PrintEverytime it happens, you think it could be the last time. We've been watching run ins between Chad Reed and James Stewart (and James Stewart and Chad Reed) for nearly a decade now, and although it seems like it will never end, someday, it is going to have to.
But the moto Gods just don't seem to be satisfied quite yet.
Trey Canard may have won the Monster Energy Supercross on Saturday night in Dallas, and Ryan Villopoto may have finished second and retaken the points lead. But the 51,509 fans on hand in Cowboys Stadium surely left talking about just one thing first, and that was the impact that impacted the race and impacted the points standings. It didn't do much for the vaunted Reed/Stewart rivalry, though. That's already set--and locked--on max.
The Moment from Dallas? Pretty obvious. The Stewart/Reed collision.
Whenever these two are close, you pretty much know what's going to end up happening next.

It's going to get better!! Go 22
Stewarts new nickname should be "wrecking ball" or "kamakazi." James "Kamakazi Stewart dive bombs someone again!
What'll happen next is that the 22 will be off the box in STL, and the 7 will win or be 2nd.... Doesnt bother me in the least that the 22 got collected.... had it coming for that absolute dickweed move he put on the 7 in the ATL that cost both of them.... That was malicious, this was not... this one was simply idiotic... is there a difference ? Yes, to me there is... Not that it matters.... neither will win the title now... take it to the bank...
idk he might be called markamikazi
Bubba Stewart... COMING THROUGH!!!
dude reed saved js7 and some fans i mean think about it if reed wouldnt been there js7 would have flyed over the berm and landed on the stands thats kind of ironic
Guys C'mon! That was NOT in any way a "cray" or "kamikaze" move. He was just going to the inside and got all messed up and had no other choice. You wanna talk about Kamikaze look what Reed to Stewert in Indy.
Dungeyboresme.......really you moron, and you think Reed's move was stupid, stewart cant even keep it on two wheels. It would have happend to any rider in front of him. But because it was Reed you have to post your pee brain comments. Stewart will not win the title I will take that to the bank. Reed has a great chance.......unless stewart is behind him in the whoops. You ball sack!!
Any second now Cashman should be showing up to spread some hate.
JS7 is gunna kill himself or at worse someone else he is dangerous and as we all know if he can't terrorize other riders on his off weekends he goes out during the week and tries to terrorize members of the public. James you need to re-asses your life and try to work out how you will be able to live with yourself if you do seriously hurt another rider because of your stupidity. Fastest man on 2 wheels how about the biggest retard on 2 wheels
Is JS7 new nickname Felon or Fell-on?
How about felon-off?
I don't think CR saved Stewey from shooting off the berm. JS7 got out of shape when CR slowed in the whoops. Everyone knows if you lift in the whoops it gets bad fast.
So if CR wasn't there JS wouldn't have had to lift.
More importantly, Lets bring back the hay bails. The tough blocks ruin more racers nights. Nothing makes a racer look more like a goon than a tough block
8-up............???????? Your talking about lift I just watched it again, Reed was not in the way at all. Stewart lost control of his throttle and Reed is what stoped him, if he wasn't there he would have went face first into the stadium wall. Everyone knows how bad he is in the whoops.
For those of us with years of sadle time racing, we have all seen these type of moves at weekend races from novice class to local pro's. Often made by racers chaseing a plastic trophy worth less than their entry fee. Riders racing on the edge, often over there heads.
Dont think that just cause Reed and JS are the best of the best they cant ride over there heads and slip off the razors edge, that is motocross racing. Seems like some of you forget thats what this sport is built on. In the day, it was called riding WFO.
With 5 racers capable of winning anygiven night, racing WFO is what happens. Sure the smartest riders try to calm down and win the championship, but ego is turning the throttle now, lets just enjoy the show.
yea, I'm with the switch to hay, the farmers need some love..... oh yea see you dorks in Vegas!!!
i agree with dungey bores me, stewart made a mistake and got out of shape at least it wasnt as bad as reeds diliberate not to mention desparate take out on stew in atlanta, reed got what was coming and that was funny s seeing reed go over the bars, and then coudnt get through the whoops not once but almost twice without landing on his a, reeds a moving chican charmas a b, hows it go dont want no s dont start s, dungie bores the hell out of me to, they say he is like stanton, that means they will remember who didnt win the tiltle, people still talk about bradshaw when stanton took the title while only winning a couple of races.
i want my MTV
money for nothing, chicks for free
What about James taking out JT and many others? Don't get me wrong it's exciting but I guarantee that the other riders are like watch out when James is around.
