I really wish he would have stayed in it longer. he has so many fans and now theres no one to compete with bubba.

i'm hoping reed will step up his game and be able to compete with stewart...he's already proven that he can

me 2...that was a good battle. but u can see bubba is getting faster than him too...if he would race the whole season, bubba would deffinately win the championship this year. but he was my all time favorite bike rider..and he raced a SUZUKI! :cool:

Yeah, :( I wonder how long Bubba will be the reigning champion...

Probably for a while. Theres nobody that comes close to his speed,even though he has wrecks often he is just fast.Chad Reed would be the next closest but he still has work to do to be as fast as Bubba.

If he dont end up hurtin himself i can see him outdoing ricky's supercross wins. but i cant ever seem him catchin ricky in the outroors. 3 undefeated outdoor seasons. cant get any better than that.

I got yelled at yesterday for yelling at the TV when RC pulled up beside Bubba. I wish he would have won that race. Yes, Ricky is one of the best supercross riders, but I still place him third in the list of greatest rider ever.
As for Chad Reed, he doesn't have it. He is a whinny biatch and he won't win another main event.
On Bubba, I still don't like the guy. I don't know why, but I just don't like him. I will say I've NEVER seen anyone hit the whoops like he does, the guy has balls. But RC was like that a few years back also. He'd blitz the whoops almost as fast as Bubba. I won't even watch the remainder of the races now that RC is out and Bubba is going to run away with the Championship.
I'm just waiting for the outdoor season to start now. Maybe Windham can put something together.

Unfortunately, Windham doesn't have the head to beat JS. Give windham a holeshot and a 20sec lead after stewart falling or something and he could probably hold on to it. Windham is a great rider and has TONS of natural talent, but cracks to easily under pressure. Get him out front with no one behind him though and he is gone. ;)

I was never a big RC fan, not sure why, just wasn't. Maybe it was the Kawi thing or something to do with a red headed step child, who knows, LOL. Regardless he did achieve alot of success and set alot of records. He gets my respect for that. Good luck to him in his new racing endeavor.
As far as replacing him, Bubba is the obvious choice. Reed is good, but not "that" good (not nearly as fast as me:D )
I've seen the Villopoto kid race a couple times and he is good too.
I went to the Steel City Nat'l last summer and saw Broc Hepler absolutely dominate the "lites" class. If he can improve his indoors skills some, I think he's got potential. I like him too cause he's from my area. He's even practiced on a track not far from my house in the summertime. There are some homemade videos of him here that my friend made:

One thing I took away from that race--Bubba CAN pass clean if he wants to. Can you imagine the roar from the crowd if he took RC out when he passed him?

It was an okay pass, but he still had to look over at him like an ***.....if I was RC, I would taken him out.

Just as it wasn't the same when McGrath retired as well. Life goes on, someone will step in and become the new posterboy.
