Ok, so he dialed a jump on his " own " track ??
Yep, he sure did! So if he invited you(biker143) to his "own" track, could you do it? Probably not!! Stop hating! Geez!!
not a stew fan but he used to quad things like that on a kx'125, and those were in the races not at his track.
It's impressive for sure, I would love to see more raw clips from testing from all the top level guys.
I wonder if Honda will get KDub's suspension set up better this year in order to properly blitz over the #7 when it's on the ground.
haha good one yzchris76!
I'm seriously afraid JS7 is going to run away with it this year. I don't want him to because I hate his attitude, but the dude has got some serious skills and he is out for redemption!
Stewart Is always impressive
He's the most dynamic rider these days, always finds the coolest lines!
@ Kxpwr&Bigbear;, I think you both are seriously under estimating RV2. Yes Stewart is GREAT and yes he has ridiculous speed, so does the RED Head and he spends FAR less time on the GROUND!
Nobody knows who will win it this year, but this guy has about as good of a shot as anybody to make it happen, those who say he has no chance are fools!! We shall see!
Every video ive seen of stewart so far he's his normal fast self in the straights but slow in the corners, realllly slow.
its gonna be another awesome season in 2012. im cheering for villopoto. james is gonna be a threat and so are dungey and reed. rv has proven before that he can handle the pressure. thats were i think he had james beat
why everyone hating? j7 is a good guy and rider....move videos please!
impressive....Windham can float like that also...seen it myself ...it took perfect setup at the turn coming into the section....empty track.. no problem...race situation.. skechy....had he really been racing, he may have completely blown that whoop section...I like the way he cracks the throttle when airborne to stay right in the meat of the power...overall opinion....dudes part animal.. part lunatic...has mad skills...and i like him
Too funny Red54m, but isn't this the first full season RV has completed? I think he's been on the ground quite a bit himself. Not to take anything away from him or any other racer, (but to be fair to them as well) every hardworking motocross racer crashes. KW, RV, RD, CR22, TC, Jessica, Ashley, RC, 800, JG, and JS7 have all crashed doing their best and giving all that they have, not only for themselves, but for the fans as well. That's why we go watch these ladies and guys race cause they can do only what we can dream of doing, but that's okay, cause crashing SUCKS!!!
whats wrong with you guys his corner speed is no good what!!!!! he is one of the fastest of all time in the corners. there isnt that many people in the world who can make that section you will all see in january. js7 is good for the sport
I am really starting to like Stewart and I have hated him in the past. He does things his way and if you dont like it, so what, he doesnt care. He has fun doing what he loves and makes alot of money in the process, more power to him.
I think Stewart doesn't even realize the bike has brakes.
Slow in the corners....? You are the guy I love to sit behind at the supercorss.. I get to hear all about how you raced your buddy on your all black Banshee up some sand hill (dune goon) and almost won but looped that beast half way up and ended up in the hospital cuz you installed this new twin pipe on it.LMAO.."slow in the corners" Dude where do you think he is passin everyone. BREAKING NEWS!! Villo, Reed, Canard, and Dung all gonna quad that thing every lap bra....So why is he still puttin it to em??? mmmmm..CORNERS!!! BRAAPPPP..Every pass he makes is a corner.. So I guess he needs to look up and keep his elbows out...what a joke retard..mistakes kept him dirty and titleless..Look for some redemption boys..Bubba is gonna kill it..(In the turns too)
If..if..if..if his issues last year were the bike setup and that is now fixed, then, I think he will win at least half of the races. Not what I want to happen cause I want it to be good racing, but he seems to have reserve speed that can come out if he is feeling good. Hope I'm wrong and RV or the others can match him....just don't have a good feeling about it though.
