Summary:

If you're a big fan of Burton, this should be on your list, otherwise check out a few of the top-rated films for better video of most of these riders.

Review:

Thanks in Advance is an entertaining foray into the world of the Burton team. Nothing here is ground breaking, but there is plenty of good content. I understand Burton releasing their own film to continue promoting their brand image, and put vide of all of their riders in one place, but I'm a little underwhelmed with this effort.

There is some excellent footage of Terje, who I can never watch enough of, and Jeremy Jones has his usual handful of mind-blowing tricks, but most of the other riders have better parts in other films.

The editing is fine, but compared to most videos it really doesn't stand out. Same with the soundtrack, it just never really gets catchy.

Thanks in Advance is a double disc-er, so there's plenty of footage to keep you occupied here if you're bored and waiting for snow.
