[@reggieoverton121]

McGrath will always be the GOAT/KING of Supercross. I really do miss 2 Strokes! If you want more just watch Steel Roots (1 & 2), Terrafirma 2, Showtime! Jeremy McGrath

[@dawsonwalker6033]

Reggie Overton I wasn’t alive for the 2 stroke days and I miss em, I wish I was born in the early 90s so I could’ve gotten the chance to watch all the Legends like McGrath, Carmichael, more of Reed (only seen him at the triple crown in Minneapolis) I was one generation off...

[@SumthinFishy]

Ricky will always be the goat.

[@td5387]

i heard that buddy i miss the days of 2 stroke indoor motocross where your ears and lungs are ruined hahahahaahahahah

[@swedish_sadhguru3854]

His Honda 250 1996 model would still be able to compete competitively today if it was allowed in AMA. Pretty cool.

[@TriptoCo]

He's always been such a class act. My brother and sister lived on his street in the mid- late 90's. All the kids in the neighborhood used to go over to his house and he was nothing but a true and real guy talking and hanging out with them. Good guy all around....

[@alondite215]

Brings to mind when Tomac went from ~20th to 1st at Salt Lake in 2016. Two of the best rides in the sport's history.

[@snoochieboochies6957]

“This is inexperience” Proceeds to win.

[@simonManleeeee]

Was lucky enough to see him ride once-awesome sight.

[@Lightning7474.]

The wrath of McGrath. I miss those days.

[@thirtythirty9054]

in this time, motorcross was a big thing. and a awesome hype-train was rolling around the world. great pictures

[@reedsfab3828]

All time best supercross rider for sure.

[@dawsonwalker6033]

McGrath is definitely the GOAT, i know I’m gonna get shit from the RC fans but how can you compete with 72 supercross total wins, 7 supercross champion ship titles and 2 world supercross championships? Easily my favorite racer and idol. I wasn’t alive for the golden era of motocross but I wish I was, I’m 15.

[@snowzZzZz]

Greatest Supercross rider for sure, although Ricky is better at outdoors from what I've seen. Stewart will be known as the fastest although somewhat to his detriment though as he had a tendency to defeat himself.

[@dawsonwalker6033]

BlackSn0wz yeah RC was better outdoors I’ll admit that, but for supercross McGrath is 150% the goat, and forsure Stewart is definitely one of the fastest but he couldn’t stay on the bike for the life of him, if he could’ve cut out more mistakes on race day then he might’ve had a shot at dethroning McGrath but that wasn’t the case.

[@forchristsgloryamen858]

If you remember, McGrath was a 1995 Outdoor Motocross champion as well! He was leading the Points in the 1996 outdoors and got injured do to a crash. (He would have won that year) He was also a 2 time Moto de Nations Winner. He Modified his contract and chose not to race out doors to spend more time at home. If Had he raced the outdoor series for more of his carrier I'm confident the he would have rack up several victories and possibly championships. Given the same opportunity to race/work half as much for the same pay, I may have done the same. MC was a great Champion.

[@danimartinez3060]

McGrath is the GOAT of supercross. Carmichael is the GOAT of Motocross. Simple.

[@tomhudson1757]

i know right; i'm also 15 and seeing all the old hype around jeramy McGrath and even the likes of James Stewart really does anger me aha...

[@EnduroAmerica]

Jeremy is, was and always will be the king of motocross. Such an inspiration to riders everywhere!

[@michaeldecarlo1502]

I had the mcgrath 91 peak/pro circuit cr 125 in 92 i have been kicking myself ever since i sold it seeing that video brings back so many great memories mcgrath has always been my idol and imo the best to ever get on a dirt bike! I have always been a honda fanatic and to have a white and blue cr back then just blew everyones mind man i miss that bike

[@buck_maize111]

Man supercross has come along way.. the racing looks alot slower back then

[@bradgriffith6234]

No other supercross rider not even close in terms of winning or style

[@MrDubs]

yo what about Ricky Carmichael?

[@theshobalt2029]

D-DUB more mx than sx

[@arsenal-slr9552]

Ricky might be the GOAT but McGrath will always be the KING

[@pronoob2857]

@@arsenal-slr9552 hahaha but reality he has no speed again ricky and bubba

[@firehawk8566]

Mcgrath = Supercross GOAT..... Carmichael = Outdoor Motocross GOAT

[@socaloutdoors7355]

"I dont sweat as much as other riders"... LOL...

[@jrandel93]

smooth, fast, smart, definitely the best supercross rider of all time..

[@williamstone6818]

I was at this race, incredible! I think he won every race that year. I was a 125 expert when he was an 80 novice, maybe 10 years old? He was racing out at Sandhill and had a box van with his picture on the side. I thought who is this kid? Who would have ever thought?