P.S. Villo munches dirt sandwiches just as much as Bubba..They both need to cut earth out of there diet...Canard loves a good mud burrito too!! Dungey stays away from crashin..Maybe a bunch of 3rds and 4ths (and keepin his chain on that enduro) willl lead to a title
slow in the corners compared to his competition that is. Man you really didnt like my comment. Are you alright man, You didnt go and punch holes in the walls of your trailer did you? You have alot of anger built up in you to make up that story about me having a quadtard! He passes alot of people in the corners because his laptimes are quicker and he block passes people in the corners, he doesnt make his time in the corners, he makes it on the straights and jumps by scrubing, blitzing the whoops and doing quads where everyone else is tripeling you idiot. villopoto and dungey have much better corner speed than stewart, thats what i was trying to say squid boy.
bemblaster you dont know shit stewart is fast all over the track . were not mad thats just stupid he is the fastest man out there and the most fun to watch
JS7 fan or not: makes it exciting every single race (could throw it way at any second); most talented guy to ever throw a leg over the bike; has a personality and isn't afraid to show it; and, has probably brought more non-riding fans to the sport of motocross then any other rider in history. You don't have to be a fan but give the dude some credit... oh, and does stuff like in the vid...
must agree bermblaster sir you are an idiot. Hes not going to blow up that berm he was focusing on the quad
ok, im done arguing with a bunch of squid teenagers on this site. Give me a freakin break, i wasnt just referring to this video, i was talking in general RV and RD and CR all have better corner speed, meaning approaching the corner, mid corner, and exiting the corner. Stewart does it good, but his competition does it better. Calm down already, im not a JS hater by any means, ill agree that i love to watch him and he is amazing at what he does. If you people still dont understand what im tring to say then there is no need to comment back, you just need to study his riding alittle more and learn that way.
Bermblaster,,,,as in traded my tricked out Banshee for a Blaster and some cash to keep the power on this week..I was watchin 2011 SX on DEVO all day in my trailer... suuuuuueyy.... I tell you what boy!!! Stewie made every pass in a corner..may look like a block pass cuz he enters the thing 4th gear tapped... Im not mad Ive been drinkin Pabst Blue Ribbon in my RV all day...left the house went to the truckstop and bought my daily neccesity...1 tall can of Pabst, 1 pack of beef jerky, 1 pack of smokes, and a lotto scratcher..Its called the white trash deal of the day.. got all 4 for only 9.99.. A.K.A. the all american meal at 7-11..Going with the Blue slurpee and slim jim meal tomorrow...then gonna do wheelies up and down my street til the cops come...Suuueeyyyyy
it will be a sad day for me when this kid quits
if you asked some of the top pros who has the fastest corner speed js7 name would come up corners is where you make up time he is 3rd all time for wins daaaaaa

haha good one!
I wish I could quad a jump like that!
Even if its "on my own track"........................
2012 Gonna be great in MX/SX
James stewart will do all his passing this year in the corners. He has the best corner speed i have ever seen. Every pass he makes is in the corners. He is faster than RV in the corners, faster than dungey, and faster than reed. He makes no mistakes in the corners. James stewart is awesome in corners.
There now you guys can go whack it.
im not a js7 fan but he does have good corner speed but the corners seem to be his weakness at time to. L&M was setting up his bike way to stiff causing him to slide out in the corners. i think james will be a contender but im cheering for RV he has the momentum and is a crazy dood. kinda reminds me of someone from the past hmmmmmmm was his name the goat? :D
you said he was slow in the corners he cant be slow if he wins races my opinion he is the fastest
Actually i don't care how he corners..LOL..Braaapppp..This is all the AMA's fault for not giving me any fresh moto..I am so bored of team photo shoot posts Im going crazy...A1 can't come fast enough.. 2012 is gonna roost 2011...Lets do this!!!!I want some live racing..Just hooked up the 3D flatty with the glasses..PS in my 1964 winnebago on pallet jacks..
It's gonna suck when stewart quits...I remember back in the 125 nationals stewart smoking reed, stewarts slows down, waits for reed to catch up lol lol lol then takes off leaving reed only to watch stewart walk away...he he he he????????????
