Is Bubba Just Dumb or the New Villain Of MX?

You are becoming a pain in the ass Moto944x125. I am not a "Bubba Hater." I cheered for him thoughout his amature career and in the 125 cc pro ranks. Up until this year. I don't hate bubba. Just am tired of him taking people out (Or, as some of you people with limited racing experience call it, "Racing.") You don't seem to read what is written, instead you just write a bunch of crap. I believe after Millville (TV interview) Bubba said, "There won't be a sweep this year!" Well, two ways, he was correct. Ricky has finished second in two races. Ricky crashed at The Wick and Bubba TOOK HIM OUT AT 'Dilla! Bubba took out Windham, Bubba took out Walker last year... It JUST seems that when Bubba is really pressured, he takes people out. Oh yeah, he tried to take RC out at Millville too. And to Bubba's defense, Ricky had a shakey first year in the 250cc too. All that I would like to see, is for Bubba to mature, shut his mouth, make better judgement calls, and display his massive talent and speed in a positive way. And, for his fans to stop making excuses. We'll see in Washougal. Oh Moto944x125 How is YOUR confidence? I bet Bubba won't beat RC OVERALL for the remainder of the outdoor season!

I'm not taking any sides, however personally I think that it's a matter of the way Bubba races under pressure.

It's his 1st year in the 250 class, Kawasaki spent a fortune on him-he's gotta perform.

i don think bubba is the villan and i dont think hes stupid hes runniing into bad luck give the guy a break, i dont even like him and im standing up for him

me a pain... first off I don't want to bet because that would just be plain dumb and doesn't have to do anything with confidence. As you can see James has had a rough start from Vegas all the way till now. When Bubba is under pressure in a race he races "balls to the wall" and some of the less aggresive riders like Windham and Walker and RC get in a tango with him. This is a learning year for Bubba not a championship year or even a win year. He has been through conditioning problems, injuries, and some different issues that haven't been fully resolved yet. Give him another year and he will jump and leap in knowledge and racing tactics. I just don't like all the BS about a rider who is very talented and brought so much to the table of motocross. I mean read the topic... isn't it a little harsh for a 19 year old racer that is learning the ropes of a 250 class? He is learning and has pressure from Kawasaki, his family, RC and other riders, and most of all himself. As soon as he overcomes the pressure he will be a much consistant and fluent rider.

First it was stitches in RC's finger... now Bubba's landing on RC!

RC deserves more respect than that! Bubba needs to stay out of his way.

I'm sure if someone ran into your back you wouldnt call it "Racing"! Bubba's little brother is just as dangerous to ride with and I ant gonna tell you how I know, but I'm sure you can guess being I live in FL.

they both have very aggresive styles that get them into those situations... must be in the blood

but seriously, Bubba has talent just needs to control that talent. I think if he had as much control and composure as RC he would give RC a run for his money.
