Erick “Big E” Bartoldus, Supercross- Four Legends On February 28 (1 pm EST) a new show will air on CBS Sports featuring the most dominant riders in Supercross. The careers of Jeremy McGrath, Ricky Carmichael, Chad Reed, and James Stewart will be the main focus as the show defines the sport and how it became the greatest off-road motorcycle series of all time. It will take you behind the scenes of each rider’s career and what they endured to become legends. This one-hour show, produced by the same folks that created Motocross Files, has been much anticipated and may change every viewers opinion on their favorite or not so favorite riders.
