Super Slow-Moto: The "Bubba Scrub" w/ James Stewart
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ค. 2015
- Watch an ultra slow-mo explanation of the scrub by the man who brought it to moto: James Stewart.
No riding technique has revolutionized modern motocross like the Bubba Scrub. When James Stewart hopped on the pro scene in 2002 at a ripe 16, he brought with him enough youthful exuberance to shame a Justin Bieber concert. What’s more, it showed in his riding. Stewart was always an animated rider, moving all over the bike when he was on the track.
During his early years as a pro, he developed a technique of throwing the bike sideways on the face of jumps, which allowed him to hit the jumps with more speed while at the same time staying lower than other riders. This ultimately allowed him to put power to the ground more quickly. What became known as the Bubba Scrub not only helped lap times, it also looked awesome.

I bubba scrubbed in 1975 on my RM 125. . . it was no big deal. But I did go to the hospital.
Same, bubba scrubbed the rail roads stones a few times and Had a friend bubba scrub the back of my snowmobile flipping both of us. 🤕
Hahaha your hilarious dude
Danny Magoo Chandler invented the "bubba scrub" bubba Stewart a bald headed liar 😭
Heh, heh, I was winking to myself, thinking of how I would carry this off back in my MX days in the early '70s - at the bikes most horizontal, I would have likely been turning loose of the grips, throwing my arms outward and upward, preparing for a full body slam landing in the boonies...! Tongue in cheek of course but things like this we only started seeing in the experts when they came over from Europe.
@@whalesong999 Europe? The Americans are the best MX riders
You have to ride dirt bikes to fully appreciate how difficult something like this is. Incredible riders like Stewart make it look almost effortless.
I can't even tail whip
+MCnugget MCnugget it must be hard
Being that fucking stupid
well said. i've tried explaining this to people my whole life.
Agreed. Been riding track bush and a lil fmx for 25 years and it's still the best thing to watch on a bike. The way he gets it flat 3 cm off the ground is fucking nuts.
You are absolutely correct, most of the people commenting don't have a clue how serious of a move that is or just hitting a legitimate double alone for that matter. I rode for 5 or six years before I gathered up the balls to hit a real double. It's amazing how safe a tabe top made me feel
No one that hasn't ridden a motocross bike to a certain level can truly appreciate what James is doing here. The man is an artist.
I ride a mountain bike and I can apreciate it
I remember walking the track at the Nationals after he practiced. There was a crowd at the top of a jump staring down. There was a 4 inch scrape at the apex from his foot peg. Some said it was his hand grip. Legendary.
By the way you tried it.
There's not a damn person in this world who can say this isn't impressive
haters will
+kyle young This isn't impressive
hugh janus except me cause they never showed him land
yeah cause he didn't.. he's still out there floating around...
This is not impressive
Show us the f...ing landing !
Assholes.
the truth is. he doesnt even land the trick! its all fake and there are matts tp catch his fall!
@@Bibibosh they show the landing in different videos he lands it
Rumors said, he land his bike in atlantic.
@stoeger 2 we know we want to see it
I remember getting cross rutted right at the face of an 80ft table top. I ended up accidentally throwing the best scrub of my life
lol facts..
Watch the Whisky Throttle Show with Ricky Carmichael, he talks about when he accidentally threw it too hard and ended up backwards next to Jeremy McGrath and it's really funny to hear him describe it.
@@8180634 Dude Thanks Matt , just watched almost that whole show . Wow huh , Great to know the truth about that picture " out of control " !
I think he is my favorite rider of all time. I’ve been riding dirt bikes for 50 years. I had videos of James when he was a little kid that my kids grew up with. I think no one has the natural talent that James has. Watching this video of him pitching the bike so low up over the top of the ridge is astounding. Keep it up James. You’re the best.
How can I see these videos? He's my favorite of all time as well. I'd love to see his mini days.
I have my own move.. it’s called the willy scrub.. I do it in the shower a lot when the old lady passes on me.
Damn. Good one.
