Motocross Legend Jeff Emig Had to Come Back to Talk About This! McGrath Rivalry, Scoop Tires & More

Jeff Emig returns to the podcast—and as always, he brings stories, insight, and that trademark passion for the sport. A true legend of motocross and Supercross, Jeff made his name in the iconic 90’s era, going bar-to-bar with Jeremy McGrath and famously ending McGrath’s shot at a perfect season in ’97. After his racing career, Jeff became the voice of Supercross for an entire generation of fans, all while keeping his own love for riding alive—still lining up at select amateur events and vet races. In this episode, we cover it all: what needs to change in motocross and Supercross, the scoop tire debate, grated starts, holeshot devices, and the future of the sport including the rise of World Supercross. If you love racing history, strong opinions, and a look at where the sport is headed, you won’t want to miss this one.
