James Stewart Clearing Wall Jump + Crash Daytona Supercross 2011 HD

Since I was in such awe at this guys performace at Daytona I thought I would take the time and upload a few of my favourite moments from his race at Daytona in the 2011 season.
The first part is him absolutely flying around the track jumping OVER the wall rather than hitting it like every other rider including Reed and Villipoto were doing.
The second is his unfortunate crash.
The 3rd is him STILL clearing the wall even after his crash.
And the last clip is the cheer the crowd gave him at the end.

[@two_stroke_abuser]

stewart gained alot of respect from me purely from this vid. Hard crash mass amounts of speed and ballsy lines. you can't not respect that

[@lostinspace699]

I did not need this vid , to be convinced.... Australia ...

[@mxcjoe]

Same here bro I remember watching this and thinking damn much respect!

[@RandomUser2388]

Dont take this wrong, i like stewart. But this is his usual state, fastest guy on the track, and then crash. Stewart crashes way way too much. And thats why he didnt win many championships

[@lostinspace699]

i am a big Mike Larroco fan he never one a supercross Championship he was 2nd 3nd.. 13 times,,.... Keven Windom the most wins no championship.. Larroco the only rider to race supercross win in 3 deferent decades ,,,, Australia

[@timgthatsit6756]

twostroke abuser = The F#ck I Can't ! I had No respect for #7 before this video, & I have No respect for it after this video. ZERO ! I Wouldn't Pi$$ on it if it was on fire & Headed Straight for a Nitro Glycerin Plant ! The AMA SHOULD HAVE BANNED #7's ASS Wen it became OBVIOUS that it just wanted to CRASH OUT The Other Riders ! It's a F#ckin Miracle #7 Didn't KILL Anyone during its BULLSHIT CRASH OUT Game . EVERY Rider on ANY Track Is MUCH Safer Since that #7 retired or quit or whatever the F#ck happened to it . 7 was an Absolute DANGER to Everyone on a bike

[@onlylikenerd]

This is why this guy is my favorite and will always be my favorite rider!

[@juicenot2481]

that sums up his career, by far the most naturally talented human on a bike, faster than anyone, he is just a tad to talented for his own self to control, and it just tips the balance ever so slightly and he bucked.

[@user-fx1dt3ul4t]

Very true, to good for his own good

[@willyjameshuff]

If he had the talent you say, he wouldn’t have crashed so much

[@MooseMoto7]

@@willyjameshuff i suppose that's the same for Villi then? Remember blowing out his knee? Or Roczen? Or Tomac? Or all the past legends? They all crashed, it comes with the territory of pushing the limits, shit happens.

Exactly what I was thinking

He didnt crash on the wall jump tho...that's what they were referring to. They didnt expect him to crash elsewhere on an average rythem lane.

[@KingSuveon]

Stewart is a beast. Him Carmichael and Reed all have had hard crashes and all of them got back on the bike. Even tho when Reed and Stewart crashed they didn't win but it shows how much heart and love of the sport they have.

[@DallyLRUFC]

What always gets me about the crash is how early RC spots it. James is barely in the air and RC is already in panic mode... just shows how much of a racers brain he had, he was right there with James on the bike and could feel the mistake as though it was his. Us viewers just respond to Ricky and the panic rev

[@richkeylor787]

At one point in time, the only thing that could stop James Stewart was James Stewart.

[@kelliebrooks9094]

Thanks for posting this...i had retired from motocross...in 2000...made a run at 37 to go pro...so after 2001 i didnt wanna see mx racin..i missed all of james Chad an RC on the 4 strokes..an Dungy an Villo missed it all...so this was cool to see how bad ass bubba was....i started the scrub thing in 1991 just because i hadnt learned how to soak up a jump face so i just started...turning the bike into a whip...an looking for a tree root to seat bounce off before shooting high up in the air i got to see bubba on a KX 60 an he at 8 years old already jumped like mcgrath...which i fanally put time in an learn a year before i retired....mcgraths trick was slamming the front fork down an pushing it thru the launch but not letting it rebound so u naturally just fly on a lower flite pattern best of all ur dialed in for the landings. .that was on a 2 stroke where u could spin the rear real easy so that helped diffuse the launxh too....bubba was doing it at 9 years old at dade city...i was standing a few feet from james senior

[@black07rr]

That’s why he’s always been my favorite rider....he’s a bad ass!!

