Notable accolades

• He is a 2002 ABA BMXer magazine Golden Crank winner for Professional Rookie of the Year.^[7]
• He is a 2003,^[7] '04, '05, '07 ABA BMXer magazine Golden Crank winner for Professional of the Year.
• He is a 2003,'04,'05 & '07 BMX Plus! Pro of the Year.
• In 2004 Harris became the youngest racer to hold an ABA professional title, becoming ABA No.1 Pro in the 20" class at the age of 18.^[11]
• He has become only the second rider in BMX history, and the first in the ABA, to win the Senior Pro 20" class three consecutive times winning the "AA" pro class title in 2004, 2005, and 2006, tying Terry Tenette. Terry Tenette was the first pro racer to do so in 1990,'91 & '92 in the National Bicycle League "A" Pro (Elite Men) class. Other three consecutive title wins have occurred in other classes in the past. Brent Patterson did it prior in the NBL Pro Cruiser class in 1981,'82 & '83 and Cheri Elliott in the ABA's girls amateur 20" division in 1983,'84 & '85. Other racers have done it and exceeded it in other classes since. John Purse came close to doing it in 1997 after winning the title with the NBL in 1995 and 1996 but a crash in the NBL Grand National semi finals ended his bid for a "three-peat".^[12] Terry Tenette was still the only one to have done it in 20" Men's Senior Pro until 2006. Bubba Harris would have made it four in a row breaking Tenette's record if he took the 20" AA pro title again in the ABA racing circuit in 2007. However while in preparation for the 2008 Summer Olympics he suffered an ankle injury in Beijing, China on August 20, 2007, that took him out of the running to accomplish that feat.^[13]

Significant injuries

• Fractured his arm at the ABA Lonestar Nationals in Beaumont, Texas, on March 5, 2000, after going two years without an injury. He was laid up for approximately three weeks until the weekend of March 26 of the ABA Winternationals in Phoenix, Arizona.^[14]
• Fractured shoulder at the Nellis Silver state NBL/UCI National race in Nellis, Nevada, on March 26, 2006. Was laid up for seven weeks until the ABA Dixieland Nationals in Marietta, Georgia, on May 20, 2006.^[15]
• Suffered a separated shoulder at the UCI national in Las Vegas, Nevada.^[16]
• Suffered a jammed elbow at the UCI Supercross time trials on September 7, 2006, in San Jose, California.^[17]
• Exactly one year to the day BMX competition was to start in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China, he completely dislocated the left ankle at the talus bone on August 20, 2007, in Beijing, China on the official Olympic track during his first run of his Time Trial. Coming out of the second turn he took an extra two pedals before setting up for the jumps. This did not leave him enough time to make the transition smoothly. He hit the first jump of the rhythm section and his right foot became unclipped from that pedal. He hit two successive jumps essentially one footed, his still clipped in left foot taking the weight.^[2] He hit a fourth successive jump slightly obliquely and was launched sideways by his momentum into the air, coming down on the back side of a jump with his left foot still clipped into an SPD pedal. It was twisted at approximately a 90 degree angle from its proper position.^[2] Doctors almost amputated his foot. After three months of recuperation, he attempted to race the 2007 ABA Grandnationals but reinjured the injury slightly in practice and sat out the Grands. He did race the NBL Christmas Classic on December 27, 2007, but didn't make the mains. Despite the constant pain he is in even just walking, he put off surgery on it to remove bone splinters to speed his recovery in time for the 2008 Olympics.^[2] In defiance of the pain, he was able to do relatively well during the 2008 racing season, including winning the Elite Men class at the NBL National in West Palm Beach, Florida, on March 16, 2008.^[18]
• Still maintaining Olympic hopes he was in training for the Summer Olympics at a track at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, California. His Olympic dreams for making the 2008 team came to an end when he broke his right ankle in practice for the Olympic Trials on June 12, 2008.^[19] Ironically, the training track is an exact replica of the Olympic BMX track that the BMX events for the Beijing Olympics would be held on. His crash was on the second straight. He had hoped that it was a bad sprain but the next day doctors confirmed the break and Harris withdrew his name from the Time Trial competition leaving only seven competitors.^[20] On June 14, 2008, Harris saw his good friend Mike Day win the Olympic team Qualifying Trials and qualified for a sure slot on the USA BMX Olympic Team. He was cheering him on straight through. A few days after the Trials Harris had surgery to remove some of the floating bone chips left over in his left ankle from his severe August 20, 2007, dislocation.
• Harris suffered from cracked ribs after a crash at the ABA Silver Dollar Nationals in Reno, Nevada, on the weekend of January 11, 2009. He reportedly fell on his handlebars when he crashed.^[21] He returned to racing after a near two month layoff at the ABA Winter Nationals in Phoenix, Arizona, on March 6–8, 2009.^[10]