😂😂😂
😭😭
1. Pull panties down
2. Insert
That one made me laugh. Omg
The fact this kid outa nowhere originated something that every single rider emulates has always been amazing to me. McGrath started soaking up jumps to stay lower and James took it to another level...
He didn't "originate" it! He updated it, yes!
I'm still bummed the way he left. I'm glad though we did have him for a while. Most talented SX rider so far.
Anyone else watch this every 3 months when it re-emerges from the depths of TH-cam lol
When you're afraid of heights but love to jump. Lol
Underrated lol
He ain't afraid of nothing....
Lol
OK? I'm a street bike rider. What is the point of it?
@tvdinner325 Stay low in the air to either pass someone or keep a good gap in front of someone your beating.
It reduce lap times significantly also.
The way he talks about doing makes it feel like the bike is alive and you have to trust it to do its own thing it's incredible
This dude absolutely CHANGED the way people race Motocross. He definitely is a transcendent figure and is one of my favorite athletes of all sports.
Amazing! That man completely shook the motocross/supercross world to its foundation!
I wonder how many champions lost many nights sleep because of Bubba Stewart.
Chad Reed was pushed to the breaking point. Ricky Carmichael was forced into early retirement.
Dozens of others basically gave up!
The man is a legend and left a legacy that will never be forgotten!
I'll admit
The first time I saw him do this I was like
What in the world is that man doin' !?!?
Then I watched him pass three people doing it.
I was truly impressed
Man I remember the wars between RC (Suzuki), Reeves (Yamaha), and Bubba (Kawasaki). That was the best motocross has ever been. Or holds up at least with McGrath, Windham and some other boys my mind is blanking on. I still remember how DOMINANT RC was. Bubba was always faster but he would push to hard and was injured too much. Man the sport is gone now. Now it’s all about flips n tricks but this guy is on the Mt Rushmore for sure. I still have the hat you signed for me back at Prairie City! U are a stud and one of my all time favorites. Thanks for the memories Bubba!
I remember one year RC was so far ahead of everyone else in every race, they didn't even show him on the camera feed anymore... after the hole shot, he was gone...
Why tf was he at prairie city?!
never get tired of watching this
on that last clip his grip is litterally 1 inch off the ground while hes hauling ass. James stewart is the best goddamn warrior this sport has really
Bruh have you seen Travis Pastrana... he makes this guy look like a beginner.
IDontBelieveInPenises the guy who doesnt race and just does backflips?!? ok buddy your a 🤡🤡
Garrett Gustafson Umm... the dude stopped going to X games because it wasn't challenging anymore for him...
IDontBelieveInPenises they both are powerful js7 is a pure racer Travis is just all the way around bad ass. You can’t compare them.
IDontBelieveInPenises cause he made more money doing nitro circus thats why dont be a fool😂. Js7 doesnt do backflips and Travis cant hold a candle to James in racing
his boot is draging in the dirt on the last one, freaking insane. trust, he lands everyone.
The king of the scrub!
+Ride or Die Hell yeah : D
2P 2R Ahaha
Ride or Die moshi
.. and the King of crashing.....
Also the inventor of this Manoeuvre
Throttle almost sliding against the ground!!!!!! Wow. I did that once but I was already laid over in the dirt. I fell lol. Lowside tip in a sand berm that blew out
Jonathan Souza I was thinking that if you touch the bars you crash. What did he have there for clearance, 2 inches
This guy is on another lever. His voice so inspiring. Not condescending. Just great advice. You can here he's so smart. So committed yet humble. Big up to you bro. Cheers
It cuts .75 seconds off the air time which translates into an additional .75 seconds of acceleration between the hills. It's brilliant.
The best and most insane motocross rider of all time
The biggest issue I’ve seen with people learning to scrub is speed. A lot of people don’t understand this move is out of necessity as James stated. A lot of guys go into it timid w/ a lack of speed and end up on the ground. It’s a beautiful move that feels effortless when it’s done correctly.
We all miss James “Bubba” Stewart. Mega Talent & Determination. Super Entertaining. These MX Dudes are like Gods to me!!
(Figuratively).
