Cycling Not
If you want scenery tape is very good.If you want to ride a stationary bike and watch it, good luck.Video was recorded from a car.If you assume you are riding bicycle you would want to bail out as often you run out of road on the right when the vehicle gets too close to the guard rails or moves the camera for scenery only.

Exercise the Body and the Spirit
I bought this video because it was less about "how to be an athlete" than a way to make cycling relaxing and pleasant. After I tried using the video, I discovered the music and scenery did take away the drudgery and help me keep cycling a lot longer than usual. This was a unique experience for me. I got the instruction I needed to get the most out of my workout but never felt pressured to perform beyond what I was comfortable with. Overall I would say that this exercise video really encourages you to combine body and spirit.

Instant Zen
The scenery is beautiful, there is no intrusive narration, the camera work is hypnotic and there's no way to watch this video without going into an alpha state, unless you are hung up on arbitrary notions of time.Read more

The Too Tyred Tour Prevails.......
From the sea level desert of Africa to the 17,000' mountain pass in Tibet, the Too Tyred Tour prevailed through sun, sand, wind, rain and snow.This video illustrates the enormous personal challenge in a tour of this magnitude and inspires one to consider the possibilities.

Amazing trip, disappointing video
The trip this video documents was amazing, but the video is not worth the money. It's low-quality, short on material (especially video), and sputters along. Too bad. ... Read more

Editorial Review

BMX beginners and pre-beginners would do well to get absorbed in thisprimer on basic trick techniques. Dave Mirra, a.k.a. "The Miracle Man" for hisphenomenal success as a X athlete, is the right man to guide one throughessential tricks on flat ground and ramps. He's not alone, of course. Specialguests Ryan Nyquist, Kip Williamson, and Colin Winkelmann are also there to showus how to choose and buy a bike, how to execute a few parking lot tricks (180bunny hop, 360 bunny hop, etc.), how to perform more advanced maneuvers onthe grind box (the feeble grind, double-peg grind, smith grind), and what todo on a mini-ramp. It's all straightforward but quite friendly; theenthusiasm of Mirra and company is certainly infectious and makes one want totry a box jump as soon as possible. Read more

For the TRUE beginner
Just learned to ride that BMX of yours?You will want to pick this dvd up if you want to get to the ramps.Not much in the way of flatland/freestyle riding.Just enough to get you going for the ramps.I don't have any skate parks near me so flatland/freestyle is the most I can hope for.Why do they tear down kids dirt ramps in vacant fields?I'm 25 and I say it stinks!Anyhow, the real beginner will appreciate this dvd, and so will mom and dad.Covers safety often and most importantly (to mom and dad's wallet) what to look for in a first bike!GET TO IT!

The Art of BMX
I was looking for something new to do. ESPN's X-Games showed me the light. It was time for me to get into bmx. I decided on bmx over skateboarding due to the fact that I found the bike more useful in everyday life. Having ignored the bmx craze in grade school, and then ignoring the skateboard and bmx scene in highschool/college, and having no friends who give a hoot about bmx I was on my own. Great Beggining Point for BMX
I have been riding BMX for years and I'm very good. I wish I had this movie when I started off. REcently my friend let me borrow the movie. I watched it and it was awesome. BMX can be a hard sport and can be kind of dangerous but with this movie you can have an easier. I am 15 and have been BMXing since I was 7 years old. If I have had that movie then I would have been a lot better. I hear that volume 2 is going to be so much better with more advancr tricks. I'm more of a dirt jumper and I hear there will be dirt juming in it. This movie makes you wanna get your bike and go out and ride. So what ever you do don't watch it on a rainy day. ... Read more

Not effective for any sort of workout
I purchased this video in hopes of changing up my indoor training routine.No such luck.The camera view changes almost constantly, therefore when you start to work up a hill, 15 seconds later the view changes to s flat or downhill. THere are several views away from the road altogether.If you want scenery, this may work fo you.If you are looking for something that even remotely resembles the view off the bike while riding, I recommend that you look elsewhere.For now, I will stick with Spinervals and CTS training videos.They are at least effective in the workout aspect.

Adventure Cycling/HealthriderExercising
The discovered this video over 15 years ago.I also had the Pacific cycling video, but it was destroyed.I no longer own a stationary cycle but the tour is such a pleasant, scenic, stress relieving experience that I decided to search via internet see if I could still purchase copies.I plan on using the video while exercising on my healthrider.I only wish I could purchase it on DVD.The cinematography journey is breathtaking and can be enjoyed again and again.Once your have been on this tour I think you will agree. ...

1999 Tapes Great, 2000 Tapes Have Bad Audio
The video work is great.Phil Liggit's favorite adjective for describing the 1999 riders is "little," as in "the little spaniard," or "that little man."Count how many times he says little.Anyway, both tapes are great fun to watch, but the audio mixing on the 2000 tapes is awful.You can barely hear the commentary beneath the very loud music.

Too Short!!
This set is so enjoyable that I can only say that I wish it were longer! Tour de France 1999/2000. What a combo?
This video set is the best 8 hours of video that I have ever owned.Wheather you are a die hard Lance Armstrong fan or just that "new rider" on the local rides, this is the must have Tour de France(TDF) set. Most liklely if you ride a bicycle you have heard of the phenominal return to professional cycling that was made by Lance Armstrong.These videos show how in 1999 he and the rest of the professional peleton fought against the drug scandals of the 1998 Tour and at the same time battled for the yellow leaders jersey throughout the entire 2000 plus miles of racing.Lance's abilities as a cyclist were tested and doubted in 1999 but in 2000 he returned to defend his previous win against previous TDF winners that were not present in 1999.Many thought that he would not be able to do it again... Even if your not a cyclist the videos are full of beautiful places and interesting issues.I would love to say more but for me I just can't put into words how exciting these races are.You'll just have to buy them, but don't watch them too much or people will think that your TV only picks up the TDF.Thats ok with me. ...

2001 Tour de France DVD
Amazon.com ripped me off.They let two parties send the same merchandise (tour de france DVD).Amazon.com gave both of them my credit card number so they could both bill me. When I tried to return one of the DVDs. BarginBooks would not even answer my email.When I tried to work with Amazon.com the wouldn't do anything except tell me to work with BarginBooks, who wouldn't even respond. Amazon.com doesn't honor their guarantee for help with the third parties. DON'T USE THE THIRD PARTY (USED BOOK SELECTION OPTION) THAT AMAZON OFFERS YOU JUST GET STUCK AND AMAZON.COM IS NO HELP.

Tour de Lance
This is a DVD you must have if you like cycling and especially the tour de France. You get a good impression on how beautifull the Alpes and the Pyrenees are and how hard it is to clim these mountains.Of course Lance Armstrong is the central figure on this DVD, and he deserves it. ... Read more

Informative but not for workout
There is too much talking, too much time looking at the route on maps, not enough scenery along the way.Instead of riding with the camera along a river side, it cuts to a map to show you the route.
