American James Stewart had an incredible motocross and supercross career and, to this day, is considered one of the fastest guys to ever throw a leg over a dirt bike.
In 2008 Stewart won every race and every moto of the AMA Motocross season. The only other person to do this is Ricky Carmichael, who had perfect seasons in 2002 and 2004.
Stewart is second in all time 450 Supercross wins (50), and second all time in AMA outdoor national wins (48).
He also developed the “Bubba Scrub”, or now more commonly known simply as “scrub”, which became a fundamental skill needed to compete in professional motocross.
He was the first to host his own television show, Bubba’s World.
He brought in endorsement deals that paid him more than US$10M a year throughout his career.
He has the record for best rookie season, having won 10/12 motocross races in 2002.
Stewart won the Motocross of Nations twice and he won four AMA Supercross Champion titles and three AMA Motocross Champion titles. He won the Red Bull Straight Rhythm in both 2014 and 2015.
