There was no better, more complete movie than this one. Even better with the extra Steve McQueen footage added later.

Intrduced more people to motorcycling from theaters than any other.

And the first video that had that Seth Enslow dude was good; but I threw mine away after a few viewings. Same old shit jump and crash videos. Why didn't they try it on a hardly no suspension Harley like the Evel one; (R I P Evel)??????? Chicken shits. Like Deegan said in CN, he's scoopin up all the two strokes he can. Frickin lightweights.

The original, the best of all time. Only motorcycle video I can still watch over and over.

Old, maybe; real people and real racing; you bet ya. Should be retired-NEVER!!!!

ON ANY SUNDAY. THE GREATEST EVER.

I’d second that.

That movie, my local Honda dealer being a mile away and a trip to Unadilla hooked me.

It was cool to see Malcolm in an interview recently.

If you have seen Bruce and Dana Browns surf movies I'm sure you will agree that they are some of the best movie makers that have ever lived.

I've never surfed in my life but loved "Endless Summer".

Still key up "OAS" every 6 months or so.

And how many moms watched OAS and said "yeah, ok you try dirt bike racing." How many moms watch one of today's videos and say "no way in hell are you getting a dirt bike!"

That's why they sell 75% less dirt bikes today.

Yep, Endless Summer is a great mid 60's surf film by Brown. I've got a copy of that too but I haven't watched it in a long time. I should dust it off.

ES2 is an excellent movie as well as Step into liquid. You have to see those guys riding the hydroplane surf boards.

Yeah Kent; us old schooler's, back in the heyday guys.......I started at the first of the month and this site is waaay better than the others for "bench racing".......and just fricking speaking your mind.....Heard from another site an ex-National guy from Nor Cal was here; BobbyM was the shit......I was just a fuked up novice and watching BobbyM with Shultz, Magoo, Richter......did some Cycle News local shit when Dale Brown was the man.....Dale was a great guy..

I'm a "newbie" myself......Again, a fuked up novice.

Welcome, just be careful if you wander off the block into some of the other neighborhood's here on the mean board. They get love to pounce on new guys.

A couple years ago my son got to watch OAS for the first time.

He was glued to it. Just sat silent watching the whole thing.

Later he said it was probably the best movie he's ever seen.

Smart kid!

"On ANy Sundy Revisited" is great. Done a few years back and catches you up with most of the guys on the original. Pick it up if you can.

I was at the Peoria TT when they were filming OAS. Cool thing was they didn't take over the place. Just a couple guys running around with cameras. Unless you were aware of what they were doing you wouldn't have noticed. I saw them again that year somewhere, either an Inter-AM or Tran-AM at Elkhorn I think. DAmn, getting old is tough on the memory.

Well, odds are I'll probably stay right here. Not to sound like a curmudgeon, but motocross of today isn't really something I can relate to. Thanks for the welcome!

Amen to that....like comparing the old Plymouth Hangtown to the one at Prarie Shitty.....

On Any Sunday was certainly pioneering and an excellent movie, but I actually prefer Dust to Glory. The story is cohesive and gripping, and the filming is awesome.

Bruce Brown's son made both Step Into Liquid and Dust to Glory, and both are incredible.

You could definitely tell he was influenced by the old man. That dry, dead on, observational humor takes it up a level as far as being fun to watch.
