In January there was a Supercross star-studded world premiere at the Anaheim Opener (the launch of the 2025 SMX World Championship Series) in Anaheim California, “Pay Dirt: The Story of Supercross," bringing murder, mystery and the adrenaline of Supercross, with a quote from Brolin below, plus poster and trailer.

Josh Brolin commented, “I don’t like when movies try and dictate how you should feel,” explained the world-renowned actor. “Do you know what I mean? You just get what you get. When people are good at what they do, I think a lot of people respond to it. It’s settled in. This movie is not preachy at all. It’s not telling you how to feel. It just is what it is, and I think people really respond to honesty.”
