    Default Clorophilla DVD Review

    Ever hear someone say “you like a little pie with your sauce” when you or someone else is hosing down a meat pie with 10 litres of sauce? Probably not, but that idea comes to mind when watching this video...

    Check it out here.

    First let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes you've been hearing about. Our model is the trapezoid.

    The name is pretty lame too, i have to agree. kinda devalues the one word and/or combinations of words that dont make total sense trend in mtb movies - they came up with one word that seems to lack relavence and if anything (and going on the screenshots and review) seem to make reference to some sort of flora fetish.

    It's reviews like this that keep me from reading AMB.

    Anyway here's my thoughts on the dvd from another thread:

    Hook this 'team' up with some decent riders, and you'll have one wicked production. Until then ...

    Ciao Scott and thank you for your fantastic review...this is a normal level freeride movie for normal level freeriders.
    If your skillz are higher and you're looking a progressive video to stimulate your technical movement you have to buy DVD featuring tabletop pics on the cover. I can suggest you NWD series and many others.
    Clorophilla is for riders riding in the Nature, not for those who ride in parks, backyards, skatepark or dirt jumps.
    I'm sorry you don't understood that.


    Ciao from Italy!

    Better "sugo" that "sauce"

    I found Ridemonkey.com among Farkin's suggested links.
    Here's their review about Clorophilla:

    Thanks for your comments leafrider, I appologise if my comments seem harsh but I stick by my review. I can understand that I perhaps didn't quite get the theme you portayed, I reviewed it from a perspective that the average Farkin reader can relate to. Generally the farkin population tends to steer towards race/downhill side of things, sometimes we don't understand freeriding or the 'passion' that other people have for the sport. By all means don't stop producing films like you have because of cheap words from people like myself, there are obviously cultures and markets that will absolutly love your film, however the Australian race scene might not be that market. I also applaud you for not unleashing wrath on me in your post as many have done in the past for a negative review.
