Jeremy McGrath has become a household name in the motocross world. Thought to be the Michael Jordan of Supercross by most, Jeremy smoked the competition in 2000 by winning his 7th Supercross Championship in the 250CC class, a feat uncomparable to any other rider in the sport. Born November 19, 1971 in San Francisco, CA, Jeremy McGrath, moved to Southern California. His parents bought him a mini-bike as a child, but McGrath honed his racing skills on the BMX circuit in So Cal. By the age of 15, Jeremy Mcgrath's need for speed turned his interests toward motocross. With his parents permission and funding efforts, Jeremy jumped into the motocross world.
He helped his parents fund his racing by bagging groceries and other odd jobs. Although entering the motocross circuit much later than most, Jeremy McGrath incorporated his BMX racing skills into his motocross racing, and after only 3 years as an amateur he made his AMA debut in 1989.
In 1993, Jeremy McGrath won his first AMA Supercross race, and the rest is history. McGrath went on to dominate the competition in the '93 AMA Supercross Series, winning 10 of 16 races and taking the championship. For the next 9 years until his retirement on January 2, 2003, McGrath went on to shatter every record in AMA Supercross history, including his seven AMA Supercross Championships in '93, '94, '95, '96, '98, '99, and '00. After his retirement Jeremy Mcgrath has still been a dominant force in the motocross world as well as a successful entreprenuer creating his own supercross race team as well as joining with former racer Jeff Ward, and artist Troy Lee to form the Troy Lee Designs/ Honda Supermoto Team in Spring 2003. Jeremy has been blessed with sponsors such as Bell, Thor, Alpinestars, Spy Optics, Troy Lee Designs, DC Shoes, and Honda.
Currently, Jeremy McGrath and his wife Kim are embarking on a new journey with the birth of their son Rhowan Parker McGrath, born December 11, 2005.
