Mini
Warriors 4 is the latest installment of young folks tearing it up on motorised
beasts! Seriously though, the skills shown here are absolutely amazing and
these kids deserve all the props that their pro contempararies get on the
daily. In fact it's all the more scary to realise that these are kids who are
flinging themselves into the air on their bikes, doing insane tricks and then
bringing it all back home again. If you are expecting anything less than an
outstanding disc because of the age of the riders, think again as this DVD
staggered me all the way through, the quality of the riders is that damn
good.
One of
the first things that you will notice is that this disc is really good looking
on your screen and it's because parts of it have been shot on film and totally
rule. I reckon it's a tough thing for this sort of disc as you really feel
like you have to keep explaining that there is no compromise at all on the
disc other than the fact that there isn't a concentration of babes through it,
nor is there a huge flesh show tattoo wise. In fact it could be argued that
this disc focusses more on the riding than any of the other discs in this
genre with 'adult riders'.
Another
thing that I loved about this disc was the old school soundtrack including the
Beck track during the Eli Tomac piece, the music the whole way through is
sensational and totally suits. There's a running time on this puppy of about
45 minutes and if you want to see who is up and coming on the MX scene (and
who has the skills to totally kick the current pros to the curb), this is one
DVD that you really need to be watching. It's simply cool as hell and a great
addition to the collection; great riding without all the BS that normally
occurs when the riders are a bit older.
For
those who want to really trip out, make sure that you check the Ryan Sheckler
piece. I saw this kid ride at Globe World Cup back in Feb 2004, however this
disc is from 2001 and he's only 11 and totally killing it. Sheckler is one of
those absolute prodigies that you will have to keep your eye on as if he
doesn't burn out earlier, he will be a household name one day, as he already
is at least within the skating world.
All
things said and done, you won't be wasting your cash if you buy this one. |
