Advantages: amazing footage
Disadvantages: none

...is huge, and as he starts off doing tricks over the massive gap, the ramps gap widens and widens un till you think its simply impossible for him to make it. He does make it however and pulls off two world records, he gets the longest distance jump at a 75' backside air 360. And he also gets the highest air when he pulls of a 23.5' backside air. Its amazing to watch and it really feels like your watching an amazing piece of skateboarding history, much like watching Tony Hawks pull off that 900 for the first time ever. This deluxe edition is any skateboarders, or someone who’s interested in skate boarding’s dream. It doesn’t only have the great DVD with extra features on it too, but its also has a fantastic 86 pages of behind the scenes book included. In fact the DVD case is a book and the DVD is actually in the back of it... Read review

Advantages: great skateboarding from an all star team
Disadvantages: none

...on the Mega Ramp (which is ramp that has a suicidal 65 foot starting ramp, to a 60 foot gap, and ending with a 27 foot quarter pipe). In this section Danny Way sets 2 skateboarding world records for the longest distance jumped and the highest air from a ramp which is truly amazing to watch. The other outstanding parts of the video are Stevie Williams' and Rob Dyrdek's. (Rob Dyrdeks part features a bonus intro with his bodyguard Chris 'Big Black' Boykin who was hired to 'negotiate' with security and generally help Rob out.) Both skaters are fresh new talents and this is the first major video they have appeared in. Bonus Material- DC video teaser #1, DC video teaser #2, Full Length Commercial #1, Full Length Commercial #2, Dyrdek Security Commercial, Ryan Smith Bonus Animation The bonus material is all fairly conventional and nothing spectacular...
