07/29/2010 | BUBBA’S BACK!
For weeks now you’ve likely heard or read the rumors and gossip about James’ return to racing, but the time has FINALLY come to make the “official” announcement. After several months of sitting on the sidelines due to injury, James has officially registered to race the remaining four rounds of the 2010 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship series!
James’ return has been highly anticipated by all, and the famed Unadilla circuit on August 14th in New Berlin, New York will mark the site of his official return to the Nationals after a near two-year absence. Having conquered the series with a perfect 24-24 season in 2008, the biggest question still remaining on everyone’s mind is if he can derail series points leader Ryan Dungey from his amazing win streak. Who’s got their money on JS7?

07/10/2010 | James Takes The Plunge At Red Bull Flugtag In Miami
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!”
Check out the attached photo gallery to see James in action!

07/07/2010 | JAMES’ RETURN TO RACING
James’ pre-Nationals visit to DMXS Radio, as well as a recent leak in information on the Facebook page of his trusty gear sponsor Answer Racing, has led to a ton of speculation and hardcore bench racing regarding the former National MX champ’s return to racing this summer. Though his nagging, slow-healing wrist injury prevented his return to racing by the 2010 Pro Motocross Championship series opener at Hangtown, James has been focused and determined to join the series just as soon as humanly possible. With a recent blessing from his doctor to make a slow, pain-dependent return to riding, James now has his head down in an attempt to get back up to racing speed in the coming few weeks. Here’s a quick word from James on his progress and potential return…
“I’m working hard every day in the gym, and I’m also starting to ride more and more in hopes of making a strong comeback before the end of the Nationals. My goal right now is to make it back for the last four races [Unadilla, Southwick, Steel City, and Pala]—that’s the hope—but we are assessing my riding everyday to see if that time frame is actually possible. As soon as my team and I make a firm commitment to attend a race, my fans will be the first to know at JS7.com!”

07/06/2010 | JAMES IN FOR RED BULL FLUGTAG MIAMI!
The rumors have been circulating for quite a while now, and it’s time to announce that the rumors are absolutely true! James will be competing this coming weekend (July 10th) at the Red Bull Flugtag in Miami, Florida aboard the most bizarre YZ450F you’ve ever seen! What in the world is Flugtag, you might ask?
Red Bull Flugtag challenges teams of everyday people to build homemade, human-powered flying machines and pilot them off a 30-foot high deck in hopes of achieving flight! Flugtag may mean “flying day” in German, but all these crafts ultimately splash into the waters below. They are judged not only on their flight’s distance, but creativity and showmanship, as well.
To help challenge the flight record that currently stands at 155 feet, James enlisted the engineering help of Randy Yoho to modify his Yami, and the human rocket power of good friends Anthony Paggio and Eric Sorby to help get him off the ground.
Want to see a sneak peek of James and his funky flying machine? Click the link below to check out a quick vid and photo posted by our friends over at Vurb Moto (James [Almost] In Flight).

07/02/2010 | New Photos Of James Back On His Bike
Okay, we know what you’re thinking… Judging from these whip photos, James has really been riding for quite some time now, but keeping it a secret on his private track at home in Florida. Wrong! This gallery is literally from James Stewart’s first day back on a bike after more than four months off… And while Stewart’s wrist was a bit sore after throwing these upside-down beauties (which was to be expected), even James himself was pretty amazed at how his whips somehow managed to get even BIGGER during all that time off.
