    I was a track flagger at Anaheim in 93" in the corner where Jeremy launched over Stanton, I was only a few feet from the two fighting it out and witnessed close up one of the greatest passes in the history of Supercross. Jeremy was on fire that night! Just an awesome memory I will never forget. He still has it. Enjoyed your video Jack. Keep up the great work.

      @126er3 yep, I remember that. Stanton went downhill from that point on seemed like.

      Yep, the only reading I did was Motorcross Action to follow his career and bought arguably the worst 250 because of him 😂😂😂 (97 cr250)

    • @steveewing7253
      @steveewing7253 Рік тому +1

      My buddy at the time did the same thing, bought the 97' cr250. I didn't learn and bought the 98' cr250 and still have it. Love the motor but the rest of the bike not so much.

    Watching his style,got me started riding. I even had a 1994 CR250. Man I loved that bike...and now own a 2004 KX125. I get Goosebumps just staring at it.😊

    This is awesome to see. I raced with Jeremy and even kept my 01 YZ125 SX bike all these years. Just did a frame up resto and took her out to the track. Most fun I’ve had in 20 years.

    Jeremy is a super nice guy, I raced MX for a long time I met all the pro riders over the years at local tracks around Florida and at Loretta Lynn's nationals etc but I was most privileged to have met Jeremy, the coolest nicest guy of them all. I met Jeremy a couple times and got to hang out & ride with him at a closed track here in Florida as well moments I will never forget!

    Luckily I got into SX just as MC's career was taking off in the 250 class, so I saw him race many times in person, and was there from the beginning to the end of his career. He really is a humble and easygoing guy in person. The sport just became massive around 1998 because of him

    My first Supercross was the Kingdome in Seattle , I'm thinking it was 1992. Later that same year I also went to Washougal and McGrath did a knack-knack over the finish line.
    I was a young married guy with two kids and my wife was pregnant with our third.
    At the time i had a yz 490 but never raced, just rode for fun with my brothers.
    My oldest (daughter) and youngest (son) started racing about 7 years later and i finally entered my first race about 7 years after that. (Well into my 40s)
    I'm 61 now, kids all grown up and living their lives, wife got herself a new husband, etc.
    But i still have a dirt bike!

    Man like he said seems like yesterday he was hanging on my wall on the Yamaha 250 2t doing a nacnac over the finish line 🏁 he was my all time favorite racer still to this day Jeremy seems like a good dude on and off the track, I grew up watching Jeremy eming and Kevin windam then after Ricky came in and started winning that was good and my other all time favorite riders to watch battle was James Stewart chad reed and Ricky battling 125s and the 250s that was when racing was everything to me I was racing a kx 100 at the time and I learned so much about riding the little tricks you see the riders are able to pull off a line that nobody else is taking and pass you like it’s easy it amazes me the pure talent these guys have definitely played a big role in what got me into mx was after watching my first sx race live in atl Georgia at the old Georgia dome and McGrath won the 250 main that year never forget the first time smelling that race fuel and oil in the air it was so intense it grabbed my attention till this very day at 32 years old I still love riding but not competing anymore might start back when my son is ready too start

    I was one of the lucky ones that actually got to race with Jeremy. Well...maybe not that lucky. It was when he just got on 125's and he was racing in the novice class at Barona Oaks. I think it was a Golden State National race. Anyhow, he got the holeshot. I was about 5th. Ryan Hughes kept up with him for maybe 1 lap, then he was gone. Next thing I know is I'm being lapped in less than 5 laps and thinking "WHAT THE HELL!!", "WHO IS THIS GUY??". He ended up lapping 3rd place. Only Ryan stayed on the same lap. So yeah, he's fast.
