A look at the 2002 AMA motocross series.
Terrafirma 2 is the second installment in the Terrafirma series. Once again, T2 captured the essence of the 90’s MX scene with great music and epic footage of the top riders of the era on and off the track. Highlights include Jeremy McGrath riding at Castillo ranch. The MC footage is some of the most iconic MX footage ever shot to this day. The late Donny Schmit ripping a frozen lake, Mike Metzger (still racing at the time) starting to show some of his freestyle skills and a compilation of the ultracompetitive 1995 motocross nationals.
Setting the bar for Moto videos in the 90’s. The Terrafirma series blasted onto the scene with the first installment in 1994. Capturing current and future stars like Doug Henry, Ezra Lusk, Ricky Carmichael, James Stewart and Travis Pastrana on and off the track in epic locations with behind the scenes footage that fans had never seen turned out to be the ultimate formula for this 7 chapter series. Throw in a soundtrack that matched the footage and you will see why the Terrafirma series was so groundbreaking in our sport.
The fourth edition of the Terrafirma series was filmed around the world throughout 1997 and released in 1998. Terrafirma 4’s riding offering stretches far and wide, from silky smooth sessions in the hills of California with Jeremy McGrath & Kevin Windham, mind-bending off-road “sends” in the Canadian wilderness with Guy Perrett, freeriding in Chile with Edgar Torronteras & Andy Bowyer and everything else in between. The series really started to expand into different types of riding in this installment and also includes Trials competition in Donner Pass, California, Hill Climb racing in Billings Montana, and the freeride cross-over of big mountain snowboard legend, Mike “Tex” Devenport. A little bit of everything here!
