A couple of observations.

Wasn't it AC's dad that was pitching a fit when the AMA passed a rule raising the minimum age?

He was making plans to head to Europe when AC turned 16.

I would say that with the rule being changed back to 16 we will see him make his pro debute soon after his 16th b-day.

I don't really understand why all the hype about him. He is no RC. He is no JS. Heck, he isn't even MA.

Don't get me wrong. He has skills, and is well spoken. However, the truth is that Cooper Webb and Jordon Smith both beat him in heads up racing at LL's this year.

I think those 3 will tighten up as they make the transition to big bikes, and I am going to predict that Smith will actually do the best of the 3.
No, no they did not beat him heads up this year nor did they beat him heads up last year, just saying.

I think the hype is all that because he is a like RC, JS and MA. He has produced comparable results as those three, all while racing above his age group. The fact you are even mentioning Cooper, who is two years older then him, should tell you that. RC, JS and MA all raced in their respected age groups their entire amateur careers.

Now I would be foolish to say Cooper and Jordan are not great riders, they are! I don't think anybody in their right mind would down play the talent Cooper has shown his entire amateur career or the talent we are just now (past year) starting to see from Jordan. But they have not shown they are on AC's level yet. Sure, you say they beat AC straight up at LL's this year, and they did! It was only in one of six motos, and Adam was leading that moto and fell. I agree, they did not fall and they finished 1 and 2.

As for who will win in the future, my money is things will stay the same. I have not seen Jordan on a big bike yet, but I have seen the other two. Cooper will need to find a little something extra if he does not want to repeat the past.

Prodigy is the case. Name the others who had a deal like this in place on their 15th birthday. Wait, did Ricky or RV even have a deal with Pro CIrcuit like this while still racing Superminis?
No they didnt, but thats partly bc this companys were not putting this much time/efforts/resources/money into the amateurs. This is new in the last 5 years or so..

Ciancarulico did good at the monster cup, especially for being such a high number.

butterballs tells me he will be on 125 two stroke techs because he isn't quite good enough for the faster heavy four strokes. maybe he got sponcered though
He isnt good enough??? Blink Pinch Pinch Dry Dude is super fast and talented. I thought sarcasm was Kongols signature... I hope that was sarcasm, this kid blows my mind. Seeing him on a PC 125 would be awesome "fingers crossed"

Hey Kyle, the "he has a high # he must suck" is a long running joke that goes back a few years here at Vital, check out the Pastrana thread in the HOF, it should be required reading for all members, it is priceless!

Scottie I literally just spit water all over my laptop. Water came out of my nose man, like 2 comments in and 10-15 comments later i was tearing up. That is by FAR the best Thread i have read yet here at Vital. I love it, gonna save that as a favorite and visit it on days im feeling down. How could anyone not laugh at that...

If anyone hasnt checked out the Travis Pastrana HOF Thread. The link is 4 posts up from this one and is a MUST read.

Good shit Scottie

This isn't the same amateur class RC & JS dominated, hell of a lot deeper today.

The AC detractors keep comparing him to guys he really isn't expected to beat, there's a big difference from 14 to 15 or 16, look what happened to Roczen when he was two years younger than Barcia at LL's.

None of those guys including Roczen has ever beaten Adam as badly as Roczen got it when he moved up at LL's, but Ken also wasn't expected to beat a two years older Barcia.

Those other kids are the one's with the problem, if you're a year or two older and already on the 250 it doesn't bode well that a super mini rider has all you can handle.

It doesn't matter until you can do it on the big bike and I suppose the other guys are ahead of him but most of the time, even Roczen didn't look two years faster than him as an amateur. I think Cooper's about a year older, I've seen Adam give Roczen that same type of a race while giving up two years age advantage.

AC is the next Ricky, just watch. Obviously win/championships number wise it'll be hard, but dominance wise. He won't flounder around in the 4th-8th area. He'll win, a lot.

Alright I didn't read any of this stuff.

However, I think the next step for AC is to grow.

(Take that genetics.)

and you are spot on! I think ti was Bones at PC that said he needs to weight 125lbs before he can ride the big bike. Sure hope he has a grow spurt coming in the very near future!

My bad, one year older then. My point is Adam could have been racing 12-14 85 at LL's, but he chose to race the older kids in the supermini class, same thing on his 65.

I think Adam will be on big bikes two years before turning pro. No way Mitch lets him run schoolboy for 1 year then go pro. That would make him 17 for his first supercross.

The guy in my avatar was racing 250s at 17, and winning. Bayle, Stanton, Matasevich were all in his roost.

oh well, i guess not everyone can be Damon F&%@ing Bradshaw.

I meant that he would turn pro at 17 not 16. Two more years amateur.

A year is still a huge difference, that's why people plan when they have kids around their "AMA birthday" to have that kind of an age advantage in each class.

Kawasaki has a stock of them for team green to use, they lend them to riders and take them back every year and freshen them up.
