The Ride

Sure it's a bit formulaic but that didn't effect how engaging and absorbing it is . If you like movies like this it not , it certainly delivers and without cringe or eye rolling . The cast fits beautifully and the story itself is inspiring and captivating . I was all there for it and I am here for it still !

Really good movie!! Loved the story, the actors and that it's based on a true story about over coming lifes tragic moments w/a foster family that truly was in it to help the child!!

And the BMX just added to the story!!

Great story that needed told!!!

Enjoyed it a lot, interesting to see John's story & I was impressed by Ludacris - it probably could of benefitted a lot from a bit more budget but they worked well with what they had to still provide some good BMX action

You think changing his adoptive mom to a black woman would make a realistic story, even though, it's a true story & his adoptive mom was white - some people...

I enjoyed the film and am a bit surprised at the low review. I thought the acting was done well, a little over the top at times, but didn't distract from the film. Really great, heart warming story...I def teared up a couple times. I would recommend for an entertaining netflix kinda night.

Glad this movie finally came out. I watched because it was a "BMX movie" and at the half century mark BMX is important to me. I still ride! But the movie was way more than a BMX movie. John Buultjens' story is a great story that more people in today's world need to hear. He is livening proof a bad start in life can be overcome.
