	BREAKING AWAY
		Breaking Away is a dice-free race game and one that is good enough to bear comparison with the standard setters such as Hare and Tortoise, Bantu and 6-Tage Rennen.
		The basic idea in Breaking Away is that in a road race you have to use your energy efficiently and that means knowing when to conserve your energy by sitting in the pack and when to strike out so as to give yourself a chance of the points and the prizes.
		Three things complicate matters: the first is, of course, that the others are trying to do the same; the second is that you are limited in your choices by the cards you hold, making forward planning a necessity; and the third is that at the one third and two thirds distance there are bonus sprints.

	Breaking Away (1979) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		I was nine years old when I first saw 'Breaking Away', and I think the book adaptation may have been the first more-or-less novel-length thing I ever read.
		My wild enthusiasm after leaving the theatre was similar at the time to my previous reaction to 'Star Wars', a fact that I attribute to the natural electrical charge of the endings of both films.
		BUT...'Breaking Away' is not just a bicycle film - not by a long-shot, and I knew it then too, but that just wasn't very important to me at a time when bicycles were all-important.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Breaking Away at Epinions.com
		"Breaking Away" was a sleeper, a low-budget film with an (then) unfamiliar cast that was released to critical and commercial success.
		Some of the drama (especially in the closing race) is a bit contrived, but most of it works, as does most of the comic relief.
		"Breaking Away" stars four unemployed teenagers who have just graduated from high school, and are unsure of whether to attend college.

	Breaking Away (1979)
		A charming tale of four high-school graduates, Breaking Away powerfully evokes the feeling of being set adrift in wonderful summer and autumnal tones.
		Their concerns and the situations within which they find themselves are perceptively handled, without the falseness that many films succumb to by over-dramatisation.
		There is a great deal to like in Breaking Away, even if some of the cycling scenes are a touch silly.

	BREAKING AWAY - DVD
		There's a joy to Breaking Away that forgives its occasional skylarking and narrative dips into the cliché pool--a scene in which Dave drafts an eighteen-wheeler on the freeway remains an eloquent expression of that freedom which comes with desire and hope.
		Breaking Away soars in scenes like this, making bold pronouncements through images of the American middle with little fanfare or pontification.
		Two TV spots and a trailer for Breaking Away plus bathetic previews for other "Family Features" selections: The Sandlot, My Bodyguard, Rookie of the Year, and Baby's Day Out round out the double-sided platter.

	Breaking Away Movie: Breaking Away DVD is available from Bestprices.com
		BREAKING AWAY is a winning coming-of-age story with unusually well drawn characters, smart social commentary, and a terrific ensemble of fresh-faced actors soon to be famous.
		The rivalry between townies and college kids sets the scene for the story of four friends trying to figure out their future after high school graduation in Bloomington, Indiana.
		So now that Mike (Dennis Quaid) is no longer a star quarterback, Moocher (Jackie Earl Haley) can't decide if he wants to break up or marry his girlfriend, and quick-witted Cyril (Daniel Stern) can no longer play the class clown, they have no idea what to do with themselves.

	DVD review of Breaking Away - DVD Town (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		“Breaking Away” is a sweet, warm, thoughtful, lightly comic look at small-town youths on the brink of adulthood, a refreshing, coming-of-age teen movie that doesn’t insult our intelligence or embarrass us with grossness but relies on charm and humor for its insights.
		“Breaking Away” is a part of Fox’s first round of “Family Features” on DVD that also includes “The Sandlot,” “My Bodyguard,” “Rookie of the Year,” and “Baby’s Day Out.” For my money, “Breaking Away” is far and away the best and most inspirational of the pack (although “The Sandlot” is not all that far behind).
		There are two TV spots and a well-worn theatrical trailer for “Breaking Away,” plus trailers for each of the other Fox “Family Features” mentioned at the outset; and that’s about all.

	Frequently Asked Questions (Breaking Away)
		Either way, if there are some things about Breaking Away that need clarification, chances are you'll find them covered on this page.
		The example in the rules is correct - that is to say, when breaking away it is possible to get a replacement value of less than 3.
		(OK, it was sloppy terminology but the ruling still stands; the rationalisation is that a cyclist who has attempted to break away but has not managed to do so by more than 2 squares is worse off than had he remained back with the pack).

	Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood: 'Breaking Away' with Bart Simpson
		Well anyone who knows that scene well and also watched "The Simpsons" on Sunday night probably recognized a quick parody of "Breaking Away" featuring Bart and the neighborhood bullies, but for all those that didn't catch it, I'll try to fill you in on the show's first real homage to bicycle racing.
		He immediately took off down the road, still wearing his pajamas, when he spotted the older boys out for one of their "group rides." Here, on an ordinary neighborhood street in Springfield, America, the "Breaking Away" homage began.
		Although it was only the first five minutes of the half-hour program, it was great to see the show's writers give a nod to both to an Academy Award-winning film and the all-important neighborhood street sprints that bike riders across the world grew up with.

	Madison - a Breaking Away variant
		Teams of 2 instead of 4 are taking part of the race (you can paint the riders with different colours, perhaps putting stripes on their shirts but leaving the bases and bikes the same colour so you can still use the teams for the original Breaking Away game).

		The races are run over 4 laps, and there is only one scoring stage for each lap and this is triggered by cyclists crossing the Start line.

		The soundtrack also cuts away between Dave's live performance and his Italian recording of the same song that his mom is playing to set the proper mood at home.
		Although on first glance it appears to be just another "coming of age" story, Breaking Away has many more layers of meaning woven into its script.
		These topics include people's feeling about college, the generation gap, class consciousness between rich students and poorer townspeople, ethics in professional and amateur sports, and what the four "cutter" boys try to do about the direction of their lives.
