The etnies movie is great. Aaron Ross had many people shake their head with the riding he showed. Brian Kachinski is one bad motherfucker and he can take a crash (or two). He also pulled big rails and went burly. Sandy Carson had a great part and Jamie Bestwick's vert part took some work. A super wide vert ramp was set up in the middle of a desert and Jamie flowed from one side to the other. It's nice to see good vert riding in a BMX video. Adam Baker took care of the dirt part, Rooftop always comes up with some interesting footy and Josh Stricker has the speed. Taj, Joe Rich (let's go to the Cayman islands!!!), Sergio Layos and Garrett Byrnes had exclusive spots in their section and Morgan Wade is plain wild. Did we miss parts of John Heaton, Hannu Cools and Dave Freimuth? Brett Walker and Kurtis Ellwell were part of the video and the banger of the video was Ruben Alcantara. That bridge - wallride was insane. Someone yelled: "Doesn't count!" when he took his foot off at the landing but we consider it done.
Mike Manzoori used a unique style and different music and it gives the Grounded DVD a special feeling. One that stands out from the California blue sky sunshine videos or night time street vids. We give it the thumbs up, both of them.
