Well almost. Many of you may remember when I released this movie on VHS
back in December 2000. It was very well received by most folks on the
RCSE list. I'm hoping most of you have worn out your VHS copies :-)
This new 2006 DVD version has a new name, it’s called "Lift Ticket, The
Director’s Cut" (LTDC). Rather than convert the original movie straight
to DVD I decided to take advantage of this opportunity to re-edit Lift
Ticket to make it even better. During the process I shortened some of
the scenes, removed others completely, added a bunch of new footage,
new music and re-recorded the narration.
Don’t worry, all the classic slope soaring scenes are still there, like
Scott Hewett’s smoking F-20 flight in front of the Golden Gate Bridge,
the Wallowa Road trip, ballistic footage from Eagle & Chandler Butte’s,
Sage shredding a Zagi, interview with Pat Bowman, the man who brought
us EPP, combat footage from the Los Banos Bash and Kiona Butte,
truckloads of scale footage from various soaring events including, Los
Banos Scale, PSS Festival at Cajon and Soar Utah. Speaking of Soar Utah
we’ve added three new flights from Point of the Mountain and a whole
new sequence that was filmed at spectacular Antelope Island.
Perhaps the biggest changes have taken place with regards to the
Dynamic Soaring footage. Like before, we start out at world famous
Parker Mountain and interview dynamic soaring pioneer, Joe Wurts. After
Joe shares his story about the first time he encountered DS we travel
to NorCal and visit some DS slopes that were discovered after the Roe
video made DS more popular. The final chapter in the movie is about
chasing the DS speed record. This segment documents in chronological
order many of the unofficial world record DS flights and attempts that
occurred between May of 2000 (156mph) and October 2005 (301 mph).
LTDC will be available for purchase on August 28, 2006 on Replicated
