YEAH RIGHT

The video features the skating talents of Girl riders Brian Anderson, Mike Carroll, Tony Ferguson, Rick Howard, Eric Koston, Rick McCrank, Paul Rodriguez, Jeron Wilson, Brandon Biebel, Robbie McKinley, Jereme Rogers and more. Also, the video is packed with cameos and special appearances, with people like Steve Berra, Jason Dill, Anthony VanEngelen, Owen Wilson, and Lance Mountain.

The selling point of the video is the remarkable skatin' and also it's use of special effects sections, usually marked by someone saying "Yeah Right!" or by it being written somewhere. These parts are great, especially from skating without boards (invisible decks), a trippy "Skatrix" part, and actor Owen Wilson talking trash and skating pretty well for warming up (watch and see).

The video starts with a tribute to Keenan Milton. This is a cool thing to see - he was very advanced and did a lot for skateboarding more than anyone realised. The section is older grainy footage (still very sick stuff, 360 a fish board), and sets a somber mood to the start of the movie. Then, after the tribute, the video moves into a sweet ass high quality intro with the camera in slow motion, zoomed in on a skaters feet just showing the trick (is very good to learn from). Its mesmerising and relaxing and sets the mood for the video. The girl team skates awesomely well and pushes things to new levels like Koston's varial to nose blunt down a sketchy rail. The only real drawback I thought of is to this videos lack of soundtrack credits! This movie has some great music, and you can find out who played what song by looking on message boards on the web. So it's not that big of a deal - it just seems strange to leave it out a small bummer. Yeah Right! Is a truly amazing skate video, and a recommended addition to any collection. It's on the clean side of skate videos, has awesome skating, and something for everyone a must buy.

Emerica -This is skateboarding

The video contains the skating from the very dynamic hammer dropping team consisting of Andrew Reynolds, Ed Tempelton, Tosh Townends, Chris senn, Eric ellington, Austin Stephens, Kevin long, Bryan Herman, Aaron suski, Leo Romero, Matt Allen, Braydon Szafranski and heath kirchart.

The quality of the skating in this film is exceptional, as you would expect from a line up of so many all-stars and legends.

The film is very mellow it relaxes you even when the big tricks start to come. The music also exemplifies the effect. The colours used in the film are also mellow there are lots of greys, whites and browns it makes the video very slick and stylish. The editing of the film is fantastic there is no slips or scrappy bits of footage were the cameraman cannot keep the camera still in his prepubescent excitement. Overall the video is put together very well.

Some of the parts are outstanding e.g. Kevin long that kid can pull some brilliant tricks. Mr Reynolds has his standard hammer throwing extreme flippy, grindy massive gap kickflipping part. Bryan Herman has created a brilliant breakthrough part and it shows now he may be going pro soon (well thats the rumour)

Overall Mike manzoori has made another very good video it has a nice variety of different styled skating and that is reinforced by the choice of music and the way the film is put together.

THE DC VIDEO

The video starts quietly with cinematic flight footage. The quiet hum of a helicopter and soft background music is all that's heard as the camera passes over a bleak high-desert landscape. And then you see it. A huge bad ass ramp in the middle of nowhere, with a lone skater (Danny Way) standing at the top. As the helicopter gets closer, the figure drops in. Wind rips at his shirt as Danny Way whales off the jump ram at the end, into free space...

The DC video is, in a word, fucking fantastic. You think it's a regular skate video, in that it shows footage of several DC skaters doing their best, along with some sweet bails which it is all that and so much more. You'll see Pros Danny Way, Colin McKay, Rob Dyrdek, Josh Kalis, Stevie Williams, Anthony Van Engelen and Brian Wenning, along with Ams Robbie McKinley, Ryan Smith, Greg Myers, Lindsey Robertson and Ryan Gallant. The footage is polished and very smooth, shot all over the world, from North America to Australia and to Europe. In fact, that's one of the best features of the video. The music and the footage have a crisp, cinematic feel which complement each other fantastically. It's obvious that DC put a lot of time, money and effort into their first video, which shows. The highlight of the video comes at the end, where we see the "Mega Ramp" all I can say for this ramp is whoa. Again that we got a little taste of it in the intro. To the soft rifts of an electric guitar, Danny Way and the huge ramp, he rides down pisses a backside 360 over the jump and lands on another ramp where he rides up and pulls off a backside air. The ramps get further and further apart, and he catches more and more air while the music slowly builds to the climax.

And then, incredibly, you witness Danny Way break not just one, but two world records consecutively -- the longest distance jump (75ft backside 360 air) and the highest air (23.5ft backside air). It's beautiful like a majestic animal. The Deluxe Edition video is packed with extras, like Christopher "Big Black" Boykin as Dyrdek Security - a huge guy following Rob Dyrdek around, dealing with security officers and skateboards that don't cooperate. Very funny. The DVD regular version of The DC Video doesn't feature all that much for special features and doesnt need to with that level of skating, but the Deluxe Edition is packed with extras, behind the scenes, new footage and previously cut footage. The Deluxe Edition also comes with an 86 page full colour book packed with awesome photos, info, interviews - all kinds of stuff or thats what I have bee told.

This is an excellent video, and for DC's first video made, they pulled out all their best and more. It's definitely worth the money. And if you're thinking about downloading it, then please kick yourself in the balls instead buy the video dont down load it, will be crap you need to buy it on video and dvd to live the crispiness, feeling, pain and power of the video. A must buy for any collection.