Pretty impressive when even you can build the perfect jump face and landing and set up the approach 100 times before you go for it like that. I can do stuff on my own track that I cannot even attempt on other tracks. That is part of being a racer....being able to put together a new track in the exact same time frame that your competitors have to do it in. I would bet that if you put JS7 on Reeds track he wouldn't be quite as impressive, and vice versa.
Either way, it is impressive to see and I still think James is an idiot felon.
If I hate James, but still root for Malcolm, does that still make me a racist?
you dont go 24-0 without having blistering corner speed. and before you say he had useless competition that year he was still beating everyone upwards of 40seconds slow competition or not thats a spanking!
Redneckrider wrote: "If I hate James, but still root for Malcolm, does that still make me a racist?"
Unquestionably.
And I got out the old stopwatch and timed a couple corners from round 2, since they had a lot of 'ceiling cam' action at Phoenix. RV was often a lil faster through his turns.
mmmmm LET ME see. Last yr JS7 was on a barking BRONCO and at one point was only 4 points away towards the end with all the crashes and the most winningless streak of his carees so The answer is YES he is the FAVORITE for 2012. The most pressure is on RV2. Defending a title is harder than attaining it. RV2 has the monkey on his back.
Did anyone else see little bro taking notes???? If he studys hard we all might see a Stewart sweep of the podium.
I just get a kick of people trashing each other here who cant even spell!!!
Nice, would be more impressive on a 250 2-stroke. Everybody's wanting to be like Windham these day's I guess. lol
Porcupine- your smoking crack. JS7 is by far the fastest in the corners, its pretty widely known his corner speed lacks partially to his super stiff settings in the forks. Dungey is #1 in corner speed. Im not a particular riders fan except J-Dub, but I enjoy watching Stewie ride on the edge, which he does well IMO.
Redneck Rider- you need to look a some more vids of James, just about every SX race he is pulling off lines no ones else even attempts and if they do, he is always the first to do so.
Man alot of you dont know a fucc!ng thing about SX, just use your eyes and ears instead of your mouth saving yourself the embarrassment.
oops I meant JS7 is by far not the fastest in the corners
@ bermblaster,, seriously,,, I think you need to watch a little more SX...
@Red54m. I'm sorry to remind you of this because I'm a big RV2 fan, BUT 2011 was the first year on a 450 that he was able to race the whole season. He was on the ground alot those other few years. My belief is the man who keeps the rubber side down the most this year (whips not included) will win the championship.
@everyone.... Need I remind you all that he was doing quads in main events and was walking away from RV and the gang each lap. Of course he's going to crash, what rider doesn't? Look at RV, put him out of an entire season, Reed rolled up the windows in nationals and was pretty much done for the year. Trey, well he just crashed again ending another season. And if you don't push, well you'll end up like Dungey with 1 supercross win to your name last season.
The fact is, Stewart is an exciting rider. The only reason we see him crash so much, is because the camera is following him, being up front. No one sees when Andrew Short (love the guy) tips over in 10th. All 5 guys are fast but they all crash. Let's let the records speak for themselves... Stewart 3rd all time SX wins, 24-0 season... He must have stayed up every now and again I'm guessing.
@Twistedwrist - I watch a lot of James as I hit most of the SX races each year with my business and I also hit about 80% of the nationals. Been there, done all of that. James doesn't usually hit different lines, as much as just different combos of jumps in rhythm sections usually. He gets power to the ground better than most and better drive up the jump faces and into whoop sections to pull off what he does. His corner speed is really good but not really faster than the other top guys these days. James simply gets the power to the ground better than the other top guys just like RC did. How many of his crashed happened in the corners last year? A lot of them did. I think to count or time your corner speed, you have to actually make it through the corner clean.
He is still fun to watch even though I cannot stand the guy personally. He needs to take 'cool lessons' from his little brother, who is not a felon.
