Wow...anothet video about Adam talking about girls. I hope this kid doesnt get someone pregnant at 17 and totally derail his career. Seems like this is all I hear from this kid
I guess RacerX is gonna suck this sandbaggers weiner now that js7 is almost done wasting good sponsors time and money.Seeing ac92 get beat by Webb was worth the price of admission alone.I was about to renew my subscription,but not if this is splattered all over the mag like stewwie was.Maybe ac92 needs the cover so he can get the cover curse too-sure worked on Baggett....Hog Heaven Pro MX $10,000 shootout moved to weekend of Nov.3&4 due to Stacy....
Im a fan. This is what the sport needs
lol what in the heck are all u guys talking about. That was one of the best interviews in awhile. He actually does show character and personality unlike pretty much everyone else. Hes like TP199 when it comes to interviews and trust me thats great for the sport. And how can anyone ever say hes goona be a never was. The kid is a freakin machine. Can someone name me how many people they know that can jump off the supermini and skip all of schoolboy and 250B and jump into A and instantly win. Hes on the best bike out there and seems to be in a really good place. And how can u guys also say hes arregant. I mean yeah uve gotta believe in urself, but he NEVER puts his compitition down or rambles on about how great he is like...cough cough James Stewart. I cant see him being anything less than RV RC RD ect... I do howver think he should go pro after lorettas cause we didnt get to see him go mono y mono with Mcelrath, Webb, Bisceglia (he was hurt but annihalated B class at lorettas), Smith, or Gaines who was flying both motos and I believe couldve won with a start and staying upright but idk if hes staying in B or going to A though. AC92 is on a great path to championship ways and has a good head on his shoulders. Go adam Im voting for ya buddy
Why is RacerX promoting this kid so much.Usually top am.kids his are moving up to the pros.He is just now moving up to the big bikes for LL.I'll bet Kawasaki using him to cherry pick the schoolboy class at LL or the B class.It will be another two years before he moves up to pro.RacerX did the same thing with Zack Osborn.I think when he turns pro that he won't do that much.
I have to agree with Stevez I'm sick of hearing about him. I'll give you the reason he stayed in 85s so long before moving to 250s.
He's name Zach Bell !
Cause 92 wouldn't of had a chance and he had to wait for Zach to turn pro before the move.
We are in Bizzaro World at that was RD5.
Enough with the hype. 3 kids from nc were at least as fast at mec. He has talent but wow the coverage he gets. Lets see a vid on Webb or McElrath.
Half of you guys sound like little bit@hs. Give the kid some credit! AC is the future of the sport.
Yah and who had the fastest lap ever at LL. Zach Bell !
The most dominate rider in the 250s that LL might of ever seen. Nobody was even close to him. Nobody!
Better a bit@h then a Yamaha f@g
isn't bell the one who keeps winding up in the dirt? I am pretty sure the victories go to the guy who "finishes" the race in first.
I too am a fan of AC92 and do not think he will get derailed at any point. Strong family, good folks around him, and by all accounts a very level headed young man.
We have some years of good mx watching ahead of us.
zach bell this, zach bell that. It woud be one thing if he could keep it on two wheels but he cant. AC can and will. thats the future, i'm glad he's getting so much exposure. hope with that being said he'll be like Poto and stay green.
shane mcalreth had the fastest lap time at LL
Nsp1 sorry your wrong you must have not been there.
Open class to bad I don't know you so you could put you money where you mouth is...............
Organ doner I believe he keep it on 2 wheels at LL like I said before
I would like to see him come to Canada and race some Nationals. It would be cool to see him ride in person, and a good learning experience for him as well. Longer motos than amateur, and some different fast riders to ride against. Dean Wilson rode three Canadian Nationals before his final Loretta Lynn's and it served him well.
rotn1 look it up its in black and white and zach went down in the open class thats why he didnt win it he came back pretty good but hes got to stay off the ground
Yes he does. He come back alright he smoke the 450s in moto 3.
rotn1 look it up its in black and white and zach went down in the open class thats why he didnt win it he came back pretty good but hes got to stay off the ground
Guys just look at what Fred's wrote he hit the nail on the head. Period!
