While sitting in the theater (14 years old) watching that riding on the sand scene I thought that's what I want to do for the rest of my life. Then dad bought a 1972 yamaha 100 enduro. We took turns on it. Then he bought another one so we could ride together. Then he traded up to a 175. It ended up up being mine. I longed for a 360 and ended up finding a '74 360 enduro. Rode it over 10 years. At 62 I'm still a 2-stroke fan currently on a kdx220. No end in sight.
My bro and I started out on a Honda 90 step through in the 60's. Over the years we put 13000 miles on that bike and never got off the farm. Honda SL100 next, then a 71 Yamaha 175 with 21 inch front wheel. Lord we beat on those bikes and they never missed a beat.
I'm 63, grew up in LA now living in Seattle. While looking for information on a current job I'm doing, I stumbled into this TH-cam video. I have to admit it, it brought me to tears as if I was dying and my life flashed before my eyes. I'm sure this clip had the same effect on all of us who were motorcycle riders back in the day. I love you all, and my all have a nice life and pass it on to your children and grand children that motorcycle riding out in nature is pure fun, even at the expense of screwing up a bit of nature. Keep crying, its OK. Love Dan
I saw this movie when I was 6 at the drive in. this MOVIE had a huge impact and the music is timeless Malcom Smith is a true legend. But the start of the movie with the kids on there pre BMXs was awesome and I'm sure all of us watching the vdo today can thank ON ANY SUNDAY FOR MAKING US ALL BIKE LOVERS TODAY.
I think, even today, that this movie is still the quintessential movie on bike riding...and Malcom Smith? The things he does on a bike are freaking awesome!
When I turned 16 in 1965 there was no helmet law here and I found my 1st bike and just started riding. No rules no nothing just go out and have some fun. It was magical. I am now 70 and still having fun riding bikes. I don't know anybody else who rides now because they are all just thinking about dying. They suck.
Very well said Siclmn ,, "to buzy trying to die" ,,life is way to short to die ,, your never to old .. get the bike out and just ride , happy Christmas to all .
Grew up in Oregon didnt have a motorcycle endorsement back in the day you bought a bike and rode it and came with tool kit so you fixed it and didnt have insurance laws iam 51 and still love the wind on my face feel trapped sitting in a car rode a old k model across Canada when i was 16 during summer changed my life permanently
I was riding a Honda Super 90 at 14 years old and lived a block away from Malcolm Smith in the San Bernardino foothills. My friends and I would ride back and forth on front of his house sometimes till we saw the garage door come up. We’d chase him as best we could for the fun of it. Love this movie above all others.
Boy, that brings back so many good memories. I'm 69 and have been riding since I was 10. First bike was a Hodaka Ace 90, and then graduated to Husky's. Rode them all my life. Great movie and great songs. Takes me back👍😎
Saw this movie with my Dad and younger brothers when I was in high school. Totally changed my Dad's outlook on motorcycles, have been riding ever since!
On Any Sunday is an iconic film that makes your heart soar. If you ever riden a motorcycle this film will resonate at a gut level. RIP Steve Mc Queen. Classic.
I saw this movie in early 1971. A friend told me about it. I had been drooling over dirt bikes already mid 20’s and a family, but it changed my life, literally, from that day to now. Many bikes, many races traveling the southeast. Mid 70’s now and doing some of that with jeeps now, but I will still sit down with one of my copies of “On Any Sunday” and watch every second for the thousandth time. By the way, this movie was up for an academy award for film and music. Bruce Brown also did the movie “Endless Summer”, which did the same thing for surfing. They did a reunion movie of Bruce hanging out with these characters from that old movie that is wonderful as well. Very funny.
My parents would drop us off at the Fox in Pomona on a Saturday then pic us up after 2 movies played. Raced Motor cross at Dean Mans Point in Apple Valley Ca. I did a tribute video of Steve Mcqueen on TH-cam th-cam.com/video/_LVfgKRfAZc/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for sharing. This clip sure brings back memories of riding in the late 70s and beyond. I started out on a 80cc dirt bike and I've owned several others since then. Today I'm 56 and I ride an Adventure Bike on and off road. :)
