I had the chance to talk to The King and ask him if he had a "do-over" in his career, what would it be? I had previously asked him this question in private so I knew he'd talk about his 1996 outdoor season so I also had my own question prepared for him about his brief time with KTM.

THE KING!

And I’m still pissed the camera men missed his hole shot NacNac lol
I was on travel and at a mall in La Jolla, shopping for a Valentine’s Day wife gift. Just mid week, middle of the day, and there’s MC with a buddy doing the same. It was during his farewell tour. I was still bummed about the way things ended, but didn’t bring it up. He was very chill, and I said the typical fan boy stuff and out of respect cut it short. First and only time in my life I probably came off as a star struck dork!
I remember him bringing up that 96 season on several occasions over the years, how he wished he'd just stuck out and got what he could get for that race. Insane amount of titles regardless.
I could be wrong but I believe he also cut his foot at a restaurant whilst trying to get over the other Millville injury? Stepped on a broken glass or something... Unbelievable.

Not the Arizona race but still awesome.

He just won his first short course truck championship. At one race he was leading, Deegan was a lapper and kept racing McGrath on the last lap almost taking MC out. McGrath's response after race was great, saying that was typical punk bs from Deegan. Haha...love it.
As far as other riders, Emig, RV, Ron Lechien, J-Law (of course), Mike Alessi, Kevin Windham, TP199 and so on
John Dowd: Interested to hear how he thinks the sport is evolving.
