When I was a kid I had my parents rent this movie so much from a local video store (remember those?!) that they actually offered to let us buy it. I also worked at Best Buy from 06-2010 and bought this on DVD when it was released. It was the only copy my store got and it did not get another one after mine haha.

(We were kids) and I remember my brother and I would rent "winners take all" and another movie weekly. I cant remember the name of it but it was a Baja buggy/truck movie from the late 80s early 90s where the dude was a drunk and raced buggies and then trucks in the 1000. Anyone remember the name?

I remember one scene where a buggy got to close to a bike, poss in a water splash and the rider fell, jumps to his feet and throws the middle finger at the buggy driver... Not thought of that in years though...
I wonder how many moto movies there have been...

Little Fauss and big Haussy. Actually pretty good as motorcycle movies go.
Race With The Devil. Peter Fonda on a 74 KX 125 or 250 ? Expansion chamber with stinger. Good stuff. I was about 11 yrs old and the devil worship stuff scared the shit out of me.

Same story here, we rented this movie every week! I would say the first time I watched it when I was 11 was a life changing moment for me. Who knows what I would have spent the rest of my life doing?

In 2005 my girlfriend at the time bought me a DVD copy from Best Buy, I have no clue how she found it. Another girlfriend bought me a DVD copy of Rad for Christmas years later.

I actually (mildly) trolled Broc Glover on Facebook recently. Someone tagged him in a picture of him from a Magazine taking his award of a Toyota truck for being rider of he year or something in the early to mid 80s. I posted in the comments "That's cool but Rick Melon got the girl Carl." He responded...pretty cool moment.

Iv got the issue of Dirt Bike where they test the sidewinder, it was pretty trick for the time. As for Winners Take All, loved that movie, yes it is cheesy but it was the 80s dammit "Rick, rick, rick Mellon, mellon, mellon aaarrrrgggghhhh"

Still love this movie and still watch it every couple years or so. They did a interview with Bad Billy,Goose and the director, you can watch it on YouTube. Really cool to hear some behind the scenes stories. I have to say this was my favorite movie when I was young, it really brings back good memories when I watch it even now

I've been obsessed with Winner's Take All movie locations lately and found a few that hadn't been posted on the internet before (at least I hadn't seen them anywhere). Most notably, the Hurricane Cycle intro/promo where Goose and Wally get into a fight with the team riders. That was shot at what is today Le Chêne French Cuisine at 12625 Sierra Highway near Santa Clarita, California. 

Obviously the sidecar scene was filmed in Chino but in particular when they're riding along the railroad tracks, I think that's between G and F street and then they swing left away from the tracks at 5190 F Street in Chino.
