Man this is such a fun series to watch. Keep em coming!

[@arrowv1]

Danton Barnes , I totally agree! Keep the episodes coming.

[@jamiecaffrey13]

Great series, please make more of these and more often! It’s great to see the work, dedication and effort that’s needed to get to that elite level whilst holding down a day job; Adam’s doing a fantastic job!

[@WalkerSkyRanch]

Love this show and documentary! I Think Adam is really appreciative of his opportunity, and of all the sponsors.

[@richardhalford68]

Really enjoying this series - thank you! Great job to all involved and good luck for all the coming races.

[@paranoidandroid4270]

Bravo sir. A mild mannered guy who rips harder than you and I ever will.

[@gawliq]

Finally!

[@averagemtbr6390]

hands down best series you guys have.

[@Weezing818]

Great episode, looking forward to more. Thank you!

[@WasabiWei]

Coffee deficit. No bueno! Great work! Coming along well. More time on the bike now that tires and setup are basically dialed will do wonders for Adam's confidence level. Nice progress for sure!

[@ernie3878]

I love this, you should do like a diary with workouts, training, etc, weekly videos please!

[@khattrimtb89]

Best of luck adam...and great support from pinkbike thats very nice...🤘🤘🤘🤘 Jealous Me.. 😂😂😂😂

[@TwoGuysOneVan]

[@shanelennon6584]

I love this series

[@cpalmermn]

For the benefit of both the viewers and your tire sponsor, would be cool to see more detailed info and feedback on tire selection for the various conditions. Fun watch tho, for sure!

[@oliverwilkins621]

Loving the series!

[@zacstrattonfishing3789]

Best series on KZbin

[@jonahfaeste9728]

Adam is an animal! Sick series

[@thewoodjedi1]

Great Great series, I hate the wait for the next shows

[@DoraJ4]

Loving the series, thought I'd enter the Coed Y Brenin enduro and give it a shot!

[@addappt]

Love this series.

[@ampere400]

this series is awesome

[@keyshey]

bring in Cathro as a trainer :D

[@michaelskembo4741]

I love watching him explain techniques.

[@MT-bp7ub]

Good job, man!

[@greendogggggg]

I Love this Series

[@fuadsabra9818]

Good job Adam! Enjoy it

[@calvinjonesyoutube]

He looks like such a good rider and has such a great opportunity, not sure if he just dosent show his appreciation/optimism or dosent have it. Next pro intervention, sports psychologist?

[@TNW84]

calvinjones Seems to me to be a common British trait. Not that he's not appreciative, he's just not an extrovert. Dry can be interpreted as rude. I'm sure the off-camera moments tell the real story. Racing is intense so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt here.

[@samrowland2816]

As an Englishman I'll agree with the other commenter that we can come across that way, we tend not to go in for all the whoopin an hollerin, and when we do, it's kinda weird, i.e. Sam Pilgrim. Also though, I'll 100% agree with you Calvin that a sports psychologist is needed, he's psyching himself out of these races every time. Also he doesn't seem to be getting any coaching at all, surely a Pro rider would be?

[@manuelcasanueva5408]

I think Yoann Barelli will be a good influence for him, great rider with a great personality. I hope Adam improves on this aspect since it seems like the only one dragging him back.

[@calvinjonesyoutube]

Hi Laura, thanks for your response, and the extra info. I`m sorry if you felt my comment was too critical. I think everyone on here wishes him well. it was just an observation about him appearing to limit his own true potential. Here's to the inevitable improvement that hard work will pay off. Mainly i want to say neither you or Adam should concern yourselves with what an outsider such as myself with limited information thinks. With that said, my humble hope is that Adam treats any help he gets as a boost that makes greater success with his bike even more likely, not as a pressure to live up to. Anyway, all the best to both of you.

[@anthonycrainie5271]

Love watching Adam improve all the time 👏👏 looking forward to seeing him smash it at Whistler 👍👍

[@damonheim3966]

this is good stuff

[@catto3458]

his aggressive riding style is amazing

[@moor3.m3dia]

Unreal series

[@MarCheChan]

keep going bro!!!! U r great!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RageForSeven]

great physical progression, but he still needs a mental coach. He started the 1st day with a lot of apprehension which most likely hindered him throughout. End of 1st day and he is down mentally, best expressed by his "middle of the pack racer for the rest of my life" statement. His recovery on 2nd day is to be commended, however all the damage was done on 1st day.

[@jcfilms2641]

9:55 he has become Canadian apparently

[@andrews9577]

Well done

[@jonathancox2969]

Adam shreds!!!!!

[@TyBrenninger]

Paul the Punter cameo @11:11

[@felixthiel4021]

Ty Brenninger Nice Observation👌 is that badgers crying seal?

[@TyBrenninger]

Felix Thiel yup

[@GavynPendleton]

Pinkbike, for the next season of the privateer you should try calling Ted Jaramillo! He’s an awesome kid (19 right now) with a lot of talent. He is racing pro right now, in the big mountain enduro. He is one of the nicest most genuine people I know, and would really fit well in this story line. It could be about him switching to racing bigger races in the world enduro circuit.

[@billschwarz1157]

Weird, I never wash out on the front end... until I rode Magic Mary's and it happened 3 times. hmm

[@thebrokemtbrider148]

I really want to progress amd get better on my bike, but I wanted to ask, could you be a professional enduro racer on an entry level hardtail?

[@frankhutton6747]

Can anyone just enter EWS races? Or do you have to have status?

[@SmileyBoy84]

Wow. Nice👍

[@michaelskembo4741]

You guys are making wait far too long between episodes! I feel like a junky jonesing for a fix!

