There's a crowd in the UK selling what I reckon is one of the best deals going for sx afficianados - 'the worlds best supercross races' dvd collection. six double-sided dvd for chrissakes - that's 22 hours of viewing! region free code even! after going bug eyed for most of the long weekend, i'm only on to the second disc!
ok, its mostly US stuff, but its got real historical value, going from the 1975 Superbowl on each year (nearly) into the eighties when it shows a few of the best sx races from each year, up till the late eighties. its fabulous! it shows the changing of the guard from the europeans to the yanks, to mike bell, then to hannah, then broc glover, then dave bailey, then the big duels he had with ricky johnson, throw in wardy and you got some just incredible races.
intrestin to watch the evolution of track design, bike technology and riding style. by '85, wardy was backing it into corners on his rear disc-ed kwaka, and everyone was tripling jumps. but what they had not yet worked out was mid air corrections - meaning lots guys flipped or nose dived regularly - all caught on good quality video!
best thing, they're going for like ten-fifteen bucks.
