Great video on the behind the scenes of minor league professional baseball. Shows that not all professional ballplayers are pampered prima donnas with multi-million dollar salaries. The video takes you through the trials and tribulations of life in the minors, where the dreams are huge and the future can sometimes be brutal. All young ballplayers with dreams of playing in the majors should watch this video.

WWE Rock Bottom 1998 (1998) Review

WWE Rock Bottom 1998 (1998)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
There's not much I can say about the actual event that hasn't already been said, it was mediocre at best, but I can add my opinion about the actual DVD...
First off, there are NO EXTRAS...now, I'll admit, I wasn't surprised by this...Sure the WWF could have opened up the vault and given us some cool stuff leading up to Rock Bottom 1998, but they didn't and it's not the first time they released a DVD without any extras...What can you say, I guess the WWF doesn't "Get It" when it comes to making the DVD more worth buying by adding extras...
But I'm not mad about there being no extras...sure, extras are nice, but they don't have to be included...
What I am mad about is the exclusion of a MENU! How do you exclude a menu from a DVD? Isn't the menu standard? This is the only DVD (in general) I own (and I own a number of DVDs) that has no menu...And no menu means no select a match feature, which means if say you don't want to watch the whole event but rather just want to watch the buried alive match, the main event on the disc...you can't just press and button and be at the start of the match (like you can with other WWF DVDs), oh no, you have to FAST FORWARD throught the whole event...You can't even jump from chapter to chapter because the whole event is one chapter...
Basically the WWF just took the video version of Rock Bottom and transferred it over to a DVD...Very disappointing...
Take a mediocre event, mix it with no extras and NO MENU and you get a DVD worth passing up...Unless this is your favorite event in WWF history (and then I ask why?) or if you already have it on VHS and want to replace the video with a DVD, pass on this one...You'll be happy you did...

Reebok Presents Brand New Basktetball Dvd- Coach Bob Hurley's Favorite Drills By America's Greatest Coaches Review

Reebok Presents Brand New Basktetball Dvd- Coach Bob Hurley's Favorite Drills By America's Greatest Coaches
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This DVD, and it's companion (Vol II) are far and away the best coaching videos I've ever seen. I coach High School basketball, and our small coaching library has 19 coaching tapes, and I myself have 21. The important point with these DVDs is that they are planned, directed and produced FOR basketball coaches. Other companies (take a guess: rhymes with "...ampionship productions") drag a camcorder into a basketball camp, lazily film the shortest clinics they can find, spend 2 minutes adding titles and whatnot, and then charge $40 for them. By comparison these are expertly planned and executed. Each drill is creatively introduced with a montage of clips from the drill, followed by Hurley's explanation to the players. During the drill itself you hear Hurley talking to individual players about specific focus points, and right before he does this the camera spotlights the player he will be correcting, so you know who to watch and can understand the context of his comments. (Little details like this are a brilliant idea and really help.) At the end of the drill a list of focus points comes up for several seconds -- helpful to those of us who are note-takers. All the drills are also available with Hurley's commentary. The on-court audio is reduced, and Hurley's voice-over thoroughly explains and discusses each drill.
Using his team is helpful, because we get to see the result of the culture he has built up over the years. This allows us to see important things that he didn't get around to discussing. For instance, I loved the constant chatter from his team during the drills. All his players talked and communicated constantly throughout the drills. The effect on their intensity and teamwork was obvious.
If you could have just two DVDs to plan your bread and butter for a season, these two DVDs would be the ones to get.
If coach Hurley came out with a Vol III and IV, I would buy them in a second!

Back in early 90s me and my friends had these videos in VHS. We played them so many times that they became unusable! This compilation is perfect in terms of the videos and extras. Hiowever, it would have been better if they could remaster the tracks and maybe try to upgrade the video format, since when it is played on a HD TV the 4:3 ratio doesn't look that good! However... nice piece of collectible for fans

I was hooked after watching Trick Horse Training Fundamentals I, and Trick Horse Training Fundamentals II did not disappoint!!! I have horses with a wide variety of temperaments and personalities, and Allen's techniques work for all of them. If I can figure out how to post a picture with this review, I will put one up so you can see this DVD in action--I was able to teach my horse to lay down, sit and sit up. They love these tricks as much as I do!

