Bubba Harris is already a legend in BMX racing. As an amateur, he won 14 ABA World Championships, as well as dozens of national races, all by age 16. At 18, Bubba became the youngest rider ever to hold to ABA Number One Pro title. He took the AA Pro class title in 2004, 2006 and 2006, making him, at 21, the youngest racer in ABA history to achieve the threepeat. He’s certainly earned his place in the record books, but he’s also had to overcome extreme adversaries along the way.
