We believe you will agree this is the most comprehensive instructional video ever produced! You will go farther and faster with improved confidence. Our fast paced motivational video demonstrates and explains techniques for braking, turning, climbing and descending.

This dvd is hosted by World Champ and mountain bike legend Ned Overend. Ned is like the Energizer Bunny. His supercharged batteries are now going on 30 years, and they've kept him at the top of his game the whole time.

Ned's latest conquest has been off-road triathlons. Namely, the XTERRA World Championships, a swim/mountain bike/trail run triathlon in Maui that mountain biking's "elder statesman" has won twice. And at age 52, he's going for another win this year.

When Ned retired from pro mountain biking in 1996, he knew he'd keep competing. It's in his blood. Or more like the strands of his DNA. But he wanted to do it his way. Pick certain races - mountain runs like Imogene Pass near Telluride, off-road triathlons like the XTERRA Championships, and even regular road triathlons. Competitions he could train for and still be a father, husband, businessman, author, trails advocate, and genuine nice guy.

Even when Ned was at the height of his career - winning the first mountain biking UCI World Championships in 1990, six national titles, and several World Cups, among countless other titles - he's always kept a certain balance in his life. A balance that's likely a key to his success. Enjoy his video as he shares detailed knowledge picked up along the way.

THE CALL OF THE RIVER
A Hundred Years of Whitewater Adventure Featuring vintage canoeing and kayaking footage, in-depth interviews with eclectic pioneers and captivating narrative, this documentary takes a behind-the-scenes look at what inspires paddlers to answer the call of the river.

Whitewater’s history has as many twists and turns as the canyons its pioneers explored. Its story is a collage of unexpected influences, from building boats in friends’ basements to bribing damkeepers to release water. World champions defect from communist regimes and then utilize military by-products for boat materials. Curiosity, ingenuity and outright audacity thrived as paddlers started exploring virgin runs and experimenting with designs and materials to make the sport easier.

The film chronicles the world of whitewater from its early beginnings in Europe through its position as a major outdoor sport in the world today. From the inaugural FIBArk race on Colorado’s Arkansas River in 1949, to Grumman Aviation entering the aluminum canoe business, the sport’s history is riddled with watershed moments, all of which have been painstakingly documented through more than 100 sources of footage.

Learn how paddling exploded in the 1970s, spurred by the movie Deliverance, slalom’s inclusion in the 1972 Augsburg Olympics, and the advent of nearly indestructible plastic kayaks. Follow along as this cult-classic takes you from world champion defections from communist-occupied countries to the summer camps and clubs that fueled the sport’s early growth and continue to do so today. From early explorations in fragile wood and canvas boats to today’s multi-manufacturer line-up of creek, play and river-running kayaks, nowhere has the sport’s journey from obscurity to mainstream been so thoroughly unveiled.
