Rubicon is now available on DVD and VHS. The video is approx. 75 minutes, and includes footage from Rubicon, Black Rock Desert, Bonneville Speedway and day 1 of the Dusy Ershim run. See the store pages for more details. | ||

Glad to see Rubicon on DVD (already ordered it). Just a quick question, is there an estimate of when Moab might be available? Thanks, Jeff | ||

Where is the technical in this thread...hehehe  | ||

No estimate on Moab right now, maybe around the holidays. The next one out will be the remainder of Dusy, then Moab after that. - Axel | ||

got the Rubicon dvd on Sat and watched. need to re-watch hole, moab and back east, but i gotta say guys, think this one is my favorite. really good work and the running commentary by Axel is hilarious. can't wait for Dusy II. | ||
| Jack Quinlan (Jsq) Senior Member Username: Jsq Post Number: 331 Registered: 10-2002 |
...so this one has commentary? I posted a while back that after watching hole in the rock that I would have liked more narration, I'm excited to see this one. | ||
| Robbie Donaldson (Robbie) Senior Member Username: Robbie Post Number: 374 Registered: 02-2002 |
it isn't a full narrative, but Axel pops in and tells you who's truck you are watching, where they are on the trail, what the driver is doing, and then throws in some great "straight man" style comic relief. | ||
| Axel Haakonsen (Axel) Moderator Username: Axel Post Number: 100 Registered: 02-2003 |
Yes, the Rubicon video has more commentary than the earlier videos. We realized after getting some feedback that more narration makes the footage make more sense for a viewer that was not present during filming. That is also the main reason why we pulled the Moab video from the store. There will be a new Moab video probably later this year, and it will have mostly footage from this years trip, along with some re-edited footage from 2001 (and possibly unreleased footage from 2000) along with background music and narration. - Axel | ||

The Rubicon video should be awesome. It's remarkable how seeing the trail videos refreshes the recollection. I also want Ho to see what he missed so that I can rub it in a bit. And I can't wait to see the Dusy video either. I want to see what I missed after Ho, the two Seans, and I took off early. All those pics of the tweaked frame ears and bent drag links and Premier Power action has me all pumped up. I'm accustomed to doing trails that take one day or even half a day. Seeing a trail that takes three or four days should be quite entertaining. | ||

Just got my copy today , + yes it is the best . Nice job , the only suggestion I could offer is to maybe tone down the music . Make it more of a background , and keep the narration + actual natural sounds louder . My 6 yr old now thinks you have to like disco (the music) if you like Land Rovers ,oh the shame. But you really have made a great one . Ed | ||

guys at work where I was showing it thought I was watching a porn flick when they heard the music - well, in a way I was ... | ||
| James (Jimmyg) Senior Member Username: Jimmyg Post Number: 293 Registered: 10-2002 |
I'll trade someone for Moab or Rubicon video with the Hole in the Rock and Back East. 2 for 1 must be good deal for someone. After you watch it once, you're ready for the next video. | ||

I recieved my DVD yesterday. It was a great production, really well thought out and put together. My DVD player really didn't like that copy though, and froze up half way through. Tried the other DVD player and it got to the very end before freezing up. I guess next time I'll buy a VHS. Otherwise, it was great! I Can't Wait for Dusy to come out.. | ||
| Axel Haakonsen (Axel) Moderator Username: Axel Post Number: 101 Registered: 02-2003 |
Sorry to hear that you had problems with your copy, Robert. Email me off-line and I'll work something out with you to get you a copy your player will accept. DVD-R is still bleeding edge technology, and unfortunately it is't completely standardized yet. We have not had a lot of problems with the DW DVD's, but if anyone does have a problem with a DVD they buy from us, email me and I'll work with you to get the issue resolved. Please include the make and model of the player(s) that are having problems, as I would like to see if there is a pattern. - Axel | ||

