This video follows a neighborhood as it explores one of the latest sports fads: scooters. Scooter Mania teaches the basics of using a scooter, advanced tricks, and the differences between scooter brands. It also highlights one very important element: safety. Most of the 50 or so riders, who are primarily kids, are shown wearing the proper protective gear, which a lot of people don't bother to wear. (Just ask your local emergency room.) About one-third of the 30-minute video is really worth watching for the great beginner tricks and tips, but much of it seems like filler, especially a long portion in which a camera gives us a scooter's-eye view of one endless route. Many of the tricks, such as grinds and bunny hops, are so simple that many kids with a little bit of experience already know how to do them. It gets an "A" for its awesome attitude, but a "C" for second-rate instruction. --Gillian Clow
