“I want to be the first stunt rider to finish the Dakar Rally”
RIDER FACTS
- Taking risks on a motorbike is Adam’s job, for the love of the show, the adrenalin and the emotions he gives to the public. He's a professional stuntman, an activity he does both as a sportsman (stunt competitions) and as a movie performer. Yes: you might have seen him doing motorbike tricks the last time you went to the cinema!
- His stunt career began in 2005, when he was 17, and he joined his first team in 2009. Five years later, Adam quit his job to devote himself entirely to motorcycling, chasing his demanding, dangerous but amazing and spectacular dreams. He has become one of the best stunt riders of his generation, winning international competitions and doing exhibitions all over the world. “My greatest success is not the titles I've won, but the fact that I've travelled thanks to motorcycling.”
- He’s been off-roading for almost eight years but had never competed until last summer. Moved by the Dakar dream and the aim to prove that anything is possible, Adam began to work on this project from 2022 onwards. A long journey that led him to a first enduro race in August 2024, then the Rallye du Maroc. A good first experience in rally raid (34th place) that opened him the Dakar door.
- Adam isn't just a fantastic showman: he's also a great bike instructor, teaching people how to ride on a track (and also how to do wheelies!). He is surrounded by passionate people like him, and some of them will be with him in January. His two mechanics are also stunt drivers (“I could give them my life”), and the whole crew will be wearing the prestigious Fesh Fesh Team colours.
2025 AMBITION
A.P.: “My job is to shock people, to do things that make them say ‘wow’. I wanted to do something really big, impactful. I want to be the first professional stunt rider to finish the Dakar Rally. It’s the biggest off-road event, you need to be a survivor, to have physical preparation, mechanical knowledge and riding skills, everything together! I want to show people that they don’t have to be scary but to be brave, to believe in themselves. Everyone can be better than yesterday. Dakar is a big adventure and people ask themselves: ‘is it too hard? Am I able to do it?’ I want to show that if you really want, you can do it. So, my goal is to finish, and it would be absolutely successful to be into the Top 50. I have a full respect for these riders who train so hard, and with my low experience, you must respect the race. Navigation is the most difficult part, it’s about finding the best combination between looking to the road and to your roadbook. It’s super hard to find the good balance!”
