The latest film to be released in the
‘Moto’ series, Moto 7, is out now and
packs a real punch. Starring the likes
of Ken Roczen, Billy Laninovich, Tom
Parsons, Kris Foster, Ronnie Renner,
Blake Baggett, Colton Haaker, Anthony
Rodriguez, Justin Barcia and more,
Moto 7 certainly has an impressive mix
of the world’s top riders from a wide
range of dirt-bike backgrounds.
We were particularly stoked on Billy
Laninovich, Tom Parsons and Kris
Foster’s sections at the start. Kris
Foster’s natural-terrain flips and the
huge drops that him and Parsons hit
in Caineville were some of the sickest
shots we’ve seen in a while. Justin
Barcia’s section was awesome, and we
could watch Bam Bam throwing big,
dirty Whips all over his breathtaking
MX compound all day long. Ronnie
Renner’s section was inspiring as
always and with what looked like a
bunch of extra footage from his goldmedal-winning X Games Real Moto

The latest documentary film from the
world of MotoGP, ‘Hitting the Apex’,
takes an in-depth look at the highoctane and high-risk ride that is Grand
Prix motorcycle racing. Narrated by
Hollywood A-lister and self-confessed
MotoGP-head Brad Pitt, the film
focuses on the careers of six of the
world’s fastest MotoGP riders of all
time: Marco Simoncelli, Valentino
Rossi, Marc Márquez, Dani Pedrosa,
Casey Stoner and Jorge Lorenzo.
As ‘Hitting the Apex’ unfolds, we
see the top riders come and go from
the MotoGP spotlight. There is a
moving section showing the period
surrounding the tragic crash of Marco
Simoncelli, and a genuinely heartfelt
tribute is paid to the racing legend.
With insightful thoughts from the riders
themselves, we see and hear first-hand

filming sessions, Renner’s part had
some seriously big hits in it.
Moto 7 definitely follows the same
pattern as Moto 6, though possibly
with a bit more of a documentary feel
creeping in at times. As always Moto
has ticked all the righ t boxes and
definitely got us excited to go ride! For
anyone looking for an all-round hit of
quality dirt-bike action with a mix of
MX racing, enduro and freeride, Moto 7
is a must-see. T
