Ace Montana always wins first place in everything. Chaos reigns in this hilarious comedy when three obsessed dads take over builing their sons' pinewood derby cars with the sole purpose of beating Ace's clone-line son.
When most Americans hear the words Â"roller derby” today, they think of the kitschy sport once popular on weekend television during the seventies and eighties. Originally an endurance competition where skaters traveled the equivalent of a trip between Los Angeles and New York, derby gradually evolved into a violent contact sport often involving fake fighting. But after nearly dying out in the nineties, derby has been making a comeback. From a mere handful of leagues in the United States just a few years ago, there are now more than 17,000 skaters in ! more than 400 leagues around the world, with hundreds of thousands of die-hard fans. Down and Derby will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about the sport. Written by veteran skaters as both a history and a how-to, Down and Derby is a brassy celebration of every aspect of the sport, from its origins in the late 1800s, to the rules of a modern bout, to the science of picking an alias, to the many ways you can get involved off skates.
Informative, entertaining, and executed with the same tough, sassy, DIY attitude — leavened with plenty of humor — that the sport is known for, Down and Derby is the first and last book on derby you’ll ever need.
DVDTake all the best moments of the movies Sandlot and Follow Me Boys, and you have...the new coming-of-age comedy, Scout Camp. The Fire Dragon patrol, with their ever supportive scoutmaster Kerry (Kirby Heyborne, Saints and Soldiers and The R.M.) is headed to Camp Rakhouta for what might be t! he best week of their lives. But when the legendary Spirit Sti! ck of th e prestigious camp goes missing, the entire tradition of the camp is threatened. Now the Fire Dragons, led by York Hayes (Shawn Carter, High School Musical 1, 2, and 3) must do whatever it takes to find the stick, return it, and restore the legacy of the camp. For many boys scout camp is the highlight of their entire summer. Sleeping and cooking outdoors, campfires, swimming, canoeing, the rifle range these are the exciting activities of which great stories and memories are made. For the moms and sisters and sometimes dads who stayed home, the movie Scout Camp will at last reveal some of the secrets about what really goes on at that annual retreat in the woods. Director, Writer, and Producer Garrett Batty calls the movie a labor of love. This film was inspired and created by Eagle Scouts who share a love for the Scouting program.
