Ratings and reviews

This hour long video (not movie) is essentially based on any skate or bmx video. It has some of the basic concepts like a section for each person at first. Then it gets random. Snow board clips mixed with base jumping clips, etc. There's little progression in this video as almost everything is done into an air bag, foam pit or resi landing. If u wanna see a bunch of crashes then this one's for you. There was a killer section about chicks that shred n this dude that is gnar on bikes, boards n mx tho.

I really like the nitro circus show, but this movie was missing the heart and personality. Way too many people, no funny antics, just stunts that got pretty repetitive. Boring repetitive soundtrack to go with it.

Well worth a watch but lots of the tricks are into the huge airbag. Some good stuff still but think some of the other Travis films have been better.
