If there is something, indeed someone, iconic in the history of American motocross the thought cannot help but go to James “Bubba” Stewart and Ricky “The GOAT” Carmichael.
So why not make a good documentary about their lives and careers? We had thought of that with our StoryTime but Netflix did too. And so, on the popular streaming app, a documentary about Carmichael and Stewart, of all people, will arrive around the end of 2025.
Footage, interviews and never-before-seen stories will go over the history of two of the AMA’s most successful riders: 16 titles for Carmichael and 7 for Stewart. However, the tale will also enter the private lives of the two protagonists by delving not only into their victories but also into the training and difficulties they experienced during their long careers.
A common thread in the documentary, moreover, will be the rivalry between Carmichael and Stewart. Indeed, the two of them, in the 2000s, wrote indelible pages of motocross history with battles to win races and championships that will forever remain etched in the memory of fans of treaded wheels.
Want a trailer of what were the careers of Ricky Carmichael and James Stewart before enjoying the Netflix-signed documentary? Here are our StoryTime on the history of these two iconic pilots.
