Great stuff !!
Only watched a bit of it for now, watch the rest later, I like the early shot when old mate taps the guy inside him on the leg when he goes by.

Great vid but the interview with Aldana and Markel at the end could have been much better with a professional interviewer and giving both riders the questions in advance so they'd have their answers better thought out. Bart Markel was especially dull but it was only a minor gripe, the rest is great, especially the Grateful Dead style opening music ;D. That was definitely the golden era of dirt track with competitive bikes from Yamaha, Harley, Norton, Triumph and BSA. Good stuff.
