Strengths: UNREAL riding skills by all the riders! great video production, fantastic locales, awesome helmet cam footage, REAL knarly crashes, shows some of the north shore's best man-made stunts. unicycle guy will BLOW YOUR MIND!Weaknesses: gives viewer nearly uncontrollable urge to buy Norco freeride bike and move to North Shore.Bottom Line: i have heard of the north shore riders, and even seen some photos of them, but i never realized just how good they were until i saw this video. huge drops, incredibly steep and rocky terrain, logs, teeter-totters, 2X4s suspended 10 feet in the air, is there anything these guys CAN'T ride??!!
kris holm (the unicyclist) does things you won't believe even after witnessing it with your own eyes. i really liked the helmet cam footage, it gives you a rider's perspective of the fantastic things these guys do. video quality is excellent, much better than many other MTB videos. you can also learn a lot by using your slo-mo button and checking out their technique. if you love mountain biking and radical stunts, you need this video! five HUGE flamers!!!

Strengths: Huge Drops, Urban Assualt, Painful Crashes, Best of the north shore trailsWeaknesses: The unicycle guy has crazy skills (but not crazy enough to make me want to watch only him for half an hour!) The snow is cool but also gets old fast. Some people may be into the soundtrack (I wasn't really)Bottom Line: The actual riding is huge, fast, and crazy. The video isn't as professionally done as something like kranked but still is good enough to really get into. I especially liked the street section (i haven't seen this on many other videos). The film is a little long (some of the riding at the end isn't that great and could have been cut) but overall is definately a good buy.

Strengths:
Huge jumps, drops. urban assualtWeaknesses:
lots of drops. film quality. Lack of trials footageBottom Line: pretty good vid could use more entertainment featurs. some pretty crazy stuff. however for a third vid the handy cam just doesn't do a good enough job. Great angles and fiming just it's like watching a home vidio. Should of taken money from the first two and updated the vidio equipment or editing devcices(editor)

Strengths:
EVEN BETTER than the first two.
Urban assault footage was incredible.
Chris Holm is doing most of the stunts the bikes are in this one.
The usual crowd's up to their normal standards, and some on the new guys (like Chris Donahue) are incredible.Weaknesses:
Some may not like the music.
Wot, no Carys?Bottom Line: Todd's put this one together even better (slicker & more together) than the first two attempts. Some may say that there isn't enough actual 'shore trails, but as it's an hour overall I think there's just as much in there. The urban assault sections were pretty incredible.It's mad to see what Chris Holm can ride this year with his MTU, those drops must have hurt.From what I hear there may not be an NSX IV :(, but I certainly hope not! I hope you guys manage to sort things out with the council so that you can keep things going, good luck!NB. Nice Brodie Dan, I see you've gone over to the dark (dualie) side at last like Kim Steed. Interesting to see Knolly back on his Hardtail though.BTW. For all those who say they can't find it, you can get it over the web through King Of The Shore (KOTS.com) if you can't get it otherwise, it's well worth getting!

Strengths:
Digger once again has some of the best footage of the North Shore. A must buy for any North Shore enthusiast. There is tons of huge drops done by different guys from different angles. You will ant to have some good slow motion actin on your VCR because twenty foot drops go buy in less than a second. Some incredible helmet cam and beautiful scenic shots of snow riding. There is alos alot of humorous drops as well. Some great crashes as usual but not too many as the first one had. Some people think that it is too long but how can you complain. I figure with digital videos like this the more the merry. Great entertainment!Bottom Line: Great entertainment.

Strengths:
cable camWeaknesses:
60 mins.????Bottom Line: this video started out good...then came the unicycle. there is like 7.5 mins of this guy on a unicycle!!! what's with that. lose the circus act man. it is kinda cool sure, for maybe a minute. the video is WAY TO LONG. an hour. by the time you get past the uncycle you are ready to turn it off. it should've stoped at the 30 min mark. to many repetitive shots of the same stunt with different riders and diffenent angles. really not worth the hype. sorry digger, the video is lame. there are rider segments that are too long, they get boring, watching the same guy on a hard tail jump street stuff. same style stunt, different location, get some diversity in the segments. the video did look good though. a far cry better than the first two attempts. looks more professional, and that cable cam stuff rules. also needs beter music. it is a must see for any rider who is curious about the north shore. all in all not bad, just too long, and too much unicycle. better luck next time. I'll be waiting.
