Damn..that was pretty lame.

  I have to agree with Spooner. It was interesting but very basic.
  If I were new to motorcycling in general or someone who did not know about motorcycles it might be really informative.

I just couldn't believe a guy crashed in OIL!!  Holy crap I was blown away lol!! 

They kept asking what was keeping the riders safer-it really isnt' the bikes, its airfence and better quality riding gear.  Who else winced when the guy spun off the hay bails..that guy was a STUD to hop up after that one!!

There was a lot of Gloom and Doom in that program.  Still it was cool to see the old race footage.

That reply to national geographic, expressed my sentiments very closely, I would have added the word "cheesy" though.
I think it had an ignorant undercurrent of a cheap jab at Motorcycle Road Racing.
Turn sound off and enjoy old race footage.
