After more than 20 runs against the best riders in the world, I was exhausted, but what a day!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Not only is Adrien blisteringly fast on the track, he&#8217;s also a role model who has helped build pump tracks around the world, creating more places to ride for the next generation of riders.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC_0260.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-123186\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC_0260-750x499.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0260\" width=\"750\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC_0260-750x499.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.mtb-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/DSC_0260-1600x1065.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Building is very special to me.

It&#8217;s something riders can enjoy for a long time. When you see people riding your track and smiling, it&#8217;s a unique and enriching experience. I love it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Always a threat to win the Crankworx Pump Track and Dual Speed &amp; Style events, Adrien has also had strong finishes in the downhill finishing 8<sup>th<\/sup> last season in Whistler.
