Jeff Emig is a retired professional Supercross and motocross athlete who now works in television broadcasting, handling the color analyst for the World Supercross Championship. Prior to his television career, Emig rode for factory Yamaha and factory Kawasaki throughout the 1990s. He won the 1992 125 outdoor motocross championship, the 1996 250 outdoor motocross championship, and the 1997 Supercross and outdoor motocross championships.
This episode with Emig dives into all kinds of fascinating conversations. We discuss him failing the eighth grade, wanting to be a rockstar not an athlete, the moment he knew he broke Jeremy McGrath's spirit during the '96 outdoor motocross championship, factory Yamaha not paying him enough to win, kicking Mike LaRacoo in the back, his factory salaries at Yamaha and Kawasaki, the moment he realized his professional racing career was truly over (two years after his major injury), and so much more.
I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and being able to sit down and pick Emig's brain about what maybe the most iconic era of professional Supercross and motocross racing (The '90s). I would love to have Fro back for a part two to discuss the iconic motocross films he was apart of like Crusty Demons of Dirt , Thor's Full Power Trip and, of course, Frezno Smooth.