Some of you guys keep saying RV2 is on the ground a lot. He had a, as in (1) big crash in 2010 that took him out of the title chase (Supercross) He did not even have a crash that took him out of the Motocross title, he wrenced an already bad knee that needed to be surgically repaired. He won the first National and hung it up. So the guy missed 2 seasons with 2 injuries.
Perhaps he is more injury prone, but he DOES NOT crash more than JS7. Yes, Stewart could have one the title last year (without so many crashes) That is what I said and I can't help you if that is what you want to debate!
Historically speaking Stewart crashes more than Villo! That is one of the reasons so many people like him (Checkers or Wreckers Attitude) That has to change in order for him to keep stock piling titles.
I think the fact that they (JS7 and RV2) have about the same amount of career titles and Villo is 4 years or so younger makes my point!
Wow, hardly any negative comments for Stewart. What happened to all the folks saying "who cares about this idiot??", "what a waste of talent", "go make your reality show" or "we don't need this guy in our sport"???? Honestly, I didn't think all the hate would go away until he started dominating supercross.
@Red54m, I agree with you, but not your last sentence. You seem to forget that JS was racing against RC,,, and RV was not,, right?
Hey Redneckrider!! Quit being such a redneck.......Go Bubba!!
LOL, yeah, he's totally washed up : )
Almost as fast as a police officer chasing... nevermind
If I could somehow pull that quad off, I'm sure I would blow that corner haha.
@uneducatedredneckrider,different lines includes different combos of jumps, lol, redneck, quit trying to sound like u know what ur talking about.
Your "gets the power to the ground better", statement is a bunch of malarkey, thats some NASCAR terminology. MFer (bubba) just twist his wrist farther then others. He crashes in the corners because he washes out the front end FROM IT BEING SO STIFF< LIKE I ALREADY STATED, incompetence is a biyatch isnt it redneck, go fishing or something.
and you all go the hek on with the felon comments, he's now qualified to appear in Jeezys latest album now, "The Black Flyin Felon". Big deal with the flashing lights deal? fawk no, to you drama mama's obviously it is.
This is why JS7 is good for the sport, there is no one who generates the kind of overwhelming responses to any post concerning that rider. Sure there are a lot of haters, but almost every major team in a sport, "Cowboys", "Yankees", "Lakers", or drivers "Junior", etc. etc. have legions of fans and haters, usually more fans, which generates the haters. Therefore the press generated is all good for the overall of each sport. I personally will be sad whenever he finally hangs it up, as with CR22, RV2, RD5, and every other great rider we have today. So to the haters, quit your crying you bunch of panty waste bithces. Each of you would have probably made more stupid decisions in your early to mid 20's than you did if you were loaded with more money than you could jump over. If you say you wouldn't have, then your dishonest with yourself, because you believe that you never drove your car home from a binge drinking session once and never got caught, or went out to the strip club and gave your hard earned $100 part time paycheck so you could look at some naked titties. Oh no each of you are perfect beyond your years, dumb ass jealous bastards!!!!
Stew is going to smoke the field... If he doesn't crash out..
Good Lord? Seriously people....the guy puts out a 20sec vid of him doing a somewhat impressive jump and now he's gonna runaway with the championship? Other dudes should just put their shit back in the trucks and go home I suppose.
First off he's probably ridden that track so much he's bored and is just looking for new lines to keep it fun. Secondly I'd have been more impressed to see a 2 min video of him putting in hard laps at race speed as if he's actually preparing for something rather than another publicity show! JS Entertainment better become JS Racing real soon or he's in for another tough winter.
BTW.....anyone seen any video of RV lately? Nope.....he's a pro who is laying low, training hard and preparing for what may be an even better series than last year's SX Championship....unless of course the title is awarded to Bubba before A1.
@Ripdown,, its pretty funny to say " JS Entertainment better become JS Racing real soon or he's in for another tough winter," to someone who makes roughly $10 million a year,, hahahaha... I know what you mean,, I think...
Whether you like him or not, nobody can say that James Stewart doesn't generate interest in the sport. Look how many comments have been left in response to a 13 second video!
