Motocrossed! is a 2001 Disney Channel Original Movie (based on the Shakespeare play Twelfth Night), about a girl named Andrea Carson who loves motocross, despite the fact that her father finds her unsuited for the sport, being that she is "just a girl". When her twin brother Andrew breaks his leg just before a big race, their father is forced to go to Europe to find a replacement rider. In the meantime, Andrea secretly races in Andrew's place with her mother's help.

This is one of the few movies where who goes with bike, especially with off road bike, is not ugly and bad ... I mean dirt is within the context. All the actor perform well, even if not all are professional. I would like to have more film like this for our sons, the messages inside the story are correct, not free violence but a lot of competition even if in the real world female championship is not together with male championship, this is a poetic license but acceptable. We have some excellent pilot, Kiara Fontanesi, Flo Parrini, Alice Magnoli that are both eligible for actress and as pilot too... I would like to see again a film with some of them (...I believe stunts are not necessary).

Most of the Disney Channel Movie fodder over the years has been exceptionally gag-worthy. Actors who are at best passable in 24 minute doses become entirely unbearable in a 2 hour span. Motocrossed is one of the few exceptions, perhaps because I did not recognize anyone from the normal talent(less) pool.But I think the best reason is the engaging story, which (surprise) actually seems to be ripped off from one of the greatest comedies written, Twelfth Night. Tweak a few names and lose a couple of racing bikes and suddenly we're back listening to the bard. Think about it: Andrea pretends to be her injured brother to uphold her family's living just as Viola assumes her brother's identity when he disappears to earn a livelihood. She falls for another racer who thinks she's a dude and ends up having to woo another girl for him, just as Viola tried to woo Olivia for the Duke. Much confusion ensues before finally revealing that *gasp* she's a girl after all and can now legitimately hook up with her man.It's actually nice having a modern version of the story, and although She's the Man is definitely the better, I would recommend this title to families over the sexed-up Amanda Bynes version. It would actually be an easily digestible way to introduce your kids to Shakespeare and prove he's not so boring after all. So if you ever get stuck looking after a Disney-obsessed kid, hope this one comes on. It may just make the time passable.

OK. heres a story that has a fantastic moral, good music, gorgeous Riley smith and an evil villain(Renee'). i love the movie and it is NEVER boring. the movie brings out the fact that Disney has actually made a cute original story that attracts little children AND preteens - adults(Sort of). although its very very predictable its cute and it makes you laugh. theirs a lot of characters that r sorta pointless (fern, that guys who fix's deans bike... etc...) but it still has an amazing story plot and is very fun to watch. i personally LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie and think that its the best Disney channel original movie and then stuck in the suburbs. its just one of those movies where you wont die if you don't see, but it is a great watch and is worth "wasting" 1 hour and 30 minutes. its enjoyable and cute and i for one don't think u will get so upset if u watch it and don't like it, after all, its just a movie.

As a rider, I was a little worried when I heard Disney would be doing a movie on dirt bike riding in general and the sport of motocross specifically.Through m/x (motocross) sources, I learned that many of the top pro riders would be helping with the film (Travis Pastrana, etc.), and breathed a sigh of relief. At least the riding would be good!Since the show demographic is a bit out of my realm (I'm 40), I figured I'd watch a bit to see how they treated the subject, then switch it off. To my surprise, although the story line was far-fetched, the characters and acting were very good.The female lead is played by a girl who looks realistic in the part of a tomboy. Nothing synthetic about Alana Austin, just a clean-cut good looking teen. This leads a huge amount of creedence to her role, and to the movie as a whole.I couldn't get into the younger brother as a mechanic though. I've been working in the business for 20 years, and still wouldn't be able to replace a top end that quickly without help! The other characters, especially the mother, were well cast and believable.I ended up watching the entire film, and enjoyed it. The riding sequences were well done, the acting was good and the plot (though predictable) worked well.I've since seen Alana at a few Supercross races this year (she's there to promote the new "Supercross, the Movie", out next year), and she has proven to be a very nice and wholly pleasant person to be around.The motorcycle industry is very lucky to have caught the eye of Disney. Motocrossed is not only good for the sport, it's a fun flick for anyone involved or interested in dirt bikes.
