FAT's DVDMAN was on holiday for a while but coming home he found a bunch of new DVD's on the floor and is starting to review again. First I took this SOUL 25 cause I know that I don't have to watch an hour of bad filming/editing/riding so its just like a new Bad Religion CD: Always good and worth the money!
After 25 quality issues it's hard to keep people entertained but after Thomas Fritscher and Dominik Wrobel entered the SOUL crew to help out Thomas you see some changes and that's a cool thing.
Although I did some skateboarding in the early 80's and are not afraid of any crossover I don't think the 15 seconds of Sk8boarding add something to this SOUL BMX but at least it's a new feature, next time we see: Wakeboarding / Snowboarding / MX / Hula hoops / YoYo's / MTB trails? Hope SOUL is keeping the BMX SOUL alive like they always do.
This Issue shows events like: BACKYARD JAM BOURNEMOUTH with the Beringer and Rooftop show/ John Heaton and Dean Hearne killing themselves and more killing stuff.
ROOTS JAM ORLANDO with Danny Hickerson showing that unknown riders needs to be in dvd's too. Of course the Pro's are covered as well: Aitken, Harrington to name a few. MYSTICPARK PRAG was the event of Wicke with so many good stuff it is almost impossible that 1 rider can handle so many tricks. Also König / Senad / Miller / Heyer / Ziegler / Geyer / Wilke and Halfpipe riders Simon Tabron and the Spanish Fly Eduardo are doing their thing at the hope to be the 2005 Worlds spot…
The WORLDS COLOGNE 2004 are found in lots of dvd's but Thomas & Thomas always find new angles so be surprised with things you didn't even see while you were there.
Bio's from ISAAC BARNES CANADA who is not afraid to die, real street rider that don't hold back. EBEN FISCHER is not from Germany but the USA and this white haired guy shows and tells you where he rides. BENNO HANKOWETZ is an awesome rider from Austria who rides Parks and Street and is the "other" rider from Austria. (Senad)
Quickspin: Berlin / UK trails / Derby / Woodward east / Oldenburg / AustinTX / Tuttlingen Timo Gewald / Klagenfurt Senad & Sergio / Paris with Barry Kohne and Hannover with Ziegler.
Bonus: Worlds Cologne, Jam Wermelskirchen, Roadtrip Lake Constance, Amsterdam Homemade jam with the Martinez and Aitken show and the Doubleflip of Chris Mahoney at the Worlds Cologne. Crash section can be found somewhere in this DVD, it's a secret……go and buy this one and keep the SOUL ALIVE!!!!
