I, Superbiker? No, you Superbiker; me, Journalist. Can a BSB film with a title that ridiculous really be any good? … Scroll down for the full story

I have to put my hands up and admit I had all but written off the new I, Superbiker film. the concept sounded great ? a film about British Superbikes, what’s not to like? the title had me worried to begin with, then, having watched the trailer I was pretty sure the film was destined to be a cringe-worthy string of rider interviews and repeated footage of Josh Brookes jumping the mountain at Cadwell Park. But I have to admit I was wrong. Bugger. just watched the film and it is a damn sight better than the title or PR waffle would suggest. Starring Josh Brookes, Tommy Hill, James Ellison and Gary Mason, it’s a refreshingly different approach to a season review. the involvement of riders’ girlfriends, parents and teams gives a nice bit of background throughout the races. You get to see highlights of every race, backed up with some good shots around the pits and in the garages. even the theme tune sounds good, written by a band made up from leftovers of Def Leppard, Sex Pistols and Girl. the film was apparently inspired by the 1980 film Silver Dream Racer. at this point Yoof such as myself will have to consult the digitized visual education portal that is YouTube for a brief history lesson. a quick search finds some hilarious footage from the film of an ancient two-stroke racer seemingly lapping Brands Hatch faster than any of the BSB guys did in the new film. Ah, artistic license, say what you want and get away with it, brilliant! I, Superbiker is worth going to see once it’s out, if for nothing else other than the rare chance to watch BSB racing in a cinema with a big cup of pop and a kilogram of pick ‘n mix sweetie goodness. Be warned though, as movies go it might not be a great suggestion for a romantic date, unless your partner has a thing for James Ellison? I, Superbiker is in cinemas from early March, see the website for details.
