It's a ground breaking documentary for the sport of motorcycle racing (and also BMX racing). It follows #1 Mert Lawwill, veteran Dick Bugsy Mann, reckless rookie David Aldana, flamboyant Gene Burrito Romero and winningest Jim Rice in motorcycle track racing. It also has a short cameo by racing enthusiast Steve McQueen and racer Malcolm Smith. There are various other types of motorcycle racing. The constant narration gives it an old fashion documentary feel. Although it has great exciting race footage. It is lots of crashes. It has slow motion to bring out the beauty of motorcycle racing. It would have been great to get closer to the racers' personal lives but that's a more modern documentary move. Also we don't usually get to hear the racers' voices. That's a shame for a movie preserving these figures. It would be nice to hear it straight from the men.
