Wide Open: A Life in Supercross offers an inside look at the rise of Supercross through the story of its biggest star, Jeremy McGrath.

Interwoven throughout the narrative are practical sections aimed at aspiring riders and dedicated fans. These segments highlight what it really takes to compete at a high level, from physical training to understanding the machine beneath you.

- A behind-the-scenes look at professional Supercross culture and competition
- Insights into Jeremy McGrath’s racing career, sponsors, and media ventures
- Guidance on workout routines and conditioning for Supercross