Stewart was lucky Reed was in the berm!! YAMAHA654 your and IDIOT!
doesnt anybody leave a good coment its bash 7 2 5 22 thats all you red about

my 4 year old dog could ride better than James bobble gobbles stewart with a trycle with training wheels on it.. yes i know my dog is cool. braaaaap!
Racin is racin my friends,I know I didn't spell that right for a reason.
BMAW, once again, your post was the stupidest post of the night. Thank you for participating and making us all even dumber just for reading it.
I love you guys
"The Eviscerator"
uh, someone above called the move IDIOTIC, i wonder if any of you have ever ridden, how is losing control in the whoops idiotic?
duuh
CBS Sports................WTF. Who gives a giant rats a double ss about all the BS. The race is why 80% of us tune in. Come on!
Can someone tell Ricky Bobby ahhh I mean James Stewart its just fine to finish second, third or hell even fourth isn't that bad. This win or nothing mentality is going to get someone hurt. Maybe RC in the truck series gave James some advice saying rubbins racing.

You know what!! Dungey and Canard are quite and not being mentioned alot but it could be one of those that ends up with the title. As far as JS7 im not hating on him but something isnt right. May be Malcolm will take his place in the next yr or 2. Js7 needs to put his focus full on racing and winning. He has been lucky enough to survive those crashes. Honestly what other rider you know that crashes as much as JS and is still on 2? Ohh may be Malcolm and Ralph Shaheen hasn't been doing his homework bcoz he said the Texas race was the first time Malcolm finished a race Duhh He has finished 4th twice now.
yzf571, your right that coverage was awful. Who gives a shit about three twists and a mountain dew! Is that really better than heat race? "three twists and a mountain dew," for some reason that just pissed me off!
cbs coverage sucks. how will redbull feel about about bobbles representing for
mtn dew?
dungey is a class act case closed. stewart needs help bad he`s lost his mind from crashes weekly .reed is trying to run his own ship .unlike bubba ,he really needs to be consistent like dungey is and maybe just maybe he could win a championship next yr ,but its not happen this yr for him .its all or nothin now for rv and cr and rd .good luck its going down to vegas for sure
Really...... Are you guys still getting your panties in a twist over the Atlanta "pass"!? It was mere inches off of the BLOCK PASS OF THE CENTURY!! It was almost precision at it's best. And it encapsulated what MOTO is all about.
I'm not a Stewart hater, and I respect his raw speed and as a top level racer, but man he is looking LOOSE and dangerous out there lately.
Oh...... and Dungey does bore me too. Man, show some personality!!
But I do acknowledge his skills....
Respect.
Bubbles should just retire to the world of reality TV as he seems to be turning his entire life into one.
Instead of going out cruising the highways playing cops and speeders ( the fact that he has red and blue lights on his car means this must be a regular activity) he should be on one of his practice tracks learning how to ride a motorcycle without falling down.
A 25 year old man acting like a teenage punk... Big James must be proud.
Way to go Bubbles your a real class act. I just wonder how long you're sponsors are going to keep shelling out big cash for no wins and no titles... but hey at least you've got something the others in the top 5 don't have... a FELONY!!
I seem to recall an interview in which Reed talked about parking someone in "Row F." Who was that person?
All you guys that are commenting are just a bunch of moto junkie retards who dont even know the meaning of hitting a tripple jump to say the least. You morons cant even imagine the background of what is going on, with sponsors and money pulling you one way and the fans pulling you the other, you cant even imagine the pressure, so lay off and keep your comments to yourself and let it play out.
James "Bubba" Stewart, just what in the hell do you think you're doing? Villopoto looks too tentative, and Stewart's coming apart at the seams.
I'm sure Chad thought Stewart had come to get him at last for his rotten pass in Atlanta. He was sort of right. Gotta feel bad for Reed here--he definitely had Villopoto covered. He did crash in his heat, though, which was pretty unusual....
.
Super pumped for Trey Canard. Who here thought he could keep Reed, Stewart, Dungey, and Villopoto behind him for twenty laps? Not this guy.
How come no one blames god for these crashes they thank him when they win. Just wonderin.
They should get rid of the tuff blocks on top of the berms someone will get hurt by them one day.
I think the YZ future bike has REAL problems. i'm an RV2 fan and i think the suzuki is the best bike on the track (check its record) , think the hondas and kaw look good and i'm not making excuses for james ........but the old bike looked SO much better. I understand the copious use of the whiskey throttle doesn't help , but watch Brayton ,milsaps ,their bikes do the funky chicken hop to. They will get it but i don't care whos dialing it ,this year it ain't working.
