PLUGGED IN PODCAST | End Of The Ride

Big news this week as Adam announces his plans to retire from professional racing at the end of the 2024 Monster Energy Supercross season.

[@TDAOFF-ROAD]

Finally a solid replacement for Ricky. A great day for our sport.

[@markmcmahen9442]

Can't stand Ricky, he stuuuudders way too much

[@hung8969]

@@markmcmahen9442I used to defend him but holy hell in his own podcast the dude is UNBEARABLE. Hit his head to many times. Laying facedown in a whoop section will do it to you….

[@rtsstream]

Ricky does fine, be happy you get to watch the races period. who cares if he gets a name wrong here and there...still enjoy watching

[@Lovesbighangers]

Ricky was awesome on the bike….he sucked with a mic

[@ShellbackUSN]

Exactly what my wife and I were just saying.

A champion in my books...I've been following AC since 85cc amateur years thanks for an incredible journey🤙🏼

[@yzwoody]

Really hope to see you on tv soon. Congrats on a great run. Integrity is everything and you have it in spades

[@dallascferguson]

I don't know if you will see this but my most fond memory of you was at milestone. I was sitting at my truck with my dad relaxing. You came around the corner in a van. There was a little kid playing with some toy dirt bikes in the dirt. You got out of your van an gave the kid a pair of goggles. It was a wholesome moment. You just did it out of the kindness of your heart. Probably didn't even think someone saw. But I did :)

[@SB-wu9mk]

The crazy thing is to 'roll around' and still get 12th in the world..... Congrats on your career, Adam, and thank you for all the years of entertainment you have provided by being so good on and off of the track.

[@Rydin_Pulp135]

Make a grown man cry why dont you.... Major kudos to you AC!! Not easy accomplishment to be as well liked as you are in this sport

[@hung8969]

We raced each other a lot growing up. 65-85 days, you were the kid my dad always made me watch, follow and try to stick to for as long as we could. Never saw you after the first 5 corners lol. So glad to say I got to see you race pros and achieve so much.

[@Leggoeljefeblu]

Enjoy retirement and you’ve grown so much infront of the world. It’s been a joy and appreciate your time in the sport. Looking forward to you in the booth

[@314McGrath]

As a fellow racer with nerve damage, I have a ton of respect. It is the most debilitating and chronic unsolved mystery you can deal with. It will bring you down mentally like none other, but also create a ton of resiliency and creativity in building adaptations. Cheers to a great career in racing, and most importantly being a great role model in showing character through adversity.

[@CustomPowerwash]

Incredible ride! Have been a fan since the mini bike days! You had a great run. We all know you had the potential to be an all-time great. Everyone recognizes that and you’ve got the respect of the entire moto community. Enjoy retirement!

[@sambaker7722]

I watched you at Area 51 (private Florida track) when you were on superminis go faster than local pros. No matter what you do AC, you will do great because you’re a good person who works hard. Thank you for being you.

[@user-rq9nx3hn7p]

Area 51 was fuckin intense. I showed up and refused to ride it 😂

[@TheDjt1992]

I'm hoping for new 2 wheeled content from Adam in the future. Enter a supermoto race. Enter a dirtrack race. Enter hillclimb race. Enter an ice lake race. Just all for fun and for content sake. Results not as important as experience and fun.

[@codygrams]

I’d love to see some of the guys ride single track and try some enduro as well.

[@akatgif]

Did you not understand that he has nerve damage?

[@loganpinner5212]

@@akatgifbeing a factory rider and riding a dirt bike for fun are 2 complete different things, do you not understand?

[@MsCas3]

Was driving on the freeway one time and happened to notice him driving in his truck, I rolled down the window and gave him a thumbs up and a hell ya, he looked over and did the same. Could tell just from that Adam is the real deal. Much appreciated, it made our day. Thanks for all the great years.

[@DirtRacerProductions]

Been watching AC since this kid was in 8th grade and been a fan ever since. Have enjoyed the ride brotha. Keep being you!

[@mikedetwiler5568]

[@CoachRobbBeams]

Thank you, Adam, for everything you have added to this great sport! Congratulations to you and your family on a tremendous career. Here is to seeing and hearing more from you while you are in the booth.

[@NorrisCRT]

I remember being at Atlanta Supercross in 2019 watching you win was awesome I’ll always remember that night hope you have a great retirement Adam will miss you on the gate every weekend that’s for sure.

[@averagejoe9731]

The big man upstairs will never give you more than you can not handle if you look at the silver lining. Be proud of yourself and what you have achieved. There is people who couldn’t handle what you have accomplished. Be happy! You deserve it all! It’s a new chapter! Live it!!!

[@guest6423]

Who doesn't love Adam?! THANK YOU for all the enjoyment you brought us. On to bigger and better things!

