I'm glad I was apart of this generation of racers. Had a lot of good people to look up to.

I despise side by sides for taking over the high performance quad industry. I raced grassroots ATVMX in PA during the heyday. We had a thriving scene here and at some of those local races there could be as many as 60+ quads show up to race three different classes. Those days were unforgettable. Lots of hardware hanging on the garage walls from those races. They may just be plaques to some but for me they were part of my teenage passion. I’ll always love this sport and have huge respect for JJ.

I started racings in 00-01 outlaw tracks like blackrock.. Jeremiah was like a legend around here, what everyone wanted to be like. There was a lot of pros around here in early 00s. Jeremiah, Jeremy logsdon, the sipes. Glad he's doing good

Really enjoyed this video. Jeremiah's segments on the Huevos video is some of the best riding ever filmed. He rode aggressive and on the edge and made it look effortless and smooth. He's still very talented and knowledgeable. It'll be interesting if factory racing or sport quads make a come back.

I was a super fan during the days when this happened. I donated to the recovery and even got a signed Dana Creech graphics kit from the raffle. I'm so sorry you've had a hard time of it JJ. I wish you nothing but the best, it was a great joy to watch you compete.

I know this video is a little old at this point but I was standing on the inside of first turn when jones had that crash and I couldn’t believe my eyes. I raced a 2006 ltr at the same time broke the frame just like he did also. I really looked up to Jeremiah and Doug. I talk about guys from this time of racing when everyone was transitioning from the 250s to the 400s and 450s and these kids today have no clue how big the race scene was back then. So glad I found this video Iv looked over the years to see what Jeremiah was up to but never found much. Great videos love the content.

Super awesome video man, bo Jackson to Jeremiah Jones man I used to try ride like him in the early mid 2000’s he was one we all wanted to be like! Factory rider ! Glad to see him still in the sport ! Makes me want a sport quad if I could only afford one of those awesome Ltr 450s like he had

Jeremiah was always smoother on his 2 strokes. I wasn't there for his bad crash. I was on the starting gate at gatorback for winter Olympics when he and Matt bartosek got tangled up resulting in Matt's death. He raced with all the legends. Doug gust, Tim Farr, joe Byrd, Corey Ellis, dana Creech. It was awesome riding with those guys. When the factories were backing racing.

I remember that year, I was just starting Cross Country Atv racing and either watched and went to watch all the AMA MX races and did two local series with a buddy and hit as many GNCCs as we could. Jeremia Jones was the Joel Hetrick of today.

I had a zoomed in pic of 00:35 I took from the top of Gravity Cavity. I printed it on photo paper then and since then it is 90% faded out. The original digital pic is gone. I also still have the poster Jeremiah signed 30 minutes before this happened on my garage wall. Was great back then to see atv's racing at Unadilla. Not a rider anymore but still a fan of racing 👍

Sorry to hear this. I think a Rekluse clutch system was used and the rear brake was activated with the clutch lever. You can ask JJ. He's active on his Facevbook account. Also, I would highly recommend another friend's channel www.youtube.com/@JesiStracham Jesi is a fellow ATV enthusiast and former GNCC front runner in the Women's Pro class.

the reason they dont make stuff like they used to is because they were'nt concerned about safety or they were smokin' something funky. take the cr500 for example

I raced ATV nationals in 2002 2003 2004. I was racing on one of Doug gusts ltz400. Jeramiah was very fast but I didnt think he looked comfortable on the 4 strokes. Just like james Stewart. They were both faster on the 2 strokes. It just suited their riding style better

Not really. He was at the peak of his career IMO when he had the crash. He was riding the best he had ever ridden in his life and was the clear guy to beat.
