Steve Matthes just posted an outstanding podcast interview with James on TransWorld Motocross. If you’d like to hear James talk about his time off the bike, recovery from injury, return to racing, and much, much more… This is a MUST listen! Click here: TWMX Podcast With James Stewart
Our friends over at TransWorld Motocross recently posted this killer video of James testing out at Pala Raceway in Southern California in preparation for his return to the outdoor Nationals. Check it out!
After weeks of carefully sculpting, polishing, and tweaking his YZ450F to make it sea- and air-worthy, James Stewart finally tried his hand at the Red Bull Flugtag event this weekend in Miami, Florida.
We spoke with James just before his flight, and his confidence was soaring pretty high… “Yeah, since I’m a Red Bull rider and can’t actually be judged in the event, I figure I might as well just go ahead and break the distance record so that everyone remembers me,” said James with a grin.
Unfortunately for our boy JS, however, flying a stationary motorcycle off of a dock (with no motor) wasn’t quite as easy as he thought it might be; though James did put in a solid attempt, his distance was quite a bit shy of the winning team’s. Still, it was all in the name of fun for Stewart, and he definitely accomplished that goal.
“Red Bull Flugtag in Miami was a blast! It took me out of being so serious from what I normally do, which is racing. Red Bull does so many cool things and being one of their athletes, the opportunities are just unlimited. I want to go for the record again!”
