Description:
From the beginning, Storm Scooters and Razor Sharp Tricks seems a little out of touch. The half-hour video starts out with a man building a wooden scooter, "The Shavor," for his son. Excuse me, a wooden scooter? It features 15 riders doing cool spins, flips, jumps, and grinds. Although the tricks are neat, it becomes a little tedious to watch the same maneuvers over and over again. Sometimes the footage has an artsy bent, incorporating brown-and-white video and hip-sounding music. It would be a great video for nonverbal kids because probably fewer than 10 words are spoken throughout. Injuries to kids and their wheels are also on display--people fall, wreck their scooters, and do dangerous stunts, such as scooting over someone lying down. If I were going to buy a single scooter video, it wouldn't be this one. Try Scooter Mania for the easier-to-understand beginner tips. --Gillian Clow
