Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Turning this around the other way, I have the first one "ultimate control" and wondered if it was worth buying the second?

And what do we all think their next DVD should be?

Knee Deep, he's a very good bloke. Yes, he actually teaches on the course and will normally take one of the groups. And not necessarily the top one. He wasn't actually teaching on our course as he was teaching on the SCGB reps training course that week also held in Tignes but he was very much around around in the mornings, lunchtime and evenings. Good guy with stacks of energy!
And if anyone is interested in the DVDs, this is the website where you can order them http://www.iysmedia.com/

I like his first video. I bought it for my wife, who's an improving intermediate. She's not very technically minded, but she understood pretty much everything discussed. I think his teaching method makes a lot of common sense.

uktrailmonster, indeed. Stewart Woodward here is sometimes an instructor on Phil Smith's Snoworks course so I'm sure will be happy to go through and clarify any points

FAQ
The second one seemed to needlessly go over things, explaining how to adjust your steering etc and I got a bit impatient with it - it's probably better to watch specific chapters rather than the whole DVD. But if you already have the second one I don't think you'd gain much by getting the first as it does cover the same ground. I can lend it to you if you like
