How To Fly Fish Series, Lakes - Learn how to have more fun & success fishing lakes
Released in DVD by (01 June, 2002)
MPAA Rating: NR (Not Rated)
Directors: Jim Watt and Kelly Watt
Average review score:

Why the $$$? When you can watch it on tv?
I think it nowhere near even struck the middle ground. I mean if your idea of instruction is watching and listening to some blonde going OOOO! ...... AAAAAHHH! just 'cause she caught a fish (the first six fish caught on the DVD were by her and not the instructor)maybe you should check out some other web sites. The copy for this DVD is misleading. They only mentioned and showed pictures of 2 flys. The info. on float tubes was minimal. There just wasn't much instruction. I'm glad most of the money for this was a gift, since you can't return DVD's. If you want a deal, I'm putting it on Ebay tommorow!

How To Fly Fish Series - Lakes
This DVD was just what I was looking for in teaching me to fish lakes. I really liked the segment on the bugs. Two thumbs up!

This is good solid instruction!
This is one of several DVD's I received as a gift recently and since I've been fly fishing for quite sometime, i was a little concerned that this might be too basic. What i found was an excellent program about how to fly fishing for trout in western lakes.

Bill Marts is an excellent instructor, and his fishing firend, who apparently are also the producers of the DVD are accomplieshed without coming off as "know it alls".

I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to expand their knowledge of fly fishing in still water.

One other note, I particularly like the entomology section.

Chojun Miyagi Goju Ryu Karate Do Body, Mind & Spirit

MPAA Rating: NR (Not Rated)

Don't buy
The wrapping on this dvd and disc label is printed on a home printer. The DVD did not work on my Sony DVD player, desk computer, or laptop. I would not recommend putting down money for this product.
I was unable to watch the product, however the back label states, "the question of successorship is discussed without bias or prejudice to a logical conclusion based on the facts." Sounds like a biased statement in and of itself.

Great Historical Footage!
I received a copy of this dvd that didn't work either. I contacted the company and they said that they had just started putting this on dvd and were adding it to their list of products, but they had a problem with there distributor, so they
had made some preliminary copies to fill the orders. They have since then fixed the problems. They sent me a replacement (very
quickly) that had been professionally packaged and worked great. The video itself is some great historical footage of a martial arts legend. It's well done and well produced. In my opinion, it's the best documentary on Chojun Miyagi I have ever seen. If you have bought one and it didn't work, call them and they will replace it free of charge. 1-800-299-YAMA

Gromes: Extreme Skiing and Snowboarding
Released in DVD by K-Tel/Dvd (14 December, 2000)
MPAA Rating: NR (Not Rated)
Average review score:

Grommets
This DVD is actually about Grommets (not Gromes).

Has fantastic action from these champions of tomorrow between 8-18 years old. Shows Skiing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, skateboarding and climbing.

Excellent scenery and minimal commentary. A nice addition to the snowboarding or skiing collection especially for trick and big air enthusiasts. Is a good trick reference.

Extreme riding
Not a bad film by any means. A little short on the total length for my tastes and some of the music selections were a little questionable. Big air and deep powder - every riders dream.

Monkey on a String / My House
Released in DVD by Ventura Distribution (22 May, 2001)
MPAA Rating: NR (Not Rated)
Starring: Action Sports
This pair of half-hour films focusing on "wakeboarding," an extreme sport in which someone being towed behind a boat essentially surfs across the waves tossed up in the wake, are, in essence, extended music videos. If you're in the mood to stare at daredevils careening across the wakes of speeding boats while raucous music blares, then you'll be delighted. The two main programs on the DVD feature professional wakeboarders doing impressive stunts, which often involve mid-air flips. And while the individual moves are entertaining, the films are mostly content to simply show the action. There's no attempt in Monkey on a String to provide material that might answer some obvious questions, such as what possesses someone to pursue a bizarre endeavor like performing dangerous stunts on the end of a rope being towed by a speeding boat. The second feature on the disc, My House, takes a more human approach to the wakeboarders, showing them out of the water and engaged in mundane tasks like taking a child to school or eating breakfast with their family, but again, the soundtrack consists entirely of music, so you only get visual hints about the personalities involved in the sport. But in fairness, these films were designed for those in the mood to stare at wild stunts onscreen, and they provide a suitably extreme show for that purpose. --Robert J. McNamara

i am outraged
Monkey on a String is the horriblest movie ever. As a memeber of Peta I find puting monkies on strings to be irresponsible behavior. Monkies do not belong on strings. I think we should all band together to stop the mistreatment of the noble monkey.

Monkey on A string and My house kick arse man!
with the combined skill and adgillity, shawn, parks, darin, collin and more, take up the wakeboard scene in a big way and rip up the water with some huge tricks. Whirlybird 540's, s-bends and big worms are just some of the tricks that these up and coming armerican riders are performing
A definate watch!!

