Movie Reviews of The Six-Day Bicycle Races
Movie Review: the six day bicycle races
Summary: 5 Stars
If you love bicycle race history and interveiws with past stars you will love this. There is some excellent vintage footage. I can't believe pro team "sports" have taken over the public's interest. After watching this video you will want to experience the Madison first hand. The thrill of the race the characters and the culture surrounding these times is captured in this video and the companion book.
Summary of The Six-Day Bicycle Races
Discover the original American form of bicycling racing. Re-live the excitement of movie stars, gangsters, and the best-paid athletes in the US on a journey that takes you from the glory years of american cycling through to the last throes of a once-great sport. This film traces the history of this completely forgotten sport from its early days in the 1880's through its sad demise in the 1950's. Over 40 hours of interviews with riders, supporters, family members and historians bring to life to the rich tapestry which was the Six-Day Bicycle Race. Narrated by award winning author and television sports journalist Frank Deford, this film brings to life the color and excitement of an era when a bike rider could make in six days what his father might earn in six years. More than 10 years in the making, the Six-Day Bicycle Race is a film that brings together the largest known collection of photographs, archival footage and personal recollections by and of people long since passed away.Documentary DVD Video
