Adam Cianciarulo gladly accepted our invitation to ride in our December 5 release, Premix 2. The challenge in the equation, though, was finding a bike for him to ride. Thankfully, Mitch Payton has a few of his Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki KX125s from back in the day stored away for posterity, and he agreed to let Adam rip around on the same bike that former team rider Ivan Tedesco had raced a few months earlier at the Washougal National Two-Stroke Challenge.

AC took to the one-two-five immediately as he circled Cahuilla Creek MX, and within a few corners, he was making the green tiddler sing non-stop. We strapped a GoPro Hero5 Black on AC’s chest to document the beautiful-sounding laps, and this, friends, is the footage that was not used in the movie.
