This is a repackaged version of the 1988 Kodak video (see review). Extra footage was added at the end featuring Barney Akers, Bob Rule, Dale Myrberg, and Harvey Lowe. The segment lasts 7 minutes and is narrated by Dale Myrberg. Each of the four demonstrators perform various tricks. Bob Rule also does some spin top tricks. This segment is way too short. I dropped a note to the Smothers Brothers through their web site, asking them if I could get a copy of the Master footage, or if it would ever be released as another video. This is the response I received from an unnamed replier: "Sorry but the master footage from the Masters' taping session is in storage and not available to send out." Sounds pretty lame to me. Seems like a waste that something which is "valuable" to many yo-yo enthusiasts is collecting dust on a shelf somewhere. Maybe if enough people bug them they will make the footage available to the public. Email the Smothers Brothers at smobro1@aol.com and let them know you want to see the additional footage. |