Krav Maga: Basic Combatives Review

Krav Maga: Basic Combatives
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This DVD contains the basic techniques of Krav maga system. The techniques include attacks with hands (mostly punches with closed fist, but also hammer punches), elbows, knees and feet. There are some counterattacks and defences also included. At the beginning of the film they talk about angles of attack, target areas and stance & movement. As a DVD extra, they present focus mitt combinations to utilize in your training (they mention that they will produce an entire film on the subject in the future).
It is worth mentioning that they don't teach, or even mention the correct falling technique at all. Also, I think they should have taught also palm strikes, but for some reason they were left out. As palm strike is almost as effective as punch with a closed fist, but much more safe for your own hand, it should be included in everyones' arsenal. When instructing kicking techniques, they mention casually that you can kick also to the head. I think that they should have warned against that, because in real life, kicking above your own waist is considered risky, and generally not advisable.
The presentation of techniques varies from fair to excellent, the average being of good quality. In some techniques I learned some nuances I had not grasped in my Krav maga classes. Each technique opens up with a dramatized scene in which the technique is used. After that they present the technique at full speed, and after that in slow motion, and finally in learning stages. For some reason, they have chosen not to use slow motion of a full speed presentation of technique. Rather, the person presenting the technique is moving in slow motion, according to the instructions of off-screen narrator. This makes somewhat amateurish impression of the production.
Speaking of production, it is fairly OK. The film is shot with only one camera, but for the most part, it is shooting at the right spot. The techniques are presented in a studio against a black screen, but the dramatized scenes are shot in loading docks, restaurants, parking lots and so on. They use two narrators who take turns with narrating the techniques. The other narrator is International Krav maga federation head instructor Eyal Yanilov, and the other is U.S. chief instructor Darren Levine. Yanilov does not speak very good English, so from time to time it is hard to grasp what he is saying. Otherwise the production is good, and it's easy to understand the techniques.
As a Krav maga practitioner myself, I like the system. In this film, they have succeeded in presenting the basic techniques very well. There are some shortcomings, though, that reduce one star from the rating of this film.
Run time: 1:29

Too often we take for granted the fitness conditioning required for skiing. Ski Fitness could aptly be named essential fitness for all types of skiers (alpine and nordic). The disk guides you through a general cardio and muscular fitness program and leads into ski specific fitness dry-land drills, exercises and modes. The program is wonderfully narrated and demonstrated. We found the product suitable for beginner to advanced skiers alike. Elite athletes may wish to check out the post graduate version of fitness conditioning Nordic Ski Training Secrets for High Performance Sport. As a big bonus, the disk includes a yoga class and core strength class (lead by famous adventurer and extreme athlete Ray Zahab). Overall, highly recommended!

I recently received the Christopher Getz Ultimate Boxing 8 DVD Boxed Set and on first pass I am impressed. There is so much information it took me over a week just to view them all. I have over 40 pages of notes after watching just half of them. Getz is a very skilled and knowledgeable teacher who is never boring as he breaks down all the techniques and strategies in a way you can easily learn them. The lessons are very well structured and all DVDs compliment the others. Everything is covered from equipment to basic and advanced techniques so I must say this series offers a complete package on Boxing which is what I have been searching for and finally found with this set. The best thing is besides the physical routines, the lessons open your eyes as to how sophisticated and technical the sport of boxing really is. Boxing is a game of chess and to succeed Coach Getz teaches you to be a smart fighter as well as a fit fighter. The series is a total package with hundreds of techniques, tips and strategies that can make anyone who studies them a complete fighter. A++ Very good investment!

Initial D: Fourth Stage, Part 1 Review

Initial D: Fourth Stage, Part 1
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
4th stage is all about Project D, a new traveling street racing team formed by Ryosuke Takahashi that has a very ambitious goal: Defeat every racing team in every prefecture of Japan. This goal should be accomplished by the 2 ace drivers: Takumi Fujiwara and Keisuke Takahashi.
This 12 episodes of 4th stage are much more action-oriented than past seasons but there is a little bit of drama and romance that are very refreshing between the intense races. Project D shows the evolution of Takumi as a Street Racer and its pretty bizarre to hear him talk about technical details for the setup of a race or just describing a driver's technique.
The opponents range from kamikaze or refined street racers to a pro driver .... yes, a pro driver !!! ... this translates to high-level driving and strategies, that show the real genius of Ryosuke. Overall, the Part 1 of the 4th Stage is very intense, crazy and surprisingly original and very well directed.
In the technical aspect, this DVD still presents the 4:3 video SIMULATING WIDESCREEN, this is a bit odd for me but is not a big deal because its much more important to finally an official release.
The animation hasn't been a strong point of the series but the new studio has vastly improved the quality of the anime. The picture and sound are high quality as expected and the package is not as good as 1st and 2nd stage but its acceptable.
As i stated in the review of 3rd Stage, we should feel blessed with this release that seemed so far away from release in the past years so THIS IS A MUST BUY if you are fan of INITIAL D, you won't regret it, this season is by far the best.

Norm Duke - Learn to Bowl Competitively DVD Review

Norm Duke - Learn to Bowl Competitively DVD
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've bought a few of the limited bowling dvds out there namely the Fred Borden and Ken Yokobosky dvds and the Parker Bohn. This one is the best out of all of them. It is the most modern (created in 2010) and is well done. Its is not a home made video like some of the ones I listed earlier. Grade A quality here.
If you are a beginner, then you may be a little overwhelmed. But for the intermediate/league bowlers, this will definately help your game. Norm breaks down the aspect of the game that most people don't quite understand like how to read the lanes, where to get your power, and the science behind bowling. The dvd is broken up into about 20 different topics. If you are struggling with a specific aspect of the game you can easily jump to it.
If you search the bowling ball forums on this dvd you'll also find that the reviews were positive. This dvd could be better if he spent more time on some of the topics. I just wish it was a longer dvd.