Jimmyg, Twenty bucks is just too much to spend to support Discoweb and have your own copy isn't it? You should start the "cheap fuck video of the month club". You and your cheap fuck buddies can buy one of each video and then rotate them around. | ||
| John Lee (Johnlee) Member Username: Johnlee Post Number: 123 Registered: 03-2003 |
Perhaps Jimmyg's buddy D Chapman can make his own DiscoWeb videos? That way Jimmyg and D can swap videos ad infinitum and save $20 and they can use DiscoWeb all they want without supporting DiscoWeb. Sounds perfect. | ||
| Chris Marcel (Gumarcel) Senior Member Username: Gumarcel Post Number: 461 Registered: 11-2002 |
"After you watch it once, you're ready for the next video." Thats such bull shit!!!! I have watched back east and hole in the rock like 30 times and it is great everytime. Why in the hell would you want to get rid of them! Don't be so cheap man. And think where you would be without this great resource? So support it, don't be shy! | ||
| John Lee (Johnlee) Member Username: Johnlee Post Number: 125 Registered: 03-2003 |
Oh man. I just watched my Rubicon DVD. Awesome. It totally brings back all of the great memories from that trip. Memories like Peters with 30 Safety Seal plugs in his sidewall. Kyle driving with his Lev-O-Gauge 12" from his face on the center of the binnacle on his stocker. LOL. Arney's Tupac wrap music. Michel's lowrider going over the rocks. Sean Wolf's sills crumpling inward at the beginning of the Rubicon. Ho sitting at home while the rest of us are flooring it across the Black Rock Desert. Ax's dry humor in the commentary makes it all the more enjoyable. I'm pumped up. Thanks DiscoWeb for a great DVD. And, uh, just for the record, it isn't the short wheelbase. It's the DRIVER. | ||
| Axel Haakonsen (Axel) Moderator Username: Axel Post Number: 102 Registered: 02-2003 |
That may be true, but if I had said that, you would just become unbearable..... Which driver version were you running at Rubicon, had you installed J.Lee 5.0 by then, or were you still running 4.5? - Axel | ||
| Rob Davison (Nosivad_bor) Senior Member Username: Nosivad_bor Post Number: 428 Registered: 02-2003 |
john, since you are done watching your dvd can you mail it to me so i can watch it? i'll pay shipping rd | ||
| John Lee (Johnlee) Member Username: Johnlee Post Number: 126 Registered: 03-2003 |
I think my favorite commentary in the Rubicon DVD is when Peters is done with an obstacle, and you can hear the "psssst psssst" from his ARB's. Then Ax says, "I heard that". LOL. | ||
| Chris Marcel (Gumarcel) Senior Member Username: Gumarcel Post Number: 466 Registered: 11-2002 |
God I want to get this dvd, if only i wasn't really poor right now!!! | ||
| Kyle Van Tassel (Kyle) Moderator Username: Kyle Post Number: 309 Registered: 11-2002 |
I am trying to think back to some of the comentary you are going to hear on the Dusi vid... You just forget so damn much of the trip and whats tehre on film is such a small part..... Kyle "Blow me" | ||
| John Lee (Johnlee) Member Username: Johnlee Post Number: 127 Registered: 03-2003 |
My favorite Kyle comment was when you were positioning in front of the drop-off before the Big Sluice and you said, "My Detroit ain't lettin me turn. It keeps sayin to me, 'Fuck you man, you ain't turnin.' LOL." That's some funny shit. | ||
| James (Jimmyg) Senior Member Username: Jimmyg Post Number: 296 Registered: 10-2002 |
Cheap fuck eh? My money is on my truck. Why don't some of you all just go to the dealer for all your fixes? You come to D-web to save money and get advise at a rate less than $89 an hour. I have no problem supporting D-web, I have stickers and the videos. The videos are good but I personally get tired of them after the 3rd or 4th time. I would rather recall my own memories and own video tapes of the same areas than to live through someone else. Rubicon may be good since I haven't been there, yet. Chris and Greg, Simma down now. | ||

Hi Axel, Not sure if I have mentioned, and this is not a complaint or a problem, but the DVD that I have of Hole in the Rock won't play on my PS2. Does seem to work OK on my PC's and stuff though. Just thought that this might be of some use. I will be ordering some more stuff soon too. Danny, UK. | ||
| Axel Haakonsen (Axel) Moderator Username: Axel Post Number: 104 Registered: 02-2003 |
Sure, who wouldn't. But for those people who aren't able to go to the places on the videos, it is a decent substitute. Other people just like to watch Land Rovers do their thing, and for them, the DW videos is another source of entertainment. It is also a way for us to generate some cashflow to offset the cost of running the site without asking for donations. You'd be surprised if you knew what is involved in making sure this place is up and running with fresh content every day. Kyle, Ho and myself all have regular dayjobs too, so it's not like DiscoWeb is our main occupation. I have to admit though, after spending hours and hours watching the footage during editing, by the time the videos are finally done, I am usually tired of them too..... - Axel | ||

