James Stewart's Biggest Crashes

[@GTFPOB]

That was painful to watch. Absolute savage. He either crashed or won. Nobody can ever say he didn't give it 100% every time he threw his leg over a bike!!

[@Ralphie-y9f]

If he would of learned to just let off a bit he’d of win 6-7 titles,Fastest man alive Bubba

[@HeavyK_MXB]

He was the fastest guy anytime he was on the track, that actually makes Carmichael more impressive considering he never lost a title to Stewart that they both finished

[@jimjohnson1304]

This man was ready to give everything to win. Man do I miss watching him.

[@ajnfl4365]

I used to get my flatbed unloaded by this guy and once he had a Stewart jersey on and I asked where he got that and how did he know about James. He said, He's my cousin and this is one of his old jersey's. I told him of my love for the sport and the next time I showed up he had a signed poster with my name from James. Good people!

[@TrickRacing]

Then you woke up

[@innerfire-graham9016]

James was the Man! Go fast, crash hard, no fear.

[@richardkey4289]

Anyone who wonders why he retired should watch this, he's had more crashes than Carmichael/ Villopoto/ Dungey combined. Dude raced on the edge ,& crossed over it a lot

[@user-sp8eb6iz7f]

Really?, How many crashes did he have? How many did Villo, Dungy and the Goat have?

[@telefunkenyou47]

Naw, some people just get off on seeing Stewart fail. And everyone knows Dungey took him out.

[@ataiken8406]

No shit, he has to be in pain all the time, there is no way they did proper recovery back then. I feel for him so much. Much respect to him, tough SOB. Good gracious

[@panzerfaust7476]

He rode on the edge and above his ability; thus he always crashed. Dungey did not take him out on purpose. Stewart cut down early in the corner. Stewart probably did have more crashes than those riders combined. They did proper recovery back then. Have you ever seen Bubba's World? He had to use a machine that was healing his broken bone faster. He was able to tolerate the pain because he was on meth (Adderall).

Always riding over his head. Always pushing. Love how Ricky is always disappointed cuz he knows only Stewart could run with him. Reed would have been even more of a superstar is he pushed like this

[@MyName-yl2nc]

I swear and Carmichael is not a big boy we was extremely fit I'm sure but only like 5 foot something

[@easternyellowjacket276]

James was fast. Fearless. On the razors edge. And slide down it often crashing out of control. Carmichael was fast. Fearless. On the razors edge. And in control.

[@95ZR580]

This dude had some spectacular crashes .

[@brodrickrobertson3459]

The fact that he always rode just as hard and fast after every brutal crash makes him who he is and was.

[@1176hambone]

Looking at his win stats and watching his successful races he was clearly fast as hell. I wonder if he rode all out at 110% at all times, thus inducing fatigue, causing serious crashes. Riding at and beyond control limit. Amazing Racer. Pushed the sport forward. A true legend. Never seen so many endo's. I feel sorry for anyone that raced against him, as well as any bike he rode. His mother. Bless her soul.

[@Peanutdenver]

True and a few of those mechanicals. He ran his forks so stiff there was no give in the front end at all, the rear was like concrete too. Nothing scarier than your bike losing power as you hit a big triple or quad. James was the epitome of go big or go home...sometimes on a stretcher.

[@snomann5908]

Stewart may be fastest on planet but he is also Crash King of the sport taking others down with him

[@FeelGood_Films]

James is a different breed as tough as they come 🤙💪

[@vanceaccardo9284]

That crash at 3:16 is scary as hell. Looks like the bike just locked up on him while he hit that drop off.

[@VincentEstep]

that’s exactly what happened too 😭

Legend at racing and a legend at crashing.

“If you don’t crash every once in a while, you’re not going fast enough!” ~ Danny “Magoo” Chandler I’ll never forgive Dungey for taking out Stewart

[@smalls_music1995]

Literally just about to write the same comment about dungey’s take out

[@ataiken8406]

Why? Stewart took people out a ton, did you not just watch what we all watched?? Its fair game with all due respect

[@dylanmoore6146]

Stewart was outside, dungey sets up for inside, Stewart cuts down cuz he’s in his own battle for a pass. Shit happens I think neither one of them was aware of the others move is all

[@McCrazi21]

@@ataiken8406 dude didn’t take people out….. he landed on Ricky on accident. Other than that he was never known for taking people out. He just raced hard and took him self out more than anyone else. Dungey also didn’t take him out on purpose (also not someone known for taking people out)…. Stewart cut down hard and Dungey didn’t anticipate that when he was about to triple in. Its hard to change direction in the air….

[@mak62183]

He literally put his life on the line every race

I've never watched someone so talented and run out of talent so often. One minute, he looks like the best rider on the planet, and the next, looks like a complete rookie.

