0:00.0	Born and raised in Minnesota, Jeremy Martin had one goal. Come, a professional motocross racer, and he chased it with everything he had. When did it click? Super many days. I just rode seven days a week at Milville. And I got like really good and I just remember being like, man, this is what I want to do. I felt like I didn't have a plan B. It was all plan A. Jeremy Martin found success early in his career, going head to head against legends
0:23.6	like Cooper Webb and Martin Muscan, stacking back-to-back pro motocross championships.
0:28.6	After reaching the highest levels of the sport, Jeremy's career was derailed by a series of brutal
0:34.2	injuries. But at his lowest point, he didn't fold. He doubled down, stayed gnarly, and kept grinding. Through being gnarly the last couple of years, it's almost created opportunities for me. And Bobby sees me in. He was just like, hey, what are you doing? You riding anymore or whatever? And we just got into a conversation. And that's when he said, hey, he's like, come ride the bike. And I said, are you sh-h-h-kning? You don't have to get ready if you stay ready kind of deal. Basically, that's the beauty of sport.
0:57.4	It's like, come ride the bike. And I said, are you sh-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h- You don't have to get ready if you stay ready kind of deal.
0:55.5	Basically, that's the beauty of sport. It's like, man, nothing's guaranteed, right? Like, dude, when that gate drops, the bullshit stops. In sport, very few athletes go out winning. But after years of struggles, Jeremy Martin pulled off the unthinkable and with his Millville
1:10.4	win wrote a chapter of motocross history that will live forever.
1:14.0	First thing I said, Jeremy Martin pulled off the unthinkable and with his Millville win wrote a chapter of
1:11.7	motocross history that will live forever. First thing I said when I got back to the truck was
1:16.2	give me a beer. We're gonna get f***ed up. Like you're the definition of it's not a matter of the
1:23.8	size of the dog in the fight but the fight in the dog. You know, like you are their living embodiment of that.
1:30.1	It wasn't always pretty, that's for sure.
1:31.9	And I could have done things a lot better, but I always tried.
1:34.5	I gave it my all.
1:35.3	Gypsy Tales welcomes Jeremy Martin to the podcast.
1:45.2	Jeremy Martin.
1:47.0	We're doing it, mate.
1:48.0	Welcome to Gypsy Tales.
1:49.6	Yeah, it's been a long time coming.
1:52.7	Dude, the timing is impeccable.
2:04.1	I mean, obviously, you know, we planned it, but it's a pretty epic way to fly in, do the pot after being like the hero of all heroes.
2:07.3	Yeah, I mean, it's like you said, it is perfect timing.
