"Unlimited" XCZONE's hot new multisport DVD! Yeehaw!
Those Canucks really know how to do an outdoor sport movie.
None of this lame-o, poser stuff. It's all nature action all the time. With freely applied rowdy music. (The director's explanation part of the DVD says one of the main tunes was picked coz his young kid wanted it. Now that's a good reason! Play it if someone wants to hear it! Can't lose.) The DVD is "Unlimited: clean oxygen fed sport." Has everyone been watching theirs already? OK, I'm already starting to feel, like, totally spoiled. I mean, what more do we need in this life anyway? We have that guy's TV feed uploads of XC racing to show us the best of how everyone is skiing with the click of a button. --Or to show us how the rollerski world cup is doing. I mean, everything we love is right there nowadays. XCZONE came out with that last superhot XC film, now they come out with this one! My gosh! I hope it never ends, that's for sure! Their new flick "UNLIMITED" follows a trajectory we all know and love and which no one else has paid attention to befo it shows what crazy outdoor people do all year 'round. Simple. Turn the camera on people doing their thing. Instant variety. Winter, spring, summer, fall, winter, spring... Plus lots of extra features. GEEZOPETES! And holy smokes I just now realized that I haven't even watched THE TECH DVD YET! I've just been watching the MOVIE disc. Ha! More goodies ahoy. What a goof. ---I bet it'll even have something on why to not bring your feet together in V2. Anyway, the darn movie starts as good as I could ask. Totally OYB: it's a video-show (I don't know what you call these things) that looks retro and is set up that way, to look like vintage 30's ski footage, of XC people on long old wood skis and ole leather boots. Then some freak in wool whips by doing a fool new skate move and the others join in. Fun follows as people explore what you can do with big boards: including some backwards tele action. Knickers in full deployment. Then the whole rock'n'roll show starts in earnest and never lets up. You get yer skiing. Then a movie of a showdown between rock-runnin fools and mtbike champs on some great singletrack. Then bike racing, inline racing, rollerski racing, triathloning, a bunch of adventure racing...clapskating with Pilot-skates. My LORD! Toss in all kinds of nature footage, wave-paddling, hanggliding, and it's pure overdose. The director's version is neat to watch because you learn how hard and tricky it all was to film. I guess filmmaker David had to do lots of running in front of and behind bikes on singletrack carrying a steadycam. Sounds like fun. Did I say that Gatineau Park is HUGELY featured throughout??? WHAT A PLACE! I've never been there. Of course I have to go. I've had to go for years, now I really do. That RUINS stuff is wonderful! Why didn't y'all tell us? The DVD ends up with a great long video-song of a rockin guitar playing dude in the Ruins with ski dudes and dudettes swirling around him the whole time. That video hugely needs some MTV rotation. Thanks, David and Lise! Keep makin movies! OK, I'm going to pop on that darn Tech disk now. Ya know...my bro took some footage of me doing canoe-poling in my race-C1 a couple falls ago. The leaves looked lovely, the sun shining thru the golden hull. Nice red'n'black checked jacket. And real nice dyno action. That would make a nice movie. I should convert some of my darn footage into whatever it is, MPEGs, and put em at my website. I have a video card in this thing. I wonder how that all works. Well, ya know, I find it's usually not that tricky: Pete just sent me a test audio file for our audio version of his book. He couldn't play it much, but I converted it and burned it onto a CD and it played in my stereo! We're on our way there, for sure!

"Unlimited" XCZONE's hot new multisport DVD! Yeehaw!
Well, how can I resist after that glowing recommendation? I have
their other DVDs and would have bought this one as soon I knew it was released anyway. It was your writeup last year that got me buying Momentum, too! How much commission are you getting on these reviews? :-) Jeff Potter wrote in message ... Those Canucks really know how to do an outdoor sport movie. None of this lame-o, poser stuff.

Why didn't y'all tell us? We've *been* telling you! Just not as well as this. Now you know why our house prices are so out of sight!! Anyway, the taxes are going up, and there's the government mentality to deal with, and you gotta learn to say "eh" at the right time, and it's really really really cold, and you probably wouldn't like it. I understand Vermont is much nicer. See you this winter! Tim |
