Hey, thatÃ‚Â´s insane! Thanks for posting!
Interesting to note that if you understand Swedish, English and German, Dutch is understandable too!

That is the coolest racing i have seen in a long time.

It is true new is old :P

Aspen,

I don't have sound at work so I didn't here it. BUT, Dutch is a heavily bastardized version of both French and German. Every time they get conquored, they gain more words. I will be in my Dutch course in about 2.5 hours, as a matter of fact!!!

Notice the safety regulations in the video... definately 80's!!!

Just when you thought it was safe to go to that local indoor supermoto race

can recall reading a mag article some years ago about this race. the one on the film looks to be about 1990 from the bikes and i'm sure i read the article about 95-96 when the race was still going.

it was run in sweden or somewhere similar and as you can see the jumps were mostly made of wood and the bikes had slick tyres.

what i can recall is that the bikes also had to run on some fuel made from woods shavings, some sort of natural alcohol / eathanol type stuff.

never seen the film before though. wacky races!

I wonder if it was this race that made Mike Jones decide to go free style!
