Up late last night and re-runs of Rocky 4 seemed to be on every channel. Thinking about it, there are no major MX films out there. If you could have a major motion picture made...What riders story would you use and who would play the lead?

I think Henry's story would be the best.

To hell and back again, starring Ryan Gosling.
But Kenny has to win a race first.

Always thought Sam Worthington would be a perfect Chad Reed, tough.

Kenny’s story isn’t finished yet but I’m sure it would be a great movie if it’s ever made into one.

Travels from Germany to USA, the success, the injury, and the return to success. I’d watch it.

James. Coming from nothing and dealing with racial issues all along the way. And being one of the best to ever do it, and probably the most raw speed anyone has ever had.

Read the script, and the end really sucks.

James Stewart

What he faced as an African American climbing to the top.


Ken Roczen would be something too.

From strictly a racing fan perspective I might agree but It looks like James is a very happy man these days so to me the ending would be nice.

Stewart's story would make an excellent film, but I'll take McGrath. Or at least a new Terrafirma!

Cool

Reed has a good story. Travel, leaving home to chase the dream, starting a family abroad, starting his own team...
