I know this kid was good in the juniors, and won a lot, then had that average start to his pro-career in 2013 due to sickness. In Supercross he looks so damn good. Not being an expert on the 250 SX and not really watching it that much, my question is is this kid a bit like a Windham or Bayle? His style looks really, really nice in his win last weekend.

Another question, is he strong enough to win the outdoors in 2014? He's a skinny little fella.

If he does well outdoors would love to see Villopoto, Stewart and Cianciarulo at the MXoN. Would be a pretty cool team.

He looks really good,

His riding style too me is a mixture of villopto's and Wilson's.

He reminds me of Wilson because he is quite tall now (actually i think he is the tallest in PC squad?)


Outdoors will be tough. Baggett will start to catch fire soon…..

Geoff, my answer to question one is, I think the kid has a style all his own and me likey a lot. I've never seen anyone do a sit down scrub-whip over a triple at speed like this kid. Occasionally I see something that has me thinking "dayummmm, that's insanity", and his scrubs had me doing that all day & night on Saturday. The Hoppenworld pic below kind of shows what I'm talking about, but he was laying it over way more most of the time.



My opinion on your second questions is, yes, I think the kid is strong enough to win outdoors. While he had a rough start in '13, I think in '14 we'll see the kid do the only thing he knows how to do: win. With two former 250 National Champions, two MX2 World Champions (1 who barely lost two 250 National Championships) on the line--Pourcel, Musquin, Wilson and Baggett--I'm not giving him the Championship, but I think the #46 will be in the middle of it. This 250 MX Championship is gonna be good!!

Tell you what he did better than anyone all night at Arlington.

The wheel tap thing after the finish, go watch the main again. The way he used his legs was faster than anyone all night.

Had that conversation with Old mate in another thread and he said Kenny and Herlings have the best knees, AC was unreal through there, it was worth bike lengths every time over Bagget.

Geoff - to answer your third question, RV and Chinchilla might ride MXDN but Stewart's days of are over. Roger and Mitch pick that team and they don't like the FMOTP

wilson is 6' i think, I was suprised how tall ac was standing next to jenny on the podium, he was taller than bagget anyway. outdoors bagget is insane when hes on his game, if the 2012 bagget shows up to this outdoors he'll clean house, with ac in 2nd

250 outdoors is going to be absolutely brilliant this year! just hope they all stay fit through supercross. Personally I think pourcel will win it, but its going to be very close between the 2 frenchies, baggett, wilson- cooper webb looked very impressive last year and AC292 is now looking like the rider we all expected him to be!

Maybe RC was right and adam turned pro a bit too early. He certainly looks alot better now than he did in the outdoors when he first went pro.

The series may chew him up and spit him out the revolving door before then.Whistling

He's not that much skinnier than Musquin, and Musquin is a two times MX2 World Champion. Baggett who is a jockey too and is the exact same weight of Adam won the 250 Nationals in 2012.
Last year Adam looked like a nine years old child on a 450 when riding a 125. I think he changed a lot even compared to last summer. Taller, a little heavier. On another bike, I wouldn't even have recognized him on that video that came out last week or two weeks ago...
