Facts 👊🔥

[@thomaswilliams1963]

No one can stay at the top forever. Stewie on a 125 was perhaps the most amazing rider ever. Ask a former pro who was racing 250cc in 2002-2004. The premier class 250 guys would go out of their way to watch the 125 motos/heats...just to see what Stewie would/could do. He changed the way people rode... Cant ever change that....

[@bradschulz3883]

James was doin stuff on a 125 that guys on a 250 wouldn't even dream of, both indoors and outdoors! He took the sport to new levels, just didn't have the consistency of Ricky or Chad.

[@chrisbelcher716]

Stewart was doing stuff on a 125 that no one else could do but he just couldn’t do that on a 450. He could have competed with the 450’s on a 125 but all he did when he moved up was hurt himself, he just couldn’t handle the power and speed he got from a bigger bike

As planned,Carmichael raced only a partial schedule in 2007.He would only race select events for TeamMakitaSuzuki while pursuing his new stock car career. Again,Carmichael continued to amaze and looked faster than ever, with threeSupercross wins and six OutdoorNationalChampionship wins(every race he entered).Carmichael capped his career with a winning performance at the XGames and a victory with TeamUSA at theMotocross ofNations

[@flyinbryan1619]

no, in 2005 when stewart moved up to the premier class he rode 450s just like everyone else and lost the championship every single year to ricky. as far as ricky retiring because he saw the writing on the wall, heres what the wall said: in carmichaels last season, he raced against stewart in 7 outdoor nationals. he beat him straight up all 7 times. 7 for 7, so ya dude, he was terrified lol.

What you're saying is Chad couldn't get out of the way. BS! What Ricky proved is "when the going gets tough, run to another sport". Go to search and type "ricky carmichael vs james stewart". James did what Chad should have done if he had a sak.

[@Jacko129ktm]

when bubba lets reed past .. i think reed has learnt his lesson, for example 2009 vegas supercross main.. bubba slows right down and looks at reed to let him past (just like in this video)... however reed doesnt go by ... waits and trys to take him out atleast reed try's something different this time hahahaha peace

[@zookrider62]

dmenace you are a joke. RC killed stewart this year outdoors, and the year before, and the year before that. RC is not on a cheater bike, almost all of the bikes run the same fuel, so your boy bubba was probably running the same fuel. RC has nothing left to prove, MX is a tiring sport, so he feels its time to tame it down.

[@dmenace259]

Well if Ricky has nothing to prove, why are you trying to prove something to me. I think your boy is running from the fight cause he doesn't want to be, Ricky Carmicheal, second place.

I woulda beat his sorry ass after the race, TOTAL disrespect, yeah you ( were) faster on 125s and in this race and EVERYONE knew it..

[@looper148]

@DELEONSKI2359 I don't usually make bets with super intelligent cyborgs that have been sent back in time and space to piss off goons such as myself, but your so on. RV 1st (how you can say the dude isn't focused after 3 straight 250 outdoor titles is beyond me), 2nd RD1, 3rd CR22, 4TH Mettcalfe, 5th Dietrich. Good luck GENIUS. I do believe you have no idea what your talking about when it comes to motocross, which is weird seeing as your a GENIUS.

[@DELEONSKI2359]

@looper148... I'll see your one.. and I'll raise you 5 Pooper boy. Here's the deal POOPER # 148, I'll give you my prediction on the first 5 riders and you can give your 5... We'll see who's closest to getting them right. If everyone stays healthy then here's my prediction. Chad Reed closely followed by Ryan Dungey, Then Davi Millsaps, Ryan Villapoto and in 5th Brett Mettcalfe. Yeah that's right, ...RV to finish in 4th. in the series.

[@DELEONSKI2359]

I disagree with Villapoto taking the championship... His obivously a hard worker however at this level of motocross it's really about being very focused and he's not demonstrated that yet. Yes, he's fast and Yes he can win a race... But can he win a Championship.... Hummm I don't think so not yet anyway. Plus you have Bubba and Ryan in good physical condition and they've already demonstrated a positive discipline to win a championship. It's either Babba or Ryan ... Sorry.

[@DELEONSKI2359]

A tv program where R. Carmichael, Jeff Stanton, Jeremy Mcgrath, and other former championship riders were on this panel of experts riders and they made a prediction that Ryan Dungy was the man to beat in 2011. Bubba Stewart in my opinion has the most talent of the current batch of Motocrossers. If his conditioning is there.... Ryan is going down. Sorry Ryan... your a nice guy and a great talent.. but Bubba has been competing with the very best a long time and he's still a young man. LOOK OUT.

[@ccoady750]

@dmenace259 JS is an exciting racer, but the races have been pretty exciting, even though the action has been the fights for 2nd, 3rd, & 4th. Alessi getting the holeshot consistently on the 350 shows that maybe 250 two strokes can make a comeback, since the AMA won't change the handicapped rules. Total BS. This weekend, Mike Leveait (sp) will attempt to qualify in a new 200:1 mix ration two stroke Yamaha YZ250. That's what I'll be looking for.

