Taking racing fans back to the dawning of the age of America's dominance in the global motocross arena, this long-buried film from director Charles Bush documents the 1975 American Motocross Association's 500cc Nation Series. It came down to five riders -- Jim Weinert, Steve Stackable, Pierre Karsmakers, Billy Grossi and Kent Howerton -- in what became known as the Battle of New Orleans, a legendary moment in motocross history.

Billy Robinson has become the hottest hot-rodder on the professional motorcycle-racing circuit. But when he returns in triumph to his hometown to bask in all the adulation, he also skids into some pretty rank jealousy from envious motorcycling wanna-bes. And when a local race is organized, Billy must shift gears completely and compete against his best friend, Rick, for the top prize.
