Sports reviews of Spinervals Virtual Reality 2.0: Lake Placid Training Ride DVD

Customer Review: could be better...
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars

purchased this item because i liked the spinervals competition series so much and because i know the lake placid area well...could be a great video with a couple of changes...
1) i don't mind the "coach troy cam" when it is a small frame to the side of the main frame, but when it is the only view, it is horrible...it is very blurry which makes it hard to watch for long, and it flattens the road so you cannot determine the grade of a climb or descent...the climb out of jay is 100% "troy cam" and while it is described by troy as a hard climb, it is impossible to tell...and did i mention that it is blurry the whole time?
2) troy's incessant chatter is ok when he is talking about technical things like gear ratios, cadence, heart rate, etc...but the filler stuff is hard to take ("i'm looking around to see where you are...thought i had lost you..." or "the sign ahead says take a right to go to 'some town name' but we're not going there so don't worry about it, although we will be taking a right eventually"

so, for future road series dvd's, i hope spinervals gets rid of the helmet cam and limits troy to the technical aspects of the ride and let the video speak for the rest.

Description of Spinervals Virtual Reality 2.0: Lake Placid Training Ride DVD

Ride with Coach Troy Jacobson in a virtual 56 mile cycling tour over majestic hills in the Adirondack region of picturesque Lake Placid, New York! Enjoy incredible scenery as you ride on Troy's wheel as he coaches you on proper technique, gear selection and intensity during this high aerobic endurance training ride of about three hours in duration. As this ride covers much of the race course for the famous Iron distance event in Lake Placid, you'll hear tips and suggestions on race day nutrition, pacing strategy and more! Starting in Lake Placid, the ride takes you down the hill to the town of Keene then over rolling hills to the sleepy town of Jay. The climbing really starts on the way to Wilmington, with an out and back section on Haselton Road that shocks the legs. Once back in Wilmington, the last leg of the ride includes a 14 mile uphill jaunt back to Lake Placid with the incredible White Face Mountain and the Au Sable River on your right side. Overall, this is a cycling workout for the record books and a fantastic training workout! This DVD contains two audio tracks including one with coaching mixed with music and one with only coaching and no music, allowing you to play your own favorite music in the background.
