from walnut creek,caDate Reviewed: March 29, 2001
Strengths: A great movie. The reference to Dave's mother's passport is her dream to take a trip to Europe or the Far East and she tells this to Dave to let him know that he shouldn't give up on his dream. A lesson for all of us. I watch this movie several times a year-usually when its raining. Every biker should own this movie.Weaknesses: The Preppie fratboy doesn't get his ass kicked often enough.Bottom Line: No excuses for not owning this one if you ride. Also helps to explain our obession to our "significant" others.

Weaknesses: SmokingBottom Line: The best movie ever. Taped this movie 10 years ago and watch it every time I need a boost. Cannot work out the reference to Daves' mother's passport, any clues. Who was the sprinter (body double) following the semi, it certainly wasn't Dave. You want wont a REFUND if you hire it, my favourite part. 'Refund, Refund".
Favorite Trail: The Oaks at night
Duration Product Used: More than 3 years
Bike Setup: Manitou FS circa 1995

Strengths:
Motivating, real acting and Italian roadie stuffWeaknesses:
Typical happy endingBottom Line: Gets you all psyched up (or inspired) about Italian bikes and road racing/riding. Not only that, but it's also funny and well written. Def. a classic - no serious cyclist should be w/o one!

from Sunnyvale,CADate Reviewed: September 4, 1999
Weaknesses:
noneBottom Line: This is the greatest movie ever. Even my girlfriend likes it. It only has road riding but hey it's 20 years old. It is funny and entertaining throughout the movie. My favorite scene is when he says he has to train and they show him riding rollers in the rain and his out of shape dad looks at him through the window of his work and just shakes his head. this movie is so good. Go rent it next time you go by a video store.
