About Fast Forward Racing Productions:
"Hi, my name is Zach and I'm a bike-a-holic."
I started Fast Forward Racing Productions in 2008 as a sole proprietorship so that I could keep putting on bike races, camps, and other events. I was starting to put on too many events to consider this a "hobby". I've been promoting races since 2006, but it's been my full time endeavor since 2008. I try to produce quality events that I'd want to race. I'm always trying to come up with new ideas and make them successful, because this is what I like to do. The company includes events, several athlete services, team management, consulting, and my own racing, but I'll try anything to spice up the day. I also work as an independent contractor for other races.
About me:
Name: Zachary Adams
Job Description: Owner/Operator/Addict
My job entails a diverse string of tasks, including but not limited to creative design, public relations, risk management, course designer, product designer, coach, curriculum development, executive director, instruction, team director, sponsorship liason, and small contracting, whatever it takes to make it happen.
I grew up not really knowing about cycling....I was a pretty unhealthy child all through my youth until I found cycling, specifically racing, in 2003. I jumped in head first and haven't looked back. I owe many things in my life to cycling and am lucky to have found such a deep passion. I've learned some pretty helpful skill sets along the way including working construction and going through culinary school. I chased a spot on the worlds team for 4 years and came pretty close, but am still chasing my dreams as a cat 1 mountain biker and elite cyclocrosser. I tackle my job from a racers perspective, because that's what I do: I race. I'm a level 3 USA cycling coach, working on my level 2 certification, and have been coaching athletes since 2007.
