I don't think there has ever been a rider with more "OMG" moments in their career than James. So, seeing that scrub last Saturday got me thinking about all his "OMG" moments throughout his career and thought I would make a list of them. If anyone have pics or videos, post them. And no, I'm not talking about the crashes!
1. 2002 jumping a quad at Phoenix SX on a 125.
2. 2003 jumping a quad at Vegas SX on a 125.
3. 2003 Bubba Scrub at Budds Creek MX
4. 2004 triple, triple, triple at Vegas SX on a 125.
5. not sure what year, jumping laroccos leap on a 125.
6. 2007 scrubbing pass on RC at A1.
7. 2007 jumping the entire whoop section at LV SX.
8. 2010 jumping a rhythem lane in 2 jumps at US open
9. 2011 triple, triple, quad at A2.
10. 2011 jumping tha wall jump at Daytona.
11. 2011 jumping a quad at LV SX.
12. many, many practice videos.
I know there's many more. Can you add to the list? I know the JS7 bashers will be along any minute to post stupid shit!

When was it that he did the look-back in the middle of the whoop section?
I saw this in person and it looked way crazier... but check the 2:21 mark here.

2008 - his Lakewood leap past Davi Millsaps for the lead. He came up a bit short, but he turned something into a double that nobody else probably even considered trying.
2007 - Can't remember the race, but the supercross finish line jump he crashed on. His bike was totally mangled and he caught back up and passed Reed for the win (I think).
2009 - U.S. Open of SX practice: He did some ridiculous quad in practice. I don't even know how he stopped for the tight following turn. I would try to find a video but I'm at work and can't figure out how to open a new explorer window. It's on youtube.
Check out these videos from A3 of the same year. This is a 16 year-old kid in his first professional race.............crazy.

i witnessed both his huge quad in Vegas on the 125, but also his HUGE endo another year at Vegas.
one that sticks out to me though was at the World Mini when he was on his 80, he was triple tripling through a section that the fastest 250 Pro's were only doubling through. the same year Pastrana was quad doubling it on a 125, ate shit ass over tea-kettle, got up and nailed it the next lap.
but Stewart tripling through it was unworldly to us, it was unreal

thanks for posting.
back when there wasnt a monster sticker on every kawi....
He squared up a half track roller through a turn and launched over Davi Millsaps to flat ground to take the lead. Insane!! Gonna be a damn shame when he's not on the line..
Also just remembered..Hurricane Hills Pennsylvania. James was still a little guy on an 80 and he had to come out and race for some sponsored race. He was jumping the elevator step up on his 80. This thing would eat your lunch if you came up short and at that time it was mostly 250 guys jumping it and a few experts on 125s. Kid cleared it every lap, I remember my dad telling me that he's never seen anyone ride like that before. To quote my dad "That kid looks like he is going to crash every time he leaves the ground" haha
Post a reply to: Stewarts "OMG, Did you see that" the list...
