WHY IS JEREMY SO FAST ?
Jeremy Mcgrath has everone,
from riders to team managers
to sponsors to fans scratching
their collectieve heads trying to
figure out how to stop the massacare know as the mac attack.
to get a handle on jeremy's incredible domination,the MXA wreckingcrew asked a diverse group of knowledgeable people (including some of Jeremy's own BMX heroes).
why is jeremy so fast? while confidence seems to be the common demniator in most answers, you need more than confidence to win.
these answers give many clues and you can be sure the secret to succes is here.
if you find it, remember we were the ones who brought it to you because you ll be the next superstar

i think Jeremy looks at racing much like i did.
i was racing against the physics and dynamics of the track.
what about the other riders?
nothing but moeving obstacles.
if i could get around those moving obstacles, i could concecrate on me and mother nature.
i talk to riders who say, man, i have the biggest problem when im out in front.
they are racing against the wrong things.
little Jeremy didn' get that fast by looking for ways to go faster around the track....mother nature.

i think he is that fast because he is so smooth, he is precise at everythinghe does and i believe now he is in shape.
before he was in shape he was depending more on his talent and now he has put his talent and training together and thts a pretty hard thing to beat.

i always think about this question.
how does he make up the time? how does he do it? i think his main thing is that he is so confident and gets good starts.
he is really fast on the technical stuff on the track.
he is smart.
he thinks.
if he does get a bad start, he holds back and then makes he moves and gets up there.
i race against Jeremy a lot and try to pick up on stuff.
he is really fast in and out of corners,he jumps reallt low and he puts is together like that around the whole track.
Even is it is a few hundreds of a second in one turn an another turn and another turn, thats all it takes.
it is just a little bit here, andthere but in a lap,thats adds up.
even if it is only a second,thats a twenty second lead by the end of a race.
i think thats it along with the fact he is so confident right now.

i don' know to say it.
Jeremy really enloys what he is doing and winning is a lot more fun than losing.
most athletes have up days and down, but Jeremy is up for ervery race.
jer has been able to focus on doing the verry best that he can dowhen he has to work.
i don' know why he wins.
i knowheis as dedicated and as focused as anybody else,it is just that he enjoys winning.
and he doesen' get down on himself if things don' go his way.
he just figures hell work a little harder.
i think every time he goes out there,he believes he is the baddest guy(he believes that in his hart).
hes told me that no matter where he goes in the world,he knows he is the baddest guythere.
it has to be a mental thing because there are a lot of great riders.
i think he may just be mentally stronger than the guys hes racing against right now

confidence.
he is a great rider, no doubt,but i think the reason he is so dominant is so confidant.
he ihas the other riders mentally bat and he hs the races mentally won before he evengets tot hem.
every bdy goes to the line thinkin the race is for second and Jeremy goes to the line knowing he is going to win
