I had the impression that Bubba might be back for the STL SX, but I haven't heard even a peep. So I'm guessing he won't be in STL. Has anyone heard anything?

Bubba Rides!
- February 28, 2005
Today in southern California was one of those of riding days that you talk about for years to come. The last few weeks So. Cal has been getting hammered by storm after storm. Well the weather has finally broke and its time for some epic riding in the hills of Southern California. With most of the motocross industry already in Atlanta for round 8 of the AMA Supercross series Bubba and some of his buddies took the opportunity to ride on arguable the best dirt in years. With perfect weather Bubba is using this time to start preparing for his comeback to Supercross. Still no set date for which race he will return to but watching him today I'll tell you it won’t be long before we see 259 at a Supercross.
I think that Orlando or Daytona will be his re-debut.
No NO NO he doesnt need to win any races as hes already the fastest mxer on the planet-its just these stupid championships keep getting in the way-far better if everyone just realised hes the best so he doesnt have to prove it???
Anybody catch his MXA interview. "Bubba Scrub" He's got a "remix" version that nobody should be able to do and haven't seen yet either. I can't wait. Last I heard was 3/19 Orlando.
A little more info to fuel the fire. This was posted on racerxill.com today:
And speaking of Ping, here’s a note from SoCal: “When I spoke to Ivan Tedesco the other day, he was at the Kawasaki test track with his Pro Circuit teammate Grant Langston. Ivan told me that Bubba was also doing some testing and looked like he hasn't missed a beat.”
"Dude, that guy is hauling out here,” said Tedesco, who leads the 125 West Region. “It looks like he never even missed a day of riding. He is unbelievable. Seriously, he is so much faster than anyone out here, it's stupid…." Let the countdown to Orlando begin
Actually it is just the bike and not bubba. His bike looked ssssooo fast just sitting and waiting by the trailer at St Louis (just ask Lazyboy how clean it was)
Did anyone catch the Bubba interview on Speed last night? It was very interesting. They probed him on his feelings about RC, CR, etc... and it was all pretty much how you would expect him to answer. He did mention a movie about his "life story" coming out (Tom Cruise is helping), and he had aspirations to be a Nascar driver? WTF?
STEWART PLANS TO RETURN AT ORLANDO
Team Kawasaki phenom plans to return after being sidelined for eight weeks
- press release -
Irvine, Calif. (March 10, 2005) – Team Kawasaki’s James Stewart plans to return to the THQ AMA Supercross series racing in the 250 class on March 19th at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Fla. Stewart has been sidelined with a fractured left forearm since mid-January.
"I was really pumped to race for the championship this year, and my Kawasaki was running awesome. It was huge let down for me and my team when I got hurt." said Stewart. "But I’ve been working hard, and between training and therapy, my arm is now 100 percent. I’m ready to get back in the mix."
The 19 year-old from Haines City, Florida has shattered the record books during his incredible 125 class motocross career, and looks forward to challenging the world’s best riders in the 250 class for the remainder of the 2005 Supercross and Motocross season. Stewart is the first African American to ever win a major motorsports championship in any racing discipline. He has won four AMA 125 championships (125 East Supercross, 125 West Supercross, and a pair of 125 AMA Motocross Championships), all on Kawasaki motorcycles.
