Hailing from Jindabyne NSW, Adam Dickson started snowboard cross in 2013 after seeing some friends competing in the sport. Three years later he made his World Cup debut at the Olympic Test Event in Bokwang, Korea where he placed 20th.
After narrowly missing out on qualification for the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympic Games, Adam recorded a Personal-Best 12th place at the La Molina World Cup in March 2018.
The 25-year-old had a breakthrough during the 2019-20 World Cup tour, recording his first World Cup podium with a bronze in Switzerland. The following season Adam finished eighth at the World Cup in Bakuriani, Georgia and ended the season ranked 25th in the world.
On his Olympic debut at Beijing 2022 he put down a top 15 fastest time in seeding which sent Adam directly to the 1/8 finals. A supreme effort in the 1/8 final was not enough to advance to the quarter-finals.
