  • Aboard a BONE STOCK demo 2005 #KX250, James Stewart, in 2004, hit the Loretta Lynn's course and showed the world - or actually just the people there - just exactly what was "Stewable" at that time, including the very legendary Finish Line Triple, a feat that has never been done again.

    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.

    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 RUclips using a potato.
