Fit Life Review

Rob-o sent me over a copy of the new Fit DVD for review purposes, so thanks to him for that. I'll give it to you straight regardless though, but I'm doubtful that this video is going to let me down. I'm just going to review all of the full parts and then give an overall review of it.

Chase Hawk: Pretty much just a ton of huge airs, solid trails footage and some good street clips thrown in. I'd probably rank this as the least interesting part, but that might be my non-trails rider bias coming into play here. His last trick is a really insane 360 at the Little Devil warehouse.

Van Homan: FUCK. Starts off with some really good, tech street lines involving a bunch of huge bunnyhops all at the same spot, followed by a ton of monsterous street shit. Everyone will probably try to compare this part to his Criminal Mischief part and while I'd say the riding is less progressive, it's pretty close. Highlights are probably his rail manual to barspin, barspin gap to icepick and this insane gap to uprail.

Rob-O/NY mix: Robbie holds it down pretty good but the kids in the NY section actually have some of the best clips in the whole video here. George K has a few good clips, a kid with glasses does an icepick to barspin over a river, and then Russ Barone KILLS IT. I have no clue who this guy is but his street lines are amazing and the 180 he does at the end is gigantic.

Justin Inman: Solid part, starts off sort of slow but all his tricks at the end are pretty insane.

Eddie Cleaveland/Cali Mix: Eddie's clips aren't really as impressive as his Lotek part, but are still pretty dope. Some kid does some really twisted turndowns, George Ramirez puts down a bunch of good clips that are very, very LA style. Jackson Ratima and Dakota Roache finish this section and both kill it.

Brian Foster: Dude is way too old to still be this good. I'm impressed.

Chase Dehart: Tons of really creative, complicated street lines. All street. I'm pretty stoked on this part.

Mike Aitken: WOW. I really don't even know what to say about this guy, everything he does is so fucking good and whenever he does something even slightly normal his style is so crazy it makes it look like a totally new trick. It'd be pointless to even point out spesific tricks since every clip is awesome.

Edwin/Tom White: I allready knew I was going to like this part before I watched it, but it's better than I thought it would be. Ed does a PERFECT feeble to hop up manual to 180 bars right at the begining like it's nothing plus one of the longest nose manuals ever, a sick feeble to hop up hard way backwards manual and a rail hop to uprail to rail hop. I don't even know what to say about Tom's clips but the last trick is a big ass rail to gap that nobody should have ever even thought about trying.

Summary: I'd say this is one of the best videos of the year, no questions asked. The music is solid ( besides that Rick Ross song, but at least they didn't bother to get the licensing which has killed many a video's soundtrack ), the riding is ill and Tom does a really good ball ride in the credits. If this video isn't worth your money, I don't know what video is.

EDIT: I forgot... where the hell is Brian Yeagle? A few clips of him definetly wouldn't have hurt. NEW ENGLAND RULES.
