We are delighted to announce comprehensive and official reviews of the 2008 FIM Motocross World Championship, Maxxis ACU British Motocross Championship and FIM Red Bull Motocross of Nations are out now, offering fans more than 10 hours of mud-flinging, high-jumping drama from the best riders in the world.
The World Championship Review is packed with so much action we’ve had to release it on two discs! The great value set features highlights from every single round of both the MX1 and MX2 title chases. The best camera angles deliver all the thrills and spills in stunning action footage, plus there’s informed commentary, interviews, the podium presentations, a recap
of the incredible ’07 season and on-screen graphics to keep you on the pace as every race unfolds.
Both title battles went right down to the final event, with MX1 heroes David Philippaerts, Steve Ramone and Ken de Dycker locked in a tight battle throughout the year, and MX2 teammates Tyla Rattray and Tommy Searle taking their championship clash to the last day. Plus, fans were treated to the long-awaited return of factory-backed Hondas to take on the mighty Yamahas, Suzukis, KTMs and Kawasakis. And then there was Josh Coppins and his hopes of recovering from the injury-plagued 2007 season. The 2008 FIM Motocross World Championship was enthralling from start to finish. The World Championship Review brings you every vital moment from all 15 dust, dirt and, often, mud-filled rounds, making it the ultimate record of an unforgettable and fascinating season.
The British Championship Review is another comprehensive look back at a spectacular season, with highlights from all eight rounds of the incredible battles for both the MX1 and MX2 championships. Multiple camera angles bring you all the mud-spitting action, heroic leaps, massive pile-ups and dramatic dices for victory. After a nail-biting season of the very best MX riding, it all came down to the final round at the famous Hawkstone Park. The eighth and last meeting would be the venue for the title deciding showdowns in both classes. Despite moving to a new team, CAS Honda, reigning British MX1 Champion Billy MacKenzie once again led the way, until injury put his run towards a second consecutive title in jeopardy.
But MacKenzie never gives up, and brushed aside James Noble and Brad Anderson to secure the crown with one race to spare.
The championship chase was even closer in MX2, where Shaun Simpson overcame bone-breaking injury and a season-long duel with hard-charging challengers Stephen Sword and Martin Barr to take his first National adult title. Our cameras were there every step of the way to record every vital moment, gripping showdown, shocking spill and breathtaking leaps. The best footage, interviews, informed commentary and more make this the must-have record of one of the most competitive seasons of British MX competition.
Last, but by no means last, we have the official review of the incredible MX of Nations, hosted by the UK’s Donington Park in 2008. The biggest names in motocross from more than 30 countries competed in the sport’s most historic event, with a stunning line up including Philippaerts, Rattray, MacKenzie, American champions James Stewart and Ryan Villopoto, Searle, Coppins, Ramon, De Dycker and many more.
The official review features drama from all three races as the US team bids for yet another victory, and every other nation battles to break America’s stranglehold on the MX of Nations title. The best camera angles bring you all the thrills and spills in exceptional footage, plus there are interviews with the stars and a host of special features, including a complete on-board lap of the challenging and technical track with Villapoto, a look at how the course was created, an introduction to all the leading riders and a complete report on the qualifying races for the 2008 FIM Red Bull Motocross of Nations.
Every MX fan must have all three titles in their collection!