On Any Sunday 30th Anniversary Collection
Released in DVD by Monterey Home Video (11 December, 2001)
MPAA Rating: G (General Audience)
Starring: On Any Sunday and Bruce Brown
Average review score:

My name is Dana, and Dad said I could make a movie...
Let me clarify up-front: The main attraction, "On Any Sunday," earns 4 stars as a classic film. For any kid who saw this movie when it came out in 1971, it was a life-changing event. Most of us took up motorcycle riding because of it. And to see it again after so many years is a real thrill. It's the free-spirited, shaggy-haired, helmet-optional, no-padding, sunshiny '70s - with a parade of old, now-extinct dirtbikes to drool over. As with "Endless Summer," Bruce Brown shone sunshine upon a little-known pasttime and made it cool, accessible and very popular.

The big problem arises when Bruce's son Dana takes the helm to offer the "revisited" supplementary DVDs. What Dana has put together is a mish-mash of unused footage from the original - along with some 30-years-later home-video interviews with Dad, Malcolm Smith, Mert Lawwill, and a handful of the other racer stars of the movie.

As the "writer," Dana gives us only one-line-at-a-time, occasional screen text to tell the story. It's choppy, poorly written, grammatically flawed. For example, a sample line when Dana is explaining that we are seeing this footage for the first time. "It it being shown for the first time." It it??!! How could they miss that? And did Dana not inherit any of Dad's narrative skills? If you want us to feel that old Brown magic - then talk to us, don't type little bulletins across the screen with mis-spellings.

As "director" and "editor," Dana chops together average footage from 30 years ago with shallow reminiscences from today. It feels like someone's first project with a home-editing system. It looks like Bruce was interviewed at his dining room table - with no professional lighting and no professional camera work. And no professional interviewing skills. Note to Dana: The only way you're going to pull interesting stories from your interviewees is by asking interesting questions.

Ughh - I could go on and on. Long story short: buy the movie, "On Any Sunday." Skip the "revisit."

A Complete Picture
Yes, On Any Sunday was the original masterpiece but the updtated clips of the old masters in OAS Revisited & OAS Malcolm & More completes the picture.

Yes, I want to know and see what the old codgers look like now and how the ground breaking movie of 71 affected their lives.

Yes, Dana Brown's attempt does not match his fathers brilliance and his attempt is amateurish. It could be seen as downright expoitive of the original and purely a money making venture.

Yes, I'm a dirt-biking nut and I loved it anyway !

Pride FC - Beasts From the East
Released in DVD by Bci Eclipse Llc (22 October, 2002)
MPAA Rating:
Starring: Mark Coleman
Average review score:

Average show, could be better ...
Here's the short breakdown:
Yatsu vs. Goodridge: match could have gone longer but Yatsu was no match.
Silva vs. Yamamoto: match is a dud. Yamamoto was done before being KO'd
Rua vs. Matsui: one of the better yet more brutal match in the card, Matsui did all he could but still lost at the end.
Arona vs. Mezger: best match in the card, both men gave it all.
Schilt vs. Shoji: Goliath (Schilt) slayed David (Shoji), that's all I can say.
Frye vs. Yvel: Good match, could be better if Yvel stopped acted like a whiner and breaking the rules and Frye was healthy the whole time.
Coleman vs. Nogueira: tough match and Nogueira was better than Coleman on that day.
Overall, it's a good show and the opening scene was very emotional (held shortly after 9/11), but the flaw was that the first two match were too short.

Here is a fight listing for Pride 16 "Beasts from the East"
The fights may not be in this order on the DVD. Fairly short card and missing some of the bigger names, although Akira Shoji rarely has a bad fight, the same for for Daijiro Matsui

Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs Mark Coleman
Don Frye vs Gilbert Yvel
Semmy Schilt vs Akira Shoji
Ricardo Arona vs Guy Mezger
Murilo Rua vs Daijiro Matsui
Assuerio Silva vs Yoshihisa Yamamoto
Gary Goodridge vs Yoshiaki Yatsu

Roxy Surf, Now
Released in DVD by Red Distribution, In (30 July, 2002)
MPAA Rating: NR (Not Rated)
Starring: Megan Abubo and Kate Skaratt
Average review score:

Definitely aimed at teenage girls
I was worried that it would be aimed at the young, non-surfing Blue Crush crowd, but the Surfer Mag quote on the back ("Every girl, no matter how experienced they are, needs to have this video.") convinced me to buy this for my wife. She has some surfing experience, and I was looking for a video with good female surfing footage and good advice.

Unfortunately, this video is more about image. The first 10 minutes were downright laughable. It got better as it went on, since there are some great surfers in the video, but the actual surfing footage is sadly sparse. For some strange reason, they just kept showing duck dives and butt shots. You'd think that's all female surfing is about from watching this video. They have some great talent in the video but it mostly goes to waste.

