Product Description
This documentary film takes you right into the middle of a Motocross Grand Prix like no other. It's a traditional Thanksgiving event hosted by the Film Industry, and presented to you by Troy Lee Designs. "A Day in the Dirt" brings together movie makers; producers, directors, actors, stuntmen, stuntwomen, and some of the fastest racers in the world; auto racers, mountain bikers, jet skiers, extreme athletes, Motocross and Supercross champions past and present to race and reminisce. Tag along with stuntman, Mike (Mouse) McCoy as he encounters the greats, near greats and not so greats on his quest to complete five of ten events throughout the weekend. He'll ride in the vintage class, the Film Industry GP, two team events, and the mother of them all, the two and a half hour "Coup de Grace". That's over seven hours on a bike! These races are "just for fun", but when the flag drops, it's wide open. Bragging rights are on the line. Experience with him the camaraderie, the reminiscing, the broken bones, and the broken egos. Experience the pain and the passions that dirt bikers everywhere know and love. Experience "A Day in the Dirt" the race.... the movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Dirt Bikers Dream Day, August 25, 2006

By	H. Bates "hbates1" (Oregon) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What if you could spend a weekend with dirt bike legends from several different decades and several types of racing, along with some movie stars, stuntment, and other folks you may have only read about... and what if you could actually get on a huge track and race around with them? And what if the whole event was just for fun and there was NO money or prizes involved? Once a year, an event just like this happens for real.

If you enjoyed On Any Sunday, or Dust to Glory, you owe it to yourself to check this little gem out. I was skeptical since it's been out since 2002 and there was little or no buzz about it. But this by FAR beats most of the "moto" hyped DVDs out there because it focuses on the people of the sport and industry and the relationships they have with each other, and the cameraderie they all share with each other young and old alike.

The pit bike racing is fun to watch, and it's great to see McGrath and RJ and Wardy again, along with multiple clips from On Any Sunday... Loved the team racing too.

If DVDs like Motocross Mayhem are your cup of tea, then this DVD will probably seem a little boring. If you have to have blaring metal music with your dirt, then don't bother with this. But if you love On Any Sunday and wish there were something like it but a little more current, then this is an hour and a half that you will enjoy. Plus the soundtrack they use with it will not become dated in a few years.

Both my wife and I greatly enjoyed this and have even talked about finding out when the event is held every year and going to see it, and maybe even taking part in it.

Every dirt biker should have this in their DVD library.

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT RECOMMENDED, May 24, 2008

By	Gordy Rider (East Point, KY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This turkey is NOT RECOMMENDED for children or ladies or anyone with a sense of propriety. Profanity should have been edited out. It was completely uncalled for, it ruined the entire production, and it only serves to reinforce the public's perception of bikers as foulmouthed louts. This is a misnamed turkey; it's nothing about a day out riding in the dirt. That would have been interesting, but only if produced by someone with editing talent. What a disappointing DOG.

1.0 out of 5 stars Only if you're DEEP into motorcross, April 28, 2007

By	H. Wassenaar "Bookie" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you're really, REALLY, into motorcross then this might be for you. Supposedly follows Mouse McCoy the motorcycle legend and stuntman. Well, McCoy dashes in and out of the movie but following him?? Nah, not really. Movie covers five races during a Thanksgiving weekend that all look very very similar (ie on a dirt track). You won't follow McCoy during the race (ie you won't know where he stands during the race). Just a collection of motorcross shots and sloppy interviews due to poor questioning. No onboard camera shots, no aerial shots. Boring, boring, boring. Boring
