Bubba Harris

""On Monday July 21st, I was released from Redline Bicycles.

With my injuries and recent surgery, I was unable to fulfill my obligations under the current contract.

After 8 years with Redline I want to thank them for everything they've done for me.

I wish all my teammates the best in the future and will always consider them my teammates.

As for me, I will be back and stronger than ever.........you haven't seen the last of me.

While the chapter of my racing career with Redline is closed, I look forward to beginning a new chapter with a new sponsor.

I would like to thank my sponsors that have shown their continued support, VISA, Nike, Kronik, Lizard Skins and Inustrial.

To all the Bubba Harris fans, I look forward to seeing you at the track very soon.

I know this experience will make me a better person and BMXer in the future." Thank you, Bubba Harris""