I was the only one that road Huskys, all my buddies had Yamahas, and Hondas. All power and no suspensions. Its scary to see when some of the guys will bring out their old vintage bikes out to the track and all I can say is , holy shit I used to ride those things!
The image of the beach torn up and closed off to everyone else? A public beach no less. If you are famous, you can do that. You try it and see what it gets you.
62 here also - and yep, about 14 when this came out. We were all motocrossers ripping the river beds in central Cali, and this was quite the event. The Folks had to drive us an hour to Santa Maria to see it. Bought the soundtrack, and passed that around....the whole bit. Rode a Hodaka Super Rat....Ace 100 baby! Still remember the intoxicating smell of Castrol 2-stroke oil.....Those were awfully good days. Then we moved to Oahu and I threw myself into surfing, on the North Shore no less, so never gave bikes much of a second thought at that point.....but that WAS a good compromise...Doesn't pay to grow up sometimes. Neat, Malcolm, Neat.
have this on DVD..a great document..from 50 years ago..Back in the seventies I had a husky 250cc.. great bike.. these 3 men was great. actor and in raceing...when I was young I could only looking in Magazines..🇸🇪
Back in about 1972 I was hanging out with a friend that worked at a very small full service filling station north of San Marcos Texas. This was when they were shooting a movie there I think it was Getaway. Well what do you know in rides Steve McQueen with Allie Mcgraw on the back!!! I remember him asking for direction to Canyon lake. He also was not wearing his helmet because it was strapped to his handle bars stuffed full of beer! After some very great small talk he bid us goodbye. He accelerate a bit to fast in some graver and dumped it! Allie simply stepped of the back came to a running stop while Steve went ass over tea kettle into the ditch along with the bear spewing and falling out and rolling everywhere! He just got up gathered up the good beers put them back to the helmet , Allie loaded up while he peals out in the gravel with a glorious streak of cuss words! I saw Steve McQueen wreck a motorcycle! One of my best stories ever. And all true! Ask Allie if you don't believe me! I bet it is also one of her better stories!
Yes indeed! There was an innocence and simplicity which is totally absent these days. Naïveté as well, given that those were three hydrocarbon spewing 2-strokes.... 🥴
Back in the day when California was the best place on the planet to live. Yes, I was there riding. Racing around oil rigs next to PCH, hitting the desert in pie plate races, tearing up Lake Elsinore...
After this movie, every boy, every teenager and every single grown man with hair on his balls wanted to ride motorcycles. Sales went through the roof because of this movie. Cycle manufacturers should have made Bruce Brown a billionaire because of how much fun he made cycling look.
I looked up to them growing up my friend worked for Preston Petty plastic fenders and endero gas tanks in Arizona .I got to eat dirt behind them on some weekend rides a couple of times . Im 59 now . awesome
You couldn't do it then either. This scene was shot at Camp Pendleton Marine base. Bruce Brown was lamenting to McQueen that he couldn't even get a call back from them. Brown said that McQueen, a former Marine, looked at him, picked up the phone and called the Commandant of Pendleton. Within a few minutes they had their location.
1970 i bought a Kawaski 350 big horn rotor vale gave it tork cause i was 6.3 210lbs and it would stay withe the Husky 400s and did this type of play in Galveston ,Texas dearing week [no people] later seen on any Sunday -WOW
spent my early teen years on the back of my gymnast boy friend's dirt bike in the hills of corona del mar, laguna beach and up the northern ca coast, hyperactive teens in search of meaning
I had and raced a 70 400 Husqvarna, wicked machine but the most wicked of all was the 75 Kawasaki KX 400, when that thing made a decision, you were just along for the ride, good luck, on a two tracker one time doing at least a 100, well the damn thing hooked up and flipped quicker than I could get on the brake, when I woke up couldn't find the bike, after looking in the woods, walking back I see it about 15 feet up in a tree.
Did JT make special gear to accomadate his ginormous brass balls ?This guy was the man got his autograph at lake elsinore when i was a kid still treasure it

