Kinda dorky 
2008-07-24
I found this movie/documentary to be rather sophmoric and goofy, but worth watching anyway. Some motorcycle magazine editors feel they have to mention this, "EPIC", tale in their respective publications every month, raving about how wonderful it is and how much it influenced their lives. I just don't see it. I grew up in the 60"s and 70"s and have been riding motorcycles for 39 years. I certainly didn't need Bruce Brown to tell me to.

ONE OF THE BEST! 2008-06-09
I saw this movie in the theater when I was 4 years old in Las Vegas! One week later my mom got me my first mini bike, and I've been an avid off road motorcycle enthusiast since then. I finally found this movie in a video store in 1981 (10 years after first seeing it), if you like motorcycles, and the 70s, this movie is the best. Bruce Brown does a killer job putting this masterpiece together. Flattracker Mert Lawlwill, Malcolm smith, Steve Mcqueen, and a host of other stars, and future stars appear. I have viewed this movie at least once a year, since I found it in the store in 1981! Also very humorous!

This is one of my all-time favorite docus'. I especially enjoy seeing people having good, clean fun and enjoying the company of others all together for a common purpose. As the audience watches true professionals in their trade, this time, motorcyclists, it brings something out of you and the youngsters: a good and clean desire to make the mosts of whatever life you are in. That is the reason why I have heard from several people that "even if you're not into motorcycling, you'll enjoy this film". Well done in all respects.

Mention the name Bruce Brown in any crowd and someone will reply: "He is the reason I ride." Featuring Steve McQueen with music by the famed Dominick Fronteirie this is without a doubt the quintessential motorcycle film now digitally re-mastered and loaded with never-before-seen extras. Academy Award nominated Bruce Brown highlighted this intoxicating race world filled with rugged road riders and the grueling excitement of muddy and murderous motocross daring dune riding slicing the ice and the tortuous mayhem of the Baja 1000. The grandfather of motorcycle sport filmmaking now greets a new breed of sport riders and filmmakers which include sons Dana and Wade and grandson Wes with partner T.J. Barrack - all of whom had a hand in the Bonus Features for this incredible new DVD set. Wherever a reason whatever the season Bruceand his friends for decades with familiar names like Malcolm and Mert along with the new breed of riders taking the sport to the extreme can conjure up stories and tales of how they almost made it jumped it ate it killed it or trashed it on practically every Sunday.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC.

Beware.....you may buy a motorcycle after watching this movie.
Best Motorcycle movie I ever saw..........
Love it! 2008-01-09
This DVD is great. I knew what to expect having grown up watching it on video. I technically got it for my dad as a Xmas present to replace the video, which was lost, but seeing it again was really enjoyable for the whole family. Anyone into motorcycles will get a kick out of this. Its fabulously well done, and I love it. I may even buy a second one for my house.
UnBox does not work 
2007-12-11
12/11/2007: I rented this video with UnBox; I never got a chance to see it. Unbox installation required three reboots to complete. With UnBox finally installed, I rented and downloaded this film. It took over an hour to download, and it would not let me watch while downloading. As a competitive reference, CinemaNow allows view about a minute after the download starts.
The download completed, but now I dont have time to watch it. No problem, I think, I'll just watch it later in the week.
No deal. When I tried to play the movie, it would give me a pop up window "getting license for content please wait". I waited. I got tired of waiting. Waiting sucks. So I retried the play button, same thing - "wait...". I ran the diagnostics applet under "prefferences" - all green.
This one rental has lead to 3 customer support contacts with Amazon.
This implementation of instant movie deliver is not ready yet. Give it a few more months. I hope Amazon is addressing the issues; once corrected, UnBox will be a neat service.
Best motorcycle movie? 2007-12-07
I liked this film but can't quite agree with calling it the "best motorcycle movie ever". For that, it is too one-sided on dirt. I'm missing more road racing. I would have loved to see some of the now legendary racers and bikes of the GP circuit.
Besides the motorcycling aspect I see this film as a document of a particular time. That made it interesting to me in itself.
