Little Faus and Big Halsy....The Citizen Cane of the DT1 world, a cinematic tour'd force unmatched even by Marjoe Gortners immortal blockbuster. 'Sidewinder One' as the epitome of filmed motocross greatness.

agreed, he was in a few of my favorites movies, like Bonney&Clyde and Groundhog Day, and one i saw in the late 1970's set in WW2 about some Alied soldiers trying to get some circus elephants out of someware in Europe to someware else... hannibal something? i was a kid when i saw it...
anyone remember a 1970's dodgey 'B' grade horror flick about a scientist who has some black guys head sewn onto his shoulders (now he has 2 heads), while on the run from the cops he ends up at Saddleback Pk racing MotorCross bikes... and wins the race
i've saw it on TV ages ago..
anyway Kelvin Franks told me they made the MX parts of movie during one of his CRC meetings, the movie directors asked all the riders to let the stunt man (with 2 heads) pass them and then they should crash out trying to re-pass... Kelvin was in the movie dressed in white waving the checkered flag when 2 heads won..
Kelvin also once told me Steve McQueen was a member of his club and used to ride practice days under a false name...
