One of the rare documentaries you leave wishing it was a little bit longer.
By Stephen Holden FULL REVIEW
80
The film doesn't always follow up on its more interesting issues: safety, technique, financial hardship, even the sport's history. But the emotional dynamics of its trio of formative hopefuls, and their touching relationships with the parents or guardians who work hard at enabling their passion, set a solid pace.
By Robert Abele FULL REVIEW

The perfect answer to cries of "I'm bored," Marshall Curry's outstanding documentary won't just entertain your family for a little while. It'll also inspire everyone to get back outside, and find a new passion.
By Elizabeth Weitzman FULL REVIEW

By Roger Moore FULL REVIEW

Poised between childhood and adolescence, arrogance and insecurity, the kids still make for compelling subjects.
By Eric Hynes FULL REVIEW

Curry also emphasizes the human drama of the kid drivers who face their own distinct challenges and setbacks in order to become champions.
