    Great fun both for sports aficionados and for ordinary louts whose idea of exercise is climbing the steps of a stadium-seat megaplex.

    You feel like you're the one moving at 80 mph, not the street lugers.

    Via the IMAX format -- and some blown-up DV -- we get loads of high-adrenaline kicks, as well as some very peculiar philosophy.

    Special P.O.V. camera mounts on bikes, skateboards, and motorcycles provide an intense experience when splashed across the immense IMAX screen.

    While the finished product is still fun, never dull and the athletes themselves remarkable, inspired and apt, the production could have been improved.

    Visually as buffed as the athletes it celebrates, but also as airheaded as most of them seem to be.