I bought new a 1969 Huskvarna 400 Cross when l was 29 l still have it in good condition l am 83, lots of fun! Love Malcom and Steve.
I've watched that movie at least 500 times. Never tire of it. Been riding off road for 51 years now. Nothing is better.
Right ( Ride ) on Tom !
Nothing is better? I would say that motorcycle riding is a lot better than nothing!
Saw this fantastic film when first released in Australia in 1972. Timeless.
R.I.P Steve McQueen.

Great replie to video. I'm with you on my 2-Stk KTM 300XC

Best motor cycle movie ever. That song goes through my head often when I ride.
I think, even today, that this movie is still the quintessential movie on bike riding...and Malcom Smith? The things he does on a bike are freaking awesome!
No goggles, no gloves, no boots, no hand guards, no body protection, no stress, just ride and ride, the old days were the best.
Yeah, and bikes with no electric start, fuel injection, abs, or rider modes, just pure simple magic...
More smiles per gallon!
Growing up these guys were my heroes, forget pro athletes, these guys were superstars!!👍
Same for me. I didn't care about sports-ball. My heroes were riding dirtbikes.
When I turned 16 in 1965 there was no helmet law here and I found my 1st bike and just started riding. No rules no nothing just go out and have some fun. It was magical.

Brother I'm 77 still riding hard and fast.
Kinda sad to look back in time when life was much simpler, much better, and gone forever. The Golden Years of motorcycling, glad I was part of it!
One of the greatest movies, about three of the all-time greatest bike guys, ever.
Ya, Queen Steve. A true bike Guy? Lol. Not! FTM!!!!
On Any Sunday, saw it in the theatres when it came out in 71, still watch it a couple times a year. Havent stopped riding since early 70s.
You got it, same here.
@@H43339 Amen brother
I am 65 now and remember sitting in the theater watching On Any Sunday. A memory I will never forget. I went with my friend Tim Ferguson.
It's still like this in Heaven!
Hail to Rick "Super Hunky" Sieman for bringing us DIRT BIKE MAGAZINE back in June of 1971! Thanks, Hunk! TT500's RULE!

His "From the Saddle" column in Dirt Bike was always hilarious and enlightening.
Steve did it all
The 👑 of cool
How lucky his kids were to have a dad like Steve. R. I. P.
I was riding a Honda Super 90 at 14 years old and lived a block away from Malcolm Smith in the San Bernardino foothills. My friends and I would ride back and forth on front of his house sometimes till we saw the garage door come up. We’d chase him as best we could for the fun of it. Love this movie above all others.

Wow! The Ace 90 then Ace 100 are in most older riders history!!
Every generation has its “They were the good old days” well lucky for me this was my good old days in the 70s on dirt bike no rules just lots of fun.
Oh my, where have the years gone, I remember this well
Wish we could still ride on the beach like that.
Saw this movie with my Dad and younger brothers when I was in high school. Totally changed my Dad's outlook on motorcycles, have been riding ever since!
Pretty cool when you have all money in the world and still enjoy the simple things very envious
Don't be envious Jim, you can maybe do it yourself my friend? Only live once and all that!
On Any Sunday is an iconic film that makes your heart soar. If you ever riden a motorcycle this film will resonate at a gut level. RIP Steve Mc Queen. Classic.
Fun fact steve mequeen called up camp pendelton marine base and they shut down the dunes so they could film there

I came for the riding, I stayed for the music!
Sitting in the Fox Theater , Pomona ,CA. with my dad . Thanks Dad . I miss you
My parents would drop us off at the Fox in Pomona on a Saturday then pic us up after 2 movies played. Raced Motor cross at Dean Mans Point in Apple Valley Ca. I did a tribute video of Steve Mcqueen on TH-cam th-cam.com/video/_LVfgKRfAZc/w-d-xo.html
Bruce Brown was one hell of a filmmaker.
Thanks for sharing. This clip sure brings back memories of riding in the late 70s and beyond. I started out on a 80cc dirt bike and I've owned several others since then. Today I'm 56 and I ride an Adventure Bike on and off road. :)
Funny part is Steve Produced the movie, Bruce Brown asked him to be in it and he asked him to pay for it. the King of Cool. 🤙🏼
McQueen was a pilot, motorcycles and airplanes- it doesn't get better.
I used to hide in the movie theater so I could watch this over and over and over all day, it was great the first real motorcycle movie
Thank you Joe, for uploading this lovely short of Mr McQueen and Pals. Superb!
i miss this era the world the people the vibration of this time
I was the only one that road Huskys, all my buddies had Yamahas, and Hondas. All power and no suspensions. Its scary to see when some of the guys will bring out their old vintage bikes out to the track and all I can say is , holy shit I used to ride those things!
Love the images around 4 - 4'30 with the warm colors and the beach...and the sweet lovely music. Thanks!
The image of the beach torn up and closed off to everyone else? A public beach no less. If you are famous, you can do that. You try it and see what it gets you.
Those would have been the original days with all the raw fun !!!!
Just awesome !!!

