Good job doc!
A few weeks ago I was just brousing Youtube and punched in Mountain Mod Mania and up popped lotsa stuff. I watched the "7" teaser. I was really impressed. Yeah - the sleds were OK too - but I was really taken with the fact that there seemed to be a great lack of Death Metal in a 6 or 7 minute "teaser".
***See Teaser Here***
At the time I thought that it was a cpl yr old version for whatever reason. I really don't pay attention to vids as a rule. And really don't subject myself to Death Metal too often. But after the teaser I was really impressed with the "soundtrack".
I never liked to turn the volume down and watch the other vids b/c there is SOME motor noise and some vocals or narrations in the vids as you go that I don't want to miss, so I end up bangin' my head. While I usta be a Quiet Riot fan when they were new, I can't quite maintain that style for an hr and a half these days on stuff I don't even know. I don't have near enough hair for that anymore.
So I got the disk in this week and gave it a spin this afternoon, and soon realized that this IS the current vid!
Yes - there is a wee bit of newer heavy rock, but seems like only 15-30 seconds at a time to fill a spot of poor audio near as I can tell. And I can only imagine how difficult it is to get good audio with other sleds at the bottom of the hill, wind, choppers, whatever else...
Otherwise - I have to say - "music" seems to be few and far between, or very subtle in the background that I didn't much notice at all. Instead he has a LOT of audio of MOTORS. 2 strokes, 4, turbos dumping air near the top, and a lot of "awe, no, .... NO! .... Not into the rocks! Oh - that's gunna leave a mark, .... " well you git the idea... And what tunes are there are more tollerable in the first place. This is the first MMM disk I have watched, so maybe this is his SOP? But it's not standard to the industry that I have scene.
I kept watching, intently as The Crazy Canadian was there with his ugly mug in the camera quite a bit. I figgered that his cousins Bob and Doug would have been somewhere around if I watched close enough eh? But the hosers never showed. ???
Now I aint bought a sled video in quite some time, but from what I have seen - if you like Death Metal more than you like sledding - buy the others. If that stuff gives you a bigger headache than following a buddy that's burning AMSOIL - maybe give MMM7 a try.
