About

Follow a group of pommie friends on their wild adventures both on and off the river all across the world.

Content

This DVD takes you on a journey with some funky and wild characters. The movie portrays mostly play boating and showcases some truly spectacular play spots with the world’s best doing their thing. The action is punctuated by loads of off-the-water action. Perhaps a little too much for some people’s liking but at the end of the day it makes one realise what a great time these guys have and that life is lived to be enjoyed.

The footage was of a good quality and I always enjoy the helmet cam shots. There are some inspiring shots shown.

Locations range from a great section of the White Nile in Uganda, some solid creeking in the United Kingdom, and then more footage of Canada, North America, Italy, France and some other locations in Europe that were shown under the general title of ‘Europe’.

Music

While not being a music expert I’m not confident in naming the genre but will label it as a funky, hip hop, rap type of music. Not to everyone’s taste but then again you can’t please all of the people, all of the time. Overall, not really to my liking, but it does grow on one and the good footage can help to stray one’s ears. It should be enjoyed by the majority.

Conclusion

A decent movie that will satisfy the most hardened of play boaters with some world class action, but creek boaters won’t leave with smiles all round. With that said, there are still some good drops being run so all is not lost.

Extras

Three top ‘Jackass’ moments are shown and I’ll leave the rest to your imagination.
