When James was inventing it, where did he get his information from?..Film?, watching others?, that one and only pic that some claim JoJo Keller was doing it?..was James even born then?...

I remember Bradshaw and RJ doing it in the 80's, not quite as extreme, but the scrub has been around since the 70's. Bubbas peg scrapers, thats all him... It came about around the same time bmx'ers were starting to manual jumps to avoid the speed loss being in the air. Maybe he took a cue from them

No one will ever know when the first one was, but here's Graham Barber with JoJo behind him watching. I'd say this is a pretty damn good classic pre-James version.

I pretty sure he didn't invent the scrub. He invented the "Bubba Scrub".

I would think bubba made it popular when he started doing it over every jump,but it's been around for a long while


Hey Pete24 didn't you crash after Buckley took that pic?

Sponsorship possibilities? It's not a Wheaties box, but now that he's clean it fits.

Does this photo constitute definitive proof that JoJo stole the scrub from Barber? : )

When I talk to him about this when he mastered this on the 125, he would go so fast that when he was play whipping the bike in practice, he discovered it saved on lap times and the scrub was born.

He may not have invented it but, James did perfect it. Much like Eddie Van Halen didn't invent two handed tapping on the guitar. They both obviously elevated the game. Credit where it's due?

Yep,there are plenty of C riders all over the country that have him to blame for them blowing out their shoulders because they couldn't get their bike back straight from their massive 'butt scrubs'. Wink

Because it rhymes.

James definitely took it further than anyone. Style has also evolved since then, and you don't see it nearly as often.
