Is Bubba Just Dumb or the New Villain Of MX?

I am beginning to wonder if Bubba is just dumb or the new villain of MX.

Every time someone passes him he relentlessly bumps into them too often to be coincidence.

It could be that he really doesn't know that trying to take out the people that pass him could cause trouble.

OR

He doesn't care that trying to take out the people that pass him will cause trouble.

You know the old saying, "If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and flies like a duck it's probably a duck."

I keep thinking about when Mike Tyson bit off Evander Holyfields ear.

It's racing, it's a dirty sport! He's neither.....he's a human being.

He is both dumb and a villan. He should be fined by AMA. He's quitter. I respect his speed and talent, but not his stupity and attitude. Hopefully, maturity will come around for him. If not, he'll soon be the "Black Eye" of the sport. Lets hope not.

Man hes kinda like to rookie of the 250 class so i dont think hes either i mean come on

It's tough for someone who was used to winning and talked and believed he would be winning to be losing. In interviews, he said "I've only lost like two races in two years." He has been taking people out for years, ask Matt Walker he used him like a berm, Matt said I thought guys on the same team weren't supposed to take each other out.Racing is racing, but be clean if you can.

Hey Ruff_Ryder,
Rookie? How long has he raced professional? He knows better. I am tired of his "Take Outs." If it is bar to bar racing, and somebody goes down, then that is racing. If he jumps on somebody from behind, that is a cheap shot. Two weeks ago, he knew he was guilty of taking Windham out. That is why he let Windham by when he caught up. Pretty soon, he will hurt himself or somebody else very seriosly. He needs to be fined. Mature into a man, instead of a whinning baby.

True!

Cheap shot, I think not... mistake, yes!

He needs to be fined. Mature into a man, instead of a whinning baby.

Fines are for something he as done wrong to degress the sport around him. He hasn't done anything wrong just gone balls out and failed but he will soon get there. And by the way I haven't seen Bubba whining for a couple of weeks so he is gaining ground.

Thats bull s h i t racing is racin and u wouldent know if it was cheep or not what the f u c k.

i think every1 knows he wants to win and will try anything but why would he try to hurt rc?

i agree wit ruff rider and i just finished reading the statement that stewart made today. He spoke to Rc and he clearly explained his part of the story and he did not land on him on purpose. I wanted to see him race this weekend but i guess i'll have to wait for the next race, i kno he's not that interested in points no more because he is far away so he won't have nothing to lose no more.

Bubba can make any excuse he wants! What is your excuse for Bubba calling Ricky five days after the event? He should have called earlier in the week. I personally think Bubba was made to call him by Kawasaki or another major sponsor. Unfortunately, Bubba is getting a lot of bad publicity, nonetheless, he brings it on himself. Once sponsors start voicing their opinion of his reckless riding or take outs ("Racing")he'll change his attitude. I would defenately like to see a less cocky bubba. I was a Bubba fan up until he entered the 250 ranks. But, to many shananagins from this guy. Mature Bubba! Mature! He'll come around in a couple of years. I wish he would put results where his mouth is!

Stewart added, Â“I personally called Ricky today, and explained that I did not mean to land on him while we were racing for the win at Unadilla. I would never land on anyone on purpose, especially a Champion like Ricky who I have always respected, and I am glad that Ricky was not hurt. The reason it happened is that I needed a strong drive from the turn before the jump to carry momentum up the next hill, so I was sweeping the outside. That's what I was doing every lap, and I didn't realize that I was going so much faster and that we would come together.

I believe that Bubba called Rc to explain his part of the story, not to apologize. He don't owe Rc no apology because he didn't do nothing wrong. I also believe he is a free man and could've called Rc when ever he pleased, not when a major sponser or anyone else wanted. It's good from his part so there won't be no misunderstanding on the accident. James stewart didn't have a reason to land on Rc and if any of u got a REAL good reason why he could've done it...speak up!

Look at the picture that is taken from the back. Bubba is maybe 6" to the left of RCs line. Basically, following. If he needs to carry momentum, don't follow, dumbass! You ever hear that phrase, "You can't pass somebody when you follow them!"?????? I am sure he is pressured by somebody to call RC. I don't think it is in Bubba's nature and personality to go out on a limb and make the call. He has to much pride!

^^^ you have a wrong view on the situtation. First of all you think Stewart has pride right now? that is BS because he did something very humble in that he called Ricky to let him hear his side of the story and that it was an accident. As Stewart said earlier, that RC was behind him the whole day and he didn't know what line RC was taking so the first time around he expected his line to be similar to Ricky's in that they would have the same speed. Turns out that Bubba's line was faster and instead of ending up behind Ricky they got in a little tango. You seem like a Bubba hater so you might as well hate the sport because where would it be if we never saw James on the face of the Earth again? It would just be another weekend at the races watching Ricky take it home. Bubba is the only one who has shown speed to keep up with Ricky just his conditioning is lacking. How is Bubba cocky or prideful? I really don't get that because he has become humble in the past two races with Windham and Ricky. What do you expect is going to happen when you throw 4 of the best riders in the world together in a single race? Things are going to happen because there is so much drive between the competitors. Please explain yourself further because I don't understand where you find pride from this pass incident. Who are you to judge Bubba's personality and integrity? None of us are... James and Ricky have been friends for a very long time and a heck of alot longer than you think. His move to call Ricky was graceful and humble.

I really don't think Bubba intended to take RC out he's just young and arrogant. I'm sure Ricky was pretty similar when he was younger but I wasn't following MX back then so I don't know for sure. I hope as Bubba gets older her mature and grow as a person and a rider and leave the arrogance and unnecessary aggression behind him.

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!
