Recently I had a chance to watch the DVD of Stompin Stu - The Story of BMX Legend Stu Thomsen. Stu was the man back in day, and still is, literally, since he is now a Deputy Sheriff in Orange County. This is a cool movie about one of BMX's greatest legends. It features some rad vintage race footage and also some very personal interviews with Stu, his family, and friends. This is a definite must see for anyone who remembers Stompin Stu.
Below is the filmmaker's description of the film.
From the makers of award winning film, Joe Kid on a Stingray. Stompin Stu is a true story about perhaps the most dominant BMX racer in history, Stu Thomsen. From his battles off the track to his battles on the track, Stompin Stu is most importantly a film about being inspired.
