$24.00 | | Purchased At: | wooden wheels | | Strengths: | great footage, it makes you feel like you're on a world cup course (for those of us who'll never be there). the music is great (unlike kranked)... interviews are great. | | Weaknesses: | none really. umm, it could be longer. | | Similar Products Used: | transcontinental | | Bike Setup: | what does this have to do with a video? i could be a beer sippin' fat couch potato who's never ridden a bike before and still like this video... | | Bottom Line: | this video kicks ass. i used to like the kranked trilogy. now i spend my time watching the two transcontinentals. they're great, the music is a lot better than other videos and the rider interviews are entertaining too. but i have a question... as good a rider as steve peat is, can he get any dumber? the man may be hell on wheels, but if i hear him say one more thing about "big, sharp, gnarly rocks"... | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$16.00 | | Purchased At: | Local MOTO shop | | Strengths: | This vid shows the super fast action that defines the World Cup...and I mean fast. | | Weaknesses: | It is too bad that after watching it ten times I became uninspired. Don't get me wrong, the riding is furious, but the toons w/ short clipped footage makes me want more...and I cannot explain why. | | Similar Products Used: | Every other vid it seems | | Bike Setup: | MODO 24's / monster T/ etc. just big and bad | | Bottom Line: | Get this vid because you cannot find any other worthwhile coverage of the world cup. Nohthing is too big, but it is faster than any of us could ever hope to be. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$19.00 | | Strengths: | Shows what the World Cup scene is really like! I didn't know how the racing life was until I saw this video. Some of those DH'rs are a little too fast. Just kiddin', this movie gets better every time I watch it! It makes me wanna grab my two wheel hog and start racin'. | | Weaknesses: | Short... | | Bottom Line: | Buy this movie now, or wait for the 2000 season video. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: May 8, 2000 | | Favorite Trail: | Mayonnaise(Gandys Gully) | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Strengths: | Sick vid. Non-stop DH action. Interviews with the best. It is sick that this vid came out seeming that there is no downhilling on TV here in Adelaide. Bloody TV stations. | | Weaknesses: | Nil. | | Similar Products Used: | Many DH vids including the sick Volatile Visions videos. | | Bike Setup: | Craftworks Moto Link / Boxxer 2000. | | Bottom Line: | Why can't there be more vids like this one. I hope another one comes out on the 2000 DH season. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: January 16, 2000 | | Favorite Trail: | steep st | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Strengths: | Behind the scenes from the 99 wc dh season. Great shots too. If you watched the 99 wc dh season on OLN this is a great summary of the season. But some of the camera work is better than OLN and OLN is good. Some videos have great shots of pros but you don't get to see their offbike personas. | | Weaknesses: | Peat didn't get the #1 plate. The copy I borrowed said $26, thats a bit much. | | Similar Products Used: | Similar dh videos, I'd like to here of them. | | Bike Setup: | kent chopper with those stringy things coming out of my grips and a neat bell that goes ching, ching. | | Bottom Line: | watch it | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

great action
sick moves
good directing and scene setting
Leigh Donovan +Tara Llanes, need I say more | | Weaknesses: |
most of the music sucks
too many Frenchies | | Similar Products Used: |
Kranked, Chainsmoke various others | | Bike Setup: |
Schwinn Moab, Xvert
Cannondale R1000 '98 | | Bottom Line: | Shows racing like it is- speed and pain. Good footage, but as said before, the music kind of blows compared to others like Chainsmoke (still the best). Good air, good crashes and a lot of faced paced competition. | | Overall Rating: |
