Awesome in '72, and still is in '08
Like a lot of other reviewers, I first saw the movie in '72, at the theater. I really related then to the opening shots of the kids racing Stingrays in the dirt, which we did in our neighborhood! As I got older, started riding motorcycles in the dirt, and watched the movie again, I started to appreciate all of the nuances and the other riders spotlighted in the film, especially Malcolm Smith. He is truly one of the legends of off road racing; all off road riders can learn things from this guy. The other one was Mert Lawwill. After he retired from racing, he helped develop off road suspension systems for Mountain Bikes in the 90's.
This movie is a classic for any off road enthusiast to have in their collection, or for anyone who enjoys a nostalgic look back.
