Race Across America Review

Race Across America

Somewhere in the darkness of a person's existence they confront what scares them, what unnerves them, what makes them wonder about their very next step. This is what Race Across America captures by its essence. Whether you ride long distances or not, heck, even if you haven't ridden a bike in 20 years, buy this film. It embodies the deeper struggle of our human existence as we strive, struggle and learn from our failures. Sports are a great metaphor for life at large, the greatest of these are endurance sports, with Race Across America taking you into a greater understanding of what it means to reach for the brass ring, no matter how big, no matter how small. In this film we see ourselves in the personalities (riders and crew) as they endeavor to persevere in something so engaging that it tips the scales of common sense into the abyss. As I said, it's just like life. So if you don't learn something about yourself and about life by simply watching this film, well, you need to do it again because you weren't paying attention. Life changes in a heartbeat, in one moment you think all is lost, that perseverence is not to be had, then, in a moment, something happens. The tailwind of good news or encouragement comes along and your legs are fresher, your energy restored and you find the courage to dig deep...to go one more mile. This is what is embodied by Race Across America and its creator Stephen Auerbach. It is fantastic.

Nordic Skiing Technique Review

I checked this out from the library, and was blown away, particularly when I compared it to the other videos I've seen - now I'm buying it! Nothing has improved my skiing technique more than watching this DVD once. I think this is the most important skiing resource that I've come across. After watching a chapter of this DVD, I am far more effective on snow. I even downloaded the .mp3 narration onto my ipod and it was like having my own personal Olympic coach with me - beautiful.
