On Any Sunday was an inspiration to many. I view my DVD at least once a year and have shared it with many riding friends. Thank you Bruce and may God bless you.

 Growing up in the SoCal surf era of the 60's and 70's we couldn't wait for the next  Bruce Brown surf film. He made films we could all relate to 'cause he was a surfer. Some of us were into mini bikes and dirt bikes and lo and behold On Any Sunday came out and it seemed that all of our interests were being shown to the world and we were in a way a small part of it all. Great memories Bruce, Godspeed and Thank You.  :bow:

It’s almost fitting that he would pass when days are so short. Godspeed, Bruce. Thanks for bringing beauty and a positive identity into my life...

The iconic movie Endless Summer was before On Any Sunday.  Amazing how 2 movies from the same person in completely different areas influenced a lot of people.  :thumb:  It's the main reason I call mtn. pass riding "road surfing".  :grin:

To this day still in awe of Malcolm Smith's Elsinore Grand Prix segment. Stood in line many years ago at Mid Ohio Vintage Days to have Mert Lawwill autograph my "Parking for Mert Lawwill Fans Only" sign. So influential, and all owed to Bruce Brown. Thanks Bruce, forever indebted.
