Man this would be awesome to attend. I loved watching that guy ride. A buddy of mine who use to race pro-am said he was the smoothest MX rider he's ever seen

My favorite clip:

That's awesome! Wish I was closer. I never got to watch Jeremiah ride before the wreck in person but I've always looked up to him. I've seen him at the nationals a lot but could never just grow a pair and go shake his hand. Lol maybe next year I'll roll up there on the R and see what he has to say.

I would love to go to this. Allison he's a super nice guy and loves R's he had this at Lorettas a couple of weeks ago.

Got to meet him a few times at Red Bud. Actually have some pics of him and his Klotz quads from there. Was a amazing rider to say the least. Wish stuff like this was closer so I could attend.

In 2006 he crashed at Unadilla. In turn 1 in got hit by other riders.

I believe in the DVD National born killers there is a segment where they interviewed him and spoke about the crash. After the crash Suzuki hired him to work with their team. I'm not sure what his roll was or if he is still employed with them. I think it is super awesome that he is still very much involved in ATV's. Many people would have thrown in the towel. Just goes to show how much drive the guy has.

I also was lucky enough to meet JJ #5 at Red Bud back in the day when he was racing 250 R's. His dad was really dedicated to the sport and a very supportive dad. Very sad day for the sport when JJ #5 went down. I have an autographed shirt from JJ #5 along with Joe Byrd and Doug Gust (not for sale) as I have passed it down to my son. I feel very lucky to have met them. Three of the best from the 2000 season!

He was a great rider and a 250R lover for sure! I can only imagine how fast hed be on a R bigger than 265cc's!

I bought some stuff off him last year and he's a great guy. Sounded like he was still really involved in quads and I think I heard he was working with/for Hinson Racing.