[@fasterthanyou7605]

Love you bro, you gave everything anyone could have asked for, and for that you should find peace. God is good and his grace is sufficient

[@royhoglund1322]

Wow, big announcement! You've been one of my favorite riders to watch, one of the fastest guys to throw a leg over a dirt bike! I wish you all the best in retirement and I hope to see you behind the mic! You have such a great insight into racing dirt bikes that you'd be a great asset to any crew!

[@MikeLit2]

Congratulations on retirement! You’ve had an incredible career and accomplished more than alot of people in this sport. You’ll always be a legend in the MX/SX world 🤘9️⃣🏆

[@shane_ohara51]

I've been a huge fan ever since I saw "the heart of motocross" and you were so little hahah. hell of a career my friend. its been a hell of a ride watching you out there. youll be one of my favorites for long time!

[@NickyP902]

Been a pleasure watching you over the years sir 🫶

[@caloulmanganou]

Wish you the best Adam. Classy and amazing from the start to finish. Greeting from a french fan !!!

[@DungeonHunters]

I suffered a brachial plexus nerve injury in 2021 that medically retired me from my career and seeing someone else with a nerve damage injury still compete at the highest level of motocross and supercross has inspired me every single day through my adapting to having these issues post injury. Thank you AC for being a man of character, integrity, honesty and determination! We are proud of you brother and can’t wait to see what you do next!

[@TommyAaronF]

AC is so well spoken that he could definitely; 100 percent be the new David Bailey in the booth.

[@jeffrobinson6145]

Thanks for all the great moto memories, and best of luck moving forward 👍

[@keithdobbins6369]

AC will always be a class act, hell of a career

[@craigstrydom8862]

You will be missed, a sad day for the sport, hope you find your peace in life bro. one of the best rookie season when you came to supercross 2014 you dominated that season until toronto love you as a person great personality much love from South Africa

[@2009captainpaul]

You've always been a class act AC, both on and off the bike. Motocross and Supercross won't be the same without you on track.

[@JonnyJetson754]

Thanks 4 The memories 💯 Lets make some more going forward

[@timetter7062]

Enjoy the next part of your journey brother everyone loved watching you ride.

[@rodneyking2173]

Just a class act and a victim of bad luck. If he was able to stay healthy he could of been one of the greatest (he was fast on everything 80's 250's 450's). He was extremely fast and always had the speed and starts. I hope he is in the sport forever like a Broc Glover, Larry Brooks, Erik Kehoe (Unrtil His retirement) and Jeremy, and RC. I don't know him personally but I can tell this is a really good and solid man! He was great!!

[@awsumsum]

Lots of love to you Adam. It is a sad day, but it is also a new beginning. I hope you stay in the sport. It needs you. Peace to you and your family.

[@atinygrilledcheese4296]

I swear it’s just dirt in my eyes… ;( love you AC. Thank you for all the years of racing and putting it all on the line. You’re a legend and one of my favorites ever

[@alexharbison816]

Met and got a picture with AC at Birmingham Supercross, he’s the coolest most kind and genuine guy in the sport, hope he sticks around after retirement and has a part in the sport for many years

[@tjroe5190]

God speed Adam! Thanks for all the good times!

[@purplehead9511]

Devastated for you AC, but you have left a big mark on the sport and can no doubt add huge value going forward especially in broadcasting. Whatever you do only wish you the very best, thanks for the memories AC9, enjoy your well earned retirement.

[@HoHoPlays]

Thank you Adam for everything you've done in this sport! I can't wait to see what's next for you, you're going to kill it!

[@boostcreep2152]

“I feel like I’ve failed and succeeded the perfect amount” - Adam Cianciarulo. Perfect quote to sum up your career. Still miss the days I couldn’t wait to go home to rewatch over and over AC ripping the pc kx 125. 😢❤

[@jordanb1330]

Thank you for everything, I've had a hell of a time watching you grow up.

[@danacarr731]

Gotta admit, I got a little choked up when I saw your announcement this AM. You've been my favorite racer for a very long time. Happy for you that you're confident and content with your decision, and I'm stoked excited to see your next chapter.

[@chadkennedy529]

I'm sure Adam already has a job in the industry, and we all would welcome you in the booth any day!

[@Gatedrop]

Impressive career to be a champion after all the injuries and be a front runner on a 450. Experienced all sides...ideal for broadcasting which clearly is your future. 🎉

[@EricBible87]

AC, your mentality to overcome adversity will aid you in whatever you decide to do in life. You've been through injury after injury with racing, and each time you come back just as fast as before. You cannot downplay your impact on the sport, or the accomplishments you've achieved. You are a legend in the hearts of true dirt bike racing fans, you've won at every level, and I believe you will be successful at the next level in your life. Looking forward to seeing what is next for you.

