:58:06
A father and his son.
:58:07
An icon and his legacy.
:58:09
An epic race witnessed
mostly by cactus.
:58:12
No TV. No adoring crowds.
Just the clarity of the moment.
:58:15
A clarity that can give a racer a greater
appreciation of place and of people.
:58:20
An awareness of the give and take.
The golden rule.
:58:23
For six-time champion
Malcolm Smith.
:58:25
Giving back is more important
than any victory.
:58:27
One of Malcolm's favorite things to do
is to visit a little community
:58:30
just outside of Trinidad.
:58:32
He and his son Alex
bring their bikes and buggies
:58:34
and give the local kids a thrill.
:58:36
How can I give back to Baja
some of the enjoyment I've had?
:58:39
We started donating time
and effort and money
:58:42
about eight years ago here.
:58:44
They only had a little bit of one house done
when we first started here.
:58:49
No, it's really fun.
:58:50
We come down here every year
and I've been seeing kids here
:58:53
for eight years now.
:58:54
And it's kind of nice to come down here
and see 'em over and over again.
:58:59
Two days after we filmed this.
:59:01
Malcolm. Alex.
And a dozen of Alex's classmates
:59:03
poured the foundation for a library
to be built right there on turn four.
:59:07
The kids truly appreciate the time
and attention the Smiths give them.
:59:10
Being orphans.
They know it's not always available.
:59:15
They are all from Mexicali,
Tijuana, Ensenada.
:59:18
And we have a few
from the local town, Valle de Trinidad.
:59:23
It brings tears to my eyes
:59:25
thinking of these kids being abandoned
on the streets of Mexico,
:59:28
and now to think what they have here
and what opportunities they have here.
:59:32
To me that's the most important thing
about Malcolm.
:59:35
He wants to be here.
:59:36
He wants to feel
what it's to be with our kids
:59:39
and, you know, spend some times
and, you know, give them some joy,
:59:44
not only the bunk beds they receive,
:59:47
not only the water pump they receive,
:59:49
or all the things they have
because of Malcolm Smith.
:59:52
I learned lessons from 'em,
like you can never quit down here
:59:56
'cause if you do,
it's a major problem for you.
:59:58
You can never quit on any race,
