First off I would like to state that I believe the Rip Off DVD is one of the best put together HG videos I have seen. Going by what I have seen from LSD Riders, HGC, Boredom Induced and Arsemarks.
The menus are great quality, smooth and fast, with no lagging. They look completely original with no apparent templates having been used.
The editing is inspiring for me as an editor myself. Ben did a very good job with this DVD and put it together in a way which makes it very watchable and not overusing the same old effects over and over again which seemed to be the case in LSD Riders. (Not to take anything away from the LSD Riders DVD, it was awesome.)
The content kept me very entertained, it was good footage and you can tell all the effort that was put into it over the three years they had been filming for. Some gnarley fire jumps from Vode, awesome jumps and fire stunts from Jones, and Ben is a Finnish comedy genious. I love the TaxiDriver skit.
The extras on the DVD were great to watch. Especially the Premier video because it just shows the culmination of all the work they have put into filming and producing this DVD, and must have been very gratifying for them to attend. I must confess, I feel humbled by the way in which the crew accepted applause. Having met these guys I know that they are such nice people and it was a pleasure to watch the DVD.
The soundtrack complimented the content and editing very well. Bands such as Driving Silence providing tracks bought out the best in the videos, and did justice to the productions.
I give this DVD 8.5/10.
Great job guys.