James was always exciteing to watch.

[@kirkdunn1379]

Never a huge Stewart fan but he was a freak on a motorcycle.....The dude changed MX/SX forever, regardless of my opinion of someone it has no bearing on facts, respect or reality.....The dude is a hall of famer without a doubt.....I believe he was the most talented rider of all time....

[@devinwillard6747]

Love Ricky... Having enough respect.. and saying "we aren't going to talk about it" referring to what would happen if James comes up short.

[@Chubychaser260]

i started crying when i saw this on tv

[@joshhartwig1266]

I love Jeff's niave thiking 'unless Poto's mechanic and put it on his pit sign to do that jump, James will pull away'... lol Poto would not have done that jump regardless. It was gnarly as hell and Stewart had a unique gift of finding weird little lines like that. If he could have kept it on two wheels this race, it would have been one for the books, similar to his Toronto supercross win where he was doing entire sections nobody was doing. I still watch SX and MX but its not the same anymore, nobody is willing to put everything on the line like he was. Hopefully someday we will see someone that is willing to push it to another level.

[@rogerhupp3115]

He might not be the greatest of all time, but he sure as hell is the fastest. Hands down.

[@jimmadonna1436]

James Steward Was half unconscious after getting his bell rung.

[@lpb3731]

Could you please explain to me at 2:15 why the back wheel stops spinning only once he puts the bike back up ? I’ve never ridden but I think the back brake is on the right foot so how come the bike just stopped once he was back on its wheels !? Thanks !

[@garrett3234]

@@lpb3731 what are you trying to explain when he is picking his bike up why the wheel stops? cause when it was in the dirt it was holding his throttle on. when he picks it up he has control of the throttle and clutch to stop it from going if thats what your talking about

[@garrett3234]

@@lpb3731 also he shuts the bike off hence why he kicks it before going again so he just stalls in on purpose actually then pulls clutch in to push it

How can you say that, merely even having the GOAT as a commentator is a great thing!!!

[@tuuger]

James and chad reed were always so fun to watch in person. James is just undeniably insane on a dirt bike though lol. Watching him tapped out hammering through the whoops is one of the best things you can see in person

[@chevyboy37]

Just an AMAZING rider, def theeeee best. He's by far my favorite rider. I mean nobody even to this day can see a line like he can, he makes teiples out of whoops uses a whoop to clear a feikin wall, made the scrb popular and every rider does it now. Have you ever heard his pod cast ?? Just pure raw talent Bubba Stewart is.

How can you compare other sports to this. Moto is outright savage.

[@dickswaylo]

You gotta admire someone who has that kind of heart on a motorcycle. Even with a crash everyone saw HIM do something I feel only he can do (wall jump) and then shaken do it lap after lap til the end. Without him at a race it is usually boring, peroid. Travis Pastrana, Damon Bradshaw and Guy Cooper are the only others I've ever saw take these kinds of chances. Heart....thats it

I found some footage that is proper sized filmed from the stands and meged it with the huge endo, I am not to credit. I love what JAmes brought to the sport and that wall seems like a bump here. I assure you it is not. Well I share it on my account I think so whatever. No one was or will be close I suppose. Hat are of finally after years of hate on all he did. Nothing since 09, quitter, "old" (by 27 even). He was just above and he is missed and I hate that people had to keep denying what we all will see again since - he sure missed out lately, but his impact is on film and it would not have been 5 years earlier. That is a blessing since man he dominated mx and sx for years and was so so close to more titles and another perfect season.

Dont count him out yet.

[@OrrcoRacing]

That is funny... What class do you race in?? Yes did I ever say that you should go full pelt for the whole race?? One tends to go their fastest at the start of the race to get a good position early on, and then settle down into a steady pace throughout the race. I would love to give you a race!! :)
