Intrikat Background DVD Review by Effraim
« on: June 08, 2008, 11:37:10 PM »
Background was directed and produced by Intrikat in 2001. Now a DVD version was just released and Effraim decided to do a review:

Seven years on and Intrikat have just released onto dvd, the “classic” Background, with “Foreground” Andrew Faris bonus section. Look at that list of riders! What a cast. Going back to 2001, the contest scene was healthy, (X trials, X games, Worlds, etc). This video at the time seemed to capture the progression whilst also...read the whole review.

This vid was waiting in the mail when I got home from New Orleans.  Amazing stuff no matter what the era.  For the record Martti Kuoppa is a bad ass mutha fugga and I want to see him ride in person.  Martti, get your ass to Voodoo next year bro, and drag Viki with you!  :ph34r:

----The Faris footage is mostly from comps, lots of ESPN ones as far as I could tell (although not the tv footage of course, I assume Chad taped it himself or got it from someone who was there), cool to see him riding, but nothing really very unusual. The best Faris stuff I ever saw was on some older vid, like as old or older than Background, and maybe one of the Canadian vids. He was doing all the wild barflippity stuff, kinda like Viki meets Royer only a foot taller than them ha-ha.

I believe Ralph was riding more like Jimmy. I remember he was on a pink Homecore aswell. Alex was also dope to watch that day, was when all the spinning cliffhangers started.

My best friend won Am at that comp.

They are 5.99 each plus 5.00 shipping.

So 10.99 a DVD. Excellent value for money! Chad is the man.
