Rating: Summary: Simply Amazing - Everyone should read!!! Review: I ride my dirt bike, I'm not a pro (...) I bought the book for my son & joked that I bought it for myself, he got wide eyed & took me serious. Playing along, I started thumbing through, looking at all the pictures on the pages & started reading on one page & before I knew it I had turned several pages & was very into it. I stopped where I was & started from the beginning & just couldn't put it down! I knew who Jeremy McGrath was - he was a moto guy my son had posters of in his room & my daughter. Take a chance, read it - I guarentee you WILL LOVE IT!!!
Rating: Summary: Best Book I've Ever Read Review: I saw this book on Amazon and I decided to go to my local library and check it out. After about 3 pages I couldn't stop reading! During the book it gives you tips and starters on how to be a better motocross rider. It even gives you maintenance tips! Jeremy McGrath tells it how it is, from day 1 to the end of his career. I was surprised by how long it took for him to get a sponsor, and how he started out with old beaters instead of finely tuned factory rides. There is plenty of little pictures to go with it, too. I never was bored once when reading this book, and I didn't want it to end. I would have to say this book deserves 6 stars instead of 5, but 5 was the highest you could put...

Rating: Summary: Great insight and easy reading book Review: Other than magizines, I don't normally read books. But my hats off to Jeremy. This is a great book about family values, frinedships, sacrifices, facts and his living history of the Motocross industry. There are many insights into what happens behind the races that will open your eyes. It's not just about racing - Jeremy goes into preparation, both physical and mental and politics amongst the race teams. I read this book in three days and it won't take you long either. I learned allot about how individuals in the grueling sport of Motocross. I strongly recommend this book - young and old. A must for someone in the sport.
Rating: Summary: Good enough for a serious reader or ADD riders like me Review: This book is awsome, the minuite I read the excript of his book in RacerX I knew I had to buy it. It's very well written and has a nice flow to it. It gave me a new respect for the greatest Supercoss Rider of all time. Even if you don't like Jeremy you'll love his book, it's smart, funny, and suprising.

Rating: Summary: Awsome Review: This is the most useful and most finely detailed book i have ever read. It shows you all about the man who started the supercross era! It also has tips for you to learn, from working on your bike,to getting sponcerd. I really like this book because i was like him in a way because i was always looked over when i would try to get sponcers. This book is a must if you are a racer or just a fan, you need to read it so you can understand whats on the inside of a rider not just on the outside. This book also takes you inside the pits, from the partys to the girls they meet. I would highly recomend this bookfor anyone who is intristed in supercross, there are some things i didnt like, for one the editing was not right and the book was a little short, it kept me wonding what was next and then they end it just like that, and your left wounding what is going on. But all in all it is a good book. Go out and buy it, you will not be let down.
Rating: Summary: Superb! Review: Wide Open is a great representation of the motorcycle sport. The book shows that motorcycle racing is not just about racing. That there are a lot of politics surrounding the motorcycle industry. Wide open is a great book.
Rating: Summary: Can't keep hands off! Review: Written so anyone of any age enjoys reading! I can NOT get my boys to read ANYTHING but my 12 year old stayed up late reading it... He is actually having to fight for time to read with his 16 year old brother and his FATHER! Very interesting! Especially for those who love to ride & race bikes.
Rating: Summary: Best Book Review: YThis is the best book I highly reccomend it-it is so interesting and good-happy reading
