I had the pleasure of beating Dick Mann, Dave Aldana and Gary Nixon (RIP) on an August night in 1973 at Santa Fe Speedway in Chicago when Aldana took out Buggsy and Gary in turn 1 leaving me and about 6 other novices to race! I think I came in 3rd! LOL!
I was curious about bikes when I was a little kid but after seeing this movie in 71, I was hopelessly addicted. I live, eat, sleep, and breathe motorcycles. Putting the kids on the BMX's at the very beginning was pure genius! Outside of CA, we had never seen that before and it gave us our way to transition to dirtbikes.
What a great movie! It just gives you a good feeling on the inside everytime you watch it. I saw this movie in 1971 when I was 14 and because of it I'm still riding motorcycles almost 40 years later. I thought Malcom Smith was and still is the greatest. What great memories!!
Just caught 1/2 of this on Fuel TV. I haven't seen this movie in decades. Wow does this bring back memories! My first bike a Yamaha mini-enduro which of course came after the Schwinn Sting-Ray that I thought was my motocross bike. Thanks to Evel Knievel and this film, and of course the wild child I was and that still lives inside of me, there has never been a day since 1972 I haven't owned a motorcycle.
Those little guys at 1:04 and 3:43 are rockin those wheelies :)
i dont know why but i get a lump in my throat every time i hear this music ot watch these On Any Sunday Movies...i remember seing it in the theater's when it came out..
Yea B4 the rise of the "Nanny State". B4 "Big Brother" turned into an all powerful, "Big MOTHER". I mean, for kids, OK, yea. Helmets. But adults? It's not so much wearing helmets, it's being forced to. Being told, "Do it, or else". If there were no helmet laws, I bet 99% of most people would still wear helmets. It's common sense. But, Helmets + Seat Belts = $, period. Government doesn't care of you smash your head in on a windshield. They just want the fine/TAX money. Nothing more.
I GREW UP WITH THIS MOVIE.... and the bike that jump the bush in slow mo is a 175cc husqvana 2 stroke i own that bike but mine has a bigger tank for desert racing :)
the mid 70s was a great time- I had a stingray "clone" and turned it into a "bmx" by taking off the fenders, chain guard, swapping out the banana seat for a single seat- but I actually bought a bmx style handlebar. I think it was a short window of time before bmx bikes were manufactured as such-mostly conversions were the only way to go for those first few years in the 70s (at least thats what I remember)
Fantastic film,not just for cycle lovers,but a good period piece that takes me back to my childhood and my little Honda Z-50...thought I was Evel back then. I can remember riding my beautiful little neighbor(and first crush)girl and thinking that I was just the sh** LOL. Great film..puts me in a good mood every time. Take me back to the 60's and 70's PLEASE!
I agree dude! I too had a Z-50- and in 1976 or 77, I jumped by stingray 'clone' conversion to bmx bike on a ramp in the street- completely wiped out and slid down the street on my face. I remember watching Evel Knievel on TV that very night with one eye- the other had a big bandage across it from my wipeout. I was 10 I think. those were great times man-
Man, where to begin? This movie was awesome. Thanks for putting it up, i feel bad i got to watch it without any of the money i payed going to the film maker. I hope that changes one day, Cheers
That's a TT. A flat track in which they race into the infield, through a right turn, over a jump, over another right turn then back onto the oval. It's fun!
happy I am one of the motorcyclists brotherhood!

Screaming inside of me, and laughing out loud
I'm losing contact with the ground, I'm flyin'
Free as the wind, faster than time, reason and rhyme are running behind.
Tasting the sun Feeling the Earth, Knowing my worth and freeing my mind...
On Any Sunday, like the tail of a kite,
Flying and dancing in the wind.
I'd like to break the string and drift out of sight
I may not pass this way again..
I'm Flyin'
