Storyline

A motorcycle saga that chronicles the personal journey of two brothers who overcome emotional and physical obstacles to achieve success in the competitive world of Supercross racing. The brothers' conflicts are magnified by their different life choices and their decision to become competitors and rivals. KC Carlyle is a more cautious rider than his younger brother Trip, who has more natural talent but takes too many risks. When KC gets an all-expenses paid factory--corporate sponsored--ride, a rift forms between the two brothers. Trip is forced to go at it alone, becoming a privateer--a rider without a sponsor. But when a career threatening crash ends Trip's Supercross career, he and KC realize that they must put aside their conflicts, and work together to help KC defeat the world's greatest Supercross champions.

Just Bad

I'm going to keep this short and simple because I have to move on to more important things, this movie was awful with extremely bad acting. I hated every second of it and left before the half-way mark, don't waste your money on the DVD. I have to keep writing more before IMDb can accept my comment so here goes nothing. I hated the actors, not that i have anything against them, it's just that their acting was the worst that I have ever seen in this movie. Maybe I've being unfair to them, maybe their acting sucked because of the crap they had to read, so let me touch on the writers in a couple of sentences. The stuff they wrote was pure crap-the worst of its kind. These were lines you'd expect to hear in bad 80s porn movies. I think I lost all faith in teenage sport movies (LMAO) after watching this one! Word to the wise: stay away from this movie and just watch taxi driver.
