In case you missed it: "Bubba" Stewart Crash

Here is the James Stewart crash at Anaheim 2 this past weekend. This was in his heat race, he ended up going through to the main event placing 2nd overall behind Ryan Villopoto. This post is going to discuss some life facts and information on James "Bubba" Stewart.

 I had the pleasure of gonig to watch Bubba race at Unadilla outdoor motocross in the summer of 2005 as well with the season of 2006. Unadilla, which is a track located in NY State is an all-natural track with rounded slopes and deep valleys. When I went to watch this Florida born african-american motocrosser, I realized I was witnessing something special. Although I saw something unique and special in him, I still had thoughts flowing in my head that he was lacking strength and consistency. Race after race he would be getting the holeshot, and then 10 laps in he would crash because he could not keep on his bike because of his riding technique. He needs to remain smart on the track, and picking out the right lines in the practice laps so he wont fall in the main event.

I agree with the fans who say he is one of the fastest riders on the planet, but through his resume of crashes and injuries you definitely cannot rule out inconsistency and sketchiness. A crash that proves his skeptical riding is this video I have pasted below of the 2005 infamous crash where Bubba landed on the one and only champion of motocross, Ricky Carmichael.

Check out this video and watch the ruthless riding techniques that Bubba uses on his Kawasaki.

    The 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup was the tenth Cricket World Cup. It was played in India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. It was Bangladesh's first time co-hosting a World Cup. The World Cup was also due to be co-hosted by Pakistan, but in the wake of the 2009 attack on the Sri Lanka national cricket team in Lahore, the International Cricket Council (ICC) decided to remove Pakistan from the hosting countries.
