So were the mid 80's into the 90's with Ricky Johnson, David Bailey, Jeff Ward, Bob Hanna, Johnny O'Mara, Magoo Chandler and soon a young bmx rider by the name of Jeremy McGrath.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

I think the grass roots early years of any sport are the best years. That is where all the development starts, from riding talent to bike improvements. In the 70's and 80's, the gates gained more and more champions, and every year, the bikes were getting better and better by leaps and bounds. From 75 to 81, the bikes went from 4" of suspension travel, air cooled piston port engines, with drum brakes and 2 shocks on a steel swing arm, ---to 12" of travel, linkage single shock suspension, reed valve intake induction, better pipes and porting for much more power than 74, better frame geometry and water cooling, (disk brakes soon to come). It was just as exciting to see what the manufactures were doing for their next bike, as it was watching the racing. Also, back then, a kid like me, (me included), was able to make $1.00/hr and buy a brand new bike every 2 years, (those days are gone forever), and 3 times more bikes were sold each year back then compared to 1985 and later. The 70's and 80's, like the rest of earlier USA, you had to be involved to appreciate it.

Definitely, but he took himself out and crashed a lot of race’s because his rear suspension was so stiff.

There’s still no SX rider that rides like him with his personality and that creative. Bubba scrub is forever legendary ✊

[@user-cq9qf3nl4w]

Back in these days (oh how old and corny I sound), if championship contenders finished below 3rd it was a terrible day, now championship contender finish 6th and it's not too bad, rather an okay race that "minimulizes a bad points finish." It was rare to see Stewart, Carmichael and Reed not go 1 ,2, 3 in any fashion from 2005-2009 which is something we'll never see again in this sport. This isn't a knock on the vast amount of competition now. I'm a big fan of some guys out there like Ken Roczen and Tomac, but I'll never get the same hype I did some 15 years ago.

[@NevadaSmith2]

James would’ve stolen MC’s crown for king of Supercross (and likely Carmichael’s title as the goat) if it weren’t for 1) FIM’s BS suspension 2) Chad Reed cheaply taking him out sooo many times and 3) if Stewart knew how to just occasionally back off of his max speed. And finally 4) Dungey’s career-ending T-bone. It’s unfortunate, the sport did Stewart dirty. He should unquestionably have a way better record than what the stats show. Still, I love JS7.

You're joking? Stew got suspended in 2015 when he was already a shell of his former self, and when he finally got good comp after 4 retired he got beat constantly. Rv owns James.

[@NevadaSmith2]

@@Murray89 you obviously didn’t read #3, which is a big one “if Stew knew how to occasionally back off his max speed.” I’ll be the first to say JS7 had terrible race craft. He simply relied on riding faster than anyone else in the track. He expected a win every time, which lead to many crashes and injuries. RV on the other hand had pretty stellar race craft -he wasn’t quite on Cooper Webb’s Queen’s Gambit-chess-level race craft (yes, I know, different eras), but he was damn good. Better than James. By the end of 2014 (after James finally got over the wrist injury and was on a decent bike for the time) he showed his speed was back.Then the wind was sucked out of his sails by the FIM in 2015 (they didn’t want him to be a threat against Monster Energy-backed RV) Then in 2016, despite James claiming he felt uncomfortable, his raw speed was still there (almost won A1 until the crash in whoops) then Dungey sealed the deal on his career with the devastating T-bone.
