This video is still very good compared to the standard skate video, but doesn't meet the exceptionally high standard set by their previous videos (Girl/Chocolate). Also I was sad to see Mike Carroll retired, but that's how it goes. Thanks for all your hard work, Mike. Best of luck!

The special effects and video production in this film are phenominal and entertaining especially on Blu Ray. Although this edition says DVD I believe it comes with both a DVD and a Blu Ray disc of the film (at least mine did). The soundtrack is pretty good with varied genres including classic rock, contemporary rock, old school hip hop, and punk. The actual tricks and locations in the video get pretty monotonous after about 30 minutes, but it's still pretty good. It could have used more pool skating and maybe some ramp skating along with all the street skating since there are only so many variations of kickflips and heelflips that you handle watching for 1 1/2 hours.I started skating back in 1984 and still skate when I can, so I've seen enough skate videos to understand that foul language is kind of "to be expected." I was not surprised that the "f" bomb was dropped a number of times throughout the film, but the first spoken word in the video is the big "f" and it is said a few times within the first few minutes of the film. The soundtrack has some songs with explicit lyrics as well. Then there is the scene where Jack Black takes off all his clothes and runs around. Yes, he has his hands covering his genitals, but it still leaves NOTHING ELSE to the imagination. Finally, when we were watching the bonus content a scene pops on where a young woman is holding a very large "self pleasure device" in the shape of male genitals (yes, I know what it is called but I'm trying to keep this review family friendly). I had the video muted at that point so I did not hear what she said about the device, but it may have been sexually explicit.
So, although this video is one of the hottest skate videos of the year, parents be warned you may not want your child viewing some of the content and hearing some of the language in the film. I would have given it a 4 1/2 to 5 star rating if it did not include some of this content.
