Tige throws Jeremy McGrath a 40k Freebie

Jeremy McGrath is the most successful rider in AMA Supercross history. With a record 74 250cc Supercross wins (next best is Rick Johnson with 28), the 2000 season marked yet another milestone... Jeremy won his seventh Supercross title, a feat no other racer in Supercross history has even come close to! With an additional two World Supercross Championships, most within this spectacular sport feel Jeremy is to motocross what Michael Jordan is to basketball.

Jeremy is not only a world class athlete, but an exceptional entrepreneur, forming and operating his own team for the 2001 race season and helping to culminate major endorsement deals with Tigé Boats, Inc., Mazda and Yamaha. Other top corporations providing support to Jeremy's newest venture include Hot Wheels and 1-800-COLLECT. Jeremy has also worked to develop his own line of motocross gear, No Fear MX Gear, which became available at the start of the 1999 motocross season and has experienced exceptional sales.

As for personal sponsorship, Jeremy has a licensing arrangement through Mattel which has released X-Treme Cycle, a radio controlled motorcycle complete with McGrath racing figure, X-Treme Motorcross, with replica motorcycles and action figures featuring non-stop race action on a simulated motocross track. He's also sponsored by Spy Optic, BC Ethic, Alpinestars, Kicker Audio, GT Bicycles, PJ I Coating, Troy Lee Designs, CTI, Acclaim Video and Vans Shoes (Jeremy's signature shoe, the MC1, was released July 1, 2001.)

Also interested in entertainment, 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. Jeremy also appears in a popular, national 1-800-COLLECT commercial with Alyssa Milano and he recently made a cameo appearance in the Disney film Motocrossed.

A California native, Jeremy still makes his home in Southern California and when not racing or helming his business endeavors, he enjoys both snow and wake boarding, boating, bmx and golf.

Jeremy's personal wakeboard boat of choice is a 2002 21V Riders Edition, completely loaded, that he uses on Canyon Lake in California when not riding the track. Jeremy says, "I love coming home to ride behind my 2IV. The extra room means I have a party every time out on the water. I am stoked on the wakes as well as how sweet the Tigé looks in the water." Jeremy joins fellow Tige owners Carey Hart, Seth Enslow and Larry Ward.
