The 2016 season is about to kick off, and Jeremy Martin hopes to join elite company with a third straight title. He’ll face serious challenges from every rider on the Pro Circuit team, one of the most decorated teams in the history of motocross.
There are no excuses in motocross racing, and only results matter for the riders and the men who train them. Shane McElrath and Jessy Nelson must each cope with injuries, track conditions, and their competitors if they hope to finish in the top 10.
Joey Savatgy shocked the MX world by taking both motos in round one of 2016, but staying on top isn't easy. Ricky Carmichael takes Joey under his wing and shows him that the way to have it easy on race day is to go through hell while training.
Jeremy Martin might be the two-time defending champ, but his results so far have left him trailing his rival. With a new training regimen at a world-class track on his family’s property, he’s trying to chase down Joey Savatgy.

Cooper Webb was the pre-season favourite to bump up to the 450 Class circuit, but in motocross, each rider has to earn his keep. A wrist injury and strong challenges from other riders like Jeremy Martin could endanger his chance at a contract.
