What are the chances that GoPro sat down with James Stewart at the start of the season, wrote a figure so big it gets out of breath just standing up, on a piece of paper and said, "we want some good footage"? Now before people start calling lawyers and what not, I'm just saying what are the chances? I'm not saying that this is the case so just pipe down. Everybody knows that a holeshot and a 15-20 second win margin makes for crap TV, so why not win occasionally and spend the rest of the time, crashing and charging back through traffic? Much better for couch potatoes at home (Reed I'm looking at you). So far Stewart has crashed at all but two rounds(Oakland and Atlanta), Gopro has all these up on YouTube with a killer amount of hits on each one. I'm just saying they make for some good watching, and this weeks round in St. Louis was no exception, Stewart gets a bad start, then crashes and then puts down laps that only Villopoto was beating and James was in traffic! That's fuckin' ridiculous! Just watch this video and tell me if Stewart doesn't start up front he doesn't win or at least podium. The guy didn't let GoPro down this week, highlights include:
- 0:07 Falling asleep on the line so Wiemer and Seely can box him off at the start.
- 0:12 Slams into Alessi (every video should have one of these).
- 0:18 Tickles rear wheel coming at his face like a buzzsaw from the David Copperfield magic trick where he gets cut in half.
- 0:39 Goes down after and elbow fight with Top Jimmy
- 2:07 A double pass on Tickle on Kiniry, just because he can.
- 2:44 Another attack on Alessi.
- 3:25 Cheeky look at Wiemer as he tells him to sit the fuck down.
- 3:46 Runs it way too deep in on my boy Seely, Douche!
- 3:59 There seems to be what Ping would describe as "a large silverback gorilla riding a tricycle" on the track, turns out it's Davi Millsaps
- 5:03 Some sort of goon head whip over the finish line.
Who needs those championships huh? Oh JGR probably.
