This video opens with at least five minutes of onscreen safety warnings, legal indemnification and thinly veiled abdications of responsibility, including a warning to not jump on the trampoline while watching the tape (duh!) an act, which, we're told, may result in "injuries including, but not limited to, death..." I'm surprised they didn't warn us not to drink hot coffee while on the trampoline, but clearly the videomakers (and their lawyers) certainly do emphasize safety! World trampoline champion Dan Millman, who is a good speaker and teacher, demonstrates on a Backyard Pro many basic, intermediate and advanced skills--virtually covering every move possible (that I could imagine, anyway) on the trampoline. With its emphasis on safety and excellent presentation of right and wrong moves, it seems a natural purchase for most public library collections. One note: after watching Dan's perfect form for 90 minutes jumping up and down on the trampoline, my eyes and head were going up and down like a bobble head doll, and I could not operate heavy machinery, an effect not mentioned in the legal warnings. Highly recommended. Aud: H, C, P. (R. Ray)
