Adam,

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?
Stay Together for the Kids gets me every time.

Probably Tom - I have a lot of Alien questions for him.

Would you recommend riders of a "smaller stature" hold off on turning pro until they are closer to 18 to give their bodies a chance to grow or do you think if the speed is there jump at the chance?
I think it's different for everybody. There's no right or wrong decision - just the one you make.

Thank you for taking the time to do this Adam. I have to admit I never really gave you much thought coming up as a amateur racer. But the last 2 years I have become a fan because of the desire and determination you have shown as a pro. My question for you is as follows. You seem to really hit such a growth spurt in such a short time. I'm sure it was difficult for your conditioning to keep up. Looking back on it now was there anything different you could have done as far as conditioning ? Good luck this coming year and hope that all the hard work pays off for you going forward.
That's great to hear, thank you for the kind words.

My answer to your question is simple. I would have done a lot less training. My body wasn't ready for what I was doing and it showed in many forms. Live and learn, though!

Is buying a replica jersey and having you or whoever's jersey it is sign it the best way to get a pro rider jersey collection? I have never been comfortable asking someone for their things so from a rider perspective does it get old having someone ask for things or is it entirely situational?

Favorite song from Blink - California?

Bored to death / She's out of her mind are a tie for me.

Whats your take on Aliens?

Good luck this year!

Adam. I am glad you love pop punk!

TSSF, State Champs, Neck Deep, Real Friends... etc.

If you get a chance check out Have Mercy, Movements and Trash Boat. They all kill it. Also, I hope you find the top spot of the box in 2017!

When you win Round 1 of the east series, will you thank Matthes on the podium?

Hey Adam, do you think amature riders should do outdoor Nationals prior to entering their first Supercross? Sure seems to me like a season outdoors on the professional level would be beneficial.

Well, you knew it was coming and it's been on everybody's mind, so I guess I'll be the one to ask. . .

What color suit will you be wearing to your next press conference?

Adam,
Have been a fan for a long time. Thanks for taking the time to converse on the forum.
Curious what your thoughts are on new 17 KX vs the previous generation and what if any changes have you noticed or made with the new bike?
I got a lot of money on you for the championship this year. Don't let me down :-)

I'm gonna go right out and ask the most important questions..

Are you smarter than a homeschooled seventh grader?

Seriously though... blondes brunettes or redheads?

If you could have any wristwatch in the world what would it be?

When it comes to bike setup, are you a guy that likes to find a good base setting and leave it alone for the most part? Or are you on the flip side and like to fine tune your settings for all the different conditions?

Ok this question is a little touchy. Aaaaaand I'm not even sure you're gonna answer it, but what the heck.
If Kawasaki just stopped making dirt bikes and you had no choice but to switch to another manufacturer/bike. Which would it be and why?

Thanks for taking the time to do this. I'll speak for my family in saying that we're huge fans myself especially. I used to watch your game show videos on trans world back in the day and used to think it was pretty awesome that education was an important thing to you and your family. We all wish you the best in 2017 and beyond.

Thanks for taking the time to do this Adam.

My question is: What's it like being a 250 rider on the East coast, watching the season kick off in Anaheim and then having to wait another 6 weeks to start racing yourself? Is it frustrating? Or does it just get even more fired up to get get going?

Best of luck for the upcoming season. Hope you can get a title this year

Hey Adam how's it going man, nice one for doing this.

You used to train with Townly and RC back when in the day when you were just a kid, what was that experience like & is there any funny stories from back then hanging out with those two?

Good luck in 17 dude! I'll be rooting for ya!

Adam,

Since you grew up in south Florida, which track in the southeast would you pick to host a national.

No Question here. I just wanted to say that watching you win your first SX race in Dallas was awesome! I took a few buddies to the Dallas SX and all night I was telling them to watch out for you. You came out and rode an awesome race and I was so pumped for you that night. Its one of those LIVE moto memories that I'll never forget.

I think you've got a great perspective on life and racing and I wish you all the success in the world!

time for the comeback, been pulling/defending you your whole career.. you got this.. most people dont understand the physiological changes you went through that completely changed how you have to ride and learn to do everything differently based on motor skill development and execution.. long limbs are harder to control than previous shorter ones.. this year and next year, good things are going to happen for you..... Its gonna be great watching from the couch... lol

do you have a favorite sub sandwich place?
do you come here to vital forums alot/ever?
have fun and win!
1/10/2017 9:51am
Adam, real opinions on Steve Matthes? Do you burry him? Laughing

Don't really have a serious question but was at Thunder Valley this year and thought your first moto was awesome. Really fought the whole moto and clawed your way up and was really bummed to see that dragon back bite you second moto. Good luck this year and looking forward to seeing you up front!

Hey Adam, thanks for taking the time to do this. I'm an avid cyclist so my question is geared towards that. You've ridden with a lot of top pro's on the push bikes, including your self. Out of all of them, who lays down the hammer the most?

No question for you, Adam, since you have enough to answer. You've always been well spoken, and professional, and I am rooting for you, and hope to see you take the mx title in 2017. Good luck!

Okay, one serious question and one not so serious question.

1. I've heard that Mitch has a pretty specific bike setup that he has the whole team run, as opposed to other teams that might fit to rider preference. Is that accurate, and if so, do you find it be an advantage (since you have a consistent platform) or do you sometimes wish you could steer the setup in your own direction?

2. How do you feel about Vital threads popping up each time you or Forkner likes a picture of a hot bar on Instagram?

Adam,

Who is the most naturally gifted rider you've ever been around? Also, what specifically does that rider do that impresses you?

Thanks and best of luck in the East.

Adam, first, thanks for doing this. I'm a big fan and just wanted you to know that you come off as being one of the more intelligent riders. I've enjoyed your commentating in the past.

Quick question, I was at the MXGP of Charlotte, to witness you rip a great start and unfortunately, wad up in the second turn. We all know that you were somewhat injured after the crash. Can you elaborate on the extent? How long were you off of the bike after that? Many have speculated that you didn't start riding again until recently.

Thanks!

Green, of course.
