The opening sequence ties it in really nicely with the then nascent BMX scene in California. Check out 'Joe Kid on a Stingray' it's just like the start of On Any Sunday.
Had to find my copy of the movie to watch it again. I used to work with the guy that gets clipped by the off course rider in the 'local motocross' action scenes.He's the one swearing a blue streak, and picks up a rock and almost throws it at the guy that hit him. He went on to race a TZ-700 powered sidecar racer with his wife as monkey. Also got involved with trials riding. I live just a stones throw away from the old Sac-Mile site. Those mile race scenes are still awesome after all these years.
