As th e video jacket says, you 'll see 30 m in u tes of David Bailey, Da mo n Bradsh a w, Dou g Dubach , Micky Dymond, Rick J ohnson, J ohnny O 'Mara , J eff Sta nton , J eff War d and severa l o ther top , factory rid ers perform ing awesome jumps. Wh at makes this video amazing, and entertaining, is the leaps these pros make over double jumps, up near-vertical climbs and off of rock ledges. Most are shown in slow motion which makes them even more impressive. Bailey also utilizes some special effects whic h bo th add and detra ct to the act io n. It 's a nice touch that adds some flash to the images, bu t at th e same time some of the jumps become distorted. There's one other small detail that some viewe rs may dislike, and it 's not Bailey 's fault, it 's some riders ' lack of upper body protection while making these dangerous flights. Despite the strong disclaimerto not try any ofthe jumps p ic t u red , some h o tsh ots wi ll u ndoubta bly try to emulate the moves in the video, and it wo u ld be nice if the pros set an examp le for the im portance of fu ll safety gear. Air Ma nia is sure to entertain and amaze both the diehard mo tocross fan and casual observer. As an added bonus, there 's a h umoro us m otocross rap video and David Bailey tribute at the end of the tape. Availab le from Videos by Profesj sor Bailey, P.O.
