The Assignment with Nathan Woods I just finished watching this video and thought I’d share what a cool video it was. There is some awesome riding and it goes over some good techniques. The video has cool footage of what to do for log crossings, water, hill climbs, sand, steep declines, and it also has some footage of what NOT to do. I always like to see the footage of people screwing up so I know I’m not the only one out there that looks like a stooge sometimes. You can check out a trailer here: http://www.offroadmxhowto.com/
Stunning photography. Has anyone seen this? How is it? I bought the Shane Watts dvd and it was a huge infomercial.
I have it and it's well done. Although wattsy's dvd is indeed filled with sponsor ads it has more detailed info on riding techniques on various terrain. Woods dvd makes me feel like I can't ride very well cause he does it so well and makes it look so damn simple. I take these dvd's for what they are. For $25 I'll listen to sponsorship plugs, take in some good action photograghy, enjoy the opportunity to watch some extremely talented riders and maybe even absorb some of the info provided. It's alot easier to throw $25 away on nuthin' these days so IMO they are worth it. And remember, it's not like they're earning Bubba Stewart or Chad Reed salaries. Supporting them even if I only watch it a couple of times is OK by me. It's low budget as Woods or a friend of his is mailing these dvd's on a hand written envelope, most likely out of a their garage.
Oh yeah, I have the dirtwise video too (the first one, I guess he just made a new one) and I like it too. I agree with Wetdog, I'd rather spend it on this than some other stuff.
