Video: All The Episodes from Season 2 of The Privateer

Adam had another crack at the whip in 2019, returning as the Pinkbike Privateer. In this season, he heads to Lousa, Portugal, for the Fox Suspension testing camp, learns from professionals Yoann Barelli, Kirt Voreis, Bryn Atkinson and Remy Metailler, and races the Sea Otter Classic and the two North American Enduro World Series races. Here's the entire season for your binge-watching pleasure.



It was a long off season for Adam. After breaking his hand in Finale last year, he spent the next few months rehabbing it back to riding strength. Once Adam's hand healed it was game on, and even though PNW winters aren't the most ideal time to be on the bike, he made the most of it by getting out on rides and hitting the gym regularly.

In this episode, Adam heads out on a classic winter ride with Yoann Barelli and then visits the gym with his trainer, Todd Schumlick, for baseline fitness testing. This is Adam's make or break year. With his training program and support turned up to 11, can he break into the pro ranks? We're about to find out.
