Our hostess, Kiaora Bohlool, an attractive, talented, native Hawaiian, known by her fans as “The Bad Girl of Motorised Cool”, takes viewers to the racing pits and finish lines, often so close to the action that you could feel the thunder and roar of top fuel dragsters or jump as a four-wheeler loses traction and tumbles down a steep hill-climb.

Each episode presents a variety of professional and amateur motorsports from monster trucks to high-powered ultra lights, screaming snowmobiles, or extreme motocorss… all amid the fun and outrageous fans often found at these action-laden events.

Sarah Gerhardt became a star in the surfing universe in 1999 as the first woman to slice across a monster wave at Northern California’s legendary Maverick’s. Media coverage, sponsorship and adulation followed, but Sarah’s dramatic journey from poverty and despair to accomplishment and peace went unnoticed. Producers / Directors Sally Lundburg and Elizabeth Pepin’s “One Winter Story” traces Sarah’s strength and determination to their roots in a beautiful montage of film, voice, memory and emotion. The surfing footage is an awesome sight but the fine, intensely immediate rendering of Sarah’s experience is this unforgettable film’s real reward.

“One Winter Story” is an unprecedented glimpse into the male-dominated world of big-wave surfing from an unusual and seldom seen perspective – a woman’s. This unique hour-long 16mm and super 8 film explores the nature of fear and faith through the experiences of big-wave surf pioneer, Sarah Gerhardt. “One Winter Story” is a personal documentary that follows Sarah as she surfs Maverick’s, a monstrous wave that breaks in the freezing, shark-infested waters off Northern California, while simultaneously attempting to earn her Ph.D in Physical Chemistry, a scientific field of study women rarely pursue.

Sarah is a genuine big-wave pioneer, the first woman to surf what is one of the largest waves in the world. In the eight years that she has been surfing Maverick’s, Sarah has found that each time is a unique experience, determined by the wave itself and her own response. Through it all, we share Sarah’s fear and frustration, and come to understand how her family and her faith help her take on the obstacles in her life and find peace within herself.

Also many of it’s other titles from the world of Extreme Sports, Watersports (eg Powerboat Racing) and Motor Sport crash clips archive.

Stompin’ Stu is most importantly – a film about being inspired.

“The titular vehicles of Savage’s aptly-named documentary are, in fact, pre-1941 bicycles, gamely converted into mountain bikes. In his documentary Savage takes a fond glimpse at this international craze” The New York Times

Featuring interviews with the pioneers of the sport, as well as more ‘obscure’ characters that influenced them. What started off as a way for these athletes to cross-train for their road racing careers, and have fun with their friends, reinvigorated the global cycling industry.

All the participants in this film are deeply dedicated to the advancement of the bicycle as fun and functional transportation in modern society, as well as a tool for empowering the poverty stricken worldwide.

“Savage’s funny and often poignant film looks at how a bunch of hippies in Northern Califonia developed a unique style of off-road bike riding through collaboration and competition … worth checking out, even if you’re not a bike nut.” USA Today

According to a 2008 studied titled The Economics and Benefits of Mountain Biking “One in five Americans age 16 and over now ride a mountain bike each year … with the total riding population at close to 50 million riders.” The modern mountain bike is rugged enough to go anywhere, but efficient enough to ride gracefully through the city streets.

The glamour, the power, the excitement of the World’s best Powerboat Teams coming together in this unique series of events. Spectacular action, in fabulous scenery produced by Class 1 Television, one of the best in Powerboat Television.

Teams from: Italy, France, England, Greece, Belgium, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Hungary, Latvia, Russia, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, Qatar, Bangladesh, USA.

From Qatar the story behind the Class 1 World Powerboat Championship.

In 2004 His Excellency Sheikh Hassan bin Jabor al Thani, a member of the Qatar Ruling Family, sets off on a journey. His aim is to become World Champion at what many regard as the most extreme power sport on the planet. It’s a treacherous voyage, luck is not with him, but two years on the desire deepens and the will to succeed still inspires a Nation. Class1 is the pinnacle of powerboat racing and although money is relevant in keeping up with today’s top players – it’s not the key. This is a team game. Before however you can picture the enormity of the challenge it is necessary to consider the implication. Just for a moment imagine yourself in the enclosed cockpit of a 5 ton racing machine so complicated it takes 2 onboard drivers working together to control it. One throttles – the other steers. Screaming behind you two one thousand horsepower engines thrusting you at 300 kilometres an hour across a surface that never stays still. No brakes! The flag is raised, throttles down, the breathtaking charge to the first mark begins. 10 boats and one objective… to arrive first. When it goes wrong it’s terrifying. “All this for the Love of Speed and Power”.
