OK, So got mine in the mail 2 days ago but could only pick it up from the post office today. Kudos for getting it to me so quick boys.

This is a fucking awesome DVD. From start to finish it was entertaining. Whoever edited it really knows the meaning of "less is more"... Sometimes this is what I think the most important thing when making a homegrown DVD. Groups have a tendancy to get attached too much to a certain clip and overplay it or draw it out too much but the PCP boys nailed it in this respect. I think its always better to think it was too short and be left wanting more than it to drag on and be bored with it.

These guys have pretty big balls, there's a lot of pretty hardcore stunts that really put them on one of the top levels in homegrown. In saying that, there's a fucking shitload of X-Treme sport footage. I dont really mind this too much because some of it was cool but I'd say this was the only let down in the DVD. If I wanted an X-Treme sport DVD I wouldve bought one, I thought this took heaps away from other cool stunts they couldve played out a bit longer. Im not too sure why the DVD is so skewed towards X-Treme Sports, maybe its the angle they had to take in order to get distro, or maybe they just love it, I dont know. Whatever the reason, it really did take over the DVD to the point where I was left wondering if it was a sports DVD with some stunts on the side or a Stunt Video with a bit of sport. Im still yet to work it out.

All in all I enjoyed it. Sat down with my girlfriend and she even enjoyed it. There wasnt any excess vomit or blood which isnt too hard to acheive but there is heaps of really hard/dangerous stunts that make up for a lot of things.

These boys are the real deal and I cant give them enough credit for what they pulled off here. I know they're a bit cocky when they come on here and after seeing the DVD I understand why. They have some awesome content, great camera work, big fucking balls and I wasnt bored for 1 second throughout the DVD.

Id reccomend this to any homegrown fan. Good work PCP boys.

4/5

I still feel the editing could of been improved, it was done well and I liked it but in today current homegrown/extreme scene it wasnt up to standards if you know what I mean, people take the editing very important as much as the stunts themselfs, hopefully the next dvd will have sharper production......but anyway I liked the fact it heavly featured xtreme sports footage, it gave it a style alot of homegrown groups dont have, if you take that all out, its just the same stunts done by a different group with nothing new to add to the mix. who here can say they have MX,BMX & Skaters in there group?. with all that its showcasing the groups abilitys as a whole.

Also, running over that deer on the quad bike at the end wasnt too cool. Not too sure if it was an accident or not but the DVD definately couldve done without it.

Ace dvd, I liked it a lot! I think you could've shown a little more of some of the stunts. I mean that some of the stunts were hard to get a grip of when they flashed by so quickly. But I gotta say that it kept me entertained the whole dvd through. Really nice work, props

Yes its true but then again 'less is more' =) I think it was perfect except for editing and length(too short)

And the fire stuff was meeh... some of it was actually pretty damn awesome but many were lame.. and you should film fire stuff when its starting to get dark... Daylight doesnt do justice to fire.

And I loled when the guy was wheeling with his bike and shooting firework off the bike at the same time :D haha felt lame to me :P

Fights were really really good! and the younger gaboff brother is my fav. pcpboy =) blonde one? shit I cant remember the names.. mikey? eeh.. =) Well anyways not the cocky one with the trendy hair :P
