"I did enjoy this film, however it was a little too much "MTV" stylee footage for my tastes--you know, where they cut every 2-3 seconds to convey "maximum action". The Baja 1000 needs NO enhancement!! What I wanted to see was more SUSTAINED footage of the vehicles in action. Yes, there is some of that, but not enough. Just like concert videos and other sports footage, WE WANT TO SEE THE ACTION!!! that means NOT cutting back and forth like a mainiac, hey, this is just because I care man."

One of the best movies of all time

"When I took my wife to see this movie, I was excited to see what looked like an exciting movie about motorcycles racing through Baja. She was excited about an evening together, and thought she'd suffer through the movie for the sake of the relationship.

Turns out, she enjoyed it as much as me! This isn't just a movie about gearheads driving through the desert, it's the story of the hundreds of people and families involved in the race, how it affects them, the challenges they face, and overcoming obstacles. You'll laugh with the racers as they joke around, hide sniffles as Malcom works with the orphans, share frustration with The Weatherman, and white-knuckle whatever's handy as the trucks and bikes race through crowds of people or along the cliffs, and get entirely caught up in the intensity of the race action across the beautifully dangerous Baja landscape.

This movie documents the triumph of the human spirit in the harshest of conditions. Definitely worth seeing, many times."

Good clean fun in the dirt!

"For those of us who've ridden Baja this is a reminder of why we do so. For those who haven't this is just the thing to show you why you should. High speed action, adventure, guts, and glory all wrapped up in one great movie. Dana is rapidly approaching the skill level of his father and his movies are having just as much impact as On Any Sunday and Endless Summer. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who loves riding, racing and the desert! Two thumbs up!"

Astonishingh Documentary on Baja 1000

"Being a 10 year MX veteran from back in the late 70's and early 80's, I thought I knew something about Baja. I was wrong, this is an amazing race beautifully filmed.

I played the video for a group of friends one day over dinner, none of whom are involved in off-road sports and all were transfixed to the very end. My wife, who absolutely hates motorcycles, nonetheless talked about this video non-stop on the long drive home after watching it with our friends. For the first time EVER, I think maybe, just maybe, my wife found a spark of interest in off-road racing."
