Is that RC on the smoker? Or just RC's gear?

I talked to Adam at Lake Elsinore. He said he might move up as early as the start of the 2013 outdoor season...and his dad added that they were in no hurry. Smile

No Monster helmet, so it probably isn't RC.

He said on one of the podcasts that he will be running whatever gear the pro circuit team is running.

He mentioned that Alpinestar is more worried about influencing people to wear Alpinestar boots with other gear companies rather than wear Alpinestar gear because it isn't even available in the U.S.

He looks fast on that freeway, hope Aldon's weight training has him better prepared than Bell. Nothing against Zach but the tracks get a bit rougher for the little dudes when they turn pro.

Doesn't Adam turn 16 before the start of the supercross season? I wonder why he's not coming out swinging as soon as he can.

Stewart did.

The next big thing needs to get out there and show he's the next big thing. I've been waiting 8 years for this dammit!

Look at the size of him, he's nowhere near strong enough to wrestle that bike around a supercross track and bang bars with the likes of tomac and mookie. Not yet anyways.

Does look fast but when doesn't he. He does look taller, hopefully that growth spurt has begun and he can really start motoring.

That would be crazy to send him out into the big leagues next year. The kid needs time and experience on the bigger bike. He only just now got off a mini bike!

He should sign up for the Canadian nationals next summer and wait until 2014 maybe.

im pretty sure i post this everytime his name is mentioned on here but ill post it again..

he was at my local track on his super mini and his corner speed was incredible....never let off the gas... he was hitting corners twice as fast as some of the really fast guys ive seen ride there....that kx 100 sounded pretty crisp and he kept it on the pipe the whole time....

He'll be 16 on 10/20.

He just got on the big bikes whereas James had a few months on the 125, and plenty of races against A class competition to gauge where he was speed wise. Adam isn't in the same boat. I think that going Pro for the 2013 Nationals might be right, but it wouldn't be bad for him to hold out until 2014 either. He needs the time to develop physically, IMHO.

Can't wait to see him turn pro, there has been a lot of hype around him. He seems to be on that RC, Stewart, Herlings, Roczen level of speed.

I hope you are being sarcastic. AC is so small, and as his dad said, they are taking there time..... No use in pushing him past his limits and then pushing to hard and him getting hurt. He needs to bulk up and get bigger before coming to the pros. Also not racing a 250f at all then going right into the pros? Thats a great idea if I ever heard one.

X2......age doesn't matter when a kid is moving up......he needs the size and strength to hold onto a bike like that. He's a smaller dude....you have to give him some time.

You have something to base that statement on? Or was it out of sheer enjoyment of talking people down?

I remember watching him on an 85 in the 80 open class at Ponca in 2007. He was about 10 and he was all over Tomac ,who was 14 or 15 at the time, until he fell. I remember he would hit the double under the bridge and jump like 30 feet past the landing to pass people. The kid does have amazing corner speed and is aggressive as hell.
I guess Ryno is practicing on the two stroke for the vet DES nations? I hope there I a video of the race. I would love to see him, Wardy and Lechein on KX 500's and Stanton on the CR 250.

My son and I went to a LLQ in Tennessee back in April and AC92 had the fastest lap of anyone on the track including the A class riders. HIs only real competiion that weekend was Colton Ford on a KTM 125 in schoolboy (AC92 was on a kx100). Their lap times that weekend was the best on the track.

With all that said, the A class riders there were by no means a Zack Bell, or Jemery Martin or any of those type guys and I just don't think he is on their level. I honestly expected him to kill everyone from the hype I have been reading and seeing for the last 6-7 years. Don't get me wrong the kid was fast as hell but one moto he got a bad start in the schoolboy class and I fully expected him to catch and pass everyone (just like Ricky and Bubba always did) but I think he finished 3rd that moto with Colton Ford walking away with it.


I'm not saying anything bad about AC92, he is awesome, I just think he needs another whole year on a big bike. I also don't think he is goona be as big of news as what Ricky and Bubba were when they went pro especially if he doesn't get some serious time on a big bike (like a solid year). Just my 2 cents!!
