Got emotional watching this. This man definitely made my childhood great. Congrats Bubba. Enjoy your family.

[@darrenhill3514]

Mine too! My childhood was surrounded by wondering what he would do on a dirtbike! And to think I'm 36 now and still wonder that lol

[@micheleabdelfatah6345]

Man that's fuckin sad. He made your childhood great. Living vicariously huh. Just sad.

Don't think we will ever see another talent like this, JS7 changed the sport forever, just sad that the FIM robbed us of two more years of watching him do his magic.

Facts

[@Team_Banchamek]

What’s did the FIM do?

[@callinyourblufftoday9670]

@@Team_Banchamek SUSPENDED HIM FOR 2 YEARS (WICH IS UNHEARD OF) FOR FORGETTING TO REPORT ADDEROL (A DRUG HE HAD TAKEN FOR YEARS) TO THEM. SO THEY SUSPENDED HIM FOR BAND SUBSTANCE SMH. damn, sorry just saw cap lock was on. they did him dirty, i would have understood 6 months maybe, but a 2 year ban for a proscribed drug? They would have allowed him to take it, but since he didnt report it they band him

[@Wreckhouse69]

@@Team_Banchameksuspended him for adderall which ima be real adderall and dirtbiking doesn’t seem like the most advantageous mix but rules are rules😢 js7 forever !

JAMES, YOU ARE THE SHIT, WE LOVE YOU BUDDY. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES. REALLY WILD TO SEE EMOTION, PASSION , LOVE. YOU HAD NONE ON THE TRACK! IT WAS AGGRESSION, WINNING MENTALITY AND CREATIVE ON HOW TO GO FAST! SEVEN IS THE BEST THING YOUR MEMORIES WILL BE REMEMBERED BY. WE LOVE YOU BUBBA AND THE WORLD!!!!!JS7

[@tylerallenofficial]

literally brought me back to my childhood..theres no-one else who deserves it as much as you

[@MrSuperflydude]

This was so touching. James, you made me love motocross. I'm sure a lot of us owe our favorite hobby, our life, our livelihood, to you. This community will be forever indebted to you JS7 ❤️

[@MisterBlondie]

From Ricky, to James, I cried during both inductions. Those two were the reason I got into the sport. Their attitude, their love of the sport, their mentalities, to this day they still keep me going in the sport. Thank you James for giving me a great childhood hero to look up to. 💛🖤

[@galenabitz4577]

Congratulations James. You gave us so many memories over the years that I tell my kids about to this day. I was at Millville when you jumped "Holy Schmidt" first lap on a 250 2 stroke. I saw you jump the leap on your 125 and the insane scrubs but that Holy Schmidt jump was by far the most insane thing I've seen in my life. It was amazing to watch your career and I'm very appreciative you came back to the sport by way of a podcast. As a fan, the "quiet years" were difficult. Always know that drive to make your dad happy, now lives with your boys and it's you they're trying to impress.

[@yamahakid450f]

I was bummed when they decided to take that Jump out, that's like taking the leap away or Henry Hill

[@galenabitz4577]

@@yamahakid450f I can't even explain to people now how big that jump was that first year and right out of the corner!

[@miketaylor7064]

I met James at Kawasaki dealer show a long time ago. He was so little with the biggest smile, I’ll never forget that smile, pulled for him at every race. The fastest man on 2 wheels.

[@twohotgt4uwarner336]

Man the baddest man to put leg over a bike. Thank you James Bubba Stewart. Congratulations on being in the AMA hall Fame..

I picked a shitty time to cut onions. Well deserved mate. So awesome to have you back in the limelight. Lovin the podcast

[@codyshilling9780]

23:04 I live in pickerington. James has been my favorite rider since day 1. I found out he was coming 1hr before hand so I grabbed my kids and raced up to AMA James is so chill and down to earth he was kind enough to take a picture with me and my kids. A memory with my kids I’ll have forever!

[@dyldomane]

I’ve never once cried about a moto racer. This was absolutely perfect. Thank you James seriously! ❤️

[@JakeBriscoe218]

Congrats to you James… very well deserved. The amount of talent you have on a motorcycle will always be one of the most incredible things I got to see growing up.

[@slagletoby]

James is absolutely remarkable. The fastest man on earth, and I also called him Mr. Entertainment.

[@konstantinosnikolopoulos3310]

I'm from Greece. When I was younger I used to be an amateur Motocross rider. James was and will always be my idol in Motocross! Thank you James for everything you taught us and for everything you offered to the sport! God bless you and your family! 🙏🏼🏁

[@declaredjeans7555]

Congratulations, Bubba! This got me pretty emotional, and watching Big James cry in the beginning, made me instantly teary eyed..

[@sammariel]

So much work goes into creating an athlete and it’s nice to see him pay respect to the parents who are in the background making the sacrifices and giving all they have so that their child can live out a dream.

[@Lumpycrown845]

I'm 37 I grew up watching James. I remember having the old kawi shirts back in the day. He's hands down the 🐐. Nobody will ever put there heart into this sport like he did. He's the Michael Jordan of mx. LOVE YOU BROTHER

[@sawang100]

James Stewart the best of all time

[@hjmoto]

There will never be another James Stewart. His induction into the Hall of Fame is really special. There will never be another black man that will win a major title in 450 Supercross or Motocross! His brother Malcolm is in there and won a 250 Supercross championship but I don't think he will do what James did. It's hard just getting up to that level of racing period. So I give it up to all the pros who showed heart and skill to be a champion! He's special and that's the way it is.

[@ChrisGuthrie]

Congrats stew, long overdue. So pumped to be able to see big James get to be present for this I mean this is a very special moment for many reasons 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@callinyourblufftoday9670]

Best racer to me EVER. As a young black man who grew up into dirt bikes but not having parents to support that dream it was amazing watching stewart break through barriers. I wasnt able to afford my first bike till i was 19, at the time Stewart was making his enrtance to the Lites class. Simple amazing to watch this 15 y/o kid crush ppl my age and older .Even tho he was younger than me somehow i looked up to him lol. Thank you Bubba! You were not just the fasted motorcyle racer ever, you were the fastest RACER period. I still go back, watch highlights and get chills. amazing athlete.
