disappointing to a hockey nut
Disappointing yes, but fun to watch!

Some Good Highlights But Not Really Worth It
Great DVD

DVD blank, returned to company five weeks ago, not replacedand tried to play but it was blank. I called the company and they said to send it to them. They knew a batch of DVD's were blank.
Over five weeks later I have not recieved a replacement, a letter or anything. I was ripped off. I would be happy to recant my statement if the DVD shows up in my mailbox and write a glowing review about it. So maybe this would get the company to send me the replacement DVD or send me a refund check. DO NOT BUY THIS DVD!!!!!
They finally sent me the DVDis a little rough, but the picture quality is better than most
of the training videos I've seen.


sloppy
posers?? not

Don't Buy This!
Very well pleased!I found it to be well orchestrated and highly informative about the Uechi Ryu style and the history of it's techniqes. It teaches alot about the style and as I said before the quality is fine and completely acceptable.


Worst of the three, and that's badThis video has a feel about it that the makers were trying to maximize profits by minimizing costs. There are only a couple of locales that are used, one is what appears to be somebody's back yard that they made into a dirt jumping course. There's that and some hucking off of the same sort of cliff, a little bit of technical downhill, and alot of urban trials, lots of jumping down stairs.
If you want to see a well balanced video, get either the latest in the New World Disorder or Kranked series. This was a bigger disapointment than Star Wars:Episode 1.
L-A-M-E, weak, generally not very goodThis movie (unless you just LOVE urban trials) is a definate DO NOT buy. The music is sub par, riding is the same thing over and over, one shot is a jump normal speed, the next shot (no, I'm not kidding) is the same jump in slow motion. Krispy needs to give these guys the slip because he's more talented than this movie shows.
Fat Tire Fury is still my favorite MTB movie, best riding, best locations, best music.

Unfortunately, covering 17 days and 24 sports in such a limited time means that most of the individual runs and the opening and closing ceremonies are edited. In addition, Bob Costas's constant narration might not be for everyone, and skating fans will be disappointed to hear New Agey music accompanying the routines in place of the competition music. --David Horiuchi

How disappointing!I bought it hoping that it would cover the games from a historic perspective and give the viewer a feeling of being there. It did not mention the venues in any great detail, the city or state, or the hard work of the locals. It did not mention the commradery of the competitors that comes along every few years. It did not capalize on the thousands of feet of footage available and barely even touched on the limits of the DVD format. They told the story - but only at an arms length. Even interviews with were in the 'bonus' section of the DVD.
What a waste! I'll try the figure skating tape (which is what I'm interested in). But on VHS? Give me a break!
bad compilationbut it was not the original, had its own music over it and just plainly... For example, the pairs skating of both the Russian and Canadian teams, yes they were complete, but it wasn't the one seen on TV with the music that they skated to with the commnetary. It has music over it and was extremely dissapointing. If you want to remember the events for the way they happened, this DVD isn't the way to go
Best (but only) Video Scrapbook Available-more behind the scenes footage (perhaps never before aired).
-what it was like to be there: to obtain tickets and to attend an event (including traffic, bus rides, and security).
-scenes from the olympic village (athletes quarters), and olympic square/medals ceremonies (downtown).
-clips from Jay Leno's hysterical late night coverage (including "Ross the Intern's" live reports).
-medal award ceremony pagentry, awards, and concerts.
-and full coverage of sporting events including opening and closing ceremonies (even if it requires a boxed set).


What's in the Air is Definitely Not ApplauseSomething in the Air is actually a gathering of footages from other snowboard/ski films (mostly snowboard). Think of it as a kind of greatest hits video of filmmakers who didn't have any hits. What you get is footages from FLF films, some euro clips, and other shots from videos you've never heard of. FLF is known for making some of the chezziest snowboard movies on the market. Imagine a DVD where the best footages come from FLF. That's like a basketball team where the tallest player is Danny DeVito.
What's so bad about the footages? To put it simply: the editing is poor, the music is poor, the angles that capture the riders are poor, and the terrain where the riders ride is poor. All the footages are constrained by tight budget and insufficient crew workers, and it shows.
If you've never seen a snowboard film ever, this may be an adequate choice because seeing a pro rider charging the backcountry is no laughing matter. But make note there are better choices out there. Standard Films, Mack Dawg, and Whitey films are good starts.
Old School Snowboarding
Something in the AirIt also visits some of the best terrain and shows some of the best "First Descents" in Alaska I have seen.
The DVD includes some excellent terrain park action for both skiers and snowboarders.
Definitely worth having on the shelf if you enjoy extreme action.


21st Century NFL Follies not what I had hoped.
