Blurred Lines: The Cost of Speed | PNW Motorcycle Racing, Risk & Safety (OMRRA/WMRRA Doc)
Blurred Lines is a deep dive into the world of OMRRA (Oregon Motorcycle Roadracing Association) and WMRRA (Washington Motorcycle Road Racing Association). Filmed by directors David Crawford and Troy Kirby, this documentary captures the passion and peril of amateur motorcycle road racing at iconic tracks like Portland International Raceway (PIR) and Pacific Raceways (Seattle).
We chronicle the history of major accidents that have forced these respected clubs to change their safety protocols. Hear directly from over 30 riders, vendors, and raceway coordinators as they put a unique assessment on the risks they take every time they "put on the helmet."
The film confronts a crucial question: Has the intense, individual competitive attitude of these racers pushed them across a line, unnecessarily putting their lives—and the lives of their fellow riders—at risk for the sport they love?
