This week's guest in the Vital MX Forum QNA is Adam Cianciarulo. Whether it was a stardom as an amateur, or an injury-plagued pro career, Adam has seen the highs and lows. He was leading the 250 East title chase in '14, before a shoulder injury took him out of contention. He finished eighth in 250 points during last summer's Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, and he's waiting for the 250 East season to get started a few weeks from now.
Bring your best questions, and he'll be peeking in here this week to answer them. As always, keep it respectful, and ask questions that you would like in a face-to-face meeting.
If you want to see previous Vital MX Forum QNAs, click the Forum QNA tag below the subject line. (Check below to see what it looks like.)
Straight up, how are you in regards to injuries or ailments, will you be 100% ready for your first round?
What are your expectations for the SX season ahead?
Do you use any unusual bike setups tailored to suit you?
Good luck in 17
Are you and Anderson still homies?
What has changed at "The Farm" now that it's "The Nest"?
What song will you be listening to before your first gate drop of 2017?
Which riders, past or present, do you try to emulate either on or off the track?
Thanks for doing this!
I really like your personality during interviews, twitter and so on (definetely the banter with other riders).
You have a strong, funny personality while still being very humble and that makes it a perfect mix.
Therefore I believe you need to step-up your celebration win.
If you win a Supercross this season, which big, funny, unseen celebration can we expect from you?
The Shop
How are you approaching this season and what are your expectations?
In reguards to training, what are you doing different now, than when you were with Aldon?
How do you think your nerves/anticipation before the East Opener in Minnesota will compare to your 250 SX debut in 2014? Are your more confident than you were then or do you feel like you have more weight on your shoulders this time around?
Thanks for doing this, I think every fan wants to see you have success!
With your injurys, How are you doing with slowing down to go fast part of your progress?
My questions
1.- have you ridden a 450 regularly and how do you like it? suits you better?
2.- If you could choose a permanent number pretending they all are available which would you choose and why? of course other than 1 hehe
3.- I imagine you also like Box Car Racer... How about "I feel so" to get pumped before a race? I use that song a lot!! which ones do you hear before a race?
Best of luck this year !!!
Edit: my bad I think it was cromaggedon or something like that the video
Damn, someone else asked pretty much the same thing at the same time. That's all I had, so good luck!
I was just wondering what actually happened at the Charlotte GP when you went down. You said everything was fine and you were just sore but the talk has kinda been that you needed another shoulder surgery? Sorry if this is sort of a touchy subject for you. Thanks for doing this really cool of you!
I'm 100% across the board and really happy with the progress I've made from outdoors 'til now. In regards to my expecatations, I believe I have the ability to be a consistent winner and championship contender. That's easier said than done, though, but I certainly look forward to the challenge.
Nothing too crazy with my setup on the motorcycle. I run lower footpegs and taller bars now that I'm a bit taller, but that's about it.
Pit Row
Jason and I are friends, but not as close as we were when we were both training with Aldon. That's to be expected, though. Different schedules and stuff like that.
Something pop-punk. (i.e The Starting Line, Saves the Day, Blink etc.)
I understood, though.
Mitch has always been incredibly supportive of me through all of my ups and downs and I'm very grateful to have someone like him in my corner.
Been a big fan and felt for you as you had to go through your numerous injuries. Stay healthy and best of luck this season. Awesome to see a local Floridian killing it.
Adam always has time for the fans. It's so uncommon to see riders going out of their way to reply to messages and stuff
1st good luck in 2017! Do you think you will get to where you were at when you were dominating the 250 class now that you grew a little? Looks like in the outdoors you started to look a lot more comfortable!
First off thanks for stopping by. This question relates to your music interests not Moto. I know you're a big Blink 182 fan, what Is your favorite Blink song of all time and if you had the chance to hangout for a day with one member of Blink (current or former) who would it be?
I'm personally looking forward to see you race and hoping you have a good season.
Who was your favorite rider growing up?
What's your favorite track to ride?
What does it feel like to race in front of so many people have having them cheer for you?
How do you deal with the pressure of being a professional and the constant expectations from those around you?
