In your opinion who do you feel was the biggest disappointment ever in the history of our sport?
Was it...
Bradshaw?
Lechien?
J Law?
Hepler?
Buckelew?
Someone else?

I want to hear you, and why you feel the way you do.

I'd have to go with B. Hep. When that guy was on, he was fast as hell.

For me it has to be J-Law. Still hope against hope he gets it together, but he has/had the talent to be one of the best. But he didn't have the foresight to understand that the lites SX title doesn't make a career. He needed to carry that momentum and talent to the nationals and then the big bike and has thus far failed to do so.

How was he a disappointment though? He just crashed like everyone else and ended up getting injured a bit more.

Feel free to add more names in here. Who was one rider touted to go so far in the pro ranks when he was an amateur? Then it never happened....

Your gonna freak when I say this but.

Pastrana's racing career.

That being said. He is one of the most talented riders to ever throw a leg over a dirtcycle.

Actually I'm more disappointed that the two stroke is dead. Supercross does not sound or smell the same without it.

AMA meaning nothing to most in our sport anymore and the average kid/adult in America can not afford to simply just go out and ride/race anymore... :-(

pastrana's racing career for sure. That guy has soo much talent it over flows. If he had of focussed he would have been dangerous.

Alessi - While he has won a few motos and been on the podium quite a few times, the Championships have not happened.