[@ShepardOfficial]

You wanna see exactly how quickly these guys are able to make split second decisions and commit to them? Watch Carmichael at 4:38. Stewart is down, Reed slows up behind him, and Carmichael hits the "on,on,off" section while snaking a path through them. That's incredible.

[@Michael-qv4et]

Tough blocks are why JS7 still alive frfr lol

[@ryanbarker4422]

The High Point crash if you watch in slow motion the front and back tires are in different ruts , and the back suspension compressed and rebounded so hard it indoed him.

[@AAAskeet]

He ran a really stiff front fork set up at the end.Lots of those crashes were very similar.I think that's why.

[@davidhaworth7152]

Stewart is Gumby. Unreal how hard of hits he took. The stones on that guy unreal.

With out the preload he should have still got over fine.

[@tankmaster1018]

7:14 Still the only time in my life where I actually jumped off my couch... Love Ricky doing the commentary as well who is basically just screaming in disbelief!

[@ryanbarker4422]

The very top of that jump peaked out. Rickey seat bounced it and his tires were more straight too.

[@ianking.5721]

Love watching rc pass him after his crashes

[@DLJf]

I know everyone has crashes no matter how good but looking back I thought James was a god on a dirt bike now seeing all these it makes me think what was he thinking some of those times

[@Hank87456]

How many riders did he crash into? Or land on top of? Damn. Looks like a dangerous rider to me.

[@CategoricalImperative]

Great and fearless rider (a little too fearless imo). But lucky to still be able to walk. Wanna know how irresponsibly fearless he is…. Notice that after he wrecks, he barely looks at cross traffic before getting back in the race; that’s borderline crazy.

[@Sublimeshredder]

Seeing all these as a compilation, it seems like he was ahead of his bike a lot.

[@ryanbarker4422]

Dam before he went down that hill his back tire clipted the bump and over the handle bars he went.

Kinda funny how he talks s*** about chase crashing like he never did lol

[@jkell411]

So because he did it, he can't say anything about somebody else doing it? Really good logic here...

[@daneg]

yikes. not all of those were his fault. but he did seem out of control when I watched him (I only saw is first couple years in SX). RC crashed a lot in the beginning too, but nothing like JS7. that guy was the fastest guy on the track, but he lost it a lot at those speeds. eesh. props to getting back up. those are absolutely wicked crashes at crazy speeds.

[@FranktheDachshund]

He is going to feel that when he is about 50

[@ryanbarker4422]

IDK how he cashed at Daytona. He was on the gas and seat bounced the jump, and stayed on the gas which should have brought the front end up???

[@charliepj8840]

It’s because his front wheel wasn’t on the ground

[@YFZriderdude15]

Yes but not nearly enough to overcome the energy of one tire hitting the jump face and the other missing it. If only the rear tire is in contact with the ground on a take-off, it will endo 100% of the time because the front tire didn't sustain any pressure from the ground to keep the front end up in the air. Imagine, if you have something attached to a pole, with the pole going through the middle, and you press on one side of it with one hand, it will spin around the pole. If you press on both sides with both hands, it will stay still (or, in the case of a dirt bike, it will stay _level_ in the air). In this scenario, your hands are the ground acting on the object, aka the bike.

[@lusekki]

give him an oscar

[@ghwkq5957]

key reason to why factory riders are faster then they used to be besides skill is suspension

[@ghwkq5957]

[@ryanbarker4422]

That first crash is a loop out. It's a crash on purpose. Damon Bradshaw did the same thing in 1992 at the Indy supercross.

[@telefunkenyou47]

A highlight reel normally showcases a riders “highlights” not lowlights. It would be considered in “poor taste” or even “hateful” to make a highlight reel of Carmichael’s lowlights. Stewart should be no different. Reed however, it’s perfectly acceptable because he’s a dunny boy from Australia.

[@TheBeastmxrider12]

That's a 4- stroke for ya.

[@zachjohnson6873]

What? Modern 4 stroke is far easier to ride then a 2 stroke smoother faster more torque and usable. Most of the crashes are completely on hames the Daytona crash was because he wellie over the triple so when He went to put weight forward as you do in supercross it catipulted him foward no it would not bring the front end up I’ve done it on a test track when I got to much weight back for a rytym out of a turn

[@ryanbarker4422]

@@zachjohnson6873 didn't say that at all. If you know how to ride a 2-stroke you'll beat a 4-stroke everytime. Also before your even committed to do a jump you know if you're going to make it on a 2-stroke and can back it off.

He did what all riders do when they try to ride beyond their limit ........... CRASH. He only beat RC sx win total because he raced 5 more years, same as tomac. RC 10x Mx champ and 5 x Sx.
