Personal

A 12-time national champion in various disciplines of competitive cycling, Adam Craig is one of the more recognizable names on the off-road cycling circuit. Born in Bangor, Maine, the adventure-seeking mountain biker now calls Bend, Ore., his home and is an outdoor and adventure sports enthusiast. After graduating from Dexter Regional High School in 1999 where he competed in track and field, alpine and Nordic skiing and soccer, Adam became serious about mountain biking after riding his bike in the woods near his home.

Off the bike, Adam spends his free time participating in various extreme outdoor activities, including whitewater kayaking, backcountry and Nordic skiing and rally car racing. As a rally car racer, Adam serves as the co-driver of a two-man team, flipping through a manual, deciphering instructions that explain what's around each blind corner and relaying them to the driver. According to Adam, he's on his bike seven days a week unless he's off on an epic kayaking or ski trip.

As a mountain biker, Adam has steadily progressed through the Olympic style cross country ranks. After winning three consecutive U23 national titles (2001-03), he visited the podium at the elite national championships three times before finally winning a Stars-and-Stripes jersey at Mount Snow, Vermont, in 2007 - a performance he equates to earning a podium at a World Cup race. On the national circuit, Adam also competes in the super-downhill and single speed categories of mountain biking, as well as cyclo-cross.

Point of Interest

In 2007, Adam won the Single Speed Mountain Bike World Championships in Aviemore, Scotland. The event isn't recognized by the international federation, so instead of a rainbow jersey and a gold medal, Adam received the customary winner's prize...a commemorative tattoo.
Adam and fellow mountain bike pro Carl Decker won the 2007 overall two-wheel drive Northwest Region Championship in rally car racing. The two hope to compete in the Summer X Games which added the event in 2006.]]> http://c0179261.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/714162_pgwg4sGHDB7q4BLi79Zb_m.png http://www.cyclingdirt.org/rss/speaker/3061-Adam-Craig en-us Sat, 26 May 2012 14:37:41 GMT Sat, 26 May 2012 14:37:41 GMT http://www.cyclingdirt.org/coverage/248728-The-Dirt-2012/video/636362-2012-London-Olympic-Mountain-Bike-Team-Announced-USA-Canada Wed, 23 May 2012 13:19:00 CDT http://www.cyclingdirt.org/coverage/248728-The-Dirt-2012/video/636362-2012-London-Olympic-Mountain-Bike-Team-Announced-USA-Canada http://www.cyclingdirt.org/coverage/248728-The-Dirt-2012/video/634032-Race-Promoter-Under-Arrest-Olympic-Watch-And-The-Mighty-Cheeseheads-The-Dirt-Ep-5 Thu, 10 May 2012 13:35:00 CDT http://www.cyclingdirt.org/coverage/248728-The-Dirt-2012/video/634032-Race-Promoter-Under-Arrest-Olympic-Watch-And-The-Mighty-Cheeseheads-The-Dirt-Ep-5 http://www.cyclingdirt.org/coverage/248728-The-Dirt-2012/video/632814-Sexy-Time-Whiskey-50-And-The-2000-Tire-The-Dirt-Ep-4 Wed, 02 May 2012 08:38:00 CDT http://www.cyclingdirt.org/coverage/248728-The-Dirt-2012/video/632814-Sexy-Time-Whiskey-50-And-The-2000-Tire-The-Dirt-Ep-4 http://www.cyclingdirt.org/speaker/3061-Adam-Craig/video/627216-Adam-Craig-Pin-It-Win-It-By-Jake-Orness Sat, 07 Apr 2012 09:17:00 CDT http://www.cyclingdirt.org/speaker/3061-Adam-Craig/video/627216-Adam-Craig-Pin-It-Win-It-By-Jake-Orness http://www.cyclingdirt.org/coverage/248439-2012-Absa-Cape-Epic-Stage-Race/video/624248-Stage-3-Highlights-2012-Absa-Cape-Epic
