Unless he was in the hospital I say pretty lousy sportsmanship. He should have been there to support the sport which has made him very, very rich. Of course that goes for the outdoors too. IMO.

Hopefully he had a reason. It was a bit weird when Paul went up to accept for him and he didn't look that comfortable doing it.

sore loser......


Did you see him ride on by RV when RV turned around expecting to be congratulated at the finish. Reed was the classy one.

I know, but watch the end again, somehow he was rolling the jumps after the finish and kept going when RV turned around.

Funny thing is he called out Reed for not congratulating him in 09', now his true colors are showing and can't accept getting beat!

Maybe he had Mothers-day plans.
Evening dinner with the family or future Mother in-law or something...

Oh jeezus. Give it up. These guys are riders, not role models. Your parents should be your role model, and you should be your kids' role model. If not, you suck at being a parent.

Stewart is a fantastic racer. That's all. End of story.

He should have fired his PR guy long before firing Larry. Was he actually missed at the awards show though? Were they not afraid he would "crash" the party and take a couple other tables out?

If there is one guy out there whos not accustomed to those kinds of results its Stewart, especially knowing he can do better, give the guy a break for being down, shows hes not in it just to collect the bills and wants to win, no big deal in my opinion that he was upset with his result, he probably also was in a lot of pain after that crash.

None of these guys want to lose, what's your point? If u call out another guy for it, yet do the same?? Hypocrite! No??

He finished 4th and crashed out in Vegas, what award was he supposed to be picking up anyways?? Who cares if he was there or not, Tickle, Barcia and RV were there, they're the most important.

You don't think his fellow competitors noticed and cared?

2 that. I got a feeling kiddo is hurt, and maybe was in hospital, or back from hospital and maybe couldn't walk or didn't feel to show injury before knowing what will happen etc etc. To many questions at this point to throw him under the bus...

But again, he's an amazing racer, not the new Sigmund Freud.

Maybe they did it so he would come. Smile

Seems like everyone in the top5 would have gotten an award except James.
Because Trey got Rookie of the year,I'm sure he won that by a mile.

Thats fair enough, my other question is was every other rider int he top 20 there to accept their award?

I just think it's a bit over the top to crucify the bloke, he just crashed his brains out for not the first time this year, is most likely hurting. Give him a break.

Why would they?? its not all about him. I'm thinking the likes of RV and Reed were more interested in celebrating there own achievements than worried about what Bubba was doing.

On one hand it is just an awards deal and I would assume he had his own reasons for why he didn't go.
No big deal really...

But on the other hand,I think he one of the biggest names in the sport of SX right now...if not the biggest,so he prolly should have been there,out of respect for the sport,the riders,Feld,FIM & The AMA .
Even RC was there.

Did he know he was getting an award?? Seems like it was a new deal for this year to award everyone a participation trophy. Maybe he didn't know. Give the kid a break.

Thats just my opinion, he's copped a hammering all year, some he brought on himself, i think this is the least bash worthy thing he's done all year, but he's still getting flogged.