Damn James, you are what God gives to all he loves!!! And you are humble with the gifts that he has given you you're a great Rider bro one of the best..😎
Not single one landing shown. Great job
+Motocross Addicts it's not me, but this video makes it like he can't land any one of those, they wouldn't cut out all of them otherwise
Gusto if chuck norris rode moto he would only jump, never land
Gusto
I would think the jumps would flatten, out of pure fear of Mr, Norris
HeyDude93gt truth. Nothing wants to get hit by Chuck Norris not even jumps
I know, I wanna see the recover portion too wtf
This was going to go or blow’ he sent it at all times! Most exciting dirt bike racers off all time! Incredible’ I was blessed to watch him live 3 times.
Simply amazing. I remember the first time I saw him do this and it’s still incredible.
i bubba scrubbed my gf last night and she left me
Hopefully there wasn’t bumps up to it and you could slide both wheels off the face of it
dude, pump it and dump it, hit it and quit it!!
Hahaha, that's funny!
I just pictures Taj in Van Wilder lubed up sliding off the chick onto the floor 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 can't stop laughing
Should have done one of Carmichael's moves 🤣
Truely awesome. The inventor. "I don't do it alot, but when I do, I make it count" Fun fact: if tires are off the ground I can't get back on gas to go faster. This was literally for scrubbing "hang time" by fractions of seconds. If your head to head with someone and go off the same face. Who ever tires hits ground first. Well obv advantage. The roaming single in vid prime example. Nothing like when he is a bike length behind guy and lands before him.
It also allows him to approach the jump faster. Without the scrub you have to limit your approach speed or you will over jump the landing and flat land which can be disastrous on big jumps. By removing the rebound with scrub you won't jump as far which allows you to carry more speed into the face.
James developed this in an age when big air was everything. It was the antithesis of motocross protocol. True pioneer and courage.
James Stewart will in fact be the GREATEST that has ever gone it. No one can ever replace him.
Ahhh, richie "ALL CAPS" horton is back. Whatchoo mad about today RICHIE?
Just beautiful !!! :o
There's a ton of guys that scrub today...... But not many can "Bubba Scrub"
I scrub my bubba every morning.
Great lesson. Bubba knows how to explain the moves,and the 'feel' of the technique as it is when done properly. Many of the top riders cannot articulate what they do,or break down a useful technique into its basic steps. More!
because he is so smart
Awesome !!
I could watch this short vid a dozen times .... unreal.
Gives me chills.
Nobody. No person. No thing. Will ever compare or compete with the level this guy was on. Hands down
RC4.
You forgot Jeremy McGrath ?????
@@glutenfreegam3r177 and Jeremy McGrath ?? Right
@@dominicchallenger5880 What McGrath did for the sport was unmistakably awesome for sure but I can comfortably say that there are NO other riders that could compete on the level with RC for long. Nearly 10 years he straight DOMINATED both MX & SX (13 championships between the 2 series) w/ 2 perfect MX seasons nestled in there. I will say this...MX & SX would NOT be there sport it is today without good ol JM!
just an awesome vid/athlete as usual from red bull. I truly expect to see new tire designs because of this. my racing put me in a chair, but I still live/thrive for our sport to advance in every direction available!!! you go, James!
My kids are learning to ride so it’s fun to show them stuff like this as they understand better how amazing this actually is
Anyone doubts Stewart, more than anyone in history, changed Motocross forever?
I’m so happy the X sports are not trending in same direction as PC culture!
Keep up the progression !
Wow! Impressive. And got to respect his humility.
One of the coolest moves in moto cross. Saved so much time.
To this day, he's the only one that scrubs that low
Then watch Gasjer do a scrub and get back to me.
Nice maneuver.
Love that hugging the ground at 1inch!!
