I caught Bubba's World once and got the impression that he's under huge preasure from his father, his trainer, the race team... after so many years of this as a young man, I can understand "burnout". And boy does that kid have some scars! Love to see him ride, but I'm guessing he may like to experience a somewhat more "normal" life too. If I was in his shoes and had his money, slacking off some sure would be tempting. But, he'll be back, the glory of the limelight is too much of a draw IMO.
