60 Years and a Day
The
Motocross of Nations is the oldest, most prestigious race in the
sport's organized history. Created shortly after the dark storm clouds
of WWII, this great event has pitted nation against nation on a single
Sunday afternoon since 1947. Each nation battling for national pride
and the coveted Peter Chamberlain Trophy.
On
Sunday, September 23, 2007, the 60th annual Motocross of Nations took
place in Budds Creek, Maryland. Only the second time this storied event
had been held in the USA. With over 40,000 fans from all over the globe
converging on the circuit to see if Team USA could beat back the world
and win the race on their home soil.
The producers of the “The
Great Outdoors” series were present to capture and record it all. They
were granted unprecedented access by the event organizers, giving you
the most up-close images imaginable. "Motocross of Nations: 60 Years
and a Day" is packed with race action and countless interviews with
this sport's greatest heroes.
Watch and listen to commentary
from greats such as DeCoster, Everts, Smets, Emig and more. Listen in
on Ricky Carmichael as he runs the last race of his career. Witness
young Ryan Villopoto put on a performance that will be talked about for
generations. Go behind the lines with Team Belgium, France, South
Africa, and others as these great nations try to win the most storied
race on earth. Witness new World Champion Antonio Cairoli's struggle
with heat, humidity and the American way of motocross life.
This is an epic film that offers up the drama, pageantry and patriotism that is the legendary Motocross of Nations. |
