It looks like a new "Winner Take All" but it's cool to know that RC and and friends are in it, and the track I ride at the most in Cali sunck in some how. :)

I was at the Vegas SX with Speedy last year when they filmed one of the segments with a bogus race scene. They had the whole crowd get into it.

DId you see me? :)

I finally saw it, the girls are much hotter than those in Winner Take All,

was surprised that RC was on the CR, I didn't realize they had been working on this thing that long.

they should have put a team hurricane bike, or mabye Rick Melon's bike from the last race in Winner Take All in the back of a shot as a tribute.

Please tell me that no one busts out a backflip in the middle of a SX race! Remember, that's what happened in the BMX movie RAD.

LOL, Tim.

I will definintely see the movie. I am expecting the action to be more realistic than Charlie's Angels II.

FWIW, I think they also filmed some outdoor action in the qualifiers at Glen Helen last year. There was a bike running #7 for a few laps.

Did that guy in the clip say "Dude, they have bigger engines and better torques???"

I smell cheese. It looks very unrealistic. Gimme "On Any Sunday" any day of the week.

Click to expand...

I thought I heard "Dude, they have bigger engines and better ports"

Still, a cheesey line if ever there was one. But if the movie puts SX (and off-road riders in general) in a good light, I can live with a few cheesy lines.

As long as the movie is not to cheesy, I'm hoping this movie will introduce the sport to more people. Get younger generations to get invloved and maybe perhaps make the sport more mainstream. Thinking optimisticly maybe motocross and supercross will get more airtime on TV. Maybe better event payouts for priveteers, and benifit everyone in the sport.
