Another awesome video WD840! This shows why there is no comparison to JS7. No disrespect to any other riders, but James was just another level. Best 125/250 lites rider ever
Its actually mind blowing how tremendous his results are with the way he rides. Maybe the most checkers or wreckers rider of all time. And when I say that I don't mean a reckless talentless idiot who likes speed. But he did NOT want to coast to a win. He could be completely checked out and still trying to gain seconds on the track. Simply built different. Glad he retired with the amount of head hits. Now we get to hear his clear insights after the races and sometimes during... Love it
We always hear that he did his first scrub at budds creek in 03, but it looks like a pretty decent scrub at 5:41, and it was before budds creek if I'm not mistaken.
I couldn’t imagine seeing prime James, Ricky, McGrath, or Reed, riding today. Can’t help but wonder if they would dominate this current generation or not. (Jett, Web, Ken, Tomac, Anderson, Sexton, etc.) thoughts?
Help me understand this: You are a pro and your mechanic tightens up your clutch and brake perches so tight that when you crash/fall, your perches are twisted from the hard impact. Then you have to nearly break bones in your hand to beat the crap out of the lever to get it back in place. That is STUPID and self-defeating. In all my years of racing, I had my perches snug but never TIGHT. You can safely only snug them by applying Blue Loctite on the screws so they don't work themselves out - and the snugness is stable and reliable. And you don't have to bruise your hand pounding it back into place. And I found that that black electrical tape wrapped around the bars at the perch works well to keep 'em in place too.
Whats your favorite memory of Bubba on a 125?
every single race
When he was the only 125 2 stroke
And he beat all the 250 4 strokes
Budds Creek scrub
@@manoliswec5674 great answer ✌️
James was so exciting to watch.
100%
One of the greats of all time , the Bubba 👍🇺🇸🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
If not the greatest.

🤙🏻
They should do some throw back tracks on the super cross series this year. So glad I grew up watching James and watched him race Ricky at hangtown
When moto was still a man's sport! Great upload 👌
Awesome video! Thank you for putting it together!
no problem!
At 4:39 James hitting the quad on the 125 is insane and pure skill
I love the look of that era bike with the thick forks and big flat front number plate.
100%
So freaking rad💥💯

Yeah there’s other riders that did similar things as well just James took the scrub to the next level I think👌🏻
Thank you js7.. what a moves
JS259 fastest 125 rider ever
Thank you sir
Omg I forgot just how good James was. I think he is the best rider ever I believe that is y Carmichael retired so young as he knew how good James was.

The fastest man on a dirt bike.
Way more showmanship back then than there is now.
El mejor corredor de sx y mx de todos los tiempos

You never made it to this level so nothing you type matters
@@bunnyman6321 i have ridden/raced for 43 years. One does not have to be a pro to know about perches and levers. Your reply is nonsense.
Youngest ever to win ..nowadays dudes 18-19 like I wish they would move up faster
Good point
Looking back now James himself must think: How did I survived these years?
What a monster
Bubba is Better than the G O A T🤑🦾🔥….answer to your Question….Many memories but probably the Scrub at High Point I think it was💥🤘👽
Facts
🤯
As fast as he was at 125, he wasn't that fast at 250.)
