BURN DVD Review - by Mit Doow



BURN by Metalstorm

I havent seen too many DVD's lately, I should watch more DVD's like this! with a planned trip to samoa coming up with a few mates and of course The Boss, I borrowed this from a friend. I've barely taken it out of the player since.

Are you allowed to start a surf flick with a Kelly section? Isn't that a bit unfair for the others in it? I could just watch this part by itself.

The guys that really blew me away in this DVD, were Fred Patachia, Bobby Martinez and Bruce Irons, but everyone here rocks.

I remember Fred in Wave Warriors 4, hanging with Kalani and missing school. He killed it then and he kills it now. He does have a small resemblance to Jonny Boy Gomes tho??

On the WCT surf manager last year I know of 1 person, and there must be more, who choose Bobby as their rookie card. For a wet-back he sure gets wet a lot. Growing up in the hood with crazy Mexicans must have been crazy as a surfer, but it has worked, and I've realized my mistake for not liking the Oakley glasses ad campaign with him in it a few years ago. If I was a crazy goofy foot latino from Santa Barbara, I would hope I surfed like him.

B.I., if thats not the ultimate parent trap( I wonder if they have a brother called Carl) has always been part B to Andy, but its not for his lack of surfing. This guy will upset a few people, as he has already, on the tour, and I think he will give Irons "A" a good run for his money.

The soundtrack is awesome, mixing hip hop, guitars, and some dub reggae in with the great surfing. In fact some of these songs have become part of my pre surf playlist.

As a total package, I would give this probably 4.5/5, where does it lose points? I havent seen any DVD's lately, like I said, so I cant compare it, so there must be something better, right?

Watch when you’re missus kicks you out of the house and you need a pick me up!
