Jeremy Martin is now an established player in this sport, with two 250 National Motocross Championships and a long-term deal with GEICO Honda. When he was younger, though, he bounced through the amateur ranks looking for his shot and kept training and preparing harder and harder so he would be ready when that day came. He was always prepared, and he's now known as one of the sport's hardest-working and most focused riders. Unfortunately, all that work has been put on hold due to a devastating back injury he suffered in June at the Muddy Creek National—just when he seemed to be at the peak of his powers.

In this edition of the Racer X Exhaust Podcast, Jason Weigandt spends an hour with Jeremy talking about his background, his motivation, and what comes next, both in his comeback from injury and also his thoughts on life after racing. 

The Racer X Exhaust podcast is presented by Yoshimura.
