When Tyler Bereman was eight-years-old, he was so dedicated to grace and style on a motocross bike that he didn't just hang a Jeremy McGrath poster in his bedroom. He had the seven-time supercross champion painted on the walls. It wasn't McGrath’s racetrack success that most inspired Bereman; it was the fun he had riding motorcycles away from competition, sending it in the canyons and dunes of California, which Bereman absorbed while watching video parts and reading magazines.
From a humble central California upbringing, in a household where flat track racing was a generational affair, Tyler was always able to coerce his dad into letting him go find jumps on their regular trail rides. Randy Bereman was happy to oblige, and when Tyler started racing motocross at 10, all he wanted to do was jump. He accelerated quickly, winning an AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship in 2010.