Well, put me down as a hater and lover. I love to watch The fastest man on the planet eat Sh!t! Villo whiped him up last year on the crappy Kawi. Villo has been a monster on the new bike and is gonna tear Stewart up. I seem to remember Stewart making a quad at Vegas, then K-dub started doing it and Stewart crumbled. He did his typical punch it until I crash thing. Got news for some of you....it doesn't take talent to hold it open until you wad up!
Guess we will all see soon enough.
My prediction.....Villo will win supercross and the fastest quitter on the planet will develop an excuse to not race the nationals. You heard it here first.
@redrider24,, Oh, I see,, RV had a "crappy Kawi" , but JS cant use that excuse about his Yam, right ?? At least be fair,, ok ?
Not an excuse. Villo won the championship. Stewart didn't. Stewart had the opportunity to make a different choice this year and he didn't. Tell me where I am wrong. Do you disagree that Villo's riding improved significantly when he got on the new bike? Seems pretty obvious to me. Villo will be on the new bike for SX just like the Monster energy cup. Do you remember how that turned out? Funny, I don't remember Stewart being there. What was his EXCUSE again?
For all you Stewart lovers out there....is James still the fastest man on the planet?
I'd love to ask him personally what crow tastes like. Bawahahahaha!
Let the tears begin!
@redrider24,, JS did NOT have a chance to make a choice.. Suzuki backed out... Get your facts staright... No, I do agree wthat RV's riding got better with the new bike.. I guess I dont understand where you think that I dis-agreed with that ?? Also, who cares about the FMOTP thing... Get over it dude..
@ redrider24
Sorry bud.....I said the day Bubba Trooper had his JGR intro press conference that he wouldn't race the Nationals.....I guarantee you he'll take his traveling carnage show to the oval tracks next summer!
@ mxmofo1
My bad, I should have elaborated. I was presuming JS was interested in winning and not just money.......no doubt his side show, and band of merry meatheads will continue to generate lots of money.....
@Ripdown,, Last I checked, the more you win, the more money you make,, correct ?? I think things have changed a little in the JS camp the last 6 months or so.
@mxmofo, yeah and Villo races against Stewart (the fastest man on the planet) Head to head one series, Villo-1 Stewie-0, Stewart may win Supercross title, he may not? Talent pool is deep. It is ashame TC41 won't have a healthy day 1 start.
The real truth will come when they show down outdoors.! I am sure Stewart wants to reclaim the FMOTP title but he is going to have his freakin work cut out for him if everyone stays healthy!
Damn that's sick......in all fairness though I don't see how doing a cool jump in your backyard at the only track you've been riding for a year makes him faster than everyone else. Hopefully he's actually training his ass off because we all know his competition is. He's been doing gnarly stuff like this his whole career, this is nothing new and nothing to hand a title away over. If sick rhythm sections won championships JS would be undefeated....so there goes that theory out the window. We're going to find out who can keep things together when it counts this SX season for sure. I predict early season wins by JS because he absolutely has to to be taken seriously now. All the while RV will stalk him quietly collecting points and keeping him in sight. As soon as there is pressure applied, RV takes it every day of the week.
yep, the pool is deep,, but almost every year, some of the guys we think can swim, sink to the bottom.
Gotta hand it to Bubbles. He can practice a jump and then go for it better than anyone. Unfortunately for him that doesn't equate to race wins. It's cool to be flashy for a few laps but I'd rather see someone ride consistently and win... this is why Bubbles will never be considered one of the all time greats.
to tomktm:
so what you are saying is that stewart isn't one of the motocross/supercross all time greats? did you hit your head or something?
@tomktm,,, ahhhh,, I think he's already considered as one of the all time greats.. Have you been living on Mars for awhile ?? Also,, remember this was just a quick little video that someone shot and posted it,, and it was practice, not a race..