I don't think Stewart's head is in the game, it can't be if he's gettin arrested, CR messed with his head when he took him out the 1st time, everytime they get together JS is worried about CR & forgets what he should be doin on the track, he has made alot of mistakes in every race lately, CR passes him & he gets out of control & hits his rear wheel, guess u could say their even now, JS is not focused. Nice ride TC & RV, I would like to see all the top riders stay on 2 wheels for 20 laps!
"Soil Samples" Stewart
JAMES STEWART IS CRASHING BECAUSE HE TOOK THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF HIS BIKE HAHAHAHHA!!!!!
Most of you guys don't know SQUAT about racing. And it shows. With the non-initiated it's all about being "reckless" and "take-outs". You guys simply don't know what this sport is about, consequently your comments are made from a position of ignorance. James has always ridden this way, and he isn't likely to change now. If Reed is nearby and aggressive, they're going to tangle. Stuff happens when your on the gas in the whoops, and Reed being there was his bad luck - nothing more. James is going to win or crash trying. Good, bad or otherwise, that's the way it is. Deal with it already. Most of you couldn't get out of the driveway wheels-down on a moped. lol
Dang! I wanted to see Dungey's crack-up in the main. I guess CBS had more important things to show??
Great season, haters or not, it's on like donkey kong. I'll be glued to it every weekend till Vegas.
faque 22 Reed and the reat of the Aussies. Dirty riding scumbag.
Man some of you must be the BEST riders ever!! Not sticking up for JS but Reed messed up and JS came up on him real fast and when you back off in the whoops you get out of shape, Some say he was lucky Reed was there... well if Reed was not there it would have never happen. It was racing thats all. Also why no talk of K-Dub running up the back of another guy in the whoops??
I make it a point to check these comments after Stewart pulls yet another bonehead move (AKA lawndart) and see how truly ignorant his fans really are! Simply amazing!
hey dident JS7 take out RV last week with the same move chad put on him, wonder where he learned that
I have just one question? Has any one making comments here, ever lined up at a real AMA Super - X or even an AMA National Moto - X race? Just wondering.
If Chad had pulled over like he was suppose to it wouldn't have happened.
Jame's will never win another championship, maybe not another race, and he might roll off into the sunset in a chair. Reckless person.
in Phx, CBS showed the sx race at 3, the same time lites was on speed(it was supossed to be on in the morning). I flipped back and forth between the 2, speed showed the heats, CBS gushed over the 4th, now 5th place guy, just telling us who won the heats. hopefully next year, it's all on speed, it's the sole reason I pay for cable, hope someone's paying attention
It was just plain bad luck for Reed. He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Reed was catching Canard. I would have loved to have seen that battle for the win.
Agree the TV coverage was terrible. But I assume it is the same guys that do the speed coverage. Missed the pass for 2nd, missed about everything but luckily most was on replay (except the RD and RV thing). No mention of JS7 spending a night in jail. And the comments were terrible, particularly the lites race where they were saying it would be the first race stewart finished... then didn't show the pass for 4th.

Ding ding ding, it's pretty entertaining to say the least. The media darling can't do anything wrong and the other riders beating him suck.
Funny , when some of you say James is dangerous , and is going to hurt someone , seriously, the whole sport is dangerous, Tragedy can happen at any moment to any rider , Just ask Bailey, Henry , Button , Fonseca, Distefano, etc. Some of you are wishing ill intent on James , be careful what you wish for , and by all means never ever get on a MX bike if you are afraid of crashing !!!
How about the 800 taking RD wide and standing him up in turn 4!! LOL Mike went backwards REAL fast.
Awesome track, thank you track builder, please soften the dirt in Vegas so the boys can race the way we like.
I agree that our sport is very dangerous, as I have suffered several broken bones, back surgery, sprains bruise...you name it, but what is being missed here is that Stewart should have stickers on the back of his helmet like the NFL players for all of the people he has taken out! He rides over his head when he does not get a good start and has landed on, t-boned more people than anyone else currently racing today. The difference in the old guys way of racing is that they did it on purpose, Stewart loses control and takes people out. Big difference!
