Motocross racer Billy Robinson (Robert Krantz) has become a top rider in the business. When Billy goes back to his hometown, he is met with adoration by most, though some are resentful of the successful youth. For a local competition, Billy is pitted against his best buddy, Rick Melon (Don Michael Paul), who is arguably just as skilled, but hasn't had his big break yet. Will the race take its toll on Billy and Rick's longtime friendship, or will the two work things out, despite their rivalry? Read More Read Less

Lenin P The only winners here are the stunt drivers. Everyone else, including us (the movie watchers) are all losers. It was Meh. Definitely an 80s movie, has all your typical traits as well. This isn't a very good 80s movie though. The film wasn't even really about the character Billy Robinson, it was more about his friend. The story is real simple, we have two friends at odds because one of them stole his groupie girlfriend and the other friend tries to pay him back by beating him at a big motocross race. Insert your occasional obstacle, insert your potential love interest, bunch of motocross action, and end movie. This film felt like it was shot on an extremely anemic budget. Felt so cheap for some reason. It never dragged and moves along nicely, so that's a positive. This film is all about the motocross scenes. The stunt drivers were really good and it was cool to watch. This is the type of film you watch when you're sick at home, you're up early and need to kill some time. It's watchable, just not very good. That being said, I would recommend watching it, but just for the stunts. This gets a LennyReviewz Score: 4/10 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member pretty good but a little dated now Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Perfect for that motocross or dirt bike guy..