[@davidgonzales245]

I remember being there that night. One of the best nights of my childhood.

[@johnlopez4089]

Need more of these rewinds👍👍👍👍👍

[@utahdesertrider1806]

I was there. Was awesome to see. Favorite race of all time

[@valentinorossi7019]

Long live the King. Jeremy is a real special racer. He is good person. from 26th st. del mar. :)

[@kellienicolebrooksschettin6598]

Hey all of wonder how anyone gets or acquired their talent,but listening to Jack McGrath talk about Jeremy jumping antics when he was two or three wow that's an early start for a jumping career,most of when we 5 or 6 years old we couldn't focus on anything for long or consistently...the trouble talent the trick is to bring it out without fighting with the child's ego or self esteem so the kids wants to go forward,and yeah the talent has to be there too...it was cool to here the real story...thanks

[@Ottos_ScLm_Race_videos_2009_on]

Then he went to the 250's and became SHOWTIME with the knack - knack

[@ktmadvinside]

Jeremy is the goat Of motocross!!!

[@TheMyronStube]

Never gunna be another like him I miss the 3 legends of super cross but they took it off :(

[@JuiceOg0311]

The Goat

[@littlewolf947]

McGrath is the elvis Presley of supercross

[@dawsonwalker6033]

joe llanes McGrath is supercross

[@littlewolf947]

Dawson Walker yes sir he is..if it wasn't for him..supercross wouldn't be were it is now.

[@jamesrobert7155]

Did you ever play his first game on PS one? If you win a race using MC, it says "you're the King baby" in an Elvis voice!

[@TheTSVDude]

Will always be my favorite riders

[@aidaxx]

McGrath is the king

[@alexsaucedo8032]

He was definitely a good one. Very good. He was fun to watch.

[@cameronlund8704]

A good one? You mean the most successful ever? Lol

[@ericprows9949]

Sick video! Love McGrath

[@triple6758]

Coors Light and Camel sponsored. Like NASCAR, the golden era of Moto has passed.

[@ski874]

Da King of Supercross for sure. 13 consecutive wins in a row. I saw him lose to Jeff Emig in St. Louis to end the streak. To my knowledge no one has beat that yet?

[@MtnHound]

Ah, the McGrath/Norfolk days....good times.

[@Badass_Rooster]

Legend!!!!

[@THRASHED05]

Pure legend

[@duff194mx]

This is awesome

[@cloudstreets1396]

This guy was the Mick Doohan of supercross. Once he was in the lead the cameras didn’t even bother with him anymore.

[@ssrider7]

This was supercross,the 2 strokes

[@Raydio6]

I was there that night I was 9

[@RC-Heli835]

I use to record a lot those races aired on ESPN2 on VCR if I was lucky enough for them not to get bumped off by a car race or football game. I loved the McGrath days.

[@MtnHound]

Ha Ha, same here! I think I even still have some of the tapes stored away somewhere. I remember it being difficult to find when the next race was going to be on. Usually it was during the middle of the night.

[@forchristsgloryamen858]

McGrath was awesome! (I prefer announcers that actually ride and have raced moto. Just my opinion)

[@dutchklompen413]

Good old times, faded glory

[@dawsonwalker6033]

Kings never die

[@dutchklompen413]

Dawson Walker True Jeremy is Showtime!

[@pbau7769]

Was he that good or was there no other worthy rival at the time? Definitely the godfather of modern era racing style we see today..

[@maverick2242]

P Bau he was that good, is he the goat of SX, you can’t argue with the stats, but each gen has its goat, Hannah was the goat and if not injured who knows what he would have done, he won 3 in a row first in a time when they’re was no 125 stepping stone class, if u wanted to race SX in the 70s and early 80s up to 85 you had to go to the 250 class it was far more competitive than Jeremy’s era, Hannah also like JMac also changed the game and had Ricky Johnson not got injured in 89 again who knows both he and Hannah were as good outdoors as indoors. That said Jeremy won his first senior SX title as a rookie in the 250 class against the reigning champ Stanton who was a 3x champ Bradshaw at the time was the wonder kid so it was a pretty good start, he definitely was the best in the 90s no question and you can only race your competition not the past, 8 senior titles and 2 125 SX indoor titles is still worthy of greatness and he was King of his era.

[@pbau7769]

Maverick224, motocross is such a hard motorsport for the masses to lock on to as top riders leave the sport so quickly. McGrath's longevity brought a whole new fanbase as the casual observer now could associate an icon with the sport & more easily follow & cheer on. That is the one downfall to this great sport, our heros often exit in too short of time to become a household name. Everyone knows of McGrath if you mention motocross.

