Thank you all for 200 subs! Please like and subscribe, and then check out the Playlists tab on the channel! I've compiled over 1,600 of the best motocross GoPro videos from across KZbin and have them organized by engine size and 2/4-stroke. There's also playlists for Mx Riding Tips/How-To's, and RAW footage. These will be consistently updated and added to, and I will be continuing to upload more content as well. So stay tuned for more motocross!

This was in 2000 and at age 14 he said, "By the time I'd get there those Freestyle guys will be doing flips and 360s and stuff, so idk bout all that." And he was totally right.

[@BlueTransAm83]

Yea Exactly told the future.

[@trumanskaggs1891]

Crazy right...!!!

[@jpesicka492]

"5th gear on my 100 and I barely make it, about 115 footer." -Legend

[@brodydon3]

Crazy how accurate he was about flips and 360s and freestyle tricks 5 years ahead of it happening

[@excessmx]

Absolutely, he was ahead of his time in Motocross in so many ways. Fascinating to watch this interview 20+ years later and after he's retired. He predicted a lot of what was to come in MX!

[@jordanonofer3886]

I was thinking same. Wow

[@fraser_byrne]

Was thinking the same... nailed it.

[@jordanonofer3886]

Talk about focus and desire ! He was a gift to the mx world.

[@jamalbr00ks95]

Like how the video ended @2:59 lol great video mate!

[@barteaumotorsports8909]

He was such a light to Mx at that time! Amazing talent

[@paulf144]

Seeing him ride as an amateur was, a treat. The talent and skill level was so far above any amateur and even any Pro in the 125 class. You knew that you were seeing something special. You could almost tell you were seeing a once in a lifetime talent. The guys racing today are fast, but I haven't seen a racer since James do more jaw dropping things on a motorcycle like it was a Sunday afternoon walk in the park. It was the little things that I appreciated. If you ever watched the practice sessions at a SX or MX National that is where the real jewels were.

[@hamonrye9823]

Ya at the local track in bithlo fl he would come out and seat bounce jump things that weren't not even supposed to be jumped or much less even thought about being jumped.

[@cassarj76]

His big smile 😀 is contagious

[@chriscurbstompscm]

James was one of my childhood heroes. Cool interview!

[@隠れた]

Them old splitfire Kwai’s were the coolest thing to me as a kid.. and the pro circuit ones

[@867diesel]

he did exactly what he said he was going to do . hes a man of his word

[@excessmx]

100%

[@D6onGPS]

He didn’t dominate at all

[@867diesel]

@@D6onGPS youre right he lost every race

[@troyborkowski2949]

Didnt dominate. Will never do freestyle and has not turned up for lorreta's 30+. So he actually did nothing that he said in this interview

[@waynegarfield6607]

Lmfao.....he didnt win as many championships on a 250/ 450 but he won a shit ton of races. So before you put your mouth( or fingers/ text) before your emotion you should look up his stats. Every time he lined up he inflicted fear upon 40 other riders. The only one to straight up beat him was Carmicheal.....and i guerantee RC was nervous as well. In the 125/ 250 class he dominanted yo the Point of being all time 125/ 250 MX winner of all time with 27 wins.plus he went from dead Last to first more than once on a 125 against the 250s. The only one besides RC to beat him was Chad Reed but Stewart was faster reed smoother. Your talking out your ass .... he would have won more if he knew how to slow down. He was the fastest man on the planet until the AMA fucked him over....cause Addereall??? Really.....have you ever race dude?. Ever watch him race in person??? He could do things on a mx bike that NO ONE has done before or since. What an idiotic statement you posted.... LMFAO

[@oliver6287]

Broooooo I remember watching racing every morning before school! This is great

[@JohnHowerton137]

“Probably be doing flips and 360s and stuff.” He really was prophetizing! 🤣

[@abocalips]

The greatest to ever do it, the fastest rider in history and the most interesting guy to ever do it, man I love James Stewart

[@Jimmy_Watt]

Bubba's 14 year old dream was ours too: tear up a fucking golf course.

[@thooke222]

" without School... you couldn't count your money" 😅

[@mfmonthefmf]

This video is 2 minutes 59 seconds long.... very nice touch

[@roddas26]

Love the fact he wanted to buy a golf course to "tear it up" on dirt bikes.😂

[@davidcooper4385]

JAMES STEWART should be in the announcing booth come 2023 ON TV..

[@user-lh8rb5wx6q]

Now, after watching it again I need rto say that what strikes me the most is how intelligent and mature James seem to be in the hype. But it was no hype..so I dont know. No one rode like James, that I feel is safe to say.

[@DonGetSlapt]

The fact that this video is 2:59secs long

[@trumanskaggs1891]

We all miss watching Bubba..... A True Juggernaut..!!!

[@thevoxofreason8468]

Oh man! I remember seeing this way back when.

[@davidwelch40]

FASTEST MAN ON THE PLANET, BUBBA SCRUBBING !!! WHAT A LEGEND & CHAMPION!! WE LOVE YA & YOUR FAMILY, THE STEWARDS ROCK THE MOTO-X INDUSTRY!!! THE ONE & ONLY #7

So cool

[@Luke-vg3lh]

Video goes for 2.59. First thing i noticed

[@chadkennedy529]

Nothing like a man who keeps his word.

[@BayAreaBully7667]

yeah, literally did everything he said he was gonna do... AND MORE

[@joshwase84]

I wonder if he’s secretly working on his freestyle tricks for his xgames debut 😝

[@tnatola1]

He already was in the Xgames for the Supermoto race and best whip. He

[@camaroness]

Anyone know if this kid ever turned pro?

[@baby-sharkgto4902]

I’m not sure if he made it at riding but he has an awesome KZbin channel called Bubbas World, check it out!

[@grantpohlmeyer9574]

Yes he did. He won multiple Motocross and Supercross championships

It wasn't on purpose, just a happy coincidence! I didn't even notice until another commenter pointed it out, haha.

[@DonGH297]

Video length: 2:59 . I see what you did there.

[@AllanSmith859]

Nowadays you never here anyone in any sport say they plan on dominating. Its always some boring answer that they give that some people say "there so humble".

[@excessmx]

That's true! To be fair though, if anyone did say they planned on dominating, most people would call them arrogant and full of themselves. Not to mention how many good riders there are now, it's really hard to dominate like that. Even Tomac has to really be on his game to win. But I agree it would be cool to have a personality like that to shake things up a bit.

[@MichaelAMyers1957]

2 reasons. 1, they are too worried about a “ perfect image “. 2. they don’t have the confidence and belief to say it. When James said that, he truly meant that sh1t. He wasn’t arrogant about it, he cool but meant it. These kids today don’t want to eat their words if they don’t actually dominate. I wish someone would come along an cut some wwf style promos an be the bad guy that this sport needs. I’m so tired of the mr nice guy who thanks his sponsors and the magic man in the sky they call god. It’s so dull an boring.

[@tylerhubbell6410]

Dominated but crashed a whole lot.

[@D6onGPS]

Changed the game but far from dominated
