- This is a Compilation of all of Jeremy McGrath's highlights from his time at team Honda! What an era it was when McGrath was at Honda. He was Super talented, fast, in shape, had the team, and the look, which made him an icon. In my opinion we haven't had another Superstar of Motocross like Jeremy McGrath. Jeremy set the world of motocross on fire with all his successes, 7 Championships and 72 race wins just at his time on Honda alone. Starting on Mitch Paytons Peak Honda Team in 1991 and 1992, then factory Honda 1993 - 1996. 6 Supercross Championships and 1 Pro Motocross Championship. I grew up watching the Terrafirma's and their was know one cooler than Jeremy McGrath. With everything going on in the world right now it makes you wish you could go back to these days, Luckily we have the memories. Other featured riders in this video are Jeff Stanton, Mike LaRocco, Jeff Emig, Mike Kiedrowski, Larry Ward, Michael Craig, Steve Lamson, Ryan Hughes, and many more. Dont miss the action, This is Jeremy McGrath's Honda Era Highlights #JeremyMcGrath #Supercross #Motocross

when Jeremy pulls off the track at Washougal, I'm the cat with the white LE shirt on black hat, I was mechanic for Pat Gomm a Nor Cal pro at the time. good times, thank you for putting all these clips together.
I'll never forget those days getting to meet him at LORETTA LYNN'S in 91 when he rode for TEAM PEAK HONDA and he will always be my favorite rider I still have pictures and autographs from 92-2015 from Atlanta Supercross he was always a True King on and off the Bike
1998 my brother was dying from cancer MC gave him his jersey off his back at Michigan Superdome MC is the greatest!
Hopefully people can appreciate the work that goes into a video like this 👏👏👏
Much appreciated, more to come!
I do.
@@wd840mxhighlights FYI trivia: The rational of how WD40 got it's name is because it was the 40th formula that was finalized for sale. "Water Displacement #40"
Trivia # 2. The Husky logo mimics shooting a rifle with open sights, as their first product of manufacture were guns. Those 3 vertical short lines on top of the logo are the rear and front open sights, as you would see them by aiming the gun.
Happy 50th birthday The King of Supercross!
That 93-94 honda...the holy grail of motorcycle perfection...most beautiful thing I've ever seen !!!
This video is so well edited, so well done. Thank you!
Jeremy McGrath was an absolute force of nature. His career had a momentum that had never been seen before. To me, McGrath seemed like he figured out the “solution” to Supercross, as though he knew something that no one else did. He was a mediocre amateur, you could see nothing special coming. But something very special came indeed! The entirety of his dominance in the sport is hard to comprehend today. This video really portrays just how remarkable an athlete he was.
Much appreciated!
Congradulations Jeremy McGrath 72 WINS 7 TIME CHAMPION AWESOME LEGENDARY RACER YOU ARE THE MAN ONE OF THE GREATEST LEGACY IN PROFESSIONAL AMA RACING HISTORY
Troy Stoll😊
He's a legend. Period. Honda sucks tho! #KTK4life
Simplemente... ESPECTACULAR!!! MUCHAS GRACIAS
Jeremy is one of the most down to earth dudes I've ever idolized and ridden with.
Feels like yesterday seeing McGrath at Perris Raceway on a 125 with no crowds and being able to walk right by him and give him a wave :)
Imagine if MC rode good tracks like we have today…he was so smooth back in the day
Great point! With his precision he would have probably been even better! Folks today either don’t realize or have forgotten just how damn good he was! He could work traffic better than anybody and he lived for the night show! Mitch Payton said Jeremy was like a race horse waiting in the gate
Imagine what? When everybody has the tracks wired, (because they are all basically the same stuff since the FIM took over the racing in the USA), I know exactly what would have happened. McGrath would have won a lot less races than 72 wins. We will see somebody win still, but we will never see that greatness again---because the tracks are designed to keep everybody the same speed. The philosophy that the FIM imposed on our tracks actually comes from communism, where nobody is suppose to do better than their neighbors,-everybody equal. That--is what kills individual achieving greatness, and that si why we get smoked at the MXofN, (If we ever see that race again). Go get into road racing. Throwing dirt on a road race course is not MX/SX. It is just a fast average. Jeremy would have been luck to win 30 races in his career on these smooth, easy (fro these guys), tracks today. That is why they are all the same speed. We would be about the same speed on xr75's around my driveway too, because we have enough skill to get it wired,---even if we are drinking beer.
man jeremy and his first honda were a thing of beauty to watch. guy never even got out of breath. His yami days were pretty cool too.
