It is...not great. Too many of the dirtbike guys doing the same floater whip, not enough trucks jumping dunes. The first 2 sequences are wasted oporitunities. Music is not my style. Just have to shake my head at the whole thing.

Agreed, the first 5 minutes was a waste. I like the moto jam session, would have liked to see them hit different jumps. And it was a Axel Hodges commercial, getting more time than most of the other riders put together.

It's a shame they spend all that money and effort getting all those people out there, and that's the finished product. Add more of the trucks, some sand rails, more moto jump locations, less boring skits. I love that they film at Glamis, but it seems like a complete lack of effort.

I watched for about a minute then thought to myself, what a waste of time. So I clicked the little red x and never looked back.

Thought about it and decided I rather get a back alley colonoscopy at a Flying J gas station.

Flying j..... I was moving a drill down to a job I had won in nebraska back in like 2010 and stopped at the Des Moines location, they had like 50 diesel pumps and tankers were rolling in every 15-30 minutes to unload, I was amazed at the business that place did. Never seen a truck stop as busy since then. The location wasn't ideal either, kinda suburban. Any gear jammers out there know of the place?

I watched it. I'm all good on the need to ever watch it again.

I bet it was awesome to be there filming it, hanging out, riding, and watching that stuff live though.

I watched it and honestly didn't get it. Maybe I'm getting too old to enjoy the dirt shark videos. But the first 4 minutes of the video were extremely pointless. Everything seemed to be done for the sake of "ohhhhh sh*t you know what would look cool...". The rally car and stock car had me asking out loud wtf. When the video actually starts 4 minutes and some change later it's a bunch of mindless, pointless bs.

This type of production makes me appreciate the work even more from guys like Cowling, Kirkpatrick, etc that work with a lot smaller budgets and make the most of their creativity.

On the plus side it was cool Bradshaw was in it even if he wasn't on a bike.

Slow start for sure. Glamis is on my bucket list, 2200 miles one way and 33 hours driving, but I need to ride those hills in my Baja.

I don't like bashing on someone who I've never even met... but on what planet are the people living on who still pay Dirt Shark for his video edits?? He's got such amazing material to work with; Axel is ridiculously talented at riding a dirt bike.... But every, fucking, Dirt Shark video seems to falls flat on it's face and reeks of missed potential from a production standpoint

Who can forget this train wreck of an awkward hot mess...

I watched it like most people watch porn.

Watched the first little bit, boring! Skipped most of it, thort I missed something good, went back, nope nothing exciting, so skipped to the money shot. But not even a money shot.

Waste of time.

Seems like a lot of effort and $ for basically 10 minutes of a monster commercial. At least Terrafirma and Crusty Videos lasted longer.

Axell has so much style. Damn.

Other than that, it was terrible.

The stock car and rally car part needed to get cut. Not a big fan of the sled part either. The rest was ok for me. Love Glamis!

I think many of you are expecting too much from this. Doonies is nothing more than a Monster Energy advertisement. Its not a story or documentary. With this in mind....I think its a great 13 min commercial.

I refuse to watch a bunch of grown men act like teenagers. They all look like a bunch of ex cons and troublemakers. Talented yes but they present themselves in such a sleezy d bag way. Just my opinion

This video woulda been better if they.....

Shorten the chick intro to just the chicks jumping out of the cool lifted bus... "Hi we are here!"

Ditch all the "Look how cool we are" intro shots.

More footage of the rally cars, monster trucks, trophy trucks, and even street bikes railing huge bowls and jumping. Doing stuff in vehicles you usually don't see out there. In fact that rock car that launched the large step up was the best footage in the whole video.

Those dudes wheelying the touring sport bikes was pretty sick tho..


I watched it once.

Completely agree this felt like an Axel Hodges commercial. He had 3x the screen time than all the other Monster Athletes that are much bigger stars in their respective formats. Only thing I saw from Twitch was his name flash on the screen.
