The bike was smoking badly before he launched it, so I'd say it's clear the seizure caused the crash. Bad luck. It's like Pastrana -- half his crashes weren't his fault. JBS is not Pastrana -- he's way faster and has proven himself more than Travis ever did in the racing game -- but there are some similarities. It's win or crash with both of them. Bubba just wins more and crashes less than Pastrana. I hate it when he's not racing, though.

I'm surprised that no one has accused him of riding over his head in this thread...

Well, he was kinda riding "over his head" for a 1/2 second there. ;)

Correction - I guess that was "on his head" not "over his head".

Sorry, that was uncalled for. :nener:

As far as I am concerned JBS is THE 2006 Supercross Champion any way you look at it, but he struggles mightily for what he gets and pays the price for it. he is not the FOAT either, RC is the GOAT AND THE FOAT, just because JBS berzerks his way past RC a lot of the time doesn't mean he's faster, he is riding way over his head trying to beat RC. RC is the most consistently fast racer ever, but it is hard for me to deny the fact that JBS won 10 out of 16 Supercross mains and every single heat race he was in. thats the best in 2006 Supercross, period. but he can't compete with RC in motocross crashing the way he does, but he is still one of the greatest ever and has a lot more to show us yet.

may need to get your eyes checked, there is one very big way to look at it and see RC as the 06 sx champ :nener:

Points by a very slim margin is how RC is AMA champ, keep in mind that i said, "as far as I am concerned" which is the same as In My Opinion, so don't get personal and attack my 30/50 bifocals. they are both incredible riders, no one else is close except Reed.

when the hell are they gonna drop the world SX title? they need to either include those in the ama series or not have a title, they changed the name of the classes to lites and sx to help the average joe understand better, what do they think the average joe thinks watching the vegas race and seeing 2 guys celebrate championships? thats much more confusing than the names of the classes.

just to make it even more confusing the world sx series doesn't include daytona for some reason so if you add up all 18 SX races this year RC still wins by 4 points,he got 2 second places in canada behind stewart, and gained 10 points on Stewart at daytona.

is there any word on them changing this lame 2 title system yet? it has to have come up

FYI - The 'sorry I offended you' part kind of loses its meaning when it comes right after an insult.

Read the rules you agreed to when you joined. RACISM is a HUGE no-no on this site. That includes accusing members of being such.

If you are having issues with a moderated forum, I suggest you find one that isn't.