Man this video is awesome. Pretty obvious a lot of hard work went into this. Very much appreciated!! A+!!
Lots of time and effort! Much appreciated.
MC would be proud of this video.
Excellent video! Great tribute to MC
Thanks for the upload. I can rem waiting for every weekend to see if he could keep the streak going. What a great time for racing and when I met him in person If you didn't know who he was you would never have known he was as famous as he was. He was so humble and just hung out with me and my brother in law like we were friends for years. Very cool.
Great job! Thanks a lot for these video.
Much appreciated, much more to come!
I thought McGrath was super human back then when I was a kid. I couldn't understand how he could be that much better than everyone else.
Same here. He was on another level like we never seen since. It also reminds me of how Michael Schumacher was around that time in F1.
Thank you !
Thanks For Sharing...M.C ...Showtime
Thankyou for this!
No problem, more to come!
Great video of the King of Supercross! Jeremy McGrath. The myth. The legend. -Michigan #KTM #F150Raptor
Jeremy the king 👏👏👏👏👏
MC with his hand around the interview girl he was the best to do it!!!
This was my Motocross/Supercross era of amazing memories. Jeremy McGrath is Motocross King especially when he was with Honda in my opinion. Awesome video and all the great highlights, still dig watching McGrath & Emig battles. THANK YOU for posting this video! 👊
#JeremyMcGrath
The best ever Supercross rider.only Rick Johnson had he not got hurt in his prime might have been up to rivaling him.he beat the best of the best an embraced them I never had respect for Jim till he won the 95 outdoor title.i wish he would have put more effort into his outdoor effort thru his whole career been interesting to see how many outdoor title's he coulsa had cause he was dam good an certainly coulda won more outdoor titels
Ricky Won every season he was healthy for against significantly tougher competition look at Ricky’s perfect seasons and rethink that comment.
Incredible compilations, can't imagine how long it takes to make these vids
I appreciate it and yeah they can take some time lol.
His arm around that tv-woman… 😂
1996 was his best year for SX.
I made up a saying that I think is true for the last 4 generations, 120 years, at least:
"We are all born into the USA today, not having a clue how great she was yesterday."
Evidently you have not seen many great years of the sport, before you knew what it was.
But if you were to say, "There will never be as good of a SX series as 1996.", I would probably agree with that.
What we will never see again, is one or two guys who are absolutely great. Because tracks that keep us all the same speed only caters to a fast average.
Some say they like to see 10 guys all taking turns winning, (which can only happen if the tracks are not challenging enough), but what good is that? I got into this sport because I love to see an individual dominate,---so we can all get faster. The racing today is more like a fast parade, than a test to see who has the most skill.
I was a kid in the 90s, and I vividly remember countless times watching SX races on tv, and it was just a given that MC was gonna win Lol
And the reason why you remember him is because he was great. With the tracks today, where it is basically your turn to win because 12 guys have the track wired, (OK, Ferrandis is a slight stand out, but it can't be by much more than .2 seconds a lap),------I bet you can't remember who won last years championship. Why? It does not make an impression on your brain the way true greatness does. I have been into this sport since a kid in 76, and I don't remember anything but greatness,---that ended with Villapoto.
He got better and better , feels for the other racer , Emig, Larocco, etc etc
McGrath has always been my favorite rider but I liked all these guys!! This was the golden years of SX!!!😎💪🇺🇸🙏 I got to meet Jeremy and get autographs and pics with him at High Point National and he was so down to earth and genuinely listened to what u were saying or asking!! Even Ezra Lusk also !! I talked to him at High Point and I said the track looks tacky today, and he said yeah it really is tacky!! Then he actually talked racing for a minute when I told him I raced Gncc!!
