If they someone made a film about you who would you like to play the roll of Adam Brayton? This is a hard one, I think in a ideal world it would be a combination of a few people, Tom Cruise for his head, Arnold for his arms, Stallone for his body and for his legs well… there’s only one man for the job its got to be Dan “cheese string” Sowerby what a good looking beast! Although it would be easier to use Martin Cork
If your bike could talk what would it say? He’s hooking. He’s hooking. He’s hooking! Damn Showtime! Come On.
Where will we see you next year? I’m going to focus on all the British series, NPS, SDA and National Champs I’m so focused on getting a title next season and also I will compete in the full World Cup Series.
What are your plans for next season? I have a few plans at the moment, I just need to work on tying them all together. I’m really excited about the products I will use next season, they have given me so much motivation!
Injuries, how many and what’s your worst? I think I’ve been quite lucky so far just at the moment things aren’t too good! Broken Collar bone, Broken Leg, Broken Wrist, Internal Bleeding and Ligament damage in my knee.
Tell us more about your recent knee surgery: Well I completely tore my ACL ligament back in July 2007 from that day onwards I never rode a bike the same way. I had surgery last Friday which was a complete success and I’m now on the long road to recovery. That’s why I’m so motivated for next season I’m going to be back to full fitness and I can prove once again what I’m capable of! If people think I’m fast now they better look out!
What have you learned so far in your career? Everything happens for a reason!
