Re: A.C. Farias Retirement Thread

This truly upsets me. I look up to Ac's style and just his all round personality, i met him 2 years ago at stunt wars. i dont think i ever met a more down to earth guy, i had never met him before then and he just sat down and started talking to me and my friends.

Heal up AC.

Re: A.C. Farias Retirement Thread

Wow, I'm just hearing this for the first time and I literally have a tear in my eye. I can't imagine AC not on a bike making turns.. I was a fan of his long before I ever really got into stunting and I got into this stuff about 8 years ago. Back when Drew Stone went over there for the first time I remember him calling me from Spain excited as hell to tell me that he had a present to bring back for me. When I finally got it, it was an AC Farias shirt. He knew I was a huge fan and loved the shirt. Meeting him and hanging out with him are some of my favorite memories of this "lifestyle". I certainly hope he'll still come to some events here and there and hang out.

One of the greatest nights ever was the night me, AC, Emrock, and Sanjeev tore up Lakeland together. Going bar to bar in the UpOnOne Mobile.

Re: A.C. Farias Retirement Thread

Sorry some thing so good came to an abrupt end for you. But things like this bring us all together and make us stronger and REALLY makes us relize that in this sport we are risking the lives of ourselfes and others. And actually gives you other dreams that you can master. Get well.....

One of your big fans,

FU Boyz

When I first started learning about this sport, his is one of the names that I heard over and over. I'd heard for about a year that he was everyone's hero before I ever got to meet him, and I could see why immediately.

He's a great person, and his riding is world class. he could have gotten on any bike he wanted, done anything he wanted, and taken it to the podium. I love it that he chose stunting. The tricks the top pros are doing now are the most technically challenging things you can do on a superbike.

AC was the best for a long time. It's sad to see someone so talented retire, but I am sure he will do more great things. He's one of those people with greatness in his nature. He has a lot to be proud of. JMO.

anyhow, feel better AC

Re: A.C. Farias Retirement Thread

**** man... I knew he was hurt, but I didn't know the extint of the damage done to that leg.

If you got a flag up, no matter what the nation. that **** should be lowered to half staff right now.... for our godfather. Truly an unfortunate event and a sad time.

Heal up AC! I pray that you come out of this as close to normal as when you started!

Best regards!

I was hoping Teach wasn't going to post this. 2008 has been a shitty year for a lot of people.

Heal up AC. I liked watching you trick fools into putting your bike together. Haha