Stewie is always riding way above his skill level, that is why he is crashing so much. And BILLC. to answer your question as to why people are talking about Stewie and not K-Dub. For one, Stewie has taken down the points leader 2 weeks in a row, and 2, it happens with Stewie several times a year, every year. He has taken down a number of riders this year already, do you see a pattern?? With Stewie I do, with K-Dub I dont. And you talk alot about peoples hate for Stewie, it is obvious after the last few seasons your dislike for Dungey.. And does anyone think it is strange hoiw a city the size of Indianapolis( with only 1.9 million in the metro area) can drw more fans than a city the size of the Dallas area?? Which is at least 3 times that many people. And a stadium that can hold 100,000 people. That should say it, MXSports, quit taking all the races to the southwest and west. Moce them back east. The east coast rounds having to race in Houston and Dallas bring on more expense from travel than the west coast riders anyway. Its wrong and unfair. The west coasnt teams might cross 3 states all year, a East coast team drives across that many states for one race..
You had the top 5 point leaders up front after one lap. It would of been nice to watch those 5 duke it out. That's what I was bummed about. Just like Reed said in his interview. He bobbled some in the whoops, James saw the opening, went for it and caught the last lip of that whoop sending him into Reed. It was a racing incident plain and simple. Not a take out move. Just sucked for the fans to watch a boring race after that.
@ MX Mike I have wondered the same thing about some of these people making comment like they know what it like on the upper levels of racing. Yes I have raced against some of the best but that was in the 70's what would I know?
RD has made up 3.8 points per race on the points leader since A2. He should win the seriers by about 6 points, even with an off day ( missing the podium ) at an upcoming event.
I hope reed gets parked up in the second row of seating next week.
I was really hoping stewart would do the right thing be a man and just come out and admit what he did, say sorry i messed up and move on. instead he had or asked everyone to ignore it, what a coward! how could you possibly be a stewart fan. old , young, black , white the little child is a total disgace there is no argument.
bd200 my point is eveyone had trouble in the whoops, But as I can see you only saw JS's trouble.
Funny how you still think JS took out RV in Toronto. I have watched it 20 times, no way it was a take out and RV is my guy. If RV knew there was another fast guy coming thru the pack he would have rode dif IMO, These guy never think about someone trying to pass them when there comming thru the pack because it almost never happens thats why RV squared up that turn.
This is racing, you guys if you even are racers you would know that it wasnt stewarts fault nor reeds. Sure reed took out stewart at atl. But this is nothing compared to that. It was a mistake, like any racer can and will make. Any rider who goes WFO in the whoops and gets out of shape and cant hang on will def. get whiskey throttle. Now grow up act your age and stop being all defensive and butt hurt about reed or stewart.
rv did square up the corner not stewarts fault, not a a stewart fan but thats what happen and it helped contribute to a really close pass, i dont like to stick up bobbles but...
I saw alot of people have trouble in the whoops, look at the track map page and see my comment about the whoops even before the race. And I never said Stewie took down Reed or nothing. What I said is Stewie was riding above his skill level through those whoops, and alot of the track. He almost went down several times. A large number of times, in the main. And he didnt let up, its why he crashes so much, it doesnt make him fast, it makes him reckless. Its why fans raise alot of hell when he takes down another rider being that way. Reed and Dungey and RV2 can go like hell and then crash, so what . What does that get them?? Nothing.
Where is RC, aka #4, aka the GOAT when you need him!!
Props to these guys who put it on the line week in and week out so we can get out kicks! Sh*t happens and we can't wait to tune in next weekend!.
I had a buddy once whisky throttle over a berm, broke two of his wrists. You know you have a good woman when she wipes your a*s for several months! Now that reality boys and girls!
James Stewart the fastest crasher on the planet?
I think Stewart might have let off a touch because he saw reed coming to the right more than he exspected and I do agree that if Reed had not been there the bike could have launched like it did in daytona cause Stewwie had a wrist full of throttle.
Thanks REEDY!!James could have gotten hurt pretty bad there.And as for the other stuff with the arest man come on stewie was just having a lil fun with the lights and got budted no one in this crowd has ever had to much to drink and still driven that is a way worse thing to do than what stewart did.
You all are lame, what happened to banging bars and that racing? It's cool when CR"Squid"22 does it, it was cool when Bradshaw and Matiasevich took each other out in the early 90's. Ya'll wanna bad mouth JS7 winning or losing anyway, isn't that why ya'll WWE fans watch NASCAR, for the crashes. What makes this any different. If it was the other way around, the story would be JS7 slowed down so he deserved it. What a joke!
bnaw, you're an idiot. no one is better in the whoops than JS7. he gained three bike lengths on Reed in that whoop section, His only issue is that he tried to make up three bike lengths. Settle for two and blow by Reed in the next section. Simple!
CBS SUCKS!!!!!!
