NATE ADAMS
insane jumps stacked all over
the property, then there’s Faisst’s
house with the FMX course and
a Speed & Style track around
the ramps and then there’s my
place with a few ramps and a
few smaller scaled Speed &
Style lanes that I like to practice
on as much as I can. Over the
fence from my house is Maddo’s
house, and Deegan’s is down
the street but I don’t ride there
much. Also, Pala Raceway has a
freestyle set-up that Renner has
been in charge of, I think that’s
his foam pit set-up there too. So
there’s a whole bunch of courses
that are X Games scaled close
by.
It really is cool to have so many
guys around riding. If you want
to go riding every single day, you
can definitely find someone that
will go riding with you. There’s
no shortage of guys willing to
ride. It’s got to be one of the
best spots in the world to live
in for motocross in general. We
live in it and are used to it so we
probably are spoiled for it and
you really don’t realize how good
you have it until you go to other
parts of the world and see what
other top riders have to ride on it’s definitely a blessing!
What is a normal training
focused day like for Nate
Adams preparing for X Games?
As I’ve gotten older, I pick more
wisely how I’m going to train.
I used to train really hard but
I’m learning now that training
smarter is better for me. Instead
of doing a long run or a 30-mile
road bike ride, I’ll go put in
some solid motos or I’ll go ride
Speed & Style and make it count
when I practice. So that’s kind
of what I’ve been doing the last
two years to keep it switched up
from how I used to train prior to
that.
A typical day is to: wake up,
get some food in my belly, and
handle e-mails so that my mind
is clear when I’m riding and
not thinking about my to-do
list for after. I’ll then do a light
warm-up in my home gym to
get the muscles awakened and
loose. Then I’ll head down to
the course and start watering;
it usually takes about an hour
to get the whole thing nice and
tacky. Next is to start riding. I
try not to start with too many
things to work on. I find if I just
have a couple of things in mind
to work on, whether they’re u
£ Nate’s 360 nacs are still
some of the steeziest
out there
