Between 2005 and 2016, James Stewart completed just one full season of Pro Motocross in the 450 class: 2008.

And in the days, weeks and months leading into that summer, he was dubious of being able to go the distance. His first three years in the class were disasters: it started with an uncompetitive bike and ended with a knee injury. In between, there was Ricky Carmichael, who refused to be beaten even as he headed into the sunset.

It seemed like Stewart couldn’t win.

Then he won everything.

Four years after Carmichael completed his second perfect season (which you can hear about in episode #26), James Stewart also did it. And Stewart did it despite thinking that ‘08 was going to be “another crappy year”.