Plenty trails on Oahu, and then there’s Kahuku too!
have this on DVD..a great document..from 50 years ago..Back in the seventies I had a husky 250cc.. great bike..
these 3 men was great. actor and in raceing...when I was young I could only looking in Magazines..🇸🇪
Mert Lawwill, Malcom Smith, and Steve McQueen....SMH!!! It's the holy trinity - father, son, and the holy ghost. Unbelieavable!
Remember watching this when it first came out. #MemoryLane...

Lovely story...thanks for sharing!!
This is why i ride bikes ....watched this as a kid and was hooked coolest of cool🍀 mcqeen n the bhoys ...
McQueen lol
That was some hard and skilled riding for that era.
Miss my old Husqvarna !
Mucho Gracias por compartirlo Joe 👍 saludos
Those days are gone, what a shame. It was a magical time, not like today!
A different time and a different place. Wish we could have those times again...
Yes indeed! There was an innocence and simplicity which is totally absent these days.
Naïveté as well, given that those were three hydrocarbon spewing 2-strokes.... 🥴
true craig
Back in the day when California was the best place on the planet to live. Yes, I was there riding. Racing around oil rigs next to PCH, hitting the desert in pie plate races, tearing up Lake Elsinore...
Now the EPA says " you can't ride there, it's a protected habitat"....
After this movie, every boy, every teenager and every single grown man with hair on his balls wanted to ride motorcycles. Sales went through the roof because of this movie. Cycle manufacturers should have made Bruce Brown a billionaire because of how much fun he made cycling look.
Dirt bikes are about the most fun one can have with their clothes on.
Excellent! Thanks for uploading.

I’ll take “Things you can’t do in California anymore for $500 Alex”
You couldn't do it then either. This scene was shot at Camp Pendleton Marine base. Bruce Brown was lamenting to McQueen that he couldn't even get a call back from them.

Malcolm Smith great Canadian off-road Motorcyclist. Born in BC 🇨🇦
I was going to race on Sunday so I took my already loaded Hodaka Super Rat 100 cc to the drive-in to see this movie... Old Chainsawbob
Good stuff. Thanks for posting.
Changed my life 👍
Great video thanks for posting
So cool!!!… brings back so many personal bike memories
Dinossauros do cross ,fantástico .parabéns pelo video.
The dirt calls a guy like me, ashes to ashes, dirt to dirt it's time to ride in the desert, home like no other, sand in mexico
Steve should've earned the nickname "Crasher McQueen" in this documentary. 😁
1970 i bought a Kawaski 350 big horn rotor vale gave it tork cause i was 6.3 210lbs and it would stay withe the Husky 400s and did this type of play in Galveston ,Texas dearing week [no people] later seen on any Sunday -WOW
Amazing!
You can tell Merts riding. Great movie !
Forever young....
I might have missed it,but i see that these guys had no googles on.Those days are history
These lads could ride
Nothing phony about the late Steve McQueen he was just being himself in his movies not acting I don't think you could say for anybody else.
D L
Lol, nothing phony about Queen Steve? Wtf. Wake up you silly person!
spent my early teen years on the back of my gymnast boy friend's dirt bike in the hills of corona del mar, laguna beach and up the northern ca coast, hyperactive teens in search of meaning
That smile at 1:09 says it all.
I had and raced a 70 400 Husqvarna, wicked machine but the most wicked of all was the 75 Kawasaki KX 400, when that thing made a decision, you were just along for the ride, good luck, on a two tracker one time doing at least a 100, well the damn thing hooked up and flipped quicker than I could get on the brake, when I woke up couldn't find the bike, after looking in the woods, walking back I see it about 15 feet up in a tree.
It's been 41 years since I died early. He would be 91 years old if he were alive.
That was great
Can’t beat on any Sunday… 🎅🏻🏴☠️🏔
Innocent times. When men could play & be carefree boys again.
Did JT make special gear to accomadate his ginormous brass balls ?This guy was the man got his autograph at lake elsinore when i was a kid still treasure it
Le belle époque
This is life
いいなー、鳥取砂丘じゃ絶対にこんな事させてもらえんし…
