    I have been looking for that for almost 4 years
    Wikipedia "All Terrain Vehicle" Definition excerpt
    Other smaller or lesser known companies, such as Tiger ATV, Franks, and Cagiva, produced racing three wheelers, but in much smaller numbers. Few of these machines are known to exist today and are highly sought by collectors.

    a while back i remember emailing someone about the video and they basicly told me that it would cost me... if i come across that senerio again i figure that we all might chip in for the original and have copies made .. with permission of course... anyway does anyone remembe the exact title or head line inwhich it was played? lets start emailing and calling and get a copy of this video. i think i vagly remember some guy on here that told me that he had actually bought a copy from abc or sumthing but he was in the process of moving or sumting and it was all packed away? ill have to start looking through old files and see what i can come up with ive got a itch to try and find this footage agian for some reason

    Can't find the video, but here is a link to buy some of the stories:

    click here

    They are like $1.95 - $3.50 each. Just a copy of the newspaper article, but could be interesting.

    I did see it.But I was 12 or 13 and was not into atv's yet.But I distinctly remember them talking about it and showing video footage of guys riding in the dunes and flipping them over.
    I would really like to see it again.
    I bet it is one of them vault locked videos they will never release due to all kinds of phone calls and emails of threats from disgruntled atv people.

    Just a side thought.
    Has anyone tried going to like limewire or something and doing a search?
    Maybe someone has it up on there and could be downloaded.I personally dont have any sharing sites I am a member of.
    Here is where my long useless list of stuff nobody cares about should go...
