It was also the ‘90s, which, looking back, was one of the coolest eras of our sport, and McGrath was by far the coolest of that era. We can see this guy riding forever. I think that most people would say Rick Johnson would win that award as he outgained Wardy in supercross wins during the decade 28-20.
