"Faster" - The Moto GP film

[Ol]

Just downloaded the film / documentary FASTER . Has anyone watched it yet? not got chance to watch it yet - looks really good though.

Story line (as per imdb):
The first film to go inside the MotoGP world since television took a sport watched by a few thousand spectators at race tracks and turned it into prime-time entertainment for over 350 million people worldwide. The MotoGP world championship is the pinnacle of motorcycle sport, a series of sixteen races on five continents contested by twenty-four of the world's top riders. Filmed around the world during the 2001 and 2002 seasons, FASTER asks this question: How do you go faster than the rest, how do you win at this glamorous, dangerous game? The movie could be subtitled: How do you beat Valentino Rossi? The 24 year old Italian, world champion in 2001 and 2002, currently dominates MotoGP, and he's the charismatic center of the film.




if anyone fancies watching but cant download torrents (or just doesn't wanna pay for it!) drop me a PM and i'll burn an AVI copy to dvd and post it to you!

I've seen it a couple of times, really enjoyed it.

It's better than the The Doctor, the Tornado and the Kentucky Kid

I got a copy of 'Faster' off ebay its a 2 disc set and was only a few quid.
Not really a movie, more of a documentary, but still pretty interesting.
I think one of the discs focuses on John Hopkins as a young and upcoming gp rider and also quite a bit about Garry McCoy,his riding style and crashes.

Here's the trailer- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEMmKyR11yM

Somebody posted on here about a similar thing coming out this year but based on BSB, but then they got blasted by the BCF spam police so I guess we'll never find out about that.

Looks good, although something about it strikes me as slightly comical, I think its the accents

Watched most of it last night, Biaggi elbowing Rossi off the track and Rossi overtaking him, and while at full lean takes his left hand off the bar and gives him the finger.... absolutely superb, I'm upset i missed the 500's!

Watched half of it last night, pretty good stuff, the incident above was cool indeed. Good to see so many racers from 'my day' adding soundbites.

it supprised me when valentino was talking about having posters of Caparossi on his wall before he got into moto gp, and then caparossi having that battle with lorenzo at the weekend...

I'm trying to find the title of the one released in the 2003 season after Kato's death. I'm pretty sure it's called Faster and Faster? It was definitely released in the 2003 season and before Doctor Texan and Kentucky kid.

I've tried to search it on amazon but couldn't find it. I'm DEFINITELY sure i've seen bits and pieces of the DVD on youtube but can't find the videos which i was referring to.

If anybody can hunt me down a copy of this, legal or illegal, I would be eternally grateful.

SOMEBODY MUST know which DVD i'm talking about (McGreggor even commentated on it)

Valentino Rossi - Moto GP Trail Of Glory?

[Al]

Its this one you're talking about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOHrX5VGrhM

Its on the second disc that I got with 'Faster' I think they released an updated version with that and a few extras on a second disc.
Not sure if you would be able to buy it separately as its only a very short film.

Cheers Al, that's the ticket! How long is that actual DVD for Faster and Faster.

I know there was also another Duke-released video - 200mph bikes or something like that which Randy Mamola did... Not worth downloading tbh since it's all irrelevant - 990's are dead!

This is the scene index-

1. Faster & Louder [3:27]
2. MotoGP [6:09]
3. Predictions [3:43]
4. Japan [2:33]
5. South Africa [2:04]
6. France [1:58]
7. Germany [3:29]
8. Ducati [7:51]
9. Hopkins & McCoy [4:41]
10. 80/20 [4:03]
11. Rossi & Yamaha [5:41]
12. Credits [2:52]

The bit about Kato is pretty much all shown in that youtube clip. The rest is more a season review with riders talking over the top in the style of the rest of the Faster DVD, with a section talking about Rossi and his move to Yamaha, which we all now know went pretty dam well

Oh yeah I think its in that DVD that you see a quick shot of Hopkins doing whats now become known as the Rossi dangle, it just looks like his out braked himself but 5-6 years later and they're all doing it!
