Review
If you can backhop, you are above the level of this video. Even if you can't, this isn't the greatest thing you could watch. It's more of a tutorial than actually seeing what the Mart's can do.
As long as you know that, it's fine, though.

Review
More urban stuff and better music... cheesy chase scene in the beginning is brutal. part where they teach the thug, clad in black is horrible. the use of those stunt dummies is awful... i'll never understand EU humor! lol

its a pretty good video, always fun to learn new stuff or improve on the stuff u already know -- wish it wasn't VHS...

Review
For a simple informative vid, this is prime... the chase ghetto afro scene in the beginning is pretty stupid, but it teaches basics, which is where everybody should start anyway... if u can already lurch, great, but learning nvr realli stops w/ trials, new techniques can b learned w/ ease.

more urban riding n all around trials sequences would b nice tho

Bought this video after seeing it being played in a bike store. Very helpful for beginners who want to learn how to pedal kick, trackstand, back hop, etc. Instruction from Martin and Martin of England and the famous Hans Rey.
