with some hair on his nuts and a few races under his belt, will he be the next RC or 800? i say he becomes a big winner!
Not sure if serious?
Definitely a dissapointment this year,he won't have to face some of the big names next year and that will move him up a few slots,it might bring him on more and he'll grow in stature and confidence,he's a talented kid afterall

Yup, what a disappointment.
No where near on the bandwagon for this kid, thought everyone who thought he would come out getting wins or even top 5s was stupid but to say his is a disappointment is really stupid.
I see AC as being a great rider in the future , but I think even next year he may still struggle a "little". But when that kid starts growing some "man muscles".......he'll be a threat.
5 top 15 finishes
1 top 20 finish
If I'm correct,and yes it was stupid for people to say top 5 but with all the hype I think its a dissapointment when other rookies are beating him on lesser equipment and backing that's all,still an achievement don't get me wrong
He needs to hit the gym.
with regard to AC
The first time I met Ryan Villopoto was at the Ponca City Amateur National in 2005. I had heard a lot of buzz surrounding him. Ryan was touted as “The Next Big Thing.” History has proven that having that label isn’t always a good thing. The motocross industry is constantly searching for the next big name - a cash cow, so to speak. While Villopoto had a lot of hype as he was about to enter the pro scene, for much of his amateur career he was in the shadow of Mike Alessi. The two had a fierce rivalry until Alessi turned pro (at the Millville National in 2004). With Mike “Believe The Hype” Alessi out of the amateur ranks, Villopoto tore up Ponca City and Loretta Lynn’s. I still remember watching Ryan fly around the Ponca City circuit. After the weekend of racing was over I went up and introduced myself. Ryan was a shy kid with messy red hair and a build similar to a young Ricky Carmichael. He was quiet off the bike, but fierce when the gate dropped.

I wonder how that would've worked out...
They took plenty of time off for his illness.
He is consistently running around the top ten and staying upright.
He is not getting hole shots and wadding it up riding over his head to stay out front ala Zach Bell.
He is full of talent and has his head on straight, he may not be another RC-RV but I believe he will win
As far as next year, i can see him winning racing for sure. I said it all along, top 10-15 this year and will make huge gains in the off season with a year under his belt. I just hope he stays safe during rookie year of sx. thats the hardest part.
and what about MAKING IT comment...As far as im concerned, hes
made it into the pro ranks and successful at doing it...." hes done what millions of people have just dreamed of doing....
But anyway I still think Adam will come round ahead of any other rookie this year, but it's going to take him a while longer. He was seriously ill this year and that's taken its toll. Some of these things can take months to get over. As a further result from that he also didn't start racing until Budds Creek, by which point those guys are in their groove and usually beginning to peak. By his own admission he has one good moto in him, one race, that's it. To build up the fitness will take time. He's not doing badly considering. So yes, I think he'll win something next year but he has to get his physical conditioning in order.

And just maybe only riding a big bike for a year he isn't up to par on it.
and maybe that class has a field full of talent right now.
And more than likely that kid will win eventually and will probably be a champion.
Coming from a dude who thought all the hype on this kid was stupid, looking at the stack field and how long he had been on a big bike.
To expect a kid to come out and win against this field with less than a year on the big bike? He never raced one time at lorettas on anything larger than a big wheel 85? WTF
