Breakthrough On Skis III, The New Skis [VHS]

Description
Welcome to Breakthrough On Skis III - The New Skis, my third video ski lesson, an in-depth exploration of the new generation of super-sidecut or shaped skis. Creating this video was almost as exciting as my own encounter with these remarkable new skis. I worked with a handful of great skiing friends--all of them, like me, absolutely smitten, totally converted and enthusiastic about these new skis. I asked my gifted cameraman, Edgar Boyles, to zoom in, closer than ever, on what takes place between our skis and the snow. Edgar outdid himself and produced, I think, the clearest, most revealing shots of ski-snow interaction I've ever seen. I'm hoping that his exceptional cinematography, together with my explanations, will give you a fresh vision of what really happens down at the snow level, where skier meets mountain.Just as I did for my previous video ski lessons, in this booklet I want to offer you a few more tips, a few practical suggestions on how you can get the greatest benefit from this new Breakthrough on Skis videotape.
Let me start with a bold statement: I think these new skis are the most important development in skiing in the last twenty years. A lot of skiers whom I've skied with and worked with recently have told me they weren't very eager to switch to the new super-sidecut skis. "What's wrong with my old skis?" they asked. "They turn great. I really love them." The answer is simple. There is nothing wrong with older, traditionally designed skis. But the new skis, if treated right, open the door to a level of on-snow performance that, previously, skiers could only dream about but never really achieve. In my own case, I know I'm skiing better today, on super-sidecut skis, than I ever thought I could...and I was an expert skier to begin with.
Besides, this new design for skis--significantly wider at the tip and tail, and proportionately narrower at the center or waist--is her to stay. These skis are not a fad. This is the way skis are now being designed and built. Sooner or later, you will be looking for new skis, and when you do, you'll find that traditional ski designs will have virtually disappeared.
The reason that this new design for skis has won such widespread acceptance is simple. Deep-sidecut skis really do make everything easier.

The Lion King II: Simba's Pride [VHS]
No customer reviews yet. Be the first
Description
Another made-for-video sequel to a Disney masterpiece. As with the Beauty and the Beast and Pocahontas sequels, most of the recognizable vocal talents return, creating a worthwhile successor to the highest-grossing animated film ever. We pick up the story as the lion king, Simba (voiced by Matthew Broderick), and Nala (Moira Kelly) have a new baby cub, a girl named Kiara (Neve Campbell). Like her father before, she seeks adventure and ends up outside the Pridelands, where lions loyal to the evil Scar (who died in the original) have lived with revenge in their hearts. The leader, Zira (a spunky turn from Suzanne Pleshette), schemes to use her son Kovu (Jason Marsden) to destroy Simba. As luck with have it, Kiara has bumped into Kovu and fallen in love.This all sounds familiar since all of Disney's straight-to-video sequels have played it very safe, nearly repeating the originals' story, tone, and pace. Perhaps there were too many cooks for this production. Besides the two screenplay credits, there are eight other writers credited for additional written material. The look of the film has none of the surprise of the original but is far superior to other animated videos. In fact, the film played in European theaters.
For kids, the sequel will be a favorite. The comic antics of Timon (Nathan Lane) and Pumba (Ernie Sabella) are enjoyable, as is Andy Dick as Nuka, the mixed-up older son of Zira. And there's plenty of action. The best element is the music. Relying on more African-influenced music, the five songs featured are far superior to those in Disney's other sequels. Zira's song of revenge, "My Lullaby," was cowritten by Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon. The standout opening number, "He Lives in You," was created for the Lion King Broadway smash and now finds a whole new audience. --Doug Thomas

Description
The little square burger devotees call "sliders." The accidental invention of the hot fudge sundae. The much-debated truth behind the name "hot dog." AMERICAN EATS is a fun, fascinating, feature-length tour that dishes up the truth behind the dishes. From pizza to the hoagie (or grinder or hero) some of the most characteristically American foods have their origins abroad. But others are strictly homegrown, the product of fads, trends or good, old-fashioned screw-ups that turn out well in the end (the chocolate chip cookie is one such delicious mistake). By going into some of the world's most famous kitchens and talking with people like the inventor of the Big Mac, a San Francisco Chinatown food guide and the founder of Pizza Hut, the delectable story of AMERICAN EATS comes alive. Tuck in the bib and pull up a chair for a feast of Americana.Similar Products
