I am a big fan of Bubba! The season was great and I really thought Chad would have pulled through.


Can't wait for 2010 season

Ya Windham has always been a solid rider. I would love to see Carmichael come back and Mcgrath if he could get his speed up there

i think bubba is on track to break some more records if he stays as fast as hes been,and yeah i really wish mcgrath would come back and be as fast as he once was

I could see him breaking some!

I think he could do it just would have to put in the time in practice and get back out there

I just watched the ESPN E:60 on the guy and it was pretty amazing. he went through a ton of bull**** to get where he is. Living in the south and being an African American succeeding in a predominantly white sport must be tough.

^either that or breaking his neck in a race. that guy is awesome and rides with reckless abandon.

yeah your right and it sometimes comes back to haunt you which it has costed him before by riding like that,he triples alot of jumps that other guys are doubling

I agree he rides great sometimes reckless but you can't be the best with out taking risk.

My cousin use to race dirtbikes he almost made it to the pro races but he got tired of breaking stuf.......He has broke his colar bone like 3 times along with many many many others

yeah the colar bone is a very common break in moto/supercross.i have raced some myself but never got near pro level really didnt have the funds needed to compete at higher levels,i stayed around d and c class.never broke anything thankfully other than a few bike parts lol.did mess my wrist up alittle on one but all in all not to bad.i do know a guy that was super fast and ran in the a class i mean he dominated,but he never went on up to pro instead went over to freestyle but hasnt made it big in that yet.he travels around and takes his jump with him and just does a few minor shows here and there,i think he would have had a great shot in the pro ranks,he was basically racing with guys in the a class that were ready to go pro i dont know why he made the switch


and racing you have to be in great shape,people may not believe that but its very true,couple laps wears you down pretty good,i used to get arm pump so bad sometimes it felt like my forearms were gonna explode if i didnt ride everyday lol.i just dont like exercising alot never have,and that didnt help me any either lol.but without a doubt this is another of my favorite sports ever
