Home of, The Regular Guy and Adventure
Check out my reviews on the latest action DVD’s and Movies.
It still confuses me a little when I think of Nike and snowboarding or surf in the same sentence. I mean, they were always mainstream sport and now they are out of surfing again… but, hell, Nike dont play games and if this teaser is anything to go by, the movie, Never Not Part 1, is going to be insane! They have a crazy team including Gigi Ruf, Danny Kass and Scotty Lago and the riding will be mental! I for one cannot wait to see it…
What can you say really, but welcome to urban wakeboarding! These guys risk skin, body parts, the onset of gonorrhea and destroying equipment to get the shot! Made by Shred Town with the help of Slingshot and Alliance Wake and System 2.0, the teaser looks insane and I cannot wait to see the full film.

I am so excited to watch this film! The Motivation takes us behind the scenes and into the lives of 8 of the biggest names in professional skateboarding, to show us how they got where they are and what it takes to stay there. For any kid planning on attempting this life, this movie will be a must see!
Eight of the world’s best pro-skateboarders prepare for the upcoming Street League Championship in NYC. Each equally talented, they all must overcome unique challenges – family pressures, injuries, money, fame and their own internal struggles – for a chance to win $200,000 and the title of best street-skateboarder in the world
WOW! Danny Macaskill has long been hailed as the king of Trials and his web videos have done some serious viral runs, but this new film with Red Bull is going to go bigger. Working with the Red Bull Media House Crew and some serious budget, Danny takes us back into mind as a child and where it all began for him with some pretty serious props and creative film making. Watch this one in full screen and enjoy…

It has been a while since an epic and grand big mountain film has hit our screens, so i am really excited to see this one!
Blur the lines between dream state and reality, as you perceive the world through the minds of many. Into the Mind contemplates the experiences passed between mentors and peers to paint a philosophical portrait of human kind. What drives us to overcome challenge? How do we justify risk? What forces are at the core of a mountain addiction? Unique athlete segments over a multitude of mountain sport genres depict the connectivity of Earth, and window into never seen before moments. Explore how we begin our perception of self, construct the foundations of confidence, and are ultimately led up the path of self-actualization.
As Buddha once said, “The mind is everything. What you think you become.”
Into The Mind is about becoming.

About: FROM THE DIRECTORS OF DEAR SUBURBIA…
The world is filled with distractions. everything around us blinks, rings, sings, shouts, distracts, vibrates, reminds, likes, comments and down- loads. the chaos and beauty of the world is being overshadowed by technological distractions and tweets that possess no lasting significance outside the screen they’re displayed.
Anything sing is our attempt to rise above that chaos by creating our own environments and settings. on different surfaces. new canvases. on concrete. on walls. on water. on arms, with ink. something permanent. Like moments.
Director: Kai Neville / WHAT YOUTH
“A Dingo’s tale tells the journey of a young boy who grew up in a violent and unstable environment but was saved by the ocean and surfed his way to the top of the world.”
I have been waiting for a couple of months for this movie. Ever since I watched the surf film, 3 Degrees, I have been a Dean Morrison fan. He was the quiet kid in the shadow of his more well know mates, Parko and Mick Fanning. But there was something about him that drew my attention. He is one of the best tube riders of all time. Growing up at Snapper and Kirra on Australia’s Gold Coast will do that. But, it was something more, a feral edge to the man behind the quiet and almost shy exterior. Watching this movie, it all became a bit more clear to me. Dingo grew up in a turbulent home, surrounded by drugs and domestic violence. His only escape was surfing. When he met Rabbit Bartholomew, his mentor and guardian, at age 12, his life would change forever. Even rabbit was astounded by the drive Dean showed as a grom to be a pro surfer. More than he wanted it, he needed it! In the end, maybe to his own detriment as a competitor. This is the main story, and almost one could say tragedy of Dean’s life – and boy does he have some tragedy! How would you feel losing your wife, dog and competitive career in one year? But, he is also surrounded by good friends, who support him and help him recover. And this is the magic of the man, everyone loves Dingo!
The surfing is amazing.The amount of expletives coming out my mouth, usually caused by another insane tube ride, were many and vociferous. Dean does not perhaps have the new school tricks and airs down like the Julian Wilsons and Jordy Smiths of the new tour, but when he does a turn or air, you know its going to be huge. For a small guy, he has an immense amount of power in his surfing. But it is once again the barrels, especially at Backdoor, Shipsterns and Chopes that will blow your mind!
I highly recommend this video, as no surf movie collection would be complete without, A Dingo’s tale!
