That Time James Stewart Tripled the Loretta's Finish Line - 2004

[@grassrootsmx2890]

Bubba was on another level. He Made everything look so easy , how much energy you save when you keep it flowing. Great to watch 👍

[@TannerMxer182]

We were so robbed of getting to watch Stew race his entire career on 2-strokes. If 4-strokes never came around, without question Stew ends up with the most wins all time and probably has a perfect supercross season.

[@gageconner6414]

I agree with missing him race his career on a smoker but Ricky and Chad Reed was just as fast on the smokers too.

[@bigGatster]

@@gageconner6414 absolutely, Stew, Reed and Carmichael were awesome to watch

[@fiftyin07]

Yeah idk about that, the dominance for James was gone once he had to deal with Ricky, and Ricky could have kept racing and winning championships for a few more years if he really wanted to. No way does James beat Carmichael’s 150 wins, Ricky was just way too good outdoors. James could’ve maybe taken the supercross record but he had a habit of not knowing when to slow down and crashing a lot

[@AMM1998]

Vurb is the best, it's impossible to find footage this high quality from that era

[@cbh148]

Wild that here we are 20 years later, and the only semi-higher-resolution MX/SX footage from the 90s to '07ish is from a non-network, non-broadcast, private endeavor -- yet everything from the pro races is a hodgepodge of murky, artifact-ridden VHS recordings converted to KZbin using a potato.

[@uramag7]

ya thats a good point what the hell is up with that.

[@Jaxson_riley]

Dude your so right

[@CodySiler]

Somehow Weege looks older here.

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

Right! He sounds WAY younger though that's for sure lol high pitched! (that's normal though people's voices get deeper over time)

[@Dr_Pappa]

Why is he wearing a Kawi shirt?

[@bertbroeder1832]

Will always love 2-strokes and the style JS had!

[@justliveyahlifeg5777]

I’m so glad bubba stuck around after he retired.. there for awhile thought he was done with it all.. we love yah stew!! Shout out to vurbmoto I remember when this was the only platform that covered motocross really!! 👍

[@ThomasMitchell-kr8yy]

Bubba one of the fastest and absolute best riders ever! Thanks for the show bubba

[@stephenadams5223]

Didnt realize how long weege has been at it. True staple of the sport.

[@StandingWarrior]

On the 3 week Motocross break coming up I am going to rewatch this whole channel!

[@lawrencepecue9753]

That track looks sick! I wish they would do the track like this again.

[@TheBeastmxrider12]

the 250f is bringing back some memories. that good ole carb sound, high idle. 250 2 smoke stole the show tho. super sick!

[@JPW328]

I was watching the stream yesterday! I would love to see more Stewart and Alessi LL footage! Some of those shots I’ve never seen ! Thank you 🙏

[@dc6233]

It was so disappointing to never see James race again, every year I had hopes he'd form his own team and come back. Can't say I blame him, but I miss him. Supercross got a bit boring for awhile once we lost a few of the greatest....

[@colefredericks2869]

Ahhh the golden years....

[@farquadmantis8486]

Crazy to think Bubba rode that 250 2t so hard that he was a threat to Ricky. Must mess with your mind being the champion on your factory 450 then all of the sudden you hear a 2 stroke buzzing on your tail lol

[@jeremycollins3408]

One of the great rides to watch .

[@tearnyscribner9146]

Back when MotoX was MotoX!! Jus the sound of the 2 strokes alone

[@Griffin283]

He’s literally riding with Ivan on a 250f… did you even watch the video?

It's the best footage of James riding the KX250 2stroke. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@jmzochsnrtr]

He had the concept of racing backwards. He thought go as fast as you can whether you can handle it or not. Crashed more than any other professional rider in history never learned how to ride correctly

[@PinkuStyle]

Damn a year after I finished highschool seems so long ago had no idea about any of these guys back then

Hell ya I was there for this

Always Mean green in my eyes Yeah

[@JPW328]

VurbMoto, do you happen to have any of the 80cc battles between Mike Alessi and Davi Millsaps? I remember watching footage back in the early 2000’s. It might have been Mini Warriors DVD. But I cannot find it. Love the old footage , thank you for uploading 🙌

[@MrPerry281]

Is this the year that he was pointing at Allessi on the gate?

[@vurbmoto]

Yep, at the very end you can see him ride to the gate. Sadly we missed "the" moment, but there's a photo somewhere I believe.

[@MrPerry281]

I didn’t even notice that cuz the other videos popped up. Haha. Man I loved these days!

[@MrPerry281]

@DANIMALLLLL nah. This was a Kawasaki Demo ride in between motos at Loretta’s. But the hype around the two racing was insane and James was pointing at Allessi at one point.

[@mr.channel6467]

Can you see wy 4 strokes were hated back in the day?

[@zakrusk5718]

Weird seeing how hard pack this iteration of the track at the ranch is here lol Was this prep weather induced? Anyway…. Two smoke Stew will always be a vibe 🤘🏻

[@705squad]

4 stroke sounds so lame compared to the 2 stoke hering them side by side !

[@bertbroeder1832]

And even in Italy (amore et motore) the 4-strokes make sure to close some old mx tracks! They told us we ride 4-strokes to protect the environment. What we get: closed tracks and spending more money racing. Kawasaki, wake up!