The on-board surf-cam footage was really cool, but overall the video was a big disappointment. Too bad; it had potential with all that talent. (If you're looking for a video about the joys of duck diving, though, this one's for you!)

Beautiful-even as a stand-alone movie
I bought this as an instructional video-but it's so entertaining, and the photography is so incredibly cool and eyepopping-that it's really enjoyable as just a fun treat on it's own. The girls are great, the waves are often incredible, and you get all the basics, shown with no condescension-as if a girlfriend were taking you out to the beach for the first time. Really dug that camera-on-the-end-of-the-board thing. It's inexpensive, too. Can't go wrong!

Slednecks Trilogy (Slednecks / Slednecks 2 / Slednecks 3) (White Knuckle Extreme)
Released in DVD by Image Entertainment (30 October, 2001)
MPAA Rating: NR (Not Rated)
Starring: White Knuckle Extreme and Blair Morgan
Right at the beginning someone complains that every snowmobile manual warns that the machines are not to be used for jumping. So of course this entire production features relentless footage of skillful (and maybe a little crazy) fellows jumping their snowmobiles over hills and ramps and even off some fearsome cliffs. As a 65-minute compilation assembled from the best of three earlier Slednecks films, the action is predictably wild. There are hill climbs that look impossible and drops over sheer cliffs that defy all common sense. A flaming snowmobile (manned by a dummy, we hope) shoots over a cliff, crashes, and tumbles gloriously, tossing fireballs as it skitters across the drifts. The graceful scenes of what are essentially snowmobile acrobatics are also punctuated with occasional clips of vicious wipeouts and runaway machines, as well as a few recurring comedic bits featuring a redneck character named Jed. But for the most part this is a very professionally shot tribute to some very skillful snowmobile daredevils. --Robert J. McNamara

Misled...
I also thought this was all three movies on one DVD. Not until I actually read the back of the DVD flip-case did I realize it's a "best of" compilation. It's 65 minutes long compared to almost 180 minutes of the three movies combined.

Dont Be Fooled
This Slednecks Vid is awsome, its just that the review made it seem like i was going to get all of the vidio's in whole, and it is just a mix of some of the best clips of all three of the slednecks vidios. In my opinion, i would just by maybe slednecks three or get two if you are going to by any of them. It is nice to be able to see all of the whole movie instead of clips from all three mixed around.

Street Racing - Collector's 4-pack
Released in DVD by Multimedia 2000 (31 October, 2002)
MPAA Rating: Unrated
Average review score:

its ok for a 4 pack
Well,this dvd was ok...tghey could of used better camras for the night scenes this dvd did have the punch of the 360 videos or any othere street racing movie..i think i could of made one better this dvd seems like they did it with a computer but did know wat they where doing...So i gave it 2 stars for lack of punch i prefer 360 VIDEOS LIKE TIMELAPSE HARD DRIVE AND OTHER VIDEOS LIKE ON THE SCEEN 1,2 AND STREET FURY SO DONT BUY THIS VIDEO IF U WAN TTO GO AHEAD BUT THE DISC SCRACTHED EASY OLNY HAD IT FOR A DAY AND THE DISC DIDNT WORK!!

Bit Of Everything
This 4 pack has a little bit of everything which I am happy about. You will notice that it is an actual professional production by the camera work and by the sound quality.

You will then be able to jump to desired spots (as all DVD's should) which is a plus :)

The motorcycle videos included are bonus videos and if you are a rider/stunter then you won't notice anything special, just basic 2nd gear standups and stoppies. Nothing special.

The street racing is basically nightly straight line street racing although some highway footage was available which made me happy. I like to see actual racing in the city and on the highway, not one simple 1/4 mile race (yawn). For the price, I think it could be cheaper since it's nothing special but still none the less it's OK.

Basically, if you street race you won't enjoy it as much since it's basically what you already see everynight. The cars in this aren't anything special also. Nothing really monsterous or highly modified racing. The accident footage is always a plus though :)

Windsurfing Encyclopedia
Released in DVD by Image Entertainment (10 April, 2000)
MPAA Rating: NR (Not Rated)
Director: Dunayevich
Starring: Kiprov, Dunayevich, Mcgain, and Pritc
Average review score:

Great for watching some windsufers, not an Encyclopedia
The footage of people Windsurfing is great, as for production quality and actual content this is a pretty bad DVD.

For example. There's a section where they have some footage with a number of angles. Rather than actually use the angles feature of the DVD so that you can change the angle during the clip, you have to go back to the menu and select it.

I certainly wouldn't pay $30 for this, I'm very glad I rented it.

Not so great
I should have judged by the title. What settled for this because there were no others on the market. I wanted big air and amazing footage, and there isn't much.

Overpriced
This is a nice short film on windsurfing...visually interesting..nice features of being able to view either a back or forward loop from multiple angles...however, at only 50 minutes long, this should be priced in the $10-$15 range. I realize this is sold as Volume #1, but I will not be buying any future volumes at this price.
