Strengths:
The helmet cam footage is the best of any vid out there. Crash scenes section is pretty gnarly. I really enjoy the "Statements" and the music is pretty kickin'.
Weaknesses:
None that I can really think of. Too much Red Bull Freezeride footage.
Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
Between bikes right now
Bottom Line:
I really liked this video. It wasn't as good as some of the other videos (New World Disorder) but it was a good change from the huge huck films. This video inspired me to go out and ride! I think that it did have a little too much footage of the Freezeride (same ol' thing over and over) and not enough of the Rampage.
Canfield's segment was awesome, he is so smooth. Flyun Ryun cruising down that rocky trail was cool too.
The music really annoyed me the first time around. As I listened to it more and more it started to grow on me. Most of the songs in the video are from Workhorse Movement and Earth Crisis. Now I have the Earth Crisis CD!
All in all a good flick with great camera angles, awesome footage, and great riding. I give it 5 chilis!
PS, Order from JustPushPlay.com, they are the coolest! I got my order in just two days! Plus, they sent me a receipt for my credit card! No other company has ever done that.

Strengths:
Riding kicks total but, some new stuff I haven't seen before. Good camera work. Iinterviews were kinda cool.
Weaknesses:
Too much desert shots, needed way more shore stunts and ladders and THE MUSIC SUX! It's all horrible death metal! 2 good songs by pennywise and millencolin. What happened to the days when bike movies came with a rippin punk soundtrack, not all this pointless yelling.

Bottom Line:
Super good movie, buy it for the riding, but the music can lick my fat hairy balls. I'll post something when I can align some decent music to this video, ARRRGH! death metal! yuk!

Strengths:
Finally a bike DVD with some sound to it. Riding is awesome. Music produces testosterone. Bonus track dirt napping is raw and extreme. Can you say brain damage?
Weaknesses:
Too short!

Bottom Line:
I liked it. Great riding to behold. Music made me freak with energy...whatever. Crash scenes aren't do'n it for me anymore. I guess I'm desensitized after seeing so many on these vids. Good camera angles. Really liked the views they were capturing. Well done. Statements were a nice touch. Enjoyed hearing what these guys thought. Definitely check this out. I'm giving a "5" on value because this one sounded dynamic on my home theater system unlike many others. A "5" for overall because of the riding, music choice, and camera shots.
