on any sunday

[zedsaid]

So i'm watching the documentary "On Any Sunday".  On the road coarse, there's a line of dirt on the corner (looks like it's put there to mark the turn?)  Were they insane putting sand on the track?  it's just insane.  and the tires were so skinny!!!

I love that film, but with the music sometimes I think I'm watching an "Emmanuelle" movie instead 

Off Topic:
+1 on the Edward Abbey quote BTW
Carry on

I think it was probably oil dry.

I think it was probably oil dry.

and tons of it...

those old bikes liked to leave their dino juice all over the track and that was before the days of oil retaining lowers.

Thats an amazing documentary.

But yeah that music is right out of soft porn or something.

Dust to Glory is Very good as well.

Yup, like that...

And oil dry is one thing, but don't you throw that down, sop it up, and clean it off? 



And as to the music, it's much more suited to Endless Summer, than a motorcycle doc.

ok, anybody critiquing "on any sunday" is required to post whether they were even born when it was made.

Nope, but then again, i'm not critiquing it just looks nuts to me... Maybe sand is preferable to oil, but i don't want either on a racetrack, particularly in a corner.  It had to effect times.

Not that i've ever been on a racetrack.

i was eleven when it was in theaters, but probably didn't see it until I was in my early twenties.

I love the music during the beginning of the flat track segment. A bit overly dramatic. But cool nonetheless.

[Speeddog]

Yep, that was indeed oil-dry.
Things were a bit less formal back in the day... so, not necessarily a clean up afterward.
Riders were men not sissy little schoolgirls (I keed, I keed). 

Best moto movie evar!
Sound track is like Endless Summer 'cause Bruce Brown was director/producer/narrator of that movie too. 

I especially enjoyed Malcolm Smith zipping in and out of the gaps in the barbed wire fence. 

<and yes, I'm old enough to critique it  >

But what's with Lawill dragging his right toe on a turn early in that segment? Looks like he's got his heel on the peg and is rotating his foot down to the track. Was it just getting jealous of all the ground time his left foot got on flat tracks?