Axel writes, "Kyle, Ho and myself all have regular dayjobs too, so it's not like DiscoWeb is our main occupation." Well don't tell that to Boeing Axel. My IT department might think DWEB is my full time job and the Osprey is just sort of a hobby. Glad to support, Paul Morgan '00 Pig | ||

"I would rather recall my own memories and own video tapes of the same areas than to live through someone else. Rubicon may be good since I haven't been there, yet." Yeah, Jimmyg, just get back to us when you actually do the Rubicon and Dusy. I'm still waiting for Wal-Mart to deliver D's Rock Attack footage. | ||

Axel, I hear you. You three do an awesome job keeping this board going and I for one, thank you all very much. Mr. Lee, I would love to have you come along on the trails I hit 3-4 times a week in CO. Or maybe the many trails I was able to run in Moab twice a month. You talk so much shit that your eyes must be brown. I also have a very small sample of pics from here in Crozet Va which I would call, RockCrawling. When my digital picture illiterate ass figures out how to post a pic from a cd I will. | ||

Geeze, Jimmy. The videos are about supporting the site, just buy the damn thing, concede that what you said was stupid, apologize, and move on. Think about it. Who on this site will agree with you on trading them, especially when you are using Discoweb as your vehicle for trading? Tom | ||
| James (Jimmyg) Senior Member Username: Jimmyg Post Number: 298 Registered: 10-2002 |
Geeze, RVR OVR. As I stated before, I support this site. Why should I apologize? Spend your precious time helping others rather than trying to bash me for some dumb ass reason. Remember what this board is about! This shit is turning into a damn soap opera. I paid for my videos, I thought someone else would like them since I have no use for them anymore. I paid, I enjoyed, and I am now done. | ||
| James (Jimmyg) Senior Member Username: Jimmyg Post Number: 300 Registered: 10-2002 |
Mr. Lee...Here you go. These pics (if they show up) are just a few from the rocks we have here in Va that you have not seen. The Red Fj-40 is on at least 37's and ends up rolling. This is 10 minutes from my house.    | ||
| Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Senior Member Username: V22guy Post Number: 1569 Registered: 02-2002 |
Where's the Rover Pics? | ||
| Axel Haakonsen (Axel) Moderator Username: Axel Post Number: 105 Registered: 02-2003 |
Just for the record, I can confirm that. Jimmy has bought videos to support the site. What he chooses to do with them after he has watched them, is his business. - Axel | ||

i dont understand why some folk talk smack about the trails they run and then post pics of somebody elses truck doing it??? this pic here.. these are the trails we run up here in the wilds of Connecticut.. ( i wish.. )  | ||
| John Lee (Johnlee) Member Username: Johnlee Post Number: 129 Registered: 03-2003 |
LOL. Jimmyg, it's clear why you and D. Chapman are buddies. You both post pics of other people's trucks on some trail you've never even been on and then thump your chest. How pathetic. | ||
| James (Jimmyg) Senior Member Username: Jimmyg Post Number: 301 Registered: 10-2002 |
Those pics are just proof that there is rock crawling here in Va and that is it. I never said that a Rover was ever on those trails. For the record, I've only been off-roading with Chapman 1 time and probably will go again with him. | ||
| Kyle Van Tassel (Kyle) Moderator Username: Kyle Post Number: 310 Registered: 11-2002 |
So we sell vids of OUR trucks on OUR site of shit that WE ran and you post pics of someone elses shit, on shit that you didnt run on OUR site. Um , where was the point again ? Man you have got to be young not to see how stupid your banter comes off.... Kyle "Blow me" | ||
| James (Jimmyg) Senior Member Username: Jimmyg Post Number: 306 Registered: 10-2002 |
Whatever...the point is that there is rockcrawling in Va, that is it! No other damn point. | ||
