The Age of the ‘Supercross’ Cast at the Time of Release

Actors Steve Howey and Mike Vogel, who portrayed two brothers who are fiercely competitive motocross racers, were 27 and 25 years old, respectively, when Supercross was released. Cameron Richardson, who portrayed Piper Cole, was 25 years old at the film’s release.

Behind the Scenes: Filming Locations and Motorcycle Modifications

The exterior shots of the Team Nami building are not as they appear. They were actually filmed at the Kawasaki Motorcycle Headquarters, which was previously located in Irvine, California.

Interestingly, despite the appearance in the shots, the location did not have a private test track adjacent to the property.

Fans of the “450 Nami” bikes ridden by K.C. and Rowdy may be surprised to learn that they are just dressed-up Honda 450s. The modifications were made to give them a unique appearance for the film.

Steve Howey, who portrays K.C. Carlyle, and Cameron Richardson, who plays Piper Cole, have more in common than just this project.

They also worked together on two episodes of the American comedy-drama show Shameless in 2011, where they played the characters Kevin and Cheryl, respectively.

Rag & Bone Newbury Boots: A Celebrity Favorite

Chad Michael Murray’s ex added a pop of color to her ensemble with a red bag and finished the outfit with a pair of Rag & Bone “Newbury” boots.

The monochromatic head-to-toe look was undeniably slimming, though a bit too dark for a bright spring day on the West Coast.
