sharetheres one called motocrossed...it has riley smith in it
sharethere's a similar one from the '80s called "Winners Take All". It too had the fake bike brand, the spoiled factory star with a bad attitude, and the whole 'underdog privateer makes the big leagues' theme along with the requisite cheesy love story involving a female mechanic/coach/rider. Disney's "Motocrossed" is another one with much of the same elements, only done in a family friendly, G-rated manner, but with a gender-swapping theme where a talented female rider races with the boys, posing as her twin brother. Of course, by the end of the film, she earns a factory ride with a fictional manufacturer and has a budding relationship with a fellow rider who spends most of the movie thinking she's a guy, making for some interesting scenes of the poor guy squirming from the obvious sexual tension between him and his riding buddy. Come the think of it, Motocross'd has pretty some complex sexual themes happening for a Disney flick...

shareYikes. Guy comes in asking about a good motocross movie, yet On Any Sunday wasn't mentioned. Awesome stuff. Dust to Glory is amazing also, but it's about Baja not MX.
shareAll of the above mentioned movies are included but the is one made for tv movie that was left out. It starred Gil Gerard, the star of tv's Buck Rogers. The name of the movie was "Storming Home" about an aging motocrosser who by his daughters inspiration decides to give it one last try at Pro racing. It was a prett good flick, well written but as with all of the other ones,it was written by people who wanted to showcase the sport more than tell a good story.
Keep an eye out in late 2008 or 2009 for "Racers Edge" my attempt at telling a good story that has motocross as a backdrop.
