MCADOO
We’ll see newly signed Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki teammates Cameron McAdoo and Jordon Smith compete against each other plenty of times in 2020. Even if they race opposite coasts in supercross, they’ll get plenty of gate drops together in Lucas Oil Pro Motocross. But why wait that long? Let’s pull the pin early and see what happens when they go head-to-head in this month’s 2 Tribes.

Thing you’ll miss most about your old team?
CM: The people within the crew of the team.
JS: Talking crap with TK [Tyler Keefe] and the mechanics when I got to the races every weekend.

Thing you’re looking forward to most about your new team?
CM: Working toward and achieving new goals together.
JS: Getting to work with a guy like Mitch [Payton]. I can’t wait to learn from him and see where we can get working together.

Funniest travel story?
CM: Driving to Oklahoma to ride one winter, my friend’s dad accidentally left him at the gas station, and we didn’t realize it until like five minutes down the road and he had no service.

JS: One time I was driving to the Daytona Supercross and was going to pick up my buddy from the airport. He told me he landed and I was like, “Okay, you did fly to Daytona, right?” just because it’s something he would do to fly to Orlando or another close airport and not tell me. He sends me his location through Messages and it says he’s like 1,200 miles away or something crazy. He flew to Dayton, Ohio.

Most ridiculous person in the pits?
CM: The snow-cone guy.
JS: Seven-deuce-deuce, Adam Enticknap! That guy is a trip and makes everyone laugh every time they talk to him.

Most common bike part you break?
CM: I’m not really sure.
JS: Every time my mechanic puts on a new set of grips, it never fails for me to slide out in a turn and rip the end of it off.

Favorite person in the pits?
CM: Doc G.
JS: Troy Lee after his team wins. It’s a party like you’ve never seen.

Most useless item in your gear bag?
CM: Spare buckles for my boots.
JS: There’s nothing useless in there. With so much traveling and packing everything I can into my bag, you have to get rid of anything you don’t need.

I’m not much of a fighter. Kill them with kindness!” —CM

GETTING PERSONAL

Favorite obstacle?

Whose ass would you like to kick?
CM: I’m not much of a fighter. Kill them with kindness!

Favorite mistake?
CM: No mistakes are fun to make.
JS: Accidentally sharing a picture of me on my new Kawasaki into the shared iCloud photo album with everyone from TLD last year!

Talent you wish you had?
CM: Basketball. I suck.

One sport you would never try?

Favorite sport other than MX?
CM: Formula 1.
JS: Golf, for sure.

Best nickname in motocross?
CM: Bubbalicious.
JS: I mean, I think when everyone called James Stewart “Bubba,” that was pretty cool, especially when the Bubba Scrub became popular.

What does racing need more of?
CM: Mainstream media and sponsors.
JS: More battles. That’s what we live for, right?

PLAYING FAVORITES

Hidden Talent?

JS: I can ride a unicycle, and that’s about all I’ve got.

Best way to waste a day?
CM: Going fishing.
JS: At the golf course.

Accidentally sharing a picture of me on my new Kawasaki into the shared iCloud photo album with everyone from TLD last year!” —JS

Favorite non-motocross Website?

If you found $1,000 on the street and had to spend it, what would you do with it?
