Movie Reviews of Faster
Movie Review: Faster, if you want to understanding racing
Summary: 5 Stars
Hands down, the best documentary I've ever seen (regardless of subject) is Mark Neale's "Faster." The subtitle is "Two wheels. 200MPH. Every man for himself." That pretty much tells the story of what this movie's subject matter might be. However, the real story is the people who ride, maintain, and write about these machines and riders.
Neale incorporates the current war on wheels between kid-phenom Valentino Rossi and his near enemy, rival, Max Biaggi, as a vehicle for examining how vicious and unreal the battle at 200mph can be when it's done at a world class level. As a side show, riders like Gary McCoy and John Hopkins demonstrate the character traits/flaws that create super riders in the world's most dangerous sport.
The incredible insight offered by past-greats, Mick Doohan, Kevin Schwantz, Wayne Rainey, Kenny Roberts and Barry Sheene, provides something between sports commentary, personal insight, and some of the funniest dry humor ever put on screen.
I've watched "Faster" a half-dozen times and I still get something new from on each viewing. I own very few videos, but this one is an absolue necessity for anyone who drives ANYTHING and can imagine motorsports as "sport."
Movie Review: Everything you hoped it would be.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're into motorcycle roadracing and haven't been living under a rock, then you've heard about "Faster" by now. It naturally draws all of the inevitable comparisons to the immortal "On Any Sunday," though its singular focus, effective editing, and engrossing backstory development make this the definitive roadracing movie. Like O.A.S., it has a beautiful knack of presenting the material in a manner that both interests and educates those with little prior knowledge of the subject while still including everything necessary to keep the most hardcore roadracing afficionado hooked. If you're reading this review, then you already want it. I'm here to tell you to cough up the cash and buy a copy. You won't be dissappointed.
See you at Seca in July!!!

Movie Review: Experienced sportbike riders will love this
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a well done documentary that brings you up to speed with the world of MotoGP racing. It has excellent interviews from champions both past and present. An excellent amount of track footage. You'll walk away amazed at how these guys can handle these hyper machines and the variations of how they accomplish this control.
You'll also see how even the craziest/fastest/nuttiest sport rider you know wouldn't hold a candle to these professionals. Riding these machines takes courage, sure. But there's an immense amount of skill required to pilot one of these MotoGP bikes consistently around the track. This video captures that element of this sport.
Watch this, then read Valentino's book. You'll have a great inside view of the sport.
Movie Review: Sums up everything I've ever felt about racing
Summary: 5 Stars
This documentary I have to say sums up how I've felt about racing all my life. Calling this a movie is a far cry from the truth, though. It really is a documentary on MotoGP motorcycle racing, and it embodies everything about it.
Watching this gave me new-found respect for the MotoGP riders. (AMA also, although they are a different breed) Every single time I watch this, it gets my adrenaline rushing from the camera angles and the data being thrown at you. You can really lose yourself in this if you're a rider who has experienced that fine line between riding and racing.
The human aspect just adds that much more to it, with the rivalries that flare up into fierce competition.
Movie Review: Do you MOTO GP?
Summary: 5 Stars
Ive only been riding sport bikes for 5 months now but I have already caught the bug. I saw ads for this movie at my local dealerships and heard alot about it thru magazines. I decided to buy it and after the first 5 minutes I was hooked. This is an excellent movie for anyone that is interested in motorcycle racing be it on an amature or professional level. It opens your eyes to how competetive and serious these individuals take their job (and passion). The bonus DVD has the most exciting footage. It follows MOTO GP into 2003 with Colin Edwards and Nicky Hayden both riders from the US. Definately pick this one up, you wont be dissapointed.
