MX FILES: BRAD LACKEY
"Bad Brad" Lackey as he is called, started a quest of taking on the world
to fulfill a dream. After 10 long, hard years of sacrifice and struggle,
Brad Lackey became America's first Motocross World Champion in 1982. In
the early 1970's, the young rider from Northern California traveled to and
trained behind the Iron Curtain to learn how to ride against the
dominating Europeans and became the fastest rider in America winning the
1972 AMA 500cc National Championship. From there, the long struggle on
various brands began, including Kawasaki, Husqvarna, Honda, and finally on
Suzuki, which he won his World Champion title on in Luxembourg against a
tough Belgian named Andre Vromans. The stories Brad, his friends,
mechanics, fellow riders, and wonderful wife, Lori tell in this DVD are
simply unforgettable. From riding his first motorcycle rodeo as a boy to
training in Czech as a teenager, from battles with sponsors to battling
Andre Malherbe, and finally, that special day in August of 1982 when
victory was achieved for the aging Lackey. It's a story they make feature
films about. Includes: Original 22 minutes television program, new two
hour expanded and deleted scenes, interviews....nearly four hours of
content.
