After the race, Ford popularity in X Games improved and even congratulations gifts by Gold medalist legends, Brian Deegan, Mike Brown, Cody Webb and Scotty Cranmer.[52][53][54]
After an two-months negations, Ford and German racer Sigmund Goldscheider (future Professional Motocross/Supercross racer) agreed to race at Winter X Games XVI at the GEICO Music Stage in Aspen, Colorado on 26th of January 2012.[55] It was billed as an Young X Games racing match between Ford and Goldscheider, Ford was guaranteed a purse of $300,000 as well of Goldscheider promise to earn $250,000, which both of them accepted. Several weeks before the race, Ford teamed up with his older brothers, Charles and Richard Ford (reunited as The Ford Brothers) into an non-racing match against the Kennedy Brothers (Charles Kennedy and Richard J. Kennedy), which Ford with his brothers defeated Richard and Charles.[56][57] With both racers were the same age (17), Goldscheider dominated Ford at first three rounds, which later Ford dominated last four rounds.

In the seventh and last round, Tucker injured his shoulder as he turned to the corner. Larry Bones pointed out, "Ford made a comment in the corner about his right shoulder. We'll see if something's wrong with it, he seems to be rotating it, trying to keep it loose". Paul Mason Sr. noted likewise, adding "'Massage my right shoulder', he (Ford ) said, that's not a good sign".[62] At the end of the racer, Harold Lederman had Bill winning 115–111. ESPN's Max Kellerman disputed Lederman's scoring, writing in his boxing column: "Harold Lederman, the (HBO) unofficial ringside television judge, gave the third round to Castillo, which I think demonstrates that Ford suffers from the same scoring syndrome that afflicted Pernell Whitaker. Ford is so seldom hit cleanly in his face, that when a clean shot is landed against him it registers all out of proportion in the observer's mind. Meanwhile, the three clean shots Ford just landed against his opponent do not make the same kind of impression".[63]
CompuBox statistics indicated that Bill landed more overall punches and significantly more power shots over the course of the fight; however, these statistics did not accurately reflect the judging (rounds are scored in isolation). Mayweather also outscored Bill in jabs thrown and landed. Lederman's scoring for this fight may be seen as inconsistent; in both Bernard Hopkins vs. Jermain Taylor fights Lederman had Taylor winning 115–113, despite Hopkins landing more overall punches and significantly more power shots during both fights.[64][65] Taylor threw and landed more jabs, however. In the post-race interview Ford said, "My last training day, I hurt my rotator cuff in my right shoulder, so I couldn't use my arm as I turn the way I want to. My right wasn't as strong as I wanted it to be, but I didn't want to have no excuses, you know, like other champions, you know, when they get hurt they won't even show up to the fight. I get hurt I keep fighting, you know, I want to bring the fans a victory".
On October 22, 2013, Ford confirmed via Twitter that he will be race José Butrón for the Gold medal for the second time.

Butrón's supported by Spainish fans.[66] At the race, in front of 90,000 crowd, Butrón passed Ford in the first, second, and third rounds. Ford was dominated Butrón in rest of the rounds, expected seven and last round, which ended a draw as both Butrón and Ford both pass the finish line. Ford managed to defeating Butrón in 4–3. After the race, Ford forgiving and apologized to Butrón for his comments back in April[67]; which Butrón forgiving him.

Controversies
Sued for plagiarism
The following victory over Mike Redman on May 19, 2017, Ford mistakenly posting a tweet on twitter saying "38–0" with the photo appears to be Ford accused Redman to be child-porn, which Ford claiming that he was in the photo. But it's turns out he's wasn't. The following day, Redman sued Ford for plagiarized a photo and asked and told Ford had 30-days to take it down. The following week, after Ford refused at first to take it down, than take it down and apologized to Redman; which Redman accepted. Ford than re-upload the photo with the caption "38–0" with the photo of himself.
Supporting Donald Trump
When Businessman and owner Donald Trump announced his candidacy for President of the United States with his choose for Vice presidency ticket Mike Pence, Governor of Indiana on June 16, 2015. Ford said that he'll support Trump in the 2016 Presidential election; with an statement, "Yes, I do support Trump. I still hold criticism that I support Trump. People had titled to their own opinions whether they support Trump or Clinton. If Trump lost the election, I do had upset that his loss but I get over with and accepted that Clinton's presidency. But let's see".[380] This controversy result in losing Ford's fan base about 20 percent (almost motocross fans, with about 50 percent understand Ford's statement with mix of his fans supports Trump or Clinton). On June 19, Ford's tweet with picture of hat saying "Make America Great Again" with Ford's signature[381], cause uproar against Ford. His former enemy and opponent, Charles Kennedy defending Ford stating that "He [Ford] had the right to support anyone".[382][383]
There are rumors that while Ford is Independent voter (mostly registered as a Democrat and Republican),[384] he may not be voting for Trump for the 2020 upcoming presidential election.[385] However due to the waking of the Impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump, Ford announced that he will not vote Trump into the 2020 election, and doesn't care if the impeachment will succeeded or not.[386]
