Yesterday afternoon, Yamaha Motor Coporation officially honored their newest Supercross Champion, San Manuel/L&M rider, James Stewart. The event took place at Yamaha’s headquarters in Cypress, CA and all of the Yamaha employees were invited outside to take part in the celebration. Speakers included Yamaha team manager Keith McCarty, L&M owner/manager Larry Brooks, and a nostalgic speech by Doug Henry before James Stewart took to the podium.

Awesome to see Dougy Henry on his own 2 feet, and that asian dood was super pumped… Horry morry!

It was an amazing moment to witness Doug Henry walk up a hill to the podium and give a speech!

Seeing both James and Doug up on the podium got me thinking about how long they have both been around and I realized that they both appeared in the very first Terrafirma Fox video back in 1994, Doug on a factory Honda and Stewart on a Yamaha PW50. That was fifteen years ago! :O

I guess we will find out in a week.

yeah thats nice to see Henry walking again. Reeds gotta be weeping knowing that he rode Yamaha's and now they dissed him for Bubba.

You might not like Bubba but u gotta respect the guy. I kept thinking if I was Bubba I woulda punched Chad or took him out but now I know why he keeps his cool. Theres too much at stake, Red bull Yamaha and allsponsors plus he's gotta be a role model.

I still like Chisolm. He's still a nice guy
May 16th, 2009 at 1:07 am
Damn !!! they didnt do that for Chad last year. Id be pissed if I was Chad. I heard Nike was gonna sponsor Reed and then Bubba took that spot away. So reed has a good reason not to like JS. JS is costing him$

hey Kevin if you got paid as much as Bubba you would keep your cool.

James is the best, he deserves all the lavish treatment we could ever dish out lol
May 16th, 2009 at 4:28 pm
It is sad to read all your bad comment's about JS, only because of his color but all you need to realize that James is a american rider and he is the fastest and the best rider overall, Reed and the other hand is dirty and a big cry baby, I was'not born in the USA but I love this country probably more than a lot's of american's and I'm happy to see a American rider using the #1 plate….Go Bubba.

Come on man. San Manuel has never won a series. Last year Reed gave it all he had but couldn't pull it off. Then Stewart comes along this year and takes it. That is a reason to celebrate.

everyone needs to shut up. i mean.. they have to start somewhere, right? you can't say, "they didn't do that last year," well maybe they didnt think of it. NOW! if they don't do this agian next year for whoever wins then that will be different.. but at the same time.. maybe it didnt work out this year and they decide not to do it again. it s just a coincidence that james got the long end of the stick

They probaly wanted to do this last year but Chad was on his way back to Australia….remember he ditch America and went home….
