Magoo: The Story of Danny Chandler
Danny "Magoo" Chandler is known throughout the world as one of
Motocross history's most colorful riders. Known for always pushing the
limit, riding on the edge, and scaring everyone else on the racetrack,
the fiery red head from Forest Hill, California was a front-runner in
the American motocross scene throughout the 70's and early to mid
80's.
Magoo astonished the world in 1982 by sweeping all four motos of
the Motocross Des Nations, and Trophee Des Nations, the equivalent of
the Olympics in 1980's Motocross, showing the world that the US was a
dominant motocross force.
Tragically, Magoo crashed while racing in France in 1985, breaking his neck and leaving him a quadriplegic.
Overcoming adversity, Magoo has learned to use his injury as an
example of what can happen if one rides or lives irresponsibly. Magoo
now runs his Motocross Safety School, puts on charity races and visits
recently hurt individuals in the hospital, as well as being a spokesperson for spinal chord injuries and a martyr for safety on and
off the racetrack. With vintage race footage and all new interviews
with racing legends Brad Lackey, Ricky Johnson, Jeff Ward, Darrel
Shultz, Troy Lee, Magoo and others,
Magoo: The Story of Danny Chandler is a powerful story about racing motorcycles, the speed, the glory, the consequences, and overcoming adversity.