[@joshobrien7708]

what CamelBak pack is adam wearing ??

[@catcandyify]

Anyone know what song is playing at 10:15?

[@jayjones4394]

'I don't have a plan.... just pedal' to me, this will keep him from ever progressing in a meaningful way.

[@JR-dq7kp]

more more more !!!!👍👌😂

[@Z1E1K1E]

10 tires of each compound... did i hear that right???

[@michaelskembo4741]

Yep! That's what it's like to have manufacturer support.

[@WasabiWei]

Makes meh thirsteh! Can you imagine?

[@onetonf350]

I tripped on that too. Wow

[@thomascoleman9091]

I would like to point out that I rode silver mountain on a hard tail bike made for climbing

[@AarenMarkenstein]

do one for downhill

[@genevievedemers3675]

I want to be next season privateer🤩🤙🏻! Ehhhh ahhhh

[@mariocorsi7647]

yesss

[@robertmakar6000]

10 tires should do. okay 10 of each compound ....yeah...yes, yes that would be ideal LOL Ill take the old ones.

[@nemanjamaksimovic1263]

this guy is fast

[@elifowler-roy7121]

What shoes does Adam have?

[@frankhutton6747]

Please do season 2 If you are struggling to find someone then I'll do the difficult thing and take his place. It would pain me dearly but If I have to I will.

[@SmileyBoy84]

@Kristian Odgaard magic mary!

[@blockobsessed7848]

What's the bike?

[@sj_leee4995]

the next episode looks too gnarly

[@daverichardson6334]

2 things that require 0 talent : Passion and Attitude. You've got the passion now start having the attitude of a winner! We're all routing for you bro!! Ride hard and have fun!!

[@mikeleemtb8419]

haha sweet line at 6:16

[@basiramin1738]

Finally

[@ariel_monaco]

Huge attitude issue, coaching needed there more than anything else. Keep it up

[@hunterdean11]

A natural

[@TheJamesWB]

Watching an orca documentary as pre-ride pump-up? 8:20, maybe you need to get a professional pump-up coach to come in with some sports-movie speeches and death metal?

[@TylerBoothGolf]

TheJamesWB I run on the combo of chill Deadmau5 during the morning to keep calm, then Slipknot to fire the cylinders!

[@kilobitti]

I've come to notice that people have very different strategies for preparing. Personally I usually have quite a high energy when there's pressure involved, so my mental preparation before a race is usually trying calm myself. At the end of the day it's whatever works for you.

[@michaelrayner685]

wish this was an actual tv show

[@tyhennessy9945]

The dude shreds... but is it just me or does he doubt himself more then anyone else around him? also doesn't seem to have that drive or the ability to push himself to an absolute limit. just my thoughts after viewing these vids. love it though I hope this opens some doors for him. he does rip and has damn good style on the bike.

[@rrb396]

He's probably just overwhelmed and trying to be humble. Not many people get the kind of attention he is getting, and at the same time his dream is coming true. It's a crazy emotional experience man lol. I have no idea how I would react.

[@AltitudeAerials]

The heck is this guy’s problem? Is he expecting to Sam Hill the heck out of his 1st race? Talk about being pessimistic, he already rides pretty well and most of us would be grateful to be in his position. Show some positivity man!

[@anthonymcmahon1844]

its weird when he surrounds your head huh.does that to me when i ride what i can its like having a vortex and a jet cabin with a window open around your head.i noticed the shock was to loose for the terrain and the second required loosening again.i couldnt do that on my best day i dont think,but i wish i could.apparently they wont let me own one because i might kill myself and blow everybody up but i road ridges on a kawasaki 250 hitting burms and didnt have any issues lol.

[@Co-km6cl]

Loudest bike ever

[@wolflovesbiking6218]

im so firkin nervus i have norways 2nd biggest race and I feel like im going to throw up

[@jamesherd9132]

You cant beet a Magic Mary

[@polishguywithhardtospellna8227]

Dare to say if Adam is able to take off his helmet with one hand and while on a bike riding, IT'S WAY TOO BIG helmet

[@gabestevens100]

Can i be the next privateer?

[@colosabeastepic8670]

Mtb Life you can be a privateer

[@gabestevens100]

Colosabeast Epic sry but like i mean in season 2

[@TylerBoothGolf]

Wish I worked for Pinkbike and got to do this! It's hard trying to fit it all into a 40+hrs work week. But it can be done. Just have to want it! (And have the cash haha)

[@thomasspelmans9455]

The rowing machine would ruin it for me

[@hazaryigit2287]

i think he must be in a team i want to see in EWS to him

[@pinkbike]

Adam will be racing the EWS in Whistler in just a few weeks!

[@dhdoctors]

Bro you have good position on the bike, but your technique is fucking brutal to watch. Slamming every turn is costing you HEAPS and HEAPS of time, wtf are you thinking? RELAX FLOW FUN WIN! Seriously... remember Wade Simmons amazing style videos, watch them again, then show me learned something in your next awesome episode.

[@leonardoolivar]

Two tips to Adam : Quit drinking at all (in case you do that) Leave for a few months the bread or better the gluten. You will improve your reaction and reflexes in a month. Trust me. Cheers!

[@loveroos627]

"You could hug this tree, straighten the whole section out". Yes you could. This is how enduro kills trails.

[@brainclerk4431]

i dont see any hunger or passion , how can anyone watch dolphins to psych themselves up ? i know hes doing alot better but i truly dont think he believes im himself . Self belief will change so much

[@bryn_appleton]

Very cheesy music
