First let me say I've been watching Supercross since about the mid 1980s when Rick Johnson and David Bailey were banging bars.As a fan and former pit crew member of an MX race team I was excited to hear about this movie. Especially so when I saw real MXers were consulted and used. It was only a matter of having not had a chance to see it until recently. They pumped it up at the races for two years, a lot of industry people involved, I figured it would be good no matter what....Of course the story is thin, the actors were weak, and the realism often questionable. But I would have been willing to suspend those things just to enjoy the movie about a sport I love.I was even willing to grant them the leeway of putting a relative unknown into a Factory ride with Nami racing, skipping the Lites class altogether. In this case all they needed to do was claim that KC could have raced in Europe or something, or make the entire case slightly younger and claim that he jumped into the fold from amateur racing at 19-20. After all Yamaha's Josh Hill has stepped into the mix on a 450cc SX machine and won races this season as an 18 year old rookie.But far and away the most moronic thing was the fictional Nami Racing being upset that KC won. I happen to know for a fact that as much as a factory wants a champion, they are not going to begrudge a new guy winning. If anything, this in fact makes the bike look even better that an unknown rider could go out and spank the other factories on it.....you cannot buy that kind of publicity and proving....The entire notion of "blocking" as it is portrayed is nonsense. Team Yamaha is not going to tell Josh Hill to pull over so Chad Reed can go by, and they are not going to tell Hill to take out Kevin Windham so Reed is not "bothered" by him. If your top guy cannot win without someone blocking, he is not going to win at all. I'm not sure where the inspiration was for this other than to create controversy and give KC an excuse to quit the factory ride........Certainly they could have come up with a better idea to give KC a reason to quit Nami. A fight with Rowdy to create tension between the two would have been better. As it was the Rowdy role was weak at best and undeveloped.They also managed to somehow fail to capture power and grace of SX/MX racing. This seems almost impossible considering Speed Channel manages to catch it every week at the track with no script. And thousands of MX/SX videos have captured since the dawn of racing. The sound effects were odd at times, and did not help convey anything other then racket, when they could have been used to enhance.I am willing to suspend belief for movies more often than not. But with this one I had a hard time understanding why those choices were made. Especially considering they are major plot points that drive the entire story...... in this case they drive the story right into the face of a huge triple and leave you wanting a rewrite....

All I can say is bravo. After the final scene in which a SPOILER HAPPENED THAT I CANNOT SAY OR ELSE I WILL GET BLACKLISTED, and the end credits began to roll, I sat in my seat, then stood up slowly, as the people in the theater scuffled to the nearest exit, and began to clap slowly, with each clap my motion growing stronger and faster, until I was suddenly clapping what sounded like a thunderstorm. Yes, Aaron Carter stole my heart from his first line WHICH I CANNOT REPEAT HERE, to his last breath... no! I Don't think Aaron Carter dies, because he doesn't... unless that's a spoiler too... so maybe he does die? Oh who cares! The matter of the fact is that Supercross entertains on levels that modern cinema has not even come close to (if only more American cinema captured the fantastic voyages as seen in the Bionicle movies)and leaves the audience in a state of introspection. Many people say they gained insight after watching Requiem for a Dream, but nay I say to those people. To truly find oneself, one must watch Supercross.

This movie was fun. I feel bad for the hardcore Supercross fans though, since a lot of the details on the bikes were really sloppily done. That is the directors or editors part. Do some research before you put that in the movie. Other than that, some have really spoken up about how bad the acting was in this movie. What? Its not Saving Private Ryan, its a sports movie driven mainly by teens and twenty somethings. The two actors Mike Vogel and Steve Howey do a good job playing brothers trying to survive in the sport of supercross. There love interest are equally appealing. It is a fun movie a couple of things left you scratching your head like what happened to the Carlyles father? I will chalk it up to again, bad editing. This movie is on par with its predecessor Winners take all , an equally entertaining supercross flick. Fun if you are young and into the sport. Bad if you are an old man watching it with your young kids or real hardcore supercross fan.

I think that this movie is a good one for motor cross fans and kids. It's something that's not worth paying 10 dollars for at the movies, but it is enjoyable if you are into XXX sports. I am into it and I thought the stunts were pretty cool, but there was no real plot to it. There was but it wasn't like fast and the furious where there's mystery and suspense. However, if you want to see steve howey in a different light than definitely see it. He was great, and I think he has a lot of potential as an actor. He was completely different than his van character on Reba. He was serious about what he was doing and you can tell that he loved what he was doing. I hope to see more of him in other movies because he's really talented. Overall I give it a 3 out of 10 stars.