[@maverick2242]

P Bau yes and no, in part what you say is true, but also it was the next step of televised exposure esspecially SX,yes he brought a whole new gen into the sport he was a new gen, that’s part natural, part timing also ground work laid by others. This is depending on age, the issue I have with these debates and why you or others in comparing should know they’re history research it if a true fan even of someone else, if you have been around in Hannah’s first coming pre injury Yamaha days this is exactly what made Hannah one of the greatest, he brought the masses to both SX but esp MX in a time where Televised exposure was limited at best, look st the crowds then compared to 90s and esp now, massive, look at any Unadilla footage when he rode 70s and 80s, he earns his fans they loved him and he loved them, it was well known even though he didn’t drink, he stayed esp after a MX Rd long after the other stars left with the fans hung out with them, he brought MX and SX kicking and screaming into the 80s he earnt nick name Hurricane on and off the track, listen to any interview esp by others, people either don’t know or forget how big he was, it’s the same in many sports, that’s taken nothing away from McGrath you can only live in your era, he was great and aim love watching him even now, but today’s fans even 90s underestimate how big he Hannah was to SX/ esp MX back then, Media Television has clouded that exposure by easier access in later generations.

[@bremCZ]

P Bau He raced and beat a lot of big names, Jeff Emig, Ezra Lusk, Larry Ward, Kevin Windham, Damon Bradshaw, Mike LaRocco, David Vuillemin, Davey Hughes...

[@hits.productions]

Brem don’t forget Ricky Carmichael in 99 and 00’. Jeremy deff went up against some good players. He was absolutely the best of his time.

[@youribertrand4992]

McGrath Airline

[@dancujo5591]

Another name that you won't forget.

[@dustinscheller7795]

Damn it's come so far

[@keiannschyler]

MC was like Bubba in a track that is super easy.

[@disyokerr]

He was on Honda in that race?

[@desertbrewcrew1974]

I think what made supercross/motocross today is 3 things, Mcgrath, the seemingly deep talent of other riders Emig, Dowd, Mxkied and so many others, corporate sponsors with multimillion (deservedly) contracts and Big Beautiful Tractor trailors.

[@graysinclair6572]

Desert Brewcrew MXKied! #3 was my rider! Watched LaRocco and Kiedrowski blast past a crashed McGrath at the 1995 Atlanta Supercross and the place went wild. Our butts didn’t hit the seats again till the race was over! The energy was unbelievable in the Georgia Dome that night. 6 days later, a friend and I road tripped it down to Gainesville, Fl. For the opening round of the outdoor nationals and watched McGrath, Kiedrowski, Albertyn, and LaRocco put on a serious show at Gatorback Cycle Park. Good times. And two strokes ruled! Brraapp! Thanks for the comment.

[@desertbrewcrew1974]

Mxkied was my first favorite outdoor rider also. Was the year of Kawasaki battle of Mxkied vs Larocket?

[@brettwagner1852]

The king; Natural talent..... they didnt train much then

[@fz1000red]

This makes me feel old. I remember McGrath getting busted with the previous year's CR250 because he liked the way it performed so much. I believe it was in '95, the color scheme being the white chromemoly frame with neon pink and purple too. He sure looks young in this one and since he's riding a 125cc he probably was still a young champion.

[@gianluciano]

yes youre right, despite the disappointment of Honda's management, JMC continued to use his beloved '93 CR til '95 (included), changing just graphics and paint

[@SOLDOZER]

No. He rode the 93' from 93 to 96. He jumped ship when Honda came out with the aluminum frame in 97.

[@gianluciano]

absolutely not. He rode a CR '93 from 93 to 95. In 96 he was forced to ride the new model year frame (cromoly). In 97 Honda introduced the aluminum frame and Jeremy got arm pump "Like the first time i jumped from a BMX to a motorcycle". He flied to Japan and the Honda Management made him an offer without the permission to ride jet ski or other vehicle not-honda (Jeremy was previously caught riding Yamaha waterkrafts). Thus Jeremy did not sign up and after a while Roger De Coster phoned with an offer to sign with Suzuki

[@SOLDOZER]

Go look at his post on Ken Roczen's Instagram last week. HE SAID HE DID.

[@gianluciano]

go read his autobiography "Wide Open, a life in Supercross". It's all written there.

[@meetURfate]

Make one for James Stewart.

[@nailbanger489]

He was clean and that’s why he’ll always be truly the GOAT for me. Yea RC was great but if he didn’t have Chad Reed to use for a berm he wouldn’t have half the wins he has.

[@archery30x]

It might be the cameras but it looks like there going slow

[@6henny443]

Dude turns on a dime
