Patrick Stephens Freestyle Part 3: The Hucklebuck Strikes Again!
You've all heard of the "blaxploitation" flicks from the '70s, right? Street freestyle impresario Patrick Stephens appears to have invented a new genre of film with a similar modus operandi, one that might be best described as "bumsploitation." In this, his third DVD, Stephens takes his familiar "bum-humping" exploits and ratchets them up another level with the "Bum Olympics," a series of skits that mostly involve getting already intoxicated bums even drunker and turning them loose in shopping carts, junk cars, 50s and everything else with wheels to embarrass themselves. Either you're going to love this or hate this-for us, we'd really rather watch Stephens ride his bikes than listen to some bum mumble out of his jacked-up grill; luckily there's plenty of solid riding presented here too (street, spot and even a little hotel lobby and golf course action) by both Stephens and talented friends like Brando from BrandX Freestyle and the incomparable Pyro Punks. Bonus: footage from Stephens' recent trip to China, where he performed shows and killed the streets in Shanghai.

TeamStunters.com:Those Crazy Texans
Big Scott and the rest of the TeamStunters.com crew are back at it again with a new DVD that takes you along for the ride across Texas, Mexico and Florida to watch them perform at various events. Those Crazy Texans introduces us to the talents of Zach "The Rookie" Shockey who-joined by Big Scott and Matt Lindamood-balances out the stunt action on this DVD, along with cameos from the likes of Kyle Woods, Eric Hoenshell and fellow Crazy Texan Patrick Stephens to keep things interesting. Especially noteworthy is the soundtrack and how well the sound frames the action. Big Scott understands the importance of music in driving a stunt DVD, and this one pulls it off. Be sure to check out Zach Shockey's Kung Fu and the other usual pranks that we've come to expect from TeamStunters, and don't miss the section titled "Failure"-a no-nonsense look at what happens when stunts go wrong.