Hey "Stewart Rox" - Ok so now you are hating on the entire nation of Australia?(Yes that's how you spell it) All because you are a Stewart fan? Can't you see how stupid that makes you look? I'm betting you have never left your local town and wouldn't know squat about other parts of the world. Ignorance and small mindedness go hand in hand - and it equals sheer stupidity. Yes I'm using some big words here, and they are spelled correctly, so you probably won't comprehend. Enjoy living in a trailer park (or at least in dire poverty) for the rest of your life you complete and utter loser.
If Bubba and Reed were smart they would ride with each other on the track and if they are trying to get to the front do it togehter cause RV RD and TC are waiting for them to take one or each other out. Their pace is faster than the rest.
They should wait until Vegas to destroy one another.
2012 they should merge and form 722 Motorsports!!!
Imagine that?
I am not a Reed fan but he has shown alot more maturity this year than previous. He doesn't have all those excuses anymore and he seems to have gained respect for Stewart. Both these guys have got to stop getting caught up with eachother and race to the front.
From the true north fan(Canada) FULL THROTTLE EH!!!!
BillC, how RV can be your guy and you don't think Stewie took him out is beyond me. I just watched the race again today and watched the takeout another ten times. RV's front wheel gets BLOWN out from under him by about two feet to his left. Lifted off the ground and blown out sideways. There really is no such thing as a takeout if that isn't one. I think the reason Stewart screwed up in Dallas was that he was going for a similar move on Reed. His eyes got big and he juiced it up but then swapped. He almost bit it 3 or 4 other times as well. As for other guys, the whoops were tough. What I saw was lots of guys screw up so they backed it down. Stewge just keeps it pinned regardless of how close he comes to biting it. More and more he reminds me of the Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz.
Snooze, you think Chicken vs. Bradshaw was cool? That was the most embarassing and ridiculous display of idiocy ever. And I like Bradshaw. THAT move is what cost him the title that year. If he didn't do that he wouldn't have had to worry about choking in the end. If he wins that title, who knows how different his career may have gone. But you think it was cool....... I repeat, we are doomed.
RV needs to ask Reedy how to man up and deal with Stewie. Reedy has provided evidence that he is not afraid of Stewie. SX is not for little boys!

I'm not say'n a thing.............'cept he was fast for a few laps.........reed should have this bagged, now.
Very easy bkr, If RV did not cut down he does not get hit, SEE. If it was a take out move he gets hit no matter what he does so it was not a take out.

How can everyone say that Stewart's crash in the whoops was because he was riding out of control? Didn't Reed crash in the same whoop section on the last lap? Maybe Reed shouldn't ride over his head as well. I'm not huge fan of either rider, but this crash was neither one's fault. They both got messed up in a remarkably difficult whoop section, Reed just happened to be unlucky enough to be there when Stewart screwed up. You guys make it seem like Reed was intending to be there to "save" the fans.
And to blame Stewart for riding over his head; look at his season this year: he has crashed in how many events yet is STILL capable of finishing in the top 3? He has ground to make up and not a lot of time to do it. I would be wide open from the gate drop if I could be. Honestly, if you aren't pushing yourself to go faster than the previous lap then the race would be decided by fastest lap times.
on the Stewart RV matter that never seems to go away, it was unintentional, clearly. Here is the link, try to follow along, kiddies, starting at 3:44. Stewart was setting himself up to go way inside on the corner (see how he goes from the middle of the whoops to the far side?) At 3:57 Stewart is 4 feet away from RV, which rules out a block pass, cause you can't block pass from 4 feet away. After that, however, is where the accident happens. RV squares up the corner to get past the lappers, but Stewart is already on the inside of the corner when RV squares it up and they have nowhere to go. Unless Stewart knew ahead of time that RV was going to square that corner (which is impossible, because then also would have known not to pull over those 2 off-duty cops) it was an accident and no one is to blame.
link is here, my mistake: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyLCUOIo89g&playnext=1&list=PL4C492FA50F78AC28
B-KR, I was being totally sarcastic and making reference to how it seems the majority like and accept the shinanagans that’s going on between JS7 and C”Squid”R22, hence WWE reference and Bradshaw’s era. Don’t get me wrong both guys are great and can put it down, but I can do without the take-outs and cheap shots. This mentality of “if I’m not going to win, you’re not either”, will get someone hurt and shorten careers. Definitely not good for the sport.
@SmartypantS, Tommy is super hung. I know why everyone thinks that now... He`s very well-endowed compared to "average", and huge by any standards. People never stop talking about the size of male celebrities. Stupid, if you ask me...
