CHAPTER 422 Ft. Jeremy McGrath

The King of Supercross is back for round two. Jeremy McGrath won 72 supercross main events, 15 more than Eli Tomac and 24 more than Ricky Carmichael, and nobody has got near that standard since. This one is three hours on how it actually ended for him, what he would do differently, and what he sees when he watches the current field.

Jeremy McGrath is a seven time supercross champion with more main event wins than anyone in the history of the sport. In Chapter 422 he sits down with Jase Macalpine to go through the Yamaha offer that cut his salary in half, the KTM that was never ready and made the decision for him, the two fourth places that finally let him stop, and why he is in the gym five mornings a week at 54.

JEREMY EXPLAINS:
◼ The Yamaha offer that halved his salary after he won them three titles
◼ Signing with KTM, a bike that was not ready, and telling Larry he was done tomorrow
◼ The two fourth places behind Carmichael, Stewart and Reed that let him walk away at peace
◼ What he would tell Eli Tomac about the first year out
◼ Why Haiden Deegan should sit behind someone for a whole race and copy him
◼ The same front end crash Chase Sexton keeps having, on every brand
◼ Twenty years of Monster, and the Hansen's sticker on his forks in 98
◼ How he squashed twenty years of beef with Jeff Emig
◼ A hip, a knee, and the ankle he is getting looked at next week
