We’ll have to wait until tonight to hear the rest of the TransWorld Motocross Awards winners, but here’s a big one as a teaser: Jeremy McGrath will receive the 1st Annual TWMX Legend Award at the ceremony tonight in Las Vegas.
McGrath’s racing accomplishments are, of course, the stuff of legend – see press release below, via TWMX if you need the history lesson – but here at FUEL.TV he holds a special place in our hearts as the inventor of the Nac Nac and, by extension, the godfather of freestyle motocross.

McGrath came to motocross as a BMX rider, and he brought his style and tricks with him, giving rise to FMX as we know and love it today. Hell, there’s even a statue of McGrath rocking the Nac Nac in front of the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame. Long live The King!
