@@Ticncae Yeah, from a 16y/o talented bmx kid having fun with his friends to a drift/car empire! ... i subbed for nostalgic reasons (ex-skateboarder), he had hardly 80k subs, im so glad i stuck around for the ride ^^ couldnt be more proud when he bought the compound ^^
Damn dawg, I teared up watching this. And not because Adam's been working so diligently towards this type of feat, but because his friends and teammates' reactions. Shows how loyal of a crew Adam has. Love this shit!
If that made you tear up you should have seen how happy João’s team got for him making it to the great 8. Now someone was cutting onions while we were watching that celebration
Lead run entry against James, had me running around my living room with excitement! Holy crap dude… just badass. Super proud even as a viewer man, insane!!!
man that backwards entry had me hopping with a smile from ear to ear in my living room smiled the entire video and how his team cheered him on after every run
I just started watching him and his content is such high effort and thoughtful. Kudos to Adam for finding as many friends and team members that believe in him. It’s beautiful when the effort of so many comes together at such a high level.
So happy. From “how to” to getting sponsored by Stranger, to owning sick cars and meeting amazing people, joining RTR and now getting a dub in ETOWN! I’m so proud of you Adam!
Dude I couldn't believe how incredibly balls out you were the entire round - and how consistent you were with pure nastiness on OZ1 and your crazy flicks on OZ2 and OZ3. Seriously - that shit was absolutely wild. Congrats, man!!!
The final run 43:20 was insane holy cow 💪 everything was on point and you just went all out and very glad you got 1st. Hard work pays off keep it pushing.
Man I remember watching your first drifts.. Crazy how time flies by, this felt so deserved. Was Grinning ear to ear the entire way through. Congrats, what a journey, what a drive!
What a vibe! Congrats Adam and team. You went balls out from that first practice session, adapting and overcoming adversity. Fantastic to see all your hard work finally come together and pay off! What a win! Here's to many, many more, Mr LZ!
Huge congrats to adam and RTR. Such a good combination, vaughn definitely knew what he was doing signing adam. You're such an inspiration man. Dont stop
Real life felt like a childhood dream watching this after being a subscriber for YEARS since the heavy BMX days. Me and all the boys were so stoked for this win and been rooting for you for the longest. Congrats Adam and the rest of the team. This is ONE big accomplishment after YEARS of work so happy for you LZ
Congrats! By far the most intense drift comp I've ever watched! You had that Mustang on kill the whole night. I'm still hoarse from screaming and cheering. My neighbors actually called me to see if I was ok! I'm so happy for you, because I've watched how much hard work you've put in over the years. It 's awesome to finally see it pay off with not only a podium, but an event win!!
This guy has come so damn far. Woodward tours to this. It's crazy the success you've achieved over the time I've been watching your videos. Keep it up man. We all love you
You absolutely earned it fair and square! No protest against you the whole night and won the event with awesome support from your fans! I was able to witness this with my eyes and saw your progression within this sport!
Its insane how proud and excited I am for Adam after watching this video. We were born 11 days apart, 700 miles away from each other. I've never met him, but I am so proud/excited for him like we grew up together. 6 or 7 years watching someone online and you start to feel like you know them personally.
Nothing can describe my happiness for you man. I got hooked onto your FD content the first year you brought out the S15 right after SEMA, and I’m still hooked 5 years after your debut. Huge props to you and thank you for delivering for your fans. Much love and keep that momentum up in St. Louis.
adam, from watching you teach me how to ride a bike to seeing you win your first ever formula drift event feels unreal, much love to you and everyone involved
The last 30mins are just pure excitement!!! Now Dean has to win 1st place. Which he will I believe it him as much as I did toward you. Great job brother!
I started watching Adam at like 12 riding bmx like a champ now I’m 22 watching him win drift events What a journey, keep up the good work I’m up for it
It's been a long time coming, I've been watching since the bmx days, it's amazing seeing you finally get a win in fd you deserve it and you especially deserve it for your performance this time. You absolutely killed it!
So freaking proud of you man!!! You have an amazing group around you as well. To see them genuinely that excited for you run after run had me smiling ear to ear. Keep it up bro! Many more of them W's to come...
I can't even fathom that I started watching your channel for BMX content and now your first win in Formula Drift. Keep up the great work and can't wait to see what you bring to the table next.
man, adam I am so freaking pumped for your win dude. You were throwing bangers the whole comp. watching the in car footage too against james was more nuts than the live feed over the weekend. That was huge. your team in the video seems to put great vibes the whole time too which def helps and that was great to see too. and thanks for being a huge inspiration. congrats again dude!
I never understood the hate towards him in particular. He seems like the most chill/humble guy that just does what he loves. The younger fanbase can get annoying on the internet sometimes, but you can’t hate a guy because of some of his fans.
People who are mostly jealous of him being in FD are ignorant. They have this perception of Adam being given the privilege of being in FD is due to the TH-cam following. In other words he is a talentless driver and didn't give him time to prove himself. Expected to be in podium positions in his early days lol. I think another aspect is that he is living everyone's dream who's following FD and feels intimidated, so toxic human nature is to be jealous rather than supportive.
Teared up a little watching this. Awesome to see your progress from being a bmx college kid that does cars on the side to being an FD round champion. So people people there supporting you. Keep it up man and congrats!!
People always underestimated your skill, it all just needed to come together. Such a well deserved and exciting win! Thank you for sharing so much with us, and good luck in St Louis!!!
I think the attitude Adam had coming in is what made the difference. He seemed to feel like it was *his* track, and then he also had a bit of experience to back it up too. Didn't sweat the clutch issues. Now just start making the other tracks his own and the wins will get more frequent.
Man, been watching since the days you’ve been riding BMX, I knew you could do it. You had all the potential, very proud of you and you deserve to celebrate with this win! Congrats!
I know I’m a day late but HOLY SHIT CONGRATS ADAM!!!!! This is a first of many!!! And I know I’m speaking for a lot of us here we can’t wait to see more! Good job bringing home the win!
We’ll done Adam, I remember watching you ride BMX years ago and wishing to be you now you have followed my other passion of drifting and you are outstanding at it. Everyone is super proud of you and congratulations 🎉
From watching you break BMX bars in your drive way, to the webisodes to the cars and FD you have come a long long way! Myself and 3.7 million other people are super proud of you man!
Freakin Rockstar, man! Proud of the hard work you and the rest of the RTR team are putting in. This round of Formula D is so damn exciting this year. Congrats!
HUGE CONGRATULATIONS ADAM !!!! 💪💪💪

