Wes Miller and the award winning H-Bomb Films crew
have done it again with the release of National
Born Killers. Known world-wide for their work on
the Huevos series, H-bomb Films now brings to the
ATV fans a documentary on pro ATV motocross racing,
and the film is based on unforgettable 2006 ATVA
Motocross National season. National Born Killers
covers all fourteen rounds with non-stop adrenaline
pumping look at one of the most dramatic seasons
of motocross ATV racing ever witnessed as it portrays
what it takes to be a Pro ATV Motocross racer in
the new age of factory support and big money on
the line.
H-Bomb Films, Wes Miller, followed the 2006 ATVA
Motocross Series all across the country from the
first moto gate drop in California at Glen Helen
to the season finale in the heartland of the country
at the all new Ballance MotoX in Oakland, Kentucky.
Along the way, Miller captured some of the most
intense racing action in ATV motocross history
and conducted candid interviews with all of the
top professional ATV racers: Joe Byrd, Doug Gust,
Jeremiah Jones, John Natalie, Keith Little, Pat
Brown, and many more. As Wes Miller documents
all aspects of what it takes to be a professional
ATV motocross racer, and reveals the sacrifice
and dedication that is required to be competitive
at the pro level in the chase for the 2006 Motocross
National Championship
National Born Killers goes behind the scenes
with interviews with not only the racers themselves,
but also those that surround them and make it
possible for them to live the life as a professional
ATV racer. As Wes Miller, reveals trials and tribulations
of being a professional rider and the strain it
places on not only the racers, but also the wives,
children, parents, mechanics, and sponsors that
support to the racers. From traveling and expenses
to injuries and time spent away from home, pro
racers and those around them tell their tales
of what they’ve sacrificed to be where they
are today. None of these riders made it to pro
status without sacrifice and dedication, which
is made very evident through out the film, and
National Born Killers does an excellent job of
portraying this normally unseen side of racing.

The films also reveals the controversial side
of racing ranging from riders forcing each other
off the track due to the ever increasing need
to win with big money on the line. John Natalie
and Joe Byrd go back and forth about Byrd’s
jump on a yellow flag in Virginia, and Natalie
didn’t hold back “Just being Joe Byrd,
I mean he’s the dirtiest, [beep] rider I
think I’ve ever ridden against and that
goes on the record you can play that anywhere
you want,” said Natalie.

Furthermore, National Born Killers reveals how
the relationships among the racers have changed
with factory involved, which had a profound affect
on the relationship with Doug Gust and Joe Byrd.
“We were good friends and when we got these
factory deals we can’t practice together
any more. Joe didn’t understand that at
first but I think he does now that he’s
got a factory ride,” Said Gust.