>:)
That last quote.... Dudes a badass!! Mad props
Holy cow. The skill it takes to do this. Amazing footage
James...he went from pretty much last to first in a supercross race in 2014. Who else could have done it?
halfasheep Imo, Carmichael when he was at his pinnacle could have done it. I mean, the guy was bloody unstoppable. Or McGrath but it was so long ago, MX and SX have evolved too much since then. But you're right, not a lot of riders are capable of such a thing
Mac Mourning +halfasheep Lol does Ricky count when he lapped the entire field or does the 2 perfect seasons count, maby its when he beat James every week end. Dont take this the wrong way James is one of the most talented riders I've ever seen but hes not the only one
Maczust63 According to RC himself, James Stewart is the fastest person to ever ride a dirtbike, period.
Fred Crider III He is so fast that he rides it beyond the point where he could control it and that's why he had so many crashes in his career. A lot of those crashes cost him races.
blablafingbla I know. Its the difference between being the best there ever was and the fastest there ever has been. He stayed on the edge a lot. But, lets not forget the perfect outdoor season and the two indoor championships. He's shown consistency and I think this coming sx season will be his.
This was such a game changer in MX, Down-Hill mountain bikers do it for the same reason, less time in the air, faster times at the finish. & Yes there is a difference between the Bubba-Scrubb, and the Scrub.
Why is everyone complaining that they didn't show him land it? This is his version of a "scrub" and he is the master at it. I've seen him do it plenty of times on tv and videos.
That was so beautiful it brought a tear to my eye
bubba is good people had the pleasure to meet him and his family thru my cousin tony haynes the first 259 broke his neck but it happenes james and james sr malcom whole fam just are some good people god bless yall
This comment is proof America spends way too little on education
Stone age reply.....
a breezy
Lol why are you talking about china? I'm Irish all the way baby. I love knowing my kids won't get shot up at school and that my elections are fair. póg mo thóin
oh shit irish im so sorry 4 you lil man
Now let's see if we can get a hand drag that would be the next level ;)
that would be legitness
He did lol
That's a low low low scrub. Bubba man, your awesome. The best!
I have watched this guy his whole carrier and he is top knotch in every way. Keep both wheels in the grove BUBBA YOU THE MAN
I bubba scrubbed so low i slid across the ground
Didn't show him land it :(
+Motocross Addicts be good to see the ride away
Flew James on Pvt flight once. Very nice gentleman...amazing talent.
Really miss you in the supercross, James. Talent is talent!
You guys are making it sound like just because they didn't show the landing there's no proof he can pull it off, watch some old race coverage this guy is an animal in every way on a bike.
Shane Cooper No one said nothing about proof, we just want to see the landing! Is that wrong?
This is one of the dumbest comments I've ever posted (2 years ago) how tf did it get likes?? lmao I agree though 100& the landing is one of the coolest parts not even one shot of it wtf!?
Shane Cooper, that just goes to show that if you toss shit up high enough, eventually, someone will be under it to land on.
Shane Cooper Preach bro!
What's the point of cutting off the landing?
Truely awesome. The inventor. "I don't do it alot, but when I do, I make it count"
Fun fact: if tires are off the ground I can't get back on gas to go faster. This was literally for scrubbing "hang time" by fractions of seconds. If your head to head with someone and go off the same face. Who ever tires hits ground first. Well obv advantage. The roaming single in vid prime example. Nothing like when he is a bike length behind guy and lands before him.
At the top of the jump his centre of gravity is lower. He's basically made that jump 2 foot lower than it is, giving him a flatter trajectory.
You can't accelerate while you're in the air. In the air, your velocity is ALWAYS decreasing. If you scrub the jump, you have wheels on the ground sooner and can accelerate sooner than people who choose to jump it. (meaning, they are in the air while you're already on the ground accelerating away)
Always so cool to me when people invent a whole new technique in something, especially when it changes the whole thing. Like the Fosbury flop in high jump
This is just awesome to the max!
I like the Gump Dump better.
hacks
Super strong video capture of that move. Very nice.
Absolutely any hate you ever hear or see is 99% gonna come from younger kids who weren't old enough to remember watching motocross in the 90's all the way up until now. You have absolutely no say in shit! We watched this guy from a kid explode his talent all over the MF track and no-one will ever be James again!
th-cam.com/video/kXriMVFlWoY/w-d-xo.html
haters, where ya at????
pshh only sideways? do an upside down scrub.
bdub z you sir are an idiot if you are serious
they do those when they land a really low scrub... bars drag at speed and scorpion the bike.