AC92 is obviously super talented! I'm looking forward to seeing how well he does wen he turns pro and his comp has all the tools that are somewhat close to his. What mini rider ever has had the support that AC gets, training at RVs with Aldon and riding the best that PC has and who gets Bones tuning their suspension for days at that age. When AC gets on a more level playing field with guys that have bikes that are in the same zip code he may not be as good as all these but kissers think. He is being groomed to be a corporate machine much like Jimmie johnson, RC,RD and other marketing machines we have seen in other sports. I have seen AC race a few times and I have never seen anyone throw a temper tantrum like this kid has. All kids do it at one time or another but this one is always under the spot light and I'm sure he is under a lot of pressure. Hopefully AC grows up quick and becomes what everyone expects. I'm not a big fan of his yet, but to be under that kind of pressure at such a young age has to be much harder than any of us normal racers can imagine. It's funny how the industry jumps right on the band wagon and pumps up anyone that has a lot of support. The last guy that was pumped up this much was JS7 and he hasn't produced 20% of what everyone was expecting. AC also seems to be extremely girl crazy and that is something that has never helped anyone become better at anything but ending up with less money and more problems. Hopefully AC is able to become what everyone is expecting and us fans get to witness some great talent pushing this great sport to the next level that nobody has even seen yet.
Adam Cianciarulo deserves the hype he gets. He's extremely fast and consistent. Talking about black and white, go look in the record books at Lorettas: 11 wins on mini's alone. And while Zach Bell is fast, he's like Bubba: First or Hurt. AC has the talent, the backing, and the consistency to do what Villopoto did when he went pro. He will be a great pro rider.
Oh, and McElrath had the fastest lap of a 1:50.923, Bell had a 1:51.714. Check your facts before posting.
And get off his ass about the girls. He's clearly making a joke and making teenage pregnancy jokes is just plain stupid.
PALA !

Why are you guys bashing on him for liking girls? He's a normal 16 year old teenager, give him a damn break.
C'mon guys. First, the fastest lap EVER at lorettas was set by Eli Tomac in 2009, dont believe me check it out. The fastest lap this year was Mcelrath with a 1:50. If u guys wanna see webb and mcelrath check out vurbmoto, theres a ton of footage of them. Like I said before, the only guy who doesnt get the rightful respect he deserves is Nick Gaines he was flying both motos before crashing. If the kid stays in B 1 more year hell freakin dominate and everyones gonna be like "wow whos that kid". Do an interview on him and Jordan Smith there both really hard workers
so many haters on here . some of you act like your rooting for your home football team . my rider is better than your rider crap is so lame , the actual teams and riders dont hate each other as much as the punk ass whiners on these message boards . motocross is a small sport and everyone of these riders deserves the upmost respect . yeah they are immature sometimes but they are kids .
The fact without energy drinks Motocross/Supercross is broke really sucks.
Man, listen to all of the whiners on this site, pretty pathetic. We are all supposed to be moot fans, or at least I thought. Funny all of the comments about girls. He's a 16 year old kid going through puberty. Its normal. Sounds like some guys on here maybe like the other boys or didn't get much action until college.
Here we go again about fastest lap times... Unless you are road racing and the track doesn't change, then lap times don't mean squat unless you are talking about the same moto. It looks like a lot of people on this site don't actually race... Or ride for that matter. I also love the sandbagged comments. Until this year the kid was under 100lbs. Why didn't he just go ahead and race a 450 this year. He is obviously smaller in stature and a late bloomer, he is doing things correctly. For his very first race, and such a big one at that, against not only A riders, but kids riding bigger bikes for a lot longer he had a hell of a first race.
I liked the interview, kid seems like he has a good sense of humor and is real mellow. He's also just turned 16. You guys remember when you were 16? (although a few on here seem like they are not that age yet)
the ONLY reason he was held back off the 250s is because he was stil tiny!! look at him now his balls probly still havnt dropped... give him a break and stop coming up with these stupid reasons why they kept him off a 250..
and y does he seem to be extremely girl crazy @TWK1?? you answer questions you get asked dnt you? thats all he was doing??....
Roczen & Herlings were faster than him at his age.
