El_Jefe ...because it's almost entirely in slow-motion. Seriously. Someone got hold of a high speed camera and proceeded to abuse it. Aside from the rapid-cutting, sporadic interview shots, the whole thing is in slow motion.I don't know who these people are. I don't agree with their statements (e.g. "it's every racer's dream to be on the banks at Daytona" no it isn't). I don't particularly care about their personal story. I don't care about the company they're pimping or about how important God, the military, or their families are to them. Actually, I take that back, the bit with Ted Simon of Jupiter's Travels was pretty good, up until they dubbed in the sound of a two stroke engine while showing a 4-stroke KTM.Skip this and go watch On Any Sunday instead. And maybe Faster.

Eric R. Shelton This is one of the single prettiest films a gear-head can watch. The shots, the lighting, the composure... I don't think I've ever seen another movie that can justify so much slow-motion, but it really is well done here to allow the viewer to take in everything about the shot. My only complaint is that it's strictly about motorcycling in America. There are a few shots of BMWs, Ducatis, Triumphs, and Vincents, but that's about it. MotoGP only gets talked about very briefly, as if the filmmakers knew they had to acknowledge it, but couldn't get anybody from MotoGP to participate or didn't care to. They also didn't talk about World Superbike. It's almost all dirt bikes and big, gaudy, chromed cruisers. I almost turned it off during some of the cruiser parts, but the interviewees had good stories, the editing kept me interested, and the parts focused on Bonneville and kids riding was really great. Recommended viewing for American motorcyclists, but there's a whole wide world of riders out there that may find this to be take-it-or-leave-it.

dallas_nyberg If you are looking for a documentary about outlaw motorcycle gangs and all things associated with that side of motorcycling, then this documentary is not for you. What this it is, is a look at the wide variety of ordinary folk who happen to ride bikes. From two year old kids to folk approaching old age. Off roaders, hillclimbers, track racers, drag racers, land speed racers and people who just hit the highway and ride. Beautifully shot motorcycling scenes, intersected with comments and anecdotes from a broad range of riders. I ride a bike, so this movie just fortified my thoughts on why I choose to ride. If you do not ride a motorcycle, but are just a slight bit curious as to what all the fuss is about and as to why there are so many bikes out there, then watch this movie.. it will broaden your horizons and, quite possibly, convert you. One thing is for certain, there are several characters in this movie that you won't soon forget. In particular, a double amputee, who, instead of giving up, decided to ride a converted Harley Davidson on a tour of the World. Truly amazing. This is a nicely put together documentary and well worth a look.

othman-raddadi-254-397792 I do ride, yet I was very skeptic of this movie when a friend proposed a screening of the DVD at his place, I mean don't get me wrong any motorcycle movie to a rider is welcome, but we grew a bit wary of recent motorcycle movies composed of video clips of high jumps and silly interviews... but this one was different, it brought me shivers in my bones, butterflies in my stomach and tears to my eyes then, made me realize how fortunate I am to have found my true passion the minute I bought my first motorcycle 10 years ago, along with the joy and pride of belonging to the purest and most genuine fraternities out there! while other still searching... if you ride, you must watch it, if you don't, please give it a try, it might get across the answers to all non believers to their question, why do we ride?! the two wheel business is more elaborate, popular, and keep growing, despite its factual limitations and dangers! I truly think this movie explain why! I gave it a 9 because it did not try to elaborate the idea from current professional perspective (current moto GP and motocross champions) and why they stick to it despite the enormous pressure (believe me the money is just half the answer) but again, maybe the director wanted us to see it through the eyes of the ordinaries like most of us, so we can relate more to it!
