Four DVD's You Must Own
The motivation, and sometimes the food of inspiration for us through the long winter months, these DVD's all give you want you want. They all provide you with that nervous twinge as you start picturing yourself doing some of the crazy shit these people do. Here are the reviews on these cool DVD's.
New World Disorder II
This frenetically paced tribute to freestyle mountain biking follows hotshot riders in glamorous locations as they show off their best tricks for the cameras, which are frequently shooting from helicopters. A segment aptly titled "Hell Track" follows two riders as they hurtle down an absurdly steep and high wooden ramp and proceed to rocket across dirt humps, more wooden ramps, and various other gnarly obstacles assembled in the California desert. Throbbing music and plenty of slo-mo daredevil tricks showcase the action appropriately. Other segments shot in Morocco, New York City, British Columbia, and Utah follow riders at breakneck speeds as they defy gravity (and common sense) on zigzag courses and mountain jumps, and even perform some urban BMX style tricks. There's a lot of variety (including a unicycle trick segment) and the camera work is uniformly excellent, so this production holds up as a great look at some of the wildest action on spoked wheels. --Robert J. McNamara

New World Disorder
Most people seeing the beautiful stone walls of a Western canyon would be content to gaze at the view or snap some photos. But not the fun-loving maniacs in this production, whose natural inclination is to jump, bounce, skid, and careen down the canyon walls on bicycles. Besides some truly spectacular cliff jumps, this tribute to "new school mountain biking" also features segments showing off deliriously reckless riders balancing precariously atop a strange elevated roadway made of logs and boards in the middle of a pine forest, plenty of "dirt jumping," and clips of riders going all out in more conventional downhill mountain bike racing. A few comic interludes, including scenes accurately titled "Nuns with Guns" don't get in the way too much, and this is mostly a beautifully shot and exciting tribute to daredevils pushing their pedals to their limits. --Robert J. McNamara
