June 14, 2010 - Denver,
CO - Commemorating the 30th Anniversary of the first time an
American won the United States Grand Prix of Motocross, and coinciding
with the AMA National MX series returning to the Thunder
Valley Motocross facility Lakewood, Colorado, is the premiere of the
documentary
Carlsbad USGP: 1980 - One Day Of Magic. The movie premiere will be
held at the
Landmark Mayan Theatre Thursday, June 24th with a special reception
starting at 6:30 p.m., followed by the film at 8 p.m.


Hosted by motocross hero Chuck Sun, who won the USGP himself in 1981,
the film covers everything from early Carlsbad USGP history to the 1980
season leading up to that historic day when an unknown privateer named
Marty Moates stunned the
world by beating the "crowned heads of European motocross" at their own
game. "Denver has always been one of my favorite riding areas having won
AMA National events here in the past," says Sun. "As the second
American to win the fabled Carlsbad USGP, I really wanted to share this
inspirational story with the racing enthusiasts of Colorado."


Sun's 1981 Motocross des Nations teammate and former
Supercross/motocross champion Donnie Hansen will be joining the AMA Hall
Of Famer to help kick off the movie along with Mark "The Bomber"
Barnett. "Many of
Colorado's top 50 riders are expected to attend, including Arlo
Englund," adds Sun.


"With the AMA National MX in town, expect many more surprise appearances
that make this a must-attend premiere party! Thanks to the support of
Doug Gagnon and Vickery Motosports in Denver, we are excited to bring
the movie premiere to
the Landmark Mayan Theatre," said Sun.


"Special thanks to all the Denver-area sponsors for making this special
local premiere possible, including AHRMA, Donnie Hansen Motocross
Academy/DHMA.com, Doug Gagnon, Elite Motorsports Of Loveland, Motogear
Outlet, MX1 Suspension,
Performance Cycle Of Colorado, Tequila Chamucos, TUbliss and Vickery
Motorsports," concludes Sun. Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">
