This is the 3rd motion release brought to you by Be-mag. But you will not only get a DVD. You will also get a free Cameron Card poster with the DVD. To get things straight I will start with the intro. The intro is simply mind-boggling. One thing should be clear: Be-mag is taking no prisoners! Every trick is a hammer and totally insane! I really think that Cameron Card’s trick is one of the sickest tricks I have every seen in my life. But also Ricardo Lino’s negative Acid, which could be seen on the cover of Issue 15, is amazing and deserves to be mentioned.

Up next is the Enanoh Moreno and Ricardo Lino double section. These two guys really match each other. Some people said that Enanoh fell off when he started to wear tighter pants. But this section proves them wrong. Enanoh and Lino show that they are able to drop hammers. Or is there anyone who thinks a Negative Acid on a kink rail is an easy trick?

After this you can see a montage section. It shows skating from Europe and the USA. I could not believe my eyes and had to re-watch several tricks. One trick which I think is especially hard was a 270 BS Backslide to out-spin Sweaty on a handrail. If you ever wanted to see Chris Shaw’s hammers – which were printed in Be-mag – on a video, then you will definitely be satisfied. This section is finished of with some sick Russian skating and Leonov crashing into a car.

Gonzo is a friendly guy, he has got a pro frame and he has also got a section on in Under Wraps. I really dig his style. This might be because his switch-ups are so fast and clean. To me he just seems to be some kind of rubber ball, he’s always moving and bouncing around. His section is impressive and long deserved. I hope that this guy has got even more success in the future.

The second montage section is also featuring skating from Europe and the USA. Being Austrian I have to say that Stefan Horngacher and Gabriel Hyden are from Austria. On the DVD the subtitle says they are German. This might be due to the fact that all the tapes which showed them were sent in by Ignition Skateshop in Germany. But I think that this is not really important. More important is that I really like the colour highlights in this section. It’s mostly black and white. But usually a special colour is highlighted and all the other colours are eliminated which looks great.

The next two sections are tour sections. One is a Euro Tour and the other one is a USA Tour. The tricks which were pulled on the Euro Tour were totally nuts and the song which is used for this sections provides a nice atmosphere. Stefan Horngacher, Al Hooi, Sean Kelso, Gabriel Hyden, Steve Dürr, Avichai, Fridolin Eelbo, Eric Percett and many more show how proper skating is done. Pretty much the same thing can be said about the US tour. Do I really need to say more than: Bambrick, S. Kelso, Morris, Gallegos, Spira and O’Neil?

Last but not least there is a Sean Kelso section. Sean is known for his clean and technical style. His section in Under Wraps will make this reputation grow even stronger. It’s a real pleasure to watch people with such amazing skills. His one footed switch-ups are great, just look at this earlier sections or at his interview had in one of Be-mag’s printed issues if you don’t know what I’m talking about.

I will not say much more about the bonus stuff on this DVD, just three things… It is long. It is good and there is stuff featured which would be enough – in quality and quantity – to produce a second DVD. Also the filming and editing of the main DVD is done very well and there is something for everyone due to the fact that there were a lot of different people who contributed footage. Buying this DVD is definitely the right decision.
