So cool.. In 1972 we took a family trip to California and our parents took us to Malcolm's motorcycle shop. He was so nice and EXACTLY like you see in the movie. I'll never forget that.
Watched OAS multiple times in the theater as a 15 yr old. I was a motorcycle nut at the time and this movie just turbocharged that passion that I carry to this day (69). I got to meet and ride with Malcolm. Will never forget it. Thank you Chris!
Thanks Malcolm, watching you took a 17year old kid who was no good at stick and ball stuff and turned him on to a sport I was good at. You did that to so many others. RIP buddy, we all owe you
Nicest man I ever met. Went into his shop admiring his museum upstairs. He saw me standing there came out of his office to chat. What an encyclopedia of motorcycle history! He is missed!
Yes, sadly Malcolm is gone now but so will we all be one day. The difference is, he had a life that was so very well lived. My own life is merely a shadow of his. He was an inspiration to countless people like myself growing up in the 1960s and 70s, just the music in this video and Bruce’s narration bring back such happy memories. And I’m not sure Malcolm ever said a bad word about another human being, if he did it was rare. Kind and gentle while being fierce and determined at the same time. This man was a true hero my friends.
I was lucky enough to meet Malcolm in 1973 when he came to Australia to race at the now legendary Forest 300 enduro outside Dungog NSW. I was 9 years old, a total motorcycle nutcase and I have never forgotten his huge smile nor how friendly this "god" of motorcycling was. RIP Champion, and thank you.
One of the most influential documentaries on motorcycling. I’m so glad as a child and as a young adult that I was able to be a part of desert riding in the 70s thru the 90s. Greatest sport in the world.
Thank you for this Malcolm was a great guy, loved On Any Sunday fantastic film. My favorite moments in On Any Sunday have to be Mert Lawill ripping around the track in the opening segment, Mark Brelsford on the Mile track, and Malcolm Smith at the Elsinore Grand Prix 12:49 to 13:20 on your vid. Every time I watch that movie, I always get a rush watching those 3 scenes.👍
That man is the reason I have loved and ridden motorcycles most of my life. RIP Malcolm and thank you.
This never gets old. RIP Malcolm.

Malcolm was my hero as a young teen in the 70's.
Godspeed Malcolm. One of the best overall riders ever and one of the most influential. Thanks for the kindness and inspiration.

As a young teen seeing On Any Sunday and learning about Malcolm Smith I had an idol instantly, rip.

My friends and I ate drank and slept dirt bikes back in the early 70’s. This movie was god-like in stature.

I've watched this 100 times if I've watched it once. 😊
Thank You Bruce Brown for this epic movie! RIP Malcolm.
What a great tribute!! Like most of you this film got me into motorcycles!😊
That red and chrome tank! Only a Husky! I owned one, new in 76! Came stock with all the best! Bought at his shop, what good times!
Malcolm Smith has always been my hero. Rest in peace my brother that I never had I want to be like you
He will be missed
RIP to the true GOAT of off road racing!!
Malcolm is likely the greatest off-road rider/racer of all time.
Thanks for posting. Loved it! RIP Malcolm, one of one.

Speed Track Tales Website covers the entire history of the ISDT. Great to see this again.
And he did it on old tech suspension...
This is awesome!
...as time goes by.
めっちゃ良いです。
Look at the :40 second mark. Malcom wasn't wearing a helmet and he lived. I miss the days where everybody wasn't a pus sy.
