Allan Cooke likes touring. He likes it so much that he fixed a co-sponsorship with Eastern Bikes so he could be part of their tours. Allan also bought a huge RV so he can live on the road whenever he feels like it. But there's more, Allan is the one who started the Local Exposure tour last year. The idea behind it is to visit local parks with a bunch of (pro) riders and check on the local talent. At each stop the locals end up with cool prizes from Allan's sponsors (Specialized, Boost, FOX, DC, Mountain Dew). The pros then pick an overall winner that can hop in the tour vehicle the next year. Last year's winner Quinn Semling enjoyed the privilege in 2005. With so much talent around at the local parks, combined with riding from Morgan Wade, Dan Sieg, Will Love, Allan Cook, Brian Kachinsky, Dave Freimuth and Leigh Ramsdell, it is agreat idea to make a DVD out of it. Throw in characters Micah Kranz, Biz and Catfish and you've got some humor on board.

The intro is well done. Everyone on the tour gets described with the help of a T-shirt, a hat and an illustration. There is attention to detail that you will understand when you know the riders..
