James "Bubba" Stewart

James Stewart (http://www.mcnews.com.)

James Stewart was born on December 21, 1985. He started his racing career at the age of four. His father James Stewart Sr. was a very big motocross fan so he got James into the racing business. James had won many Amateur national titles before he was the age of sixteen. James is the most successful African American Motocross Rider ever known.

Stewart is my hero because ever since my dad bought me a dirt bike I have dreamed of being a famous motocross rider. Stewart has inspired me to just get out and ride the hardest I can. Ever since I have heard of Stewart and watched his races I have been practicing on some local tracks to master this sport.

Stewart has inspired me to race even more than I did because he rarely wrecks and he wins most of his races by five or ten seconds. He is now the fastest man on the planet. If I could be as fast as Stewart or better my dream would come true. Stewart has so many sponsors that they will hardly fit on his dirt bike.

He inspires me because he tries his best and gives it 100 percent instead of 99.99 percent. In one of his races he started out dead last and tried his hardest to get to the front of the forty person race and he came out in first. He also rides to have fun and does not try to hurt anybody. He usually does not intentionally try to wreck or hurt someone but he might do it by accident. This is why I want to be just like him so that I can race well and have the best time of my life.

James is the best Motocross rider and that is why he is my hero because I want to be the best Motocross rider. He has inspired many people including me. I look up to him in many ways but the main one is that he inspires people to ride their hardest and do not give up even if you are dead last.
