supercross: the movie

[itgirl]

anybody seen it? it was on fX the other night. i was bored and it had bikes in it, so i watched it. kinda cheesy.

anyways, the plot was about these 2 brothers that race supercross as privateers. then one brother gets picked up for a factory ride, however, his main job is not to win, but to run interference with other riders so the star of the team gets on the podium.

does that stuff happen in the real racing world? does one teammate exist solely to keep others outta the real star's way? or is it just hollywood fantasy?
