man, you gotta feel for him. Such a popular young man with everyone that comes into his life, but has just never reached his potential. He sounds pretty damn "heavy".
I don't have Facebook and cannot see it. Can you give a breakdown of what he said? Or do you not feel comfortable doing that as you may not get the context, vibe, of his post?
He explains that he hurt his hand in the first Anaheim race and that it still wasn't healed. Then he went on for a few minutes just about how down he is and how frustrated he is with his career. She ends it with just thanking people for sticking with him. Nothing earth-shattering it's just that his body language is quite depressed
I'm hoping "She" is a typo. Otherwise I have a few choice words
Ha. Sorry. Using voice to text

I'd love to see him on a new team, he needs a restart. Not saying that things are bad for him at Kawi, but doing the same thing over and over without a change in outcome, can't be good.
Sad part is, he’s been irrelevant for so long that it took me until halfway through the final main event to realize he wasn’t there.
Im not 'anti- AC9' whatsoever, but im somewhat bored of seeing the same thing over & over from him & Kawi.
Let's give someone else a chance on the factory team and see what happens. Dylan maybe?
Adam might even thrive if he's got to assemble his own team and fight hard for his money as a privateer or on a low level team. I hope he does.
The WMX is coming back. Maybe that would help get his confidence back up. I think the paperwork is pretty easy to fill out. Maybe just a check mark
Yea Adam is one of my favorite guys on the gate but I think it's time to see someone else on that factory seat
Really looking forward to him transitioning to the booth whenever he does decide to hang it up
I'm not anti Adam either, or Craig for that matter. I like both them, but...
I think things will play out and at the end of the year they will not be resigned and other riders will take there place. I'd like to RJ take Craigs place and Forkner take Adams place.
Or, Ferrandis either ride unless Dylan can build a team around him on the Honda that he is more comfortable with.
can someone post the message please? standard forum protocol when you post a link
Feel bad for him. Few years back looked like he and Sexton were the future, tough game this sport we love!
nvm its an instagram story.
Does one think that Nick Wey is actually working out? I’ve always been a huge fan of the NYK but athlete turned trainer doesn’t always translate. Would like to see AC completely revamp his program and surroundings to get a new and fresh perspective on things. But he’ll more than likely just stay the course and sail off into the sunset after the next contract as a mid pack guy.
Um I did
In my opinion I don't think it's his trainer or training and its certainly not the bike or the team. I think Nick Wey actually has been crucial on getting AC back in the game and his last summer plan shaking things up riding and training in Michigan for a few weeks helped a lot. But moving to another factory team and getting away from California and getting back home to Florida and on another program might just be what he needs. He's been in California quite a while now and is rooted but I feel getting back to Florida and away from all the riff raff and changing things up could help. He's such a good guy. Hopefully he can healthy and get the speed again.
It doesn’t have anything to do with the bike, team, or trainer. He body is just too damaged to compete at the top level anymore. It’s a real shame, but all too common in this sport.
Completely agree. I've been a fan forever, and can't help but think it may be time to call it a day, and be the best thing in the booth since Daniel Blair left. He could have a good career if he's given the opportunity. Smart, articulate, funny...
Pit Row
The part of his body thats holding him back right now is his finger... is he renowned for repeated & lingering finger injuries?
How is it that he survived 2 mud races and then can't ride round 4. Did he reinjure the finger last week?
He covers that in his video, the slower pace and lesser impacts in the mud helped him work through it, but it was too sketchy and dangerous at the high speeds of a dry track.
Mr.D13, it is my most humble opinion that you would better hide your ignorance by just Shutting the Fuck up. Thank you, that is all.
This 100%. Nick actually helped him win that 250 mx title. Really should have gotten a 250 sx title too.
He’s had a nerve problem in his hand for awhile. He’s tried to lessen the flare ups as much as he can, but when you have an injury like that (among his others) it’s hard to “push” on an Mx track. His results have not been for a lack of trying or somehow he is just riding around taking up space. No. Pushing an injury like this is very risky. Like he’s said, he’s had good days and bad, and like at A2, he tweaked it and it was done. I’m sure he’s wracked his brain about what to do about it.
It’s a good question. Definitely seemed to help him during the 250 outdoor championship season but after that could be debatable. Also his other trainees Shimoda and Macado(sp?) haven’t exactly performed above expectations. Common theme seems to be crashing leading to time off the bike
ACs' kryptonite is his hand injury then Craig's is his mental state...
Cart Narcs is hiring...
It is a common problem in all pro sports. If your body can't stand up to the training and the games/races you don't last long or don't make it at all.
I would love a booth combo of AC, Weege, and Stew. One can only hope this happens when AC decides to call it a career.
He could easily pass as a pat. Just check non binary
