Three... Extremes

Right at the beginning someone complains that every snowmobile manual warns that the machines are not to be used for jumping. So of course this entire production features relentless footage of skillful (and maybe a little crazy) fellows jumping their snowmobiles over hills and ramps and even off some fearsome cliffs. As a 65-minute compilation assembled from the best of three earlier Slednecks films, the action is predictably wild. There are hill climbs that look impossible and drops over sheer cliffs that defy all common sense. A flaming snowmobile (manned by a dummy, we hope) shoots over a cliff, crashes, and tumbles gloriously, tossing fireballs as it skitters across the drifts. The graceful scenes of what are essentially snowmobile acrobatics are also punctuated with occasional clips of vicious wipeouts and runaway machines, as well as a few recurring comedic bits featuring a redneck character named Jed. But for the most part this is a very professionally shot tribute to some very skillful snowmobile daredevils. --Robert J. McNamara
