I got to be on the track with these two Rickey was on a 80 and buba was on a 60 back in 1996 at gator back in Gainesville Florida I was on a 125s B class and they would send them out in are practice cuz they were so fast I never forget when those two passed me I couldn't believe what I was seeing the 167 of Rickey passed me didn't hurt my feelings to bad😮 but when the 259 of Stewart passed me on the big table top whipping it and a ripping tear off i wanted to just 😢 and he was only like 4 seconds behind Rickey .boy I got a reality check that day those two represented Florida riders to the fullest .

Thanks for the great motocross history!

Nice video. I miss the days

I was there at Glen Helen , EPIC RACE !!

LOL

Imagine what his competitors were thinking. How’s this happening? Probably affected them mentally, in a negative sense. Power vs. crazy Stewart skill.

We all know that feeling of the tank slapper, i bet his ar5e was twitching like a rabbits nose 🤣

2 strikes are just better and faster bikes. That will never ever change!

What is the point of scrubbing?

He rides like Tomac… I think. Ragged, fully pinned and balls out. I’d have to ask Professor Bailey - he dissects techniques and body movement along with psychology.

Thanks, Eli racing is so awesome!

Can't even understand your mixed english

et3はとても良いライダー ラロッコのように怪我なくキャリアを遂げてほしい。

The fastest on earth!👍

Wow..

Do you have permission to use this footage comrade?

Is that thumbnail real?

He can out corner anyone out there. He's made more passes on the outside than most folks have made anywhere

👍👍

The way he produced traction to cut down or clear a jump is just unbelievable!

🏍️💪

the season is still long herlings is on fire #2024 Champ

The US open first race was in 2000 the raced inside the MGM grand hotel.

There is nothing to talk about. Savadgy wasn't able to win the race. If he hadn't let Eli go, Tomac would have passed him in 5 minutes.

Nice 💪

It’s been like 4 years since I’ve seen your videos!

Stewart and rc in their prime with herlings would be a good battle

Two strokes rule 💪👍🔥 !

That is all he rode in that class except for one round at the end of his 125 career. And he said it felt like 'cheating' when he was racing with a 250F under him.

I don't think James was the best rider. He was the craziest. He was legit willing to die on that bike to get it done.

Roger DeCoster told James before the race not to race Everts. Stewart didn't agree but followed orders. Thats what created the rift between deocoster and stewart and we never saw stew at the mxdn again.

Yup he was young then. How did it go when he got to use a 450 against Ricky Charmicheal on a Honda 250 2 stroke?🤣

🇩🇪🤙

👍👍👍

it is very clear that James' bike here is inferior to that of his opponents'. it's just that James' skills and talent is way superior than his opponents. James is an alien.

RV had a lot going on when he came over. He had family problems I believe he was trying to get some relief from, and then he had problems with the bike setup and how different it was from what he was on in the States. And honestly I believe he was already burnt out, he just wanted to say he raced in the MXGP’s I guess. But he definitely wasn’t the same guy who raced the years before.

Nice video, I love motocross 👍

I miss these times so much. Villopoto, Stewart, Carmichael, Dungey…

I remember 2006 MXON Race 2 in Matterlay Basin battle between young Cairoli and RV on 250’s. That was awesome

If Ryan's version had arrived in 2013, everyone would have been ruined, but we have what we have. I lost interest in racing, which is why the results are like this...

I don't know if it's the domination we like or just the sheer grit and determination. For me it's the latter.

5:45 he was on a borrowed bike.

I just don’t get why you had to add your own commentary to this video? The professional commentators are far more knowledgeable and qualified to inform everyone about the nuances of the racing happening. I couldn’t even watch it fully because of this. 👎🏿

I think the slightly less power of the kawi' 125 played into the hands of one of the greatest , Less power means less wheel spin

To all the 4 stroke fools saying 125 could not beat 250 or 250 could not beat 450 bite this, no 450 4 stroke could ever keep.up with 500 2 stroke ever as 250 2 stroke as fast if not faster

JMO, but a 125 2 stroke is the most fun dirt bike there is. Plus now that I'm old, it's not nearly as tiring to throw around.

Yo I can’t even lie ima Honda guy cr’s crf’s but it’s facts that Kawasaki is still a great bike and have made powerful bikes for decades the KX 125 to the KX 500. This is example of a goat rider who takes the 125 2smoker and embarrasses the kfx 250 4strokes😂💪🥇got a crf450r and a 04 xr 400r but these vids got me thinking about getting a 2smoker💯 again either a KX 250 this time or maybe a yz250 we will see but yeah dude for sure the real deal

James Bubba Stewart is a badass.

2-strokes are for men. I hate farty 4-strokes, they sound like refried beans.

James rode every bike right in its best power range didn’t matter what it was!