MXmofo...He had a choice. Do I need to remind you of the Chad Reed story of the last year? Stewart has enough money to ride what he wants when he wants. The "I had to ride this bike" is an excuse YOU are making for him. The "I can't ride the Nationals because my team won't let me" is an excuse.
Didn't you accuse me of making excuses for Villo? Well, Villo isn't making excuses and neither am I. Can't say the same for you and your boy.
Fair warning...being a Stewart fan is sure to lead to some disappointment. However, given his amazing jumping ability there is surely a spot for him in freestyle motocross.
I tell you what, some of the poeple that post on here just absolutely amaze me. My 2nd grader knows more than some of you guys..
This is one of my favorite quotes of all time ----
"this is why Bubbles will never be considered one of the all time great."
@redrider24,,, you said ---- "Stewart has enough money to ride what he wants when he wants." Ahhhh, not if the Factory is not willing to give him parts...... C'mon,, think man !!!!!
you guys are mental he allways has fastest lap times. he is the only rider to run with rc most 125 wins of all time but hes slow in the turn. idiots
js7 makes a video and he is the talk of the town he is good for the sport
Wow, a quad. Wouldn't it be a whole lot better if you'e able to make the next corner and continue the lap? I didn't realize he actually PRACTICES missing corners. Is the purpose of doing this to scare the competition away? James will be the same James on the same bike except he'll have Pirelli to blame this year. RV is not the same RV that won the title. He had a few months of intense battle outdoors pushing his speed to new levels, while James was home practicing quads. Between RV and James, RV is the one with the most improvement from SX 2011. James peaked in 2008-2009 and has been losing ground since. RV is still improving. K-Dub said it, we haven't seen RV's full potential yet. Sucks for RV fans as they'll only get to see him for a few laps in the beginning and the last few laps before the checkers. Unless he gets a bad start, which it doesn't seem happens anymore either. But keep talking James up, Stewgies, only a few more weeks before we get to see what reality exists for SX 2012.

hmmmm, 600 points is preeettty tuff to beat, I mean for especially someone with no cornerspeed, doesn't train and blah-blah, blah-blah, blah-blah.
2008 = No Competition... But It's still a tough ass feat in its self to go undefeated. With or without top competitors there to challenge.. I liked Stewie his first few years as a pro, He started getting big headed, then he turned into a complete ass sac when he started working with Brooks and now he's starting to become his old self again (back when he first started). The guy can ride a dirt bike, You can't deny that... But he has had those moments where even his greatest fan can't deny that he's done something completely and outrageously stupid...
chad reed won two championships with no competion sorry make that 3
I'd like to see JS7 ride a 2 stoke in sx!
RV is the man. james makes excuses for not winning he isnt "the fastest man on the planet" anymore. RV is. james will be a contender dont get me wrong and RV will be pressuring him i think james will crack and RV will have 2 supercross titles to his name. james has won titles and blah blah blah. james couldnt beat carmichael throughout the season because he couldnt handle the pressure. He didnt win championships on the 450 until carmichael left. chad isnt a competition for james. RV is alot like carmichael. I james can eat RV then i will hand it to him that he over came the pressure but i dont think its gonna happen. GO RV1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Spoke759.........are you really impressed by Stew's 600 pts in 08? Look at the rest of the names in that class...haha. The 526 RV put up last year against RD and CR is far more impressive.
I asked the question a month or so ago, mainly cause I wasn't really sure but you just answered it for me. While Stew was impressive with his 24 - 0 seasons....who was his competition and what have they done since then? Answer, his comp was sub par and none of them have done anything since.
spoke 759 Bro.....you are reeeaaalllyy reaching here. I mean Tim Ferry finished second??? Yeah there's a household top step of the podium name, are you 12?
@twistedwrist.
I find it hard to believe that someone with your basic background in NASCAR doesn't really understand that getting power to the ground better equated to more speed. Watch James scrub. He gets the power back on the ground better than anyone. Watch him accelerate towards the jump faces and out of corners. Less wheel spin means the power is getting to the ground better. RC had it too. That is why those two guys have the records that they have.
