A good synopsis of the return of MotoGP to America in 2005 after an absence of more than ten years. Interesting behind-the scenes footage about Laguna Seca and the riders, but far too much of Hopkins and nothing from Rossi except what is already in the Public domain. Obviously he didn't cooperate with the film's makers this time around (odd because they are relentlessly flattering about his talent), and didn't give any private access. There are some other noticeable omissions too, such as the way the track started to break-up over the weekend, the very negative comments about track safety from some of the riders, and the terrible traffic access for spectators.
Some bad language, and no option to bleep it out for the benefit of young ears. The second disc has most of the race from multiple synchronised on-board sources, which is fun.
Ewan MacGregor's narration is first-class as always, and justifies the purchase in its own right. If you don't already have its predecessor, Faster, suggest you get that first. If you were there, as we were, this is an essential memento.

I don't know if I was just having an off day, but I found this DVD rather boring. Having seen its predecessor "Faster" (which I found very enjoyable), and as an avid follower of bike racing events, I wasn't particularly entertained or gripped by the content. It should also be renamed to "The Hopper, The Tornado, and The Kentucky Kid", as the features with Valentino Rossi (aka "the Doctor") are far and few between, with hardly any direct interviews, and what looked like edited clips taken form here and there. It was strange to see so much of John Hopkins given he's not even in the title. I actually went to the MotoGP at Leguna Seca, and having experienced it first hand, I just felt there was something lacking.

Moto GP comes to California. A great follow up to "Faster" and a wonderful in-depth look at a Moto Gp weekend.
The Film shows John Hopkins, Colin Edwards and Nicky Hayden as they approach their first ever home GP. Some great on and off-track scenes and very candid comments by the riders.
The dodgy sound at beginning was a bit worrying but pretty soon you forget about that and just get engrossed in the action.
I found the second disc a bit useless, but since the main feature and the extras on the first disc are so good I can't complain.

Great
This is an interesting DVD showing the life endured by Haydn, Rossi, Edwards and the rest as a Moto GP star, it's funny, exciting and sometimes heartbreaking, well worth a look.
