WHEN BRITAIN RULED The 1989 Motocross 500cc World Championship released on DVD The mouth-watering prospect of a stellar line-up of world champions and hard-charging challengers promised a vintage year of motocross as the 1989 season opened. Britain’s own former World Champion Dave Thorpe, reigning 500cc World Champion Eric Geboers, former title-holder Georges Jobe, plus rising stars Kurt Nicoll and Jeff Leisk, were ready for what promised to be a truly unforgettable year of MX action. Now, for the first time on DVD, re-live this amazing season in awesome footage of the best in the world, doing what they do best. Featuring all the mud-spitting, high-jumping, bike-smashing moments of a dramatic year of motocross, this is the ultimate record of a titanic championship battle. Share the heartbreak of Australian Leisk who, in his first full 500cc season, could have started the year with victory in both races in Holland, only to be cruelly robbed of victory by a fuel problem. Watch in awe as old-hands Geboers and Thorpe quickly take control of the championship chase, dominating the rain-soaked French round and sun-baked races in Italy. With a third of the season done, the pair were tied at the top of the table. But the drama doesn’t stop there! In the middle of the season Kees van der Ven found his form and forced his way into title contention, just tailing fellow championship hopefuls Nicoll, of Britain, and Leisk. With the end in sight, Brit hero Thorpe trailed his illustrious rival – but he refused to admit defeat and exploited a dip in form from the Belgian to snatch win after win. Thorpe’s double victory on home ground is just one highlight you’ll want to watch again and again. This DVD brings viewers the whole story of a truly dramatic season, which culminated in an unforgettable showdown in Luxembourg where Thorpe demonstrated the skills that made him a multi-world champion. This is an incredible tail of a real comeback kid, showing Thorpe roaring to a third world title after two disastrous years ruined by injury. This review is a real celebration of a true British hero. The official 1989 Motocross 500cc World Championship Review is released 10th March, priced at £16.99 on DVD, from leading video outlets or direct from Duke Video: Tel 01624 640000, fax 01624 640001 or email mail@dukevideo.com.
