Three stars is generous

Travis Pastrana's unsinkable energy is the best part of this film. Otherwise, the filming & editing is second-rate at best. This wasn't actually a Baja 1000, it's a Baja 500 that they ran two vehicles in (one truck, one bike). I'm actually involved in off-road desert racing, and I know some of the guys in this film, and I still wasn't very impressed. November 1, 2007

This guy is amazing

Not only has he had a successful MX career, a freestyle career marked by the first and so far only double backflip, he is now also a rally champion (think subaru WRX on dirt), and in this DVD he decides after watching Dust to Glory that he wants to try and race in the Baja 1000 in both a truck AND on a bike. So in about a month or two's time, he assembles a team and bikes, gets a truck ready, and they enter the race! I won't spoil it for anyone, but this guy is just amazing. Not only that but he seems incredibly easy going and a guy that would be fun to be around. If you liked Dust to Glory (and who wouldn't), then you owe it to yourself to have this DVD as a companion.