Stewie forks are always too stiff but that also gives him a bit of extra lift on the take off of jump faces. This allows him to clear some obstacles that others won't do. The trade off for him is that on the Yamaha it is too stiff in the corners, and thus, washes out more easily because the front end bias that the Yamaha has is not transferring into braking power in the corners because the forks are not compressing quite enough. That means less traction, and more wash outs. Pretty simple. Millimeters matter. Yamaha changed the actual position of the motor (more upright) by a few degrees to try and alleviate some of the front end push. that many riders were experiencing. Especially James. People purchase aftermarket triple clamps to change the offset (and other reasons) to help the front end corner better. Usually going to a smaller offset to shorten the wheelbase, as well as slightly change the steering head angle. A lot of the time when changing the offset, you will also need to raise or lower the fork in the triple clamp a bit too. Millimeters matter.
Try this (if you actually own a motorcycle). Have someone sit on your bike, hold the front brake and compress your forks. Note that the steering head angle of the triple clamp changes just a millimeter or two. Same thing happens coming into the corner hard on the front brakes. If the fork doesn't compress enough to change the steering head angle, your front end will slide out easier. You can get the same sort of effects using different front tires and tubes with different sidewall stiffness, and heavier tubes versus lighter ones. All of this combined with fork springs, valving, stiction, oil viscosity and height, heat (warming air expands, oil thins), and air build up in the forks affect the transfer of kinetic energy to the front tires contact point with the ground. James gets better drive power to the ground. Not front end braking power.
As far as your statement about me being uneducated goes, I would put my engineering background, financial status, business acumen, as well as my national level MX mechanic experience up against anyone on this board, any day.
The FELON remarks aimed at James are EARNED. The reason impersonating a police officer is considered a felony is because of people like Gary Ridgway (The Green River Killer) who was responsible for killing 71 women here in WA State. That is how he picked up many women (by impersonating police officers). James used the same tactic (impersonating a police officer) in his little prank, which proves he is an adolescent idiot...and now a felon too. I would think that you, as a Christian, would at least try to look at that episode realistically.
BTW - My name was chosen because I live in the woods on 25 acres. Not because I am ignorant or uneducated. I have all of my own teeth, and fishing is too boring.
Have a nice day!
Redneck rider. YOU OWNED twisted throttle. twisted throttle, this is motocross. not nascar. if you wanta talk nascar go somewere else
No matter what you think about Stewart we will all be bummed the day he quits the sport.
You bring up a good point, BK-R. "Stewges" is a better name than "Stewtards" or even "Stewpids." (You actually said "Stewgies," but I'm pretending you didn't.)
Yes, Windham said Villopoto hadn't yet fulfilled his potential--about a year ago. RV's kicked a lot of ass since then (although I'll admit he will get a lot better; I believed RV was the 'next Carmichael' before his injury, and I believe it even more now). But if Stewart rides like he did '07-'09, which I think he's still plenty capable of if he's wearing his blinders, he'll be fine.
For all you haters. James Stewart is the best, so enjoy him while he is here. Whether He wins championships or not. He is the best rider this sport has ever seen. Ricky is awesome too. Raw speed though. Stewart.
@Redneckrider.. Interesting posts. Like the techinical feedback you gave.
Big Diff. between a Pro rider and a pro mechanic, say what u want about James The Whip Artist Stewart Nobody and I mean NOBODY can ride a bike like him Demi God on the bike, haters fall back on my nut sackz
@DARB: There you have it. James is the best rider this sport has ever seen according to you. Yet he has just as many titles as RV does right now when he is just entering his peak. James has been at it for 10 full years now and has 5 titles. At this point RC was hanging it up with 15 titles so are you kidding me with this "best the sport has seen"? Since there are many riders with more titles than James I really don't see how he is the best ever. He'd have to win at least 5 more titles to even make it an argument. James really doesn't generate the comments.......stupid statements like him "being the best ever" do. As for doing things on a bike no one else can do, there are plenty of FMXers that can do things he can't so let's stop that nonsense. Doesn't make them SX champs.
