Curiosidades
The film was based on a script by sexploitation filmmaker Derek Ford, who had been impressed by the personality of stuntman Eddie Kidd when he saw Kidd interviewed on television. Ford wrote Bikers for Kidd, which was meant to be made for £500,000. Michael Klinger became involved as producer, and he felt the money could not be raised with Ford, so that filmmaker was eased out of production. The movie ended up being called Riding High and cost £3 million.

Ford says the movie was filmed with two endings, one where Kidd's character dies, the other where he lives. This was because no one was sure if Kidd would survive the final stunt sequence, where he jumped over a broken bridge. This stunt was the last part of the film shot.

Tony Klinger says the film ran out of money during production so his father Michael had to borrow money from a criminal to pay everone.

Great Movie, Fantastic Sound Track, 9 out of 10

This movie although in todays standards was not photographed in the best of cinema, but the content and story was great and I found it entertaining, OK some of it was mopey but all in all coupled with the sound track it was excellent, I would like to ask those who really dogged the movie, if they themselves would like to get up, and make one to this standard and maybe do the jumps etc themselves, its easy to sit back and knock others work without being able to improve, I am sure if you speak to Eddie he will inform you of just how difficult that big end jump was and how close it was to failure, with the high cross winds and nothing to catch him if he fell, For a first time effort as an actor 10 out of 10, and I hope to see you in action again sometime soon Eddie, all our best
