It's finally out! I watched it last night. The production quality is pretty good. Lots of cool stuff. My favorites: The Garrahans, Lafferty and Hawkins, Shane in Australia and the Elsinore GP footage.

i recently bought the first one. i was surprised and disappointed in how much freestyle was in it. is the second one the same way?

Truly it's out? Like, in the shops? For sale? Not just a demo copy you've got? You're not ****ting me are ya?
So who's selling them? How much?
Sorry, after reading/hearing for about 2 years that T2R2 was "coming soon", I find it hard to believe that it's real. Motohed.com doesn't have the new video as being released on the site yet, so I'm sceptical 
As for the amount of freestyle on the 1st video, I can live with that but less is always better.

I saw it in a small catalog at the local shop a couple months ago. My shop owner was told that they were sitting in a crate in a shipyard in CA somewhere. Can't wait to see it. The small amount of freestyle in the first one was ok with me, since it made up such a small portion of an otherwise incredible video! Heck, I'm on my second copy of TTR1, since I have worn out the first one, and Thunder's boy tried to eat it once, which didn't help it any! It's funny to look back at that freestyle, too, and see what was so "hot" just a couple or three years ago. Things have progressed, so to speak...

It's definately available. Call Dean at 1-877-motohed to get a copy. I'm waiting for mine....

Okay, here's my thoughts on it.
Lose Watts. I don't need to see some dickhead doing wheelies, burnouts etc etc. He may be a great rider but to me, he has no class. The footage in Aus of them actually riding in the bush was great, the rest of it was a waste of space.
More footage of the Garrahans, Lafferty would be fantastic, as would more of the Elsinore GP. The OAS footage seemed like a filler? Desert racing was cool. Basically, I enjoyed it but honestly did not enjoy the Watts stuff - to me, that let the video down (was way too long).
After watching 1, I was all keen to see the next one, but after seeing 2, I'm not so sure. The first 30 minutes or so was "wow, this is great" the next was "I hope they show some more good footage soon" & left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth.
Lafferty explaining how to ride ruts & log crossings was great - does he do a tuition video? Worthwhile buying the video for that & did I mention the Garrahans? Those two showed how much they ride together - so smooth & similar riding styles. Very impressive.
Rating: 6/10 (it honestly would've got a higher rating from me without Watts - I used to think he was great, now I just think he's a dick).

Why/How is Wattsy a dick? Just curious...

Wheelstanding along a freeway, crass, doing burnouts, I dunno, he just rubs me the wrong way. Basically portrays an image of an immature idiot & I don't think that needs to be recorded. Believe me, I'm not exactly strait-laced myself, but I'm also not in the public eye. I guess he's a Crusty off-road image & that to me lets the video down. More off-road riding over in Aus would've have been better.
Oh, the female footage has taken a step in the right direction - at least she rides & wears all her protective gear ('on ya Steffi).
But NO freestyle

You mean no women like that picture you sent me a while ago with the chick in the short cut-off blue jeans, spaghetti strap shirt and helmet? What did I do with that picture, it was quite nice.

Eric, you're sad If you'd seen the first video, you'd realise what I meant - chicks in bikinis riding bikes. Yes, I know sex sells, but riding without full riding gear is sheer stupidity.As for the pic you're talking about, I don't buy that mag often any more - my way of protesting against the sexist advertising (nah, not really, it's just boring and chances are I'd buy it, put it in the van & forget I'd bought it after skimming through the pages).
