Who Is Bubba?
Bubba Harris is the face of the SX450. The signature edition Bill Ryan built around him isn't a gimmick — Bubba races a Supercross frame because that's the bike he chooses to race, and the SX450 carries his name because of it. He's 6'2", AA/Elite Pro, race number 101, based in Surprise, Arizona. Nineteen years on the bike.
Bubba's career is one of the most decorated in modern BMX. Three-time back-to-back ABA No. 1 Pro. UCI BMX World Champion. 14× ABA World Championships as an amateur — all by the age of 16. The youngest rider ever to hold the ABA No. 1 Pro title at age 18. He qualified for the 2008 USA Olympic BMX team. In 2023 he was inducted into the USA BMX Hall of Fame as a first-ballot nominee.
Today Bubba is the Track Operator and Owner at Black Mountain BMX in Phoenix, Arizona, and a lifelong trainer with Supercamp Training Systems — the family BMX training program his father Burlin Harris started decades ago. The decorated racing career is one chapter. Building the next generation at the track and in the camp is the chapter he's writing now.
