James Stewart

James was born on December,21 1995 in Bartow, Florida USA. ("James Stewart- super-cross star")He wanted to become the first African American to be a motocross superstar to turn pro. He wanted to become the Tiger woods of motocross. He was introduced to motocross by his father. His father was into motocross but wasn't as good as other people so he couldn't really go on to be a star. He is a renaissance man because he pushed everything to the limits and never gave up and made the most of his technology. He was introduced to this sport when he was two his dad gave him a ride around the lawn. Then James entered his first race when he was three and won it and then his dad knew he was going to be successful.("Calvin Hastings/ James Stewart ")He began to shine above his peers at 7 years old. Through out his amateur career he won 11 amateur titles.

He became pro when he was 16 years old. Until then he worked his way their one race at a time. His mom and dad were poor though so both his parents couldn't come to every race because his father had to work very hard. So he could afford to go to the race and risk losing a job.("James Stewart-Super-cross Legend") But James made it up to his dad when won the race he would give all the money to his dad and that way his dad only had to work one job instead of four which it made James more happy cause he could have his dad help him in school and practice on the track.("James Stewart")

James is the first African American to become a motocross superstar. Even when James didn't have the best bike he pulled through and pushed the bike until he crossed that finish line. When he was young he didn't have the money to buy a nice bike so he just did the best he could do with what he had.James is known as the Tiger Woods of motocross. That is what he wished for when he was a little kid and he pushed the limits of everything and that's what Tiger did so that's what they call him and he is the best motorcyclist that I know of. He has this one whip that is named bubba scrub, one race he did and the crowd went nuts because they have never seen anything like it and that's why it's the bubba scrub.

Now he and his father train everyday from the time he and his dad wake up until they go to bed. When you look in their fridge there's all protein no snickers candy - that's one of the reasons he can push himself to the limit. The other reason is he loves to drink water which is very good and it doesn't make u throw up when you're riding hard and flying over the jumps. He doesn't eat any junk food for any of the three course meals. He eats a lot of protein and every morning he goes for one lap running around his track with all his gear on James dad says "so he will appreciate the bike cause every second counts. You just can't go out there and ride lousy. You have to ride like u appreciate it." James' dad also says "If he doesn't do it fast enough he will have to do it again."

He is a renaissance man because he pushed the limits of motocross from the time he began to the now and he is still pushing the limits. He made the best of his technology, and he made motocross more popular. That matters to me because if it wasn't for him then motocross wouldn't be a big as is now.
