Jeremy McGrath

Hakkımda:

With seven Supercross titles - a feat no other racer in Supercross history has even come close to - with two additional 125 Western Region Supercross Championships, one 250 Outdoor National Championship and two FIM World Supercross Championships, most within this spectacular sport feel Jeremy McGrath is to Supercross what Michael Jordan is to basketball.

Truly the most successful rider in AMA Supercross history, with a record 72 250cc Supercross wins, the dirt bike racing icon retired from the sport he helped catapult into mainstream popularity in 2003, only to return in the 2005 season to race select events throughout the 16 week pro Supercross season.

Post Supercross, Jeremy entered the 2004, 2005 and 2006 Summer X-Games competing in Step-Up and SuperMoto garnering Gold, Bronze and Silver medals; he created and produced the Jeremy McGrath Invitational, a never-before-seen, two-day Supercross event featuring a $500,000 purse; penned a best-selling autobiography culminating with a stint on the New York Times Best Seller List; twice came close to a podium, racing four stops of the Championship Off Road Racing (CORR) series and became a co-owner of Pole Position Raceway, southern California’s largest indoor public carting facility.

Not only a world class athlete, but an exceptional entrepreneur ... Jeremy is the first pro racer to form and operate his own Supercross race team. The team’s 2001 inaugural race season, culminated with a title sponsor deal with MAZDA and in 2002 BUD LIGHT/ANHEUSER-BUSCH signed on as title sponsor for McGrath’s endeavor.

The first Supercross racer with his own toy line, Jeremy’s affiliation with MATTEL includes the popular X-TREME CYCLE, a radio controlled motorcycle complete with a McGrath racing figure, X-TREME MOTOCROSS, with replica motorcycles and action figures featuring non-stop race action on a simulated motocross track as well as a Jeremy McGrath line of HOT WHEELS.

Jeremy’s sponsors for the 2007 SX season are AMERICAN HONDA, PARTS UNLIMITED, THOR, MONSTER ENERGY DRINK, BELL HELMETS, ALPINESTARS, SPY OPTICS, DC SHOES, TROY LEE DESIGNS, PRO CIRCUIT, HINSON RACING, DUNLOP TIRES, ASTERISK, RENTHAL, AMP’D MOBILE, WHEEL PROS, KICKER AUDIO, CYTOMAX, HARO BIKES, BVR, Z GALLERIE and TITLEIST.

Within the television and film world, the popular WB kids show MAX STEEL, created an animated super hero version of the Supercross Champ for which Jeremy provides all of the voice-over work. He also had a cameo role, opposite Cameron Diaz in the Sony film, CHARLIE’S ANGELS: FULL THROTTLE. Additionally, Jeremy has his own production company, Clutch Films, which produced industry stand-outs STEEL ROOTS I, II, SR3, New Blood and TECHNIQUES OF A CHAMPION.

Jeremy and his wife, Kim, have a one-year old daughter, Rhowan Parker. In his spare time, Jeremy enjoys playing golf, snow and wake boarding, boating, BMX, off-road truck racing and stock car racing.
