS7 & MS27 are doing a team together for '18 SX right?
