10 Most Controversial Motocross Riders Of All Time

6. Ben Riddle

Ben riddle was seen as the next big thing, entering the pro ranks with five Loretta Lynn€™s titles and a ride with factory Suzuki alongside Pastrana, Windham and Thain. He turned professional in the latter half of 2000. By the end of 2002 Riddle€™s Factory contract was gone. Injury troubles, massive sums of money and idle time led to the collapse of Riddle€™s career, and life. After leaving Motoworld Suzuki, Riddle has a huge crash on his street bike that almost cost him his life. He was left in a coma for three weeks. Riddle then took to marijuana and hustling to take away from the after effects of the crash. He was later arrested in possession of 29 pounds of marijuana and a substantial amount of cash, and served 76 months in prison.
