Rating: Summary: Cutting edge product for World's greatest sport Review: Those talented, techno-endurance folks up at Canada's xczone.com have cranked out yet another cutting edge product this fall. This time the two disk "Unlimited" DVD.We've checked out a healthy amount of this product (there is a LOT there, believe us) and it is unquestionably a "next step" in both Banff festival-style XC film (of which xczone has produced the lion's share) as well as a worthwhile interactive competitor to the European "Perfect Skating" (featured in Summer 2003). The music and image portion includes amazing footage and a driving soundtrack one usually finds more in X-Games than XC. Our favorite aspect of the DVD was the seasonal transitions and the comparisons between different endurance sports...still with a constant focus on the world's greatest sport. Very original ideas at work here! --- XCSKIWORLD and AXCS (American Cross Country Skier)
Rating: Summary: Breathtaking skiing Review: Two DVDs: one, a motivational movie on outdoor sports spun around nordic skiing and two, an awesome instructional disk which takes you from beginner to racer at your own pace. With the DVD technology I can even stop, do frame by frame analysis and zoom in on the best skiers in N.America. You gotta check these suits out and some of the most amazing stunts I have every seen performed on xc race skis. Music by Sum 41, Roch Voisine , Dean Batstone and Drastik are complemented by slick narration, multiple audio tracks and subtitles and DVD-ROM features that kept me playing past my bed time. This is the wholly professonal production that Nordic skiing needs... just don't forget to go skiing.
