Grow up, stay healthy, keep working, stay grounded.

Simple basic steps, but harder to do than you think.

Combined with his talent, it should take him to the spotlights of this sport.

Has there ever been this much hype around an amateur.. I know the kid has skill on a bike but i haven't seen this much attention brought upon a 13 year old and he's been talked about pretty much since he was like 9 or 10? I think its awesome for the amateur ranks to get exposure like this.

If people actually do that they need to be slapped

I am still amazed every time I see the kid interviewed and his level of maturity and just how well spoken and witty he is. It's pretty rare that you see that in this sport. In fact, I can't think of anyone else who compares to him in the language dept. TP199 is the only one I can think of off the top of my head.

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

AC is going to be a a winning machine. Zach Bell is going to be a player also

IMO, AC is going to be what Stewart was suppose to be.

If the schedule had any round towards the end of July to early August it would conflict with ponca and LL.

But I'm not sure because I don't follow the American Youth Ranks as close as you guys but in Ponca and Loretta doesn't he there meet guys he owned for many years in the supermini's?? At the European 125 Series he compete with guys he doesn't know and that on Grand Prix tracks...

Bye the way it is possible to ride Loretta I think ... Ponca not...

But nobody says to him that he should ride the full European 125 program!

Why should he do that when the cream of the crop is here? As well as all of his sponsors, potential sponsors and he already gets to ride and train at some of the best places in the world?

Not hating on Europe, I'm actually a huge EWC fan, but it is what it is, to have the best career he needs to be here. I'm sure there are tons of kids his age over in Europe who wish they could be over in the states doing what Adam is doing right now.

The American Amateur system is proven to breed succes quickly in the pro ranks, Tomac, Barcia, Wilson, Bogle all instantly ran at the front of the pro pack after moving up. How many Euros have we seen run at the front right away in America as opposed to how many struggle a little at first.

What's next for Adam C is a few more amateur titles and a lot of wins and championships in the pros, probably retired and hanging on the lake in Florida by the time he's 35.

It doesn't sound like the most intelligent thing to do but people everywhere plan the birth of their kids around all sorts of silly things that not everyone would agree with.

If you're planning on having kids next six months and decide to wait for a Jan birthday I think it's no more outrageous than a 12 year old on a 250, 7 year old on an 85 or 150 4 stk or probably even a 4 year old on a motorcycle. Can't leave out the hundreds of 65 riders with unlimited use of a golf cart flying around any amateur nat any given time.

I have huge respect for the GPs but Adam is being set up to race in the US, Europe is not the goal, his plate is full enough over here without burning him out. IMO

i honestly think MX is going to go the way of a ATV racing in a few years

1 or 2 guys make money doing it while everyone else pays to play
