It’s pretty obvious when he wasn’t held back by his nerve, his speed was off the fkn chart. His starts, his lines choice and style were made for champions. Such a bummer but hey we’re about to have someone behind the mic that’s golden and will be super awesome. Love ya dawg. We’re here for it 🤙🏽
100% agree. He beat Tomac straight up in his first 450 race at monster cup. I have the same nerve problem as him and it's horrible. You lose grip strength because your hand goes numb or it hurts like hell.
He had the speed, that’s for sure. It would have been nice to see him have a great break out year in the 450’s. Such a cool guy. I hope he still is active somehow in Supercross and Motocross.
I never quite understood this guy till I got a quick second to meet him at the Philadelphia SX. He was so human, so nice, so real and amazing. Wish him the best, better than most champions of the sport!
Rc won't let that happen... Blair is gone and James was supposed to do half the supercross rounds, look how that turned out. If RCs job is threatened, he takes care of the threat. I've seen tension between those two the last time... I'm not so sure they're friends anymore and he grew up with Ricky, he seems like better friends with Chad than Rick, which is wild.... while Reed may seem cocky, he was full of self belief and combined with the Aussie sort of personality that they all have, it gave people (Americans in particular) the wrong impression... but he and James seem very down to earth just like regular guys, good to fans, but not RC...unfortunately. RC got a divorce and in a podcast recently even complained to RV about doing stuff with his own kids because they enjoyed something he doesn't... RV said he couldn't relate. Ricky is all about Ricky, he still has that same selfish racer mentality outside of racing nearly 20 years post retirement...Ricky loves himself some Ricky even though he says the opposite. He was my favorite racer, hands down, the best to ever do it bar none..but Ricky the person, well, it's common knowledge within the industry that he's a narcissistic douche.
And he's also been charging abunch of money to Triumph that he isn't owed and was already paid for and siphoning money from other areas of their program...like, illegal type shit. Like charging Triumph test track build/prep when it wasn't or already has been, then pocketing that money along with what he's actually owed for his 'ambassador' and testing/development role..
@@yamahakid450f yeah unfortunately your probably right! But the Daniel Blair Ac and Jt combo would be 🔥 I know it will never happen but a man can dream
It has been a journey watching Adam’s career from his 85 racing until now. Thanks for being a great person and a role model. Wish you the best of luck in the future!
We love you Adam, thank you for everything you have done for the sport, good luck in the future mate, or maybe come to Australia for supercross that would be sick! 👌👏
Very respectable guy, and his amateur career feels unmatched. Celebrity level moto attraction as a kid. What a talent. Excited to see what comes next 🔥
Man gonna be weird without ac out there. Hope he stays in the sport he seems like a really good person and very intelligent. Did Deano get a interview too?
Adam I watched you mature over the years from being kind of cocky to seeing you as an adult, you are a great rider no matter what you achieved a lot over the years it was fun watching you race. I’ve only been watching motocross since 2015 ,it was at the Unadilla N.Y race way. My Son is a huge fan and I became one that day and haven’t stopped watching both Motocross and Supercross. Have a great retirement and Good Luck to everything you do in the future.
I hope Adam gets to grow into an announcer role and if "he wants it".! Not pushed into it, or too fast, too hard as he obviously has felt in moto! He would be great. That's said I hope he finds what he is looking for and can sit back and enjoy it, enjoy the journey, you have earnt it dude! Thanks for the career you gave us on the off track to date! It is what it is, still a great career! and you have achieved what many couldn't for what ever reasons! The only thing Id say everyone's path on a dirt bike is different, like life, this is what the factories need to learn about amateur's, stop pushing the next big thing! The one thing here not to go down this rabbit hole, is maybe factory teams need to look deeper into what made certain amateur's so successful at that level! That said no one forces people to do anything, any kid would take the same opportunities, if offered especially today! Look back but don't stare at what ifs! You will enjoy the good and the tough memories more in time. All the best for the future AdamC #9 🤘💯 🏆
This guy is a warrior, I’ll never forget when he dislocated his shoulder in a crash and they popped his shoulder back into place while he was sitting on the bike and he finished the race, such a talented rider who had a good run of bad luck, sad to see him hang it up. All the best to him and his family in the future.
This one hurts for me. Adam was the first rider I followed through their amateur career into a professional career. Hopefully we’ll get him in the booth or trackside for race day
AC is a class act and all but where’s the love for Deano? It was his last race too, they were even lined up next to each other on the gate and Deeno got himself a top 10. Just interesting how they refused to talk about the best personality the sport has seen in 20 years retiring.
SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR RETIREMENT, REMEMBER SEEING YOUR SHOULDER PROBLEMS & YOUR FRUSTRATION. WISHING YOU SUCCESS WITH WHATEVER YOU DO IN THE FUTURE. YOU ARE FOR REAL , GENUINE & HONEST. RESPECT ❤ TO YOU
Do you think if Muhammad Ali Michael Jordan Tom Brady if them guys didn't win what they were supposed to win would they be this humble knowing that they put in what they put in and still didn't get what they wanted to nope moto life baby
yeah R.C sucks in the booth. he was an awsome racer but the dude cant talk very well and should step away from the booth and stop embarressing himself enough already
Had all the opportunities in the world factory equipment from a young age. Over rated ? Entitled ? Or just unlucky I’m torn all the best in retirement.
