What inspires you to compete?
I find the challenge of competition inspiring. When racing, I always take something away from the experience, whether it be learning from a mistake I made or a big trophy for a great win. I find competing gives you the experience and knowledge you need to be a great competitor.
Why do you like this sport?
My mom says I have been "hyper" since birth,so I have a lot of energy. I love to go fast and I love things that are physical and challenging. Motocross gives me the release I need. It takes concentration, focus and discipline to ride and this really helps me alot. I have alot of fun riding and competing. We get to travel and meet new people during race season. It`s a great sport to do and I have a blast doing it.
Some Personal Information About Me:
My name is Nicolas Kai Adams. I am 7 years old and live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I am in the first grade. I like playing soccer, fishing, swimming, and camping. I am in gymnastics and KungFu. I have already earned my yellow belt at my school, Shifu Liu`s Institute of Shaolin KungFu. I mastered the back hand spring after my 1st class of gymnastics and am working on a back flip now. I love spending time with my family and friends. And of course I love riding my dirtbike.
Do you train? What does your schedule look like?
I train and practice anywhere from 3-6 days a week. If there is a race upcomming I will practice daily 2 weeks prior to that event. I have a practice track at my house so after school and after homework I go out and practice for at least an hour and a half. On the weekends we go out to the local track to train. This gives me the time to strengthen my skills in competiton.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
A professional motocross competitor. I love racing motocross and what better way to earn a living than doing something you love. Hopefully this will work out for me, if not, my mom says there is always medical school.
