That's my favorite of the early TGO flicks.

Is there any chance you could rip it and upload it to youtube or something? I've been searching for this movie forever and no one seems to have it anymore. It's my favorite MX movie ever.

Loved that original one! Especially where DeCoster said it doesn't take the fastest bike to get the holeshot it takes you to see yourself in the front. The whole video really captures the essence of the sport and it's intensity.

This movie holds a special place in my heart.


Like clockwork, every single race day morning, my dad would cook my brother and I eggs and bacon while this played on our trailer TV.

He always said we needed to study those guys and get pumped before the motos......


I had no idea back then, but memories like that are the ones I hold most sacred.


What I wouldn't give for just one more morning like that.....

Am sure I have got this as avi file, how to upload a file that big to YouTube? Uploaded a smaller file and that was a pain

Which TGO is the one where the narrator has a southern accent and they showcase Bubb'as return in the 125 class?

Maybe it's nostalgia kicking in, but mx (racing) was so much cooler/interesting back in the early 00's.

I know its usually impossible to have an honest conversation about Stew, but i really do always wonder what was the trigger that made it turn out this way. Leaving aldon? His mental game not strong enough? The change to 4 strokes? i just always think its got to be something. Maybe im wrong, but almost like TP199 with his freestyle endeavors that is why he never won a lot of titles by devoting time to that sector of mx. Just something i ponder from time to time and would like to know some of your thoughts on what changed his career. I always thought back when i was 16-17 year old he would blow every record off the books.

One thing I notice about the Bubba 125 days - every time he was interviewed, he had a huge smile on his face. He seemed to be having enormous fun on that bike. Once he graduated to the big bike class, the smile seemed to disappear.

Maybe its because i was in my young twentys so i wasnt paying as close attention, but i agree something changed and it was never the same again. Also a lot more talent to me now days. A lot more kids who started young with the best equipment etc just like any sport now. they start out with the best trainers and camps 24-7.

We look back at it now, and realize how amazing that was to witness. What people on here don't realize is how much hate and booing RC was getting all season that year! People were calling him a traitor for going to Honda.


I was at A1 Opener in 2002 & during the opening ceremonies RC literally was getting booed out of the stadium! Then KO'ed himself in the main. That was also JS259 first Pro Race he was the fastest one on the track, but just couldn't keep it on two wheels. Travis Preston won the main and didn't even know he had won the race.

Such an awesome movie. I'm lucky enough to have all of the TGO series on DVD, took a fair few years to track them all down mind!

If you haven't seen the TGO's from 02-06 I suggest you make it your priority to watch them!

Call me crazy, but I don't think RC would have beaten JS in the 125 class. It just seemed like Bubba could do anything he wanted on that bike. A match made in heaven.

Completely agree about the greatness of the 90s and early 00s.

2003. The one I can't find anywhere. I would buy a DVD if I could find it.

My first post here, I have been thinking about the time Rc laped the hole field up until KDub in second or third place...

But I cant remember on what TGO It was on:-)

Was it that race or a later one where Preston rolled the finish line and dumped the clutch when getting the checkered flag and when asked about it on the podium he said he didn't know how to throw a big whip so he thought he'd just throw up a big roost?

The race he lapped the whole field was Millville 2006 which was one of the worst mud races ever.

^^Think DV finished second in that one, but for sure could be wrong.

All TGO's were awesome, but I think I like the first the best but for being shorter than the others. The opening still put the hairs on my neck up "Supercross is like a ballet; the outdoors are like a fistfight" ~ Bruce Stjernstrom

TGO: The Constant War 2005 has gota be my personal favorite.

That was a big season, RC's first outdoor campaign on a Suzuki, coming off a 24-0 perfect season in 04 and a successful 05 supercross season. The arrival of James Stewart on a KX250 against a pack of 450's. The film captured it all perfectly. The kits and bikes were beautiful that year, makes for some awesome visuals.
The ending where John Dowd announces his retirement... makes me well up every time!

I must have watched it well over 50 times now but it's still a brilliant watch 11 years on.