@Spoke759: Ferry 2nd, Byrne 3rd, Cody Cooper 4th, Wey 5th in 2008 MX. Kinda makes you realize how long ago that is in MX years even though it is a relatively short time ago. Fast forward to 2011 and Wey is 11th and Byrne is 12th. I expect they will be happy to match those finishes in 2012 MX. Cooper went back to New Zealand when the new blood came up and pushed him back. Funny thing is, there are times that year where 2nd place wasn't all that far behind, go check out some of the times.
How dare you all speak out against JS7 with hard facts and history on your side...........you're supposed to just blindly accept and repeat that he's the best ever you racists.
@retardcross. james is NOT the best. yes he is one of the fastest this sport has ever seen but he is not the best. how can you be the best when you have only won 2 supercoss titles and 1 outdoor title. explain to me how he is the best when you have guys like carmichael that at james point in his career had 15 titles. so tell me please retardcross how JAMES STEWART is the best?he is the best ever lites rider but when he moved up to the 450 he hasent done anything just crashed whined because he didnt win
@mxchampion,, I think Retardcross was being sarcastic. You might want to re-read his post... After you do that, take a moment and reflect on how angry you got for no reason, other than your hatred for a Pro Motocross Rider..
@mxchampion..........please refer to mxmofo1's post.
Dude can jump. Race the outdoors and THAT will be impressive.
Well you shouldnt post retarded post retard cross. i mean come on i didnt get mad. i just asked for a answer how he could be the best.
@Didierlotsyeng, and @mxchampion THANKS FOR READING THE ENTIRE POST!
@Retardcross: I love the smell of sarcasm in the morning!
@ICUP: Wow, get Stewies nuts off of your chin already.
IMO....THE ONLY REASON VILLO WON SX AND MOTO IS BECAUSE OF HIS CORNER SPEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And that is why Stewie won so many lites races....the reason he could triple and quad when others couldn't. Stewie will need to pick up his corner speed if he wants to beat RV this year indoors. I'd love to see him on a 350 indoors. I think he is afraid to really twist the grip on those 450 beasts. Dude runs that 450 in the meat and he'd be creating a whole new level of dangerous in SX. 5 jumps cleared!?!?!?!?!?! I've seen him LOOKING BEFORE!!!!!! It's coming. He'll make a step on out of a triple table. Just wait.
Gibbs will have that suspension set so weeet for him that every FACTORY will be having them work on their stuff.
Lets see how close I am come SX season.
if stewie rides like he can nobody can beat him except him self. i have never seen so many posts. is he good for the sport or what i cant wait to rub it in your faces haters after vegas
Don't know who's gonna be champion this year, but one thing is certain, this guy is gonna be setting the lines around the track once again!!! It's good to see someone doing things a little different for a change...
what happened to Jairtime ....I think he has turned into @mxchampion @redneckrider @ diderlong .. Three goobers sounding like fools !!!!
@Preston - Exactly what have I typed that would make you believe I was a racist moron like Jairtime, or what has been foolish? I always back up my statements with logic and supporting evidence if you ever care to actually read them
Not a big fan of Stewart due to some of his bad on-track decisions, but it is hard not to watch someone who is that talented! He consistently pulls off combos and jumps that other riders only dream of..... and who said he is slow in the corners??? really??? Here's to a good upcoming SX season... Get well soon Trey, we need you out there!!!
If he isnt the best then he is definetly the fastest. The most exciting to watch, and set's the tone at the races.
Did anyone notice the new tank and shroud combo he has, looks like a test version i hear thay are making him so it won't feel so wide, he's gonna kill it this year, i'm predicting 8 win's and the championship oooooh!!!!
Be fair Redneckrider... there aren't many on here that understand logic and supporting evidence.
All this bench racing is hilarious! We truly don't know anything until the racing starts. ...and I can't wait.