Took Moto to another level with this.
Dang man. That’s friggin awesome.
Neither Ricky Carmichael, Jeremy McGrath, Roger Decoster, Ryan Villapolo nor Ryan Dungy ever did a "Bubba Scrub" and correct me if im wrong but weren't they WAY better than Bubba?
Kenneth Wise I’ve seen many of those guys race live and none of them had the raw talent and “crazy” factor of stewart. He was able to put down lightening quick laps but was so on the edge that he would go down a lot. This is why he either finished in first place, or finished on the ground. He always rode at 110% and hurt is career because of that, namely washing the front end in corners, wrecklessly hitting whoops or overriding the bike in rhythm sections. He’s the fastest of all those guys on a good day, but wasn’t consistent.
SuzukiKid400 sorry but speed does not win you championships, it's being smart and riding smart, both very important qualities that James Bubba Stewart does not possess.
Kenneth Wise I agree with you. That was my comment about consistency and going down a lot. If he would have dialed it back and ridden at 99% more he likely could have been the best ever...but in reality he was always throwing away races because he was on the ground from doing something wreckless. Regardless, he still was my favourite rider to watch as he was very entertaining!
They're all talented less mistakes wins championships ask chad reed he'd have like 7 or 8 but made small stupid mistakes
Timothy Hall, I hear you but personally I think Chad Reed needs to just hang it up and retire.
He didn’t invent it been done for years before he was even born
Jo Jo Keller
You must be thinking of a standard scrub. Anybody can do a standard scrub but the "Bubba Scrub" was invented by James. Yes you can get low on a scrub but the bubba scrub was revolutionary.
Riley Ring
Nope
That’s a sick move, luvz it.
Congrats,James !!!You really "Bubba Scrubbed" it !!!!!!!
Total classic, no one can deny
very informative and well put together!
1:29 what a beautiful movement! Congratulations!
amazing skill, amazing super slow mo!
This is beautiful!
Makes me smile Everytime ❤️
Some amazing footage man, dope.
James is a BRILLIANT rider, AND he has the best grin in motocross...!
I finally know the name of it!!! Coolest move in mx.
Pure talent, literally inches above the ground...
Wow! Damn! That's cool and different! Thanks.
That's absolutely amazing
Beatiful. Show!!!!
The things this man does is unreal!!
Awesome!!
Thanks it is a sweet move,I did something similar at Gainsville in 1997,only because my bike had a broken and malfunctioning power valve,and only had power close to top end,which sucked so on the finish line hill,I hit a bump near the bottom of the hill and laid the bike over just to land early on the edge if the top of the hill to get a long run at the new double they just put in,I was just playing jumps are all I cared about,later K DUB ,and RC,started using my line,the pro race...so that was rewarding,but I seen u do this and the progression of it u used to do a little squash at first just to totally kill rebound,it bad ads and so cool,but know doubt it looks a little scary dragging that peg low...u never know when the heat will get to ur fork and shock and affect ur ride height....piece out,nice slow mo,and great camera work.....
And i was thinging it was a movie that i had not seen with Jimmy Stewart. Awesome move.
My all time favorite rider. He’s why I watch super cross
The last thing to leave the ground ?.....anyone ? Anybody?.... The handlebar end!! Watch the vid again till the very VERY end and you will see he brushes the dirt with his bar end and then his pinky finger flicks the dirt ! That's ultimate control if the bike right there and more finesse than a brain surgeon. I love watching these slo no films. When you disect the difference of riders in slo mo you can see why stewart was so much faster than everyone else. Everyone always talks about the raw natural talent that windham had and I'm not taking that away from Kevin but when they slow down the tape of stewart you can see he has that smoothness and talent that windham had he was just so fast it's hard to pick up on
I scrubbed a small jump coming out of the woods once. It was an awesome feeling, I've never done it again