It would be cool to see some 500cc races from back in the day!! Larocco was a beast on the 500!!😎💪🇺🇸🙏
I use to record all of these races on VHS. Not sure what I did with them though. McGrath was as cool as they come with his arm around the reporter. Now days they have to thank all the sponsors for 5 minutes.
If you could find them they would probably get some views on UA-cam.
Un bravo pilota🔝🔝💣
Thanks for the work,on the video the Supercross was good work to
Awesome, thanks for the upload!
Excellent video.
Much Appreciated, more to come!
MC The king👑 ….plain and simple!
Super
showtime... the king of supercross
Mí ídolo número 1 Jeremy mgrath
I miss these days!!! I used to have my cousin record every race for me(main event only) on vhs!!! I have a few seasons on those tapes!!! I miss Art and Davey in the booth!!!😎💪🇺🇸🙏🙏
1••👍👍👍👍👍❤️😷fc. Thai land
The tracks were like super enduro tracks. Geez I raced a few and you couldn’t tell which way the track went. Lol
Him and the Honda just fit......
5:40 mah boi Lol
The king claiming his territory lol.
5:41 Lmao
He is/was so fking good
Even a Ricky Carmichael,Jame's Stewart,Travis pastranna Loretta Lynn's video ameture career would be awesome sure you already have one out
Honda needs to realize they could single handedly bring back 2 stroke pro motocross simply with the CR250. The bike is phenomenal! The rules of the AMA have to be changed back and also they need to be fair. If you race a 250 then you race the 250 class whether it be a 2 or 4 stroke. If the 4 strokes loose that just further proves they are slower and can’t compete. As far as the EPA goes they are not involved because KTM,Yamaha and Husky still make a 2 stroke. We need to stir up and even cause conflict in pro motocross which will attract a lot of attention to the sport and changing this ruling will do it. Honda is loosing multi millions by not having these 2 strokes out there including the 80,125 & 250. The time is now and it’s going to take someone like Honda to stand up and fight back and change these rules. The 4 strokes can still be sold and used for off road and the woods which they are great for. This entire 4 stroke thing has just been sad for the sport and silly. I have had kids in my shop and they like to hear the bikes run because it’s exciting and it’s always the 2 strokes they want to hear as well as letting them rip the throttle a few times. The reason this is so important is we have to teach our youth. Motocross came from a very tough blue collar background yet the only ones that can afford them now are the wealthy and upper middle class so that means our best riders are not even out there racing. This has to be changed. We need the Bob Hannahs, Rick Johnson’s and Jeff Wards back on the track fighting it out. We need to hear the loud screams from the bikes in the turns.
Please make a video of these people's ameture career like Loretta Lynn's don't know if mini O's was a thing back then
Art Eckmen was the perfect....mx anouncee a strong voice an a sound of ergency no screaming no panic....david bailey an Davey coombs was the best...Coombs ran loretta lynns amatuers so he was the best really comfortable around the riders even doing a test lap with a go pro...emig was another one whos was super regular with a micro at the races...JT does a great job as well
💚💚🍀🍀
So how did he end up leaving Honda anyway?
They call Ricky the G.O.A.T.
I think the are wrong!
It’s debatable. No doubt MC is the King indoors, but RC was the one to take the king down and go on a pretty epic run himself in Supercross. What separates the two is RC was just as dominant outdoors (2 perfect seasons), whereas MC was more of a one-trick pony and wasn’t really as much of a force in MX.
Ricky is the goat for being awesome outdoors and Supercross, McGrath is King of Supercross because he was better then Ricky and everyone else at Supercross!
7:40….. can someone sort the tracking out it’s affecting the audio….
😆 🤣 😂 😹
Pena que a imagem está desfocada
It was extremely difficult to watch races on tv during this time , tracks was so much more tamed down too .. suspension sucked 😂
How do you things got so great on bikes now , minus the whole 4 stroke Cali thing ...
