Mountain Mod Mania 6


Just as in years past, this film is all about modified sleds, and of course, Greg Painter’s “ultimate trailer.” There were essentially three repeating elements in Mountain Mod Mania 6. Fist was the sleds, including detailed descriptions of the various sled modifications and identification of the respective aftermarket manufactures. Second was footage of the modified sleds in action, and Painter takes you to several of the premier sled completions to let you see first hand what these monster mods will do. Finally, Painter documents his road trips and own snowmobile outings throughout the film, which is a little like watching somebody else’s family videos, but don’t let this deter you as these are mostly introductions to the real action to come.

The Sled Heads 4


Thomas Opre’s “epic quest” to find, ride with, and film the biggest and best riders in the industry is another success. In Sled Heads 4 you get to watch Ross Mercer, Cody Borchers, Jared Sessions, Randy Swenson, Brett Turcotte, Kristy Martin (Miss Extreme contest winner), and Shawn Dinner (Be Extreme contest winner) pulling insane chutes, catching big air, and doing every other extreme riding style these riders are known for. The DVD has a chapter for each featured rider, which includes interviews with the riders, comments from those that know and have ridden with them, and then of course awesome sledding footage. The interviews are intermixed with riding scenes and music. I particularly liked hearing how each rider feels about snowmobiling, what others think of them and their respective riding styles, and learning a little about the personalities of these great athletes. Since this film is about getting to know the best riders in the business, I’ll give you a sampling of some of my favorites: Randy Swenson’s section starts out with him saying, “ I wont lie, I get scared; I have fear,” but we all know he’s lying since this guy is known for his insane climbs. This DVD shows Randy climbing mountains that would intimidate anyone else to paralyzing fear. Several of those interviewed attributed Randy’s fearlessness to a certain part of his male anatomy, but let’s be honest, Randy’s success is because he is smart enough to understand the challenge, yet he is a tremendous athlete who believes in himself. That’s what conquers fear.