Dont mean to rain on everyones parade to those who are downing the kids accomplishment but the fact is he is FAST and will always be FAST. Mitch wouldn't let him move up to the 250 until he weighed at least 120 lbs which is a FACT. His first actual race against the fastest amateur riders was phenomenal. He was in third the first moto before crashing and won the second moto by a pretty large margin. His lap time the first moto was d@mn near close to McElrath (McElrath 1:10.599 - Cinciarulo 1:10.672). Not to mention hes had a year + less time on a 250 than those guys. His hype more or less comes from being signed to ProCircuit at a young age and hanging with all the Pro's because of his affiliation with ProCircuit. You cant Knock the kid for being fast and being exposed by the media; its not his fault he is Uber talented and talks like he had a decent education and upbringing.
Fact is he came to MEC posted fast laps, proved he will be right with these guys and ended the day with a moto win. Not to mention the top 3 amateurs (Adam, Shane, and Cooper) lap times were only 2-3 seconds off of the top 3 pro's including Villopoto's time (Villo, Barcia, and Dungey/Tomac). All these amateur kids have speed they just need that extra year.
OH and what where yall "Keyboard Mafia's" doing at 16-17. Dont hate the kid because he is doing more and will make more than yall (including me) ever will.
Jonesy mx and kawi567
You need to check your facts! Go to LL results and lap times dumb A
Bell Race 1 1st lap a 1:40.354
Race 2 1st lap a 1:42:961
Race 3 1st lap a 143.393
Wish I new you two as well so you could put your money where your mouth is.
Let me know when your rider in 250s can dominate the A class like Zack did nobody was even close. Mac won't of stood a chance either.. And i like the guy i hope he put 92 in his place.
Zack won by more than 15 sec in each of the 3 races you need to check the videos.. Those are the facts!
rotn1. all Yamaha's aren't bad... it's a user name you douche
@theped26--First off your post sounds petty, jealous, and childish.. Secondly--how do you even know the answer to that really?? They have never raced each other, or been on the same track together.. Its a bigoted and silly statement. Keep your comments in Europe if you are going to be like that..
AC is 16 years old, that means he is a minor. How a bunch of adults can bash (in some cases flat-out insult) a kid is hard to understand. He is a talented kid following a dream. The people posting are supposed to be supporters of MX and SX but there is a lot of negativity. Promoting any rider at any level is good for the sport, bringing sponsors to the sport, keeping existing sponsors, and our ability to see it on TV.
@JonR290--the only thing I can see is jealousy.. What else could it be? I assume the people on here are adults, its hard to believe sometimes.. But the kid gets attention and some of the people on here act like he has done something wrong.. The people posting their hate are not true fans of the sport I guess..
@JonR290 @bd200 - it's gotta be jealousy... otherwise what the hell is wrong with these people!? The kid goes damn FAST on a dirtbike and he's fun to watch. done.
This kid is great for the sport. How many of you bashers were fully mature at 16? Most of you aren't even now. How many of you were into girls at age 16? At 16 for most hetero guys chicks are about the biggest interest in their lives. Adam speaks well, and represents his sponsors well.He is doing a fantastic job juggling high profile sponsors in a grown ups world He is a lot like Pastrana was at his age. Judging a 16 year old kid by adult maturity, and intelligence standards is really imbecilic.
@ rotn1 :....you're making yourself look stupid the first lap is not counted towards a fast lap because with the location of the start the first lap is actually much shorter than a full lap do you actually think that by coincidence his first laps wee 8 sec faster than his next best lap ...pay attention to the details rookie
Last time I checked, the person being interviewed doesn't get to write the questions. The group surrounding this "kid" is absolutely nothing short of amazing, truly sad how many haters frequent message boards, who at 16 were probably popping pimples in the mirror and wanking off to the bra and panty section of a Sears catalog......
It's working y'all must of come from penn state.
Great video and even better interview Adam ! How lucky are we to have such a grounded , fun young man with such talent . Best of luck !
Interviews are only as good as the person asking the questions! The girl question was kind of random in between all the moto questions, gotta keep it fresh I guess! I am looking forward to see what Adam can do in the pro ranks!
