I have the Velocity 2 DVD and its has exactly 12min long of MoM clips of the (#76 Todd Chrusciel) Show with bits and pieces of the 4 rounds and if your lucky you might recognize someone if you slow down the speeded up footage that Robb through in between interviews and footage of New England pros and racing

Id say that qualifies for dissapointing...as he could of made $$$$$$$ if he took the time to make a 40 min long DVD (As promoted as stay tuned for the 2006 MoM Movie) with (8 min clips of each round) and a few 2 min interviews of riders that were leading the points....and then throw in a 10 or 15 min best crashes clips for the MoM Movie DVD that was never made

my -2 cents

Sorry Robb.....

not to start anything here, i'm not really one for conflict...but have either of you actually made a dvd? robb was always very up front about not being able to squeeze in the time to really do a complete MoM dvd last year between geting Velocity 2 out and working for Racer X. I think the fact that MoM got 12 mins in a nationallt distributed DVD is pretty sick...yea there could have been more, but it wasn't a MoM dvd....or even a pitbike dvd for that matter. He did his job of getting some exciting, attention grabbing footage in there...and i can't wait for the full length to come out this year! like i said in the begining, not trying to start an argument...but as someone who goes to school for film production, and has quite a bit of experience I felt i had to stick up for a friend who gave our little east coast series some exposure in his dvd because he felt bad not being able to get a full one out.

Connman, I'm not trying to put down Robb, I'm just voicing the disappointment some of us had after first hearing we'd be getting a dedicated production, and in the end getting 12 minutes of clips. Personally, I have yet to see a mini/stunting/etc style video I've liked, too much emphasis on flashy quick scene transitions, too little content, but that just seems to be the popular style of the genre. Based on that, I'll be waiting for reviews of the proposed new dvd before I bother plopping down any cash.

Ya I have to agree with Josh.....sorry Dave bad subject....



Id rather buy a DVD thats got actual race coverage for a change the speeded up footage and headbanging music that everybody and his brother has copied re-copied is getting played out...for years now

id embrace a actual mini race movie with bike sounds

you know, i actually agree with you here....some of the best motocross videos put out are the "TGO" series. but you also have to appeal to the masses, and our sport...the mini industry, was started and is focused on the more "extreme" aspect. i mean hell i think the first popular 50 video sequence was in Crusty Demons.

now if you wanna talk about the music.....well i don't even know if i wanna start on that. but you're not exactly gonna edit motocross to Sinatra...believe me I've tried lol.

I know whatever Robb gives us will be great, and i can't wait to see all the carnage and great racing all us fools got going on this year! definitely counting down to the start of next series!

Thanks, I'm glad you like them. Mototown is the worst place on earth to shoot. I've shot everywhere from Anahiem to Orlando to Toronto and nothing has lighting that bad.

I started with 1400 pics and only had a little over 500 keepers. Sorry if I don't have one of everybody...

Yeah Oldschool, did you know if the NO. 76 give some $$$$ to be on all that video report or he is the ambassador of the MoM series....Just curious cause a lot of people ask me why they focus on that rider .MoM had a lot of good different riders they can show up .....

OLDSCHOOL

Well Steve he actually made for a lousy "Unlimited" champion this year...IMO as at the first Round (Marshfield) he was to busy playing kissy face with his girlfriend and missed his main event...he flipped out and started shouting and swaring and smashed his cell phone into the ground in front of about 30 people with a bunch of little kids around...after that I lost all and any respect for him. then to top it off he Disrespected his dad so bad that his dad left him there.... he was wining so bad that he sounded like a little pussy boy in my book....

Masters of Mini is all about EVERYONE that races this series to have fun. A lot of people got red championship plates...9 of them to be exact and it was Sad that he got the most "show time"...woop tee do. but this year a lot more people showed him that hes not all he thinks he is.....

Im interested to see what the DVD will be about (and for the record Robb does do a great professional job putting it together)....Ive heard its going to be between 3-8 min of each class at each of the 5 round so we shall see...

OLDSCHOOL

I do want to say that Billy Ainsworth is a great ambassador for the masters of Mini with his commentary and clowning around he will make a great champion and competitor next season he represents well

steve711

IMO at Marshfield we are (an my 7 years kid) eyewitness of the dad disrespected...and somebody tell me about the missed ''kissy'' main . So show up the professionnalism riders !!

Hey Matt, glad you brought that up!! I thought I had to but a new camera At the open practice in August, I thought it was my flash. Still, the keepers look great. Thanks.
