Just finished watching dust to glory twice over the last couple of nites. What a great movie.
It was directed by Dana Brown whom some of you old waxheads may know as the man behind Step into liquid & Endless summer 2 - Son of Bruce Brown of the original Endless Summer fame.
It is about the baja 1000 race thru Mehico & has some truly OMG moments with offroaders mms away from taking out other spectator vehicles & spectators. What a race.
It focused on a couple of Honda Pro teams & a solo rider - bloody intense riding for 15 -17 hrs flt out. Really makes you respect the skills some of these guys & gals have.
The biggest thing that really stood out was the way it could never ever be run like that over here with our regulations & beaucracy. Pretty loose is a mild term for the marshalling. I recorded it off Rialto so any of you with Sky might be able to catch it again to record or if really keen I can lend you a copy I made. (for copyright reasons I can't or won't make copies of it).