[@ccoady750]

@dmenace259 RC went out on top. JS has no drive anymore. He's a quitter and will continue to injur himself because he takes too many risks. JS takes a LOTof risks. That's why he WAS faster in a few races, but still got beat by RC, but RC definitely was and is the better racer. JS is one wreck away from ending his career, not just his season. RC could have been even faster at the expense of riding carelessly, and at his point in his career, he had nothing left to prove. RC>JS

[@Rambl147]

@dmenace259 I looked up your profile. I see why you like Stuart, because your African American and you can relate to him, thats fine. Just get the facts straight. I believe Bubba is a faster rider or atleast now. With his technique(scrubs) but he rides over his head causing him to be out with injury alot and misses out on Championships. Reed's won a SX and MX since RC has been gone. Stuart could of easily won them both if he wasn't injured.

[@puremutt]

Eeeasy boy. My point was not to tick off all the Bubba worshippers out there. My point was that he coulda/shoulda won several championships that he didn't because of riding over his head and crashing and, consequently, injuring himself for the season. Accidents do happen to everyone but he's had more spills than most. Factory teams don't like losing championships year after year while shelling out 5million/yr. on their star rider.

[@puremutt]

Stick around racing long enough and you'll see that being the fastest doesn't mean the best. Stewart is usually the fastest but against Ricky Carmichael he was rarely the best. His strongpoint is ironically his weakness: he always rides a little "over his head". He usually either wins or wrecks. I'm sure that's why Kawasaki dropped him--he kept screwing up the championships with stupid riding.

[@thumpin250]

These guys aren't robots. Human error is a big thing when it comes to the holeshot, reaction time, and doing it right are what make it happen. Some people are naturally better, alessi is a holeshot machine, but, he can't hang with stewart the whole way threw a race. RC 85% of the time had a good start, somewhere in the top 7 usually, that was just good tech and being able to implement it time and again. Go talk to a drag racer and i imagine they'll tell a similair story. Do u actually ride?

[@dmenace259]

Great opinion. Everybody has one, kind of like buttholes. You think you know everything, but you don't. Glad you saw the video, the legend will live forever.

[@looper148]

@vanhalen515084 I'm just so over Stewart and his attitude towards racing. When the dude missed the nationals in 09 he came back in '10, crashed and got hurt, that'll happen again next year as well. If it wasn't for him being really thick, he'd be the 2nd winningest rider eva behind RC, but like I said, he's thick, so he won't.

[@jwctex14]

@vanhalen515084 Fine him for being cocky? Wow, then every time a winner gets on the podium to say how much their sponsors help them-- or Chad Reed saying how much he accomplished on his own, they should be fined? Animation1111 is right, that is the sport, racers testing eachother, having fun. Kicking ass and taking names.

[@ccoady750]

@dmenace259 Yeah, but reailty TV shows, and endorsements don't make you the greatest of all time. Consistency, overall wins and shampionships do. JS tries to be 10% faster than the rest and risks injury when he could be more consistent and healthy just by being 1% faster. He'll have a career ending injury or the next phenom will force him to retire early.

[@hobbes937]

Oh your right Carmichael cheated his way to 10 outdoor championships and five sx titles. Never lost a title defense cause he was cheating, and was never beaten for a MX title by anyone because he was cheating. 07 was his farewell tour not an effort to prove anything but he still dominated, but he was probably cheating then too.

[@hobbes937]

Ok checked em'. Carmichael won the first 5 rounds of the 07, MX season and split motos with Stewart at the last one, but still won the over all. He was still dominating (although Stewart provided some good races). Carmichael retired because he dominated the sport for 10 years, there was nothing left to prove.

[@Anthrax-nz4ic]

@dmenace259 Dungey isn't my hero. I root for Mike Alessi. Riding a 350 and still getting holeshots and finishing in the top 5. I personally don't like watching the 4 strokes all that much. The two strokes are just more exciting to watch and ride, in my opinion.

[@Rambl147]

@dmenace259 What am I making up? What I said there was complete truth. Your just choosing favourites and its in your mind that Staurt is a superman. Go learn to ride yourself, instead of worring how good other people ride and who was better. People who know, know. Carmichael was the best end of storey.

[@BananerRepublic]

@DELEONSKI2359 uhh well sir, considering dungey is the defending "champion", it would only make sense that hes "the man to beat" since he has the number one plate... thats why they said that, not that he ever deserved that #1 plate anyway...

[@Rambl147]

@zipify Again! Carmichael quit the Supercross/Motocross seasons in 2007 due to car racing obligations. So it's not really included since RC didn't race the whole SX/MX '07' seasons. Yes he did win every title he raced a full season with Stuart.

[@thumpin250]

Oh by the way sesarathor...u obviously know nothing of mx racing, power is great, but if u can't turn it into forward motion, it's just wheel spin. It's all about proper technique, the right throttle and clutch combination, as well as some body language.

[@omaits]

It's too bad he can't go 2 races without injuring himself. Good riding is being the on brink of crashing. James just crosses that line a little too much.

[@Sephiroth32vergil]

@GoonRider919 watched every race... and i watched Villopoto win the whole thing... Not saying james sucks... i love James. But to say nobody can beat James is stupid when he just lost to Villopoto. Also, Carmichael anybody?