[@jman9199]

Ill miss cheering you on brother, rest up and enjoy watching the races and being your best self 🤘🏻👌🏻🙏🏻

AC I just started riding and following SX/MX about 3 years ago. Man you were one of the first guys I saw rehabbing your shoulder. Man you have done more than most. Things happen my man. Hey man done with 2 wheels let's get into 4 wheel racing!!!

[@JoeCole12]

I don’t watch pod cast but I can watch you talk about anything, even stuff that doesn’t interest me like golf. LOL. Can’t wait to see what’s next!!!

Nice guy!!! Was fast too..... Bummer but here comes a PRO as a speaker!!! Will be the announcer for our sport!!! 💪💪💪

[@chasemclaughlin836]

Sad day man I remember Texas lake Whitney AM national maybe 2008 when Webb wrote “get out of my way” on your radiator shroud and I saw it in the trash and grabbed it! Been a fan ever since and it still hangs on my wall till this day

[@Rockhead75]

Adam is the coolest dude in the 450 class!! Please stay here for us ❤

[@therealjd1503]

Think of it like this, even with your injury, you are still one of the best guys on a dirt bike. You should be proud of that.

[@MrSaul04]

27 and wise beyond your years! The sport is so lucky to have you and we 'the fans' and so happy to have you staying around! Thanks for sharing with us this level of insight.. peace!

Thanks letting us go on this ride with you AC, Ill always be rooting for you no matter which path you choose to go down next.

[@nathanvanhuis5679]

Man. I've known this day was coming eventually but this news hits harder than I would have thought. Thinking how much time has past and things have changed since the Monster Cup Supermini days is a lot to take in. Being an AC fan hasn't always been easy, but it's been real.

[@Maczust63]

Just thinking of Adam on a cobra. He's the first rider I've followed and watched his whole career in real time. Crazy. He will do really well in the media and probably be our new guy in the booth. Im excited for his bench racing and stories.

[@therealjd1503]

Much respect to you Adam. You could have rode around and made a paycheck like a lot of people would but, since you know you can’t perform at your best your stepping away. I respect the hell out of that and for what you have brought to this sport. No matter what you have left your mark in this sport, and the fans are grateful for it. Hopefully we will see you on the broadcast because we all know you would kill that position. Much love🤘

[@tylerkolevar8992]

Grew up watching you ride and wishing I was as fast lol. Thanks for the years and for opening up at the end of your career. Can’t wait to see what’s next for you AC!

Thanks for the memories Adam. Its been awesome to watch you.

[@bamtracing2624]

Just wanted to say I Love you Adam, you have given me the motivation to stay hungry many times. So many times i wanted to quit moto because i couldn’t afford it and the disappointment that comes with it. Ive been watching you ride since 2006 and I want to say Thank You for the journey. You are honestly my favorite rider these days just based on your hunger and also how much you’ve shifted your attitude in recent years. Im Praying for your success in the next chapter 🎉

[@warrencurrie6454]

Thank you for all that you have done for the sport. Hopefully you will be around it still for a long time.

Happy for you AC. I wasn’t ready for this but I’m happy for you.

[@ChickenKing55]

Man that into brought a tear to my eye. I remember when you got on a 125 and had and edit out on the supercross track to "what's my age again?" That was my first introduction to blink and have been a fan ever since. Thanks for the memories Adam.

[@AlexEffertz]

Damn, that intro hit me right in the feels. Thanks for all the memories!

[@stalliondave9338]

Mate you are knowledgeable, passionate and a nice, relatable, humble guy. You can definitely have a great career in moto outside of racing pro whether it be commentary, casting, media live or social. Looking forward to having you as a figurehead of the sport for years to come. Big love brother, good job

I was there that night in Arlington. I had never heard of you before that but I teared up listening to you on the podium. I'll keep following your path.

[@cordellpak]

I vividly remember watching your first sx race in Arlington from the 2nd deck in the endzone by the 2 90's after the first rhythm. Ever since then, seeing how your career has gone and how many things you've had to fight back from to make your career what it became in the first place has been incredible to watch. Although I think we all know you could have accomplished MUCH more results wise, I feel you made the best out of your situation and seeing how content you are with everything at the end of the road is fantastic to see. You have a fuck ton to be proud of. Much love and it's been an honor to follow your career and get to know your personality and perspectives as I've grown up myself, I was 14 at that Arlington race LMAO. Cheers on an incredible career AC.

[@MXsauceMemes]

Been a big AC for years. Before my wife was even really into MX, I showed her the KZbin vid of him ripping on the 85 at RC’s-and he became her favorite rider after that clip “My name is Adam Cianciarulo AND I LIKE TO RIDE. DIRT. BIKES.” We’ll always be in your autograph line no matter what. Thanks for all of the fun racing entertainment that you’ve gifted the moto community from such a young age. Stoked to see what’s next 🤘