To see you go from buying an S13 that you struggled to do a donut in to winning FD is absolutely insane and inspiring
From bmx to formula drift champion is insane lol I used to look up to him for bmx and now for being a badass behind the wheel
@Ticncae dude I was thinking the same thing
@Ticncae do you remember him learning foot jam whips in 2014 lol now our boy has one of the biggest jdm car collections on TH-cam

and the smug face after the run was the icing on the cake
man that backwards entry had me hopping with a smile from ear to ear in my living room smiled the entire video and how his team cheered him on after every run

I fucking cryed dude. I have been following this kid for 10+ years. Whatever he set his head at, he accomplish. Super proud
Same. Been watching him for 10+ years. Was super excited for him all the way through.
Also same here, he was dominating kk but watching him win an fd event was next level. With one win I know he's gonna be gunning for more!!!
I just started watching him and his content is such high effort and thoughtful. Kudos to Adam for finding as many friends and team members that believe in him. It’s beautiful when the effort of so many comes together at such a high level.
Same bro same😊
Same some tears came out too
Adam got me laughing out loud when he did that gangster backie to James, no one expected that!
Loved it, doing a backie on the king of backies.
Welp now I'm
Expecting it...
Legendary
It was sick af, glad he won, but did chelsea not get an incomplete at Atlanta for the exact same thing?
@@yerboibillnye Only if it can't be chased, Adam's was surprisingly chase able if Deane didn't overcook it.

Everyone will remember this event because this was your first win and you really put on a hell of a show. Congratz Adam, well deserved!
HUGE shoutout to Mike for filming and producing an hour long video of this experience.
You gotta think about it, that means there's been this much footage for every single round.
@@StreamwoodExplorer and imagine how long the uncut version is
Dude I couldn't believe how incredibly balls out you were the entire round - and how consistent you were with pure nastiness on OZ1 and your crazy flicks on OZ2 and OZ3. Seriously - that shit was absolutely wild. Congrats, man!!!
That entry in his lead against James might have been the nastiest flick I've ever seen in FD
@@JoebobinatorThats a Hot take
@@XwSScout wording...that he has seen
this track has gotta be his homefield. he even held the lz invitational here.
Awesome work Adam, best feeling in the world! Congrats again 🙌
I literally screamed when he won, dudes come so far, those entries were insane, well deserved adam, well deserved
From Vaughn Knowing that Adam had this kind potential in him when he 1st signed him on with RTR to all of the LZMFG fans and team a big congrats!!!
Damn near shed a tear watching this one. Been a long journey for you and fans and it feels DAMN GOOD!!!!!
You actually finally looked comfortable and to be having genuine fun in the car this weekend. It showed and payed off. Congrats.
I cried when I seen this, watching since I was 15, 10 years ago. To winning formula drift was incredible. Congrats Adam, well deserved.
Its mind blowing. seeing how far he's come. this just tops the cake. 🎉

I think the attitude Adam had coming in is what made the difference. He seemed to feel like it was *his* track, and then he also had a bit of experience to back it up too. Didn't sweat the clutch issues.
Now just start making the other tracks his own and the wins will get more frequent.
