Saturday was the last day of 37th annual Thor Winter National Olympics presented by Pro Circuit.
The rider who had to put in the best ride of the day on Saturday was Kawasaki’s own Malcolm Stewart. Stewart showed some amazing speed and also, showed a dominating performance much like his older brother James. Malcolm went 8-0 in four classes (250 B Stock and Modified/Open B Stock and Modified) today at Gatorback.
Great starts and amazing speed kept him getting the checkers every time around. He rode both Open and 250 B classes on a 250 two stroke, which just sent a shockwave throughout the facility, as Malcolm was able to stay in front of the trusty torque and power of the 450cc four stroke motors with names like Jason Anderson, Eli Tomac, Cody Robbins, AJ Catanzaro, and Shawn Rife all aboard on those machines.
Despite some tough rides and crashes in supercross, Malcolm Stewart had to be the most dominant rider in the motocross program at Gatorback this week.

Just proving what most already knew. Good ride Malcolm!
So true!!
I also found this link posted on the MX UK forum by Jakk. A video of Malcolm being interviewed, racing and looping out during a heat race. The stuff with Malcolm is at the end of the video.

Take heart all you two-stroke fans, they will be back. It will be a movement starting from the seemingly most insignificant, for they will start buying what they can afford. The four-stroke era has taken us like the lemmings, and almost taken us of the cliff. Please note,”almost,” we still have some European brands and Yamaha who were not willing to let the two-stoke go to oblivian. When will this take place?? Well that will be determined on haow soon we start voting with our pocketbooks.
