Season 1
this season is very homegrown style, 2 to 3 cameras in normal angles, mixups of stunts set to music that are based around the same location eg a big cliff or forest ect. the editing is alright, seems a very dark season as its mostly shot in the afternoons and use effects to bring out dark colours and mixed with a finnish metal bands album. they show how talented they are with flips and jumps while doing some very daring stunts. very low budget but they work well with what you've got. some cool stunts and sections to this season.

Season 2
this is very very different to season 1 as looky now they have MONEY, and it shows and improves the producion quality of the show, the filming this time is with atlest 4 to 5 cams with some very good angles for some of the stunts, this time they are really pushing themselfs into bigger stunts, all filmed in the summer and at day, editing is very experemental and colourfully, gives it a nice happy fun feeling, alot more cool flips and tricks they like to show you and can tell are having alot of fun filming, always smiling and joking on this sessions. they even have steve-o hit one of them around the head with a light tube and then steve- hits himself....

Season 3
alot like 2 but really found the right editing..still with colours but not as bright and fast, the filmings also the same. which was perfect, hardly anything missed here. they are really pushing themselfs in this season, going alot bigger and better than the past. has to be my favorite season out the 3 and alot of different styles of stunts being done here. my fav stunt is the 20-30 foot flip from a ladder thru a prop thats about 15foot high with a huge sheet of glass over the top and some boxes under. it was at one of there stage shows. which I will add are bigger and seem better than steve-o's more big jumps & props used.

over all id say the dudeson are one of my fav crews, when they speak finnish I havnt a fucking clue what they say but im sure its funny. as they went bigger with the stunts the more at risk they was, and alot of harsh...very harsh slams and bloodshed, broken bones and car distruction, mini moto x bikes and im sure alot of concusions, these dvds just feature stunts, no weak pranks or bad skits, just stunts so thats why I love these, they have alot and I mean ALOT of original stuff iv never seen anyone else on the stunt scene do, and if they have they did it very weak and not to this level.
id rate this set 9 out of 10, id give it a 10 if I can understand them when they talk alll inbred like vode & rip/off
they was planning on editing a best of dvd for over seas with 'no finland talk' but seems they scrapt that idea, filmed some more stunts & pranks and called it the movie check this clip out if you havnt already