Sure tell the difference when the suspension got good
After he left Honda they didn't win another premier class title until RC, and now they haven't won since RC in 04 outdoors and 2002 in supercross... that's 20 years for the Honda powerhouse... NO ONE would of ever thought or predicted that slump, it's sad to see. I call it the RC curse, they didn't give him the deal he wanted for 05 because they wanted Stewart and RC clapped back on suzuki (a career ender at the time) and won 2 more years, bad choice Honda. Suzuki developed the engine and chassis on Yamaha in 2005 for RC, it was such a great bike and the first year and the 06 RMZ did very well for him it never blew up in a race (rare in those early days) and handled well for him..m Suzukis were always known for their cornering ability even in stock trim.
Him rolling up on a full factory Makita Suzuki for step up at xgames was so sick, he won a couple times but if it wasn't for a couple crashes he would of won every event he entered in step up, that bike had so much drive combined with his start ability and prevent wheel spin on the face, he cleared the bar by feet every time.
2003 in supercross sorry, he won 02 and 03 and then missed the series in 04 with injury and havent won since then, my mistake
🙂
If it wasn't for 97 he would of been in low to mid 80's for supercross premier wins. That Suzuki just didn't fit him snd had multiple mechanicals, if it wasn't for those and a few crashes I still think he could of pulled the title even having a terrible year.
He must hate being filmed in 360P
84K views come on people the mx /sx community is better than this. This guy put in a lot of work to put this together. Karen videos get more than this one that's not right.
The best comment of the new year lol. Much appreciated!
He was one of the best in super cross why didn’t he run in the outdoor moto cross
He wasn’t as good outdoors, and made plenty of money indoors. He was good enough that he could negotiate a sx-only contract and still make more than most guys made doing SX and MX
I always wished he would ran the outdoors his whole career been interesting to ween how nany titles he coulda won career he wasn't the best ever outdoor bit he was as good as anyone else outdoors. I never respected him until he won his 95 outdoor title .I guess it was his career an who noes he coulda wound up like Rick Johnson an got his career cut short clause the speed outdoors in those days on the those outdoor tracks one them rockets was insane.dam 4 stroke bikes has absolutely destroyed motocross period
Eli Tomac is going to break his 72 win record.
My o my. What color is the sky in your world? lol
If he races until he's 45.
Can you give me your dealers number please?
McGrath gots the wins when it mattered.
@@jgibson6041 it always matters….
Jeremy McGrath, nice guy , my daughter was a pee wee racer in 93-94 , MC would practice at star west MX track on thursday nights , he always had time to say hello to her , ride her pee around the pits , just be a low key nice guy
Hate to say this but if you honestly look at it JM was only fast against lesser competitors as soon as new talent started to show up he faded away his early career he was racing aging vets mostly. He got a big head after that early success and his hardest competition in his early and mid career was Jeff Emig really until RC moved up to 250. Ricky blew him away then Jeremy pretty much faded into a guy who gave up as soon as a few guys passed him. He knew he couldn’t compete with the new crop of riders in the later 90s and early 00s and didn’t want to try he still got hole shots but was always quickly passed up.
I remember when he left honda, and I stopped being a fan because honda was what started me being a fan not him, he was just the by products, but when he left honda, iys was like a sellout to me
He knows how to talk sponsor bullshit this stuff was boring back then and still boring now.
I cant stand aluminum frame hondas. I just cant ride them. Plus they break shit CONSTANTLY. Never, in 25 years of racing motocross have i seen internal shit go like shit does in newer cr hondas. Yamahas are the only way to go if ur a privateer. Steel frame hondas are a totally different story though. I have a 1995 cr250, 2020 yz450f and i just bought the 2022 yz250x 2 stroke which is just, its just the best motorcycle ever made. The honda is just a stand and sand queen. But its so fun to ride.
Nobody cares about McGrath anymore
boring.
Were is quality !? WTF
Ever complain about your cell phone audio quality? Nope. Even though the 1969 moon landing transmissions were better audio quality.
2 tin cans and a tight string sound better than these crappy phones.
