Average Rating: Rating: - Pre! If you were a runner in the early '70s, Steve Prefontaine was your idol. Give Frank Shorter and Bill Rodgers and even Lasse Viren their due, it was Pre who captured the essence of running as no other ever had or probably ever will. The guy had charisma - loads of it - and a style that grabbed you by the shorts and pulled you around the track with him. Was he America's greatest runner? Probably not, but who knows how good he could have been had his awesome potential not been snuffed. He may not have been the best, but he certainly inspired more runners than any of his contemporaries. The video provides comments and insights from family, friends and athletic rivals, and the footage from some of his races - particularly the 1972 Olympic 5000 meters - is an adrenaline-pumping reminisce of a spirit in American running we may never see again. This video allows the viewer to vicariously experience that fire and magic one more time. Rating: - Worth watching...a thousand times!!! If you are a Steve Prefontaine fan, or simply a fan of track & field, you will find yourself watching this video time and again. The highlight, in my opinion, is the footage of the 1972 Olympic 5000M Final. I have watched this portion of the video literally hundreds of times. Narration throughout the video is exceptional. Appearances by Ian Stewart and Kenny Moore are wonderful. Mac Wilkins' memories of Pre are particularly moving. A must see. Rating: - Fire On The Track: Steve Prefontaine This video is a must for any Prefontaine fan. Those who saw him run, met him, or have recently been introduced to the "Legend of Oregon" would get tremendous value from this 58 minute video. Excellent footage of Pre's races, interviews, and comments about his views on the need for change towards athlete's in the 70's. I watch this for motivation and inspiration. No Hollywood story here, it's the real thing!
